Future Farmers At The Fair There aro several precautions to tako when feeding potatoes to live stock and they are important, claims Jerry So tola, assistant professor of animal husbandry at Washington State college. Excess dirt should bo removed from potatoes before they arc used as feed. Badly decayed tubers should be sort ted out especially if the succulence Is to be chopped before feeding. Frozen potatoes cause bloat and are a dangerous feed. Freezing increases the sugar content which ferments easily and is a source of gas. Sprouts should bo rubbed off be fore the potatoes are fed, advises Mr. Sot ola. The sprouts contain a poison known as solanln and it Is not safe to feed sprouted potatoes without taking this precaution. Livestock fed any quantity of po tatoes will crave salt and should be salted liberally. This craving Is the result of the loss of sodium from the animal body. The sodium is used , to help remove the large quantities I of potassium which potatoes bring Economist Makes Suggestions For Caring For Fruit Dried apples prepared In varlou ways make a plsaslng change In the menu wlien one tlrca ot fresh or can ned appleo, believes Stella M. Hey wood of tho Washington State collego division of home economics. The object In drying apples Is to preserve them by the removal of mois ture. It is desirable to do this with as little change In the taste, odor, color or nutritive value aa possible. The most suitable method for tho home Is to dry the fruit In an oven or over the stove, explains MIm Hey-' wood. It will be necessary to use an evaporator when drying fruit on top of the stove. The evaporator may do made out of a box. Cleatj ohould ho fastened to the Inside for the holding of trays. One side of the box should be on hinges to serve as a door.
