Hooverixed Country Breakfast.
Excerpt from the Hooverlz.ed food
experience of the nmn who edits the
"Missouri Notes" column In the Kan
tus City Times:
"The friends who entertained us
warned us that they were living very
frugally and proved the assertion at
very meal. For example, for break
fast one morning we had nothing but
cereal and real cream, home-made
sausage, fried potato cakes, steweil
fruit, hot biscuit, two kinds of pre
serves and coffee. The menu for the
next morning, as announced the night
before, was nothing but waffles, and
that's all they had, with the exception
of bacon and eggs and few little side
dishes. We horrified our hostess thnt
morning by eating only 20 waffles. Our
allotment was 87, and she said It wiu
unpatriotic not to clean the platter."
Beautiful Feet In Hartford.
We have observed that a large ma
Jorlty of the men who traverse out
residential streets In this time of anon
and Ice wear overshoes of some kind
and that the large majority of women
do not. Whether It Is woman suffrage
or plain recklessness that accounts for
this difference we cannot say. It can
not be because overshoes are unbe
coming to woman, for those wearing
them look very trim. Hartford dour

METHOD OF BAITING
nnlte In efforts to get rid of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
talned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts,
Co-operatlvo efforts to destroy ruts
have taken various forms In different
localities. In cities, municipal em
ployees have occasionally been set ut
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least teniKirury benefit to
the community. Thus, In 1IHM, at
Folkestone, England, a town of about 1
2ft,0U0 Inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, in three j
days killed 1.015 ruts. j
Side hunls In which rats are the
only animals that count in the con- j
teat buve sometime been organized )
and successfully carried out. At New l
Burlington, 0 a rat hunt took place
some years ago In which each of the
two sides killed over 8,0X10 ruts, the
beaten party serving banquet to i
the winners.
There Is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long In
tervals of Indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering definite period of
effort. Such prizes accomplish moro
than municipal bounties, because they
secure a friendly rivalry which stim
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In Englund and some of Its colonies
contests for prizes have been organ-
IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter Good
Plan Is Outlined.
Exercise Is one of the most Impor
tant factors In the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined In a small lot
do not develop sutiluleut stretch and
frame, points out Ituy Gatewood, In
structor In animal husbandry In the
agricultural college.
"The problem of exercise,", said Mr,
Gatewood, "Is more difficult to solve
In winter than In any other season of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept off the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
"Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on a field
which Is fenced hog tight and which
has not been plunted to any crop. Stalk
fields In which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be
cause hogs are likely to remain In
their sheds too much In the winter
they should feed some distance from
their Bleeping quarters. This forces
them to take a certain amount of ex
ercise." MULCH AS SOIL PROTECTION
Chief Value la In Keeping 8urfaee
From Packing Under Weight of
Snow or Heavy Rain. ,
The mulch is of value chiefly In
protecting the surface Roll, keeping It
from packing under tbe weight of
snows or heavy packing ruins. The
mulch also prevents heaving as a re
sult of thawing and freezing. It pro
tects the crowns and roots, adds fer
tility and sometimes retards budding
out In the spring. This may be de
sirable when there are late frosts.

ordiuary bounties been paid for this
destruction, the tux on the commu

Many orgatiliatlon already formed
should be Interested In destroying

and citizens' associations in towns

of groat importance. Women's mu

State and National Aid.
To secure permanent results any
general enmputgn for the elimination
of ruts must aim at building the ani
mals out of shelter and food. Build
ing reforms depend on municipal ordi
nances nnd legislative enactments.
i ue receni puigue eruuiciiuou worn
of the United States I'ubllc Heulth
Service In San franclsco, Seattle,
New Orleans, nnd at vnrlous places In
Hawaii and Porto Rico required such
ordinances and laws as well as finan
cial aid in prosecuting the work. Tbe
campaign of Danish and Swedish or
ganizations for the destruction of rats
had Die help of governmental appro
priations. The legislatures of Cali
fornia, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii,
have In recent years passed lows or
made appropriations to old in rat rid
dance. It Is probable that well-organized
efforts of communities would
soon win legislative support every
where. Communities should not post
pone efforts, however, while waiting
for legislative co-operation, but should
at once organize and begin repressive
operations. Wherever health Is threat
ened the public health service of tbe
United States can co-operate, and
where crops and other products are
endangered the bureau of biological
survey of the department of agricul
ture Is reedy to assist by advice and
In demonstration of methods.
REPAIR MACHINES IN WINTER
Farmers Should Give Careful Atten
tion to Tools and Implements
for Next Season.
During the winter months farmers
should give careful attention to the
work of repairing all machines which
will be used next season. Also, orders
for repair parts and new machines
should be placed as soon as possible.
This will acquaint manufacturers and
their agents with the demand in differ
ent sections and enable them to make
the beet possible distribution. At the
same time It will eliminate expensive
delays In transportation at the busy
season.
NATURAL FEED FOR POULTRY
Hen Should Receive Grain and Other
Milling Product, Meat Meals
nd Green 8tuff.
The natural food of poultry consists
of grains, Insects, green forage and
grit, and accordingly In domestication
It Is reasonable that tbe hens receive
cereal grains and other milling prod
nets, and such animal feeds as meat
meals and skim milk, and should also
have an abundance) of green feed or
euch substitutes for It aa roots or
teamed clover. Oyster shells, grit and
plenty of fresh water should also be
supplied.
WHEN SOIL IS UNHEALTHFUL
8ometlmes Becomes 8o Saturated
With Droppings That Hens Are
Likely to Contract Disease.
Ground may get so saturated with
the droppings that It becomes un
healthful ; If food Is thrown on the
ground, the flock Is likely to contract
diseases common to filth. Where such
a condition exists, It Is best to remove
a couple of Inches of soil and fill In
with clean sand or coarse gravel.
