"We may live without Poetry,
music and rt,
We may live without conscience
nd live without heart.
We may live without friends, we
nay live without booki,
But civilised man cannot live
without cooks."
Home Economic in the public
schools ot this nation has come to
Stay. Girls are now being prepared
for life in the home as never before
nd the girls in the C- C. H. S. are
having their opportunity along with
their sisters in other schools.
The cooking class this year num
bers ten, which consists of represen
tatives from the senior and sopho
more classes. The work taken up
has been both interesting and help
ful. Food principles and bodily re
quirements have been studied and
this knowledge applied by prepara
tion of menus and the working out
of receipts. The class has been
trained to be accurate in measure
ments, compute the cost of receipts
nd to know the value to the body ot
the food prepared.
A knowledge of the digestion of
nd absorption of different foods
has been necessary lessons in can
ning, pickling, preserving' and jelly
making were taken during the weeks
ot the early fall.
Special attention has been paid to
lessons on using up left overs and
economy, orderliness, and cleanli
ness are emphasized daily through
out the course.
Trips to the meat market and ba
kery were made which have been
both profitable and enjoyable. Wai
tress lessons, meal preparation and
implified table service have been
taught Banquets have ben served
where the girls have had opportuni
ty to apply the knowledge gained.
As an allied subject housekeeping
nd furnishing have been taken up
to limited extent Some of the
more modern homes of the commun
ity have been visited- The best mag
azines have been studied and house
plans have been drawn by the girls
themselves and helpful discussions
have folowedl.
When the course is completed the
girls will be more fully prepared to
be good cooks and economical home
makers besides earning enough mon
ey In various ways to leave to the
department a set of silver.
During the year thirty-eight girls
have enrolled tor the work In do
mesitc art thirty three in the first
year sewing and five In the second
year work. This year'i class ot
freshmen (Iris have accomplished
far more than the required work.
A number ot the patterns used
have been drafted by the girls them
selves. The commercial pattern has
been studied. Tbey are able to en
large pattern or make large
pattern smaller. Aprons, night
dresses, combination suits, and pet
ticoats have been made by each 1
freshman girl. Each girl has made
one school dress and many ot them j
have made more.
Suitable material color combine'
tions and designs have been made ,
between the appropriate and the un-j
suitable. Samples illustrating dlf-'
frent processes have been made and
mounted In note books. The his-1
tory culture and manufacture of cot- ,
ton, jute, pina and hemp fibers have
been studied and a trip to the home
of Mrs- Dillon, a local carpet weaver
where the different processes In
weaving were explained and illus
trated revealing to the girls the
foundation principled of all textile
manufacture.
The second year girls have taken
up the study of wool and silk fibers
and have made wool dresses, silk
waists and cotton dresses. A num
ber of dresses have been made by
this class for outsiders. A course
in advanced textiles has also been
completed by them.

RELATION OK LIVESTOCK

There Is a close and Important
relation between the production of
sugar beets and the raising ot live
stock, especially cattle and sheep,
according to Farmers' Bulletin 667.
recently rovlaed and republished by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, on Sugar Beet Crowing
under Irrigation. Not only will the
live stock, if properly hnrilled, pro
duce an important part ot the farm
income, but they are essential to soil
Improvement.
The keeping of live stock enables
the beet grower to make the best
possible uso of the beet tops, which,
In connection with roughage, easily
produced, keeps the live stock In
good condition and enables the
farmer to return the mineral ele
ment in the tope to the soil and tn
crease the supply of humus which Is
ot especial Importance In Irrigated
sections. Sheep as well as cattle
thrive on beet tops, but It is wise
to teed them sparingly at first.
In some localities stock Is pastur
ed on the tops after the beet roots
have been removed- This saves
time and labor, but It Is rather wast
eful of the tops and frequently In
jures the ground. It Is usually more
satisfactory to gather and haul the
tops to the feed yard and feed them
from a rack, or they may be used as
silage either In silo or In a trench
4 or 6 feet deep and long and wide
enough to hold the tops and the
roughage necessary to make the silage-
A layer of straw about 6 In
ches deep should be put in the bot
tom of the silo. The beet tops and
straw or other roughage should
then be added In alternate layers,

and firmly packed to prevent spoil
ing. The by-products ot the beet field
snd sugar mill that are ot especial
Importance to the farmers are the
beet tops, pulp, molasses, and the
waste lime. Many farmers sell the
tops for cash, price ranging from
12.60 to 16.00 per sere. This Is ns
usually not the best practice. The
tops are of greater value as stock
feed and contain elements which
should be kept on ths farm. Beet
pulp is likewise an excellent stock
feed and may be used either fresh
as It comes from the mill or dried.
Beet molasses Is the residue after
crystalizable sugar has been remov
ed from the concentrated beet Juice
It may be fed by Itself or mixed with
-i A - 1 V. , .r.al!n It
over the beet pulp, alfalfa, etc., or
drying It with beet pulp. Waste
lime is a by-product of the sugar
mill, which, under certain condition
is of considerable value to the far
mer In correcting the acid condition
of the soil and In making the heavy
soils more friable.
Sugar beets sre grown In 17 tta
tes, In 10 of which the grower de
pend, In whole or In part upon ir
rigation. The succesnful produc
tion of sugar beets under Irrigation
depends not only upon an adequate
supply of Irrigation water, but up
on a suitable system of crop rota
tion, thorough preparation of the
seed bed, careful planting and thin
ning, timely snd thorough cultiva
tion, In addition to a supply ot live
stock which will balance with crop
production. In addition to a suit
able Irrigating system the land
should be provided with satisfac
tory system of drainage; further
more, the soil should be well sup
plied with hnmns.
