in the schools:
Housewives often wonder how
they can cut down the prices in their
meat bill. This can be solved by
knowledge of the different cuts of
meat and their uses. gSome cuts are
tough, but If they are cooked prop
erly they become tender as the high
er priced and originally tender cuts
of meat. The saving housewife cn
buy these cheaper cuts and cook
them properly, getting the same re
sults, saving one-half on their meat
bill.
Many times when the housekeeper
Is shopping and doesn't know the
difference between cuts of meat,
they buy a poor, tough cut at a very
high price. If she didn't cook it
properly she would wonder why it
had a different flavor and wasn't
as tender.

GOOD FUTURE oiti.ook
FOR NORTHWEST DAIRYING
In a statement recently issued by
a representative of the Washington
Extension Department, figures given
show that the average hay price for
the last seven years from December
to July have averaged about $25.50
per ton. Prices being asked for hay
this season are much below this fig
ure. It may be of some interest to note
that prices quoted at terminal mar
kets this season for lui In (lie North
west are lower than unv other sim
ilar markets anywhere in the Unit
ed States, as shown by "Price Cur
rent Grain Iteportre" for December'
llth,
Germany. A careful study of the
above figures will assure the most
conservative that the dairy industry
has a real future for the whole Unit
ed States.
Conservative business men predict
an increase of 50 per cent In the
population of Oregon and Washing
ton In the next thirty years. If
dairying has a future in the United
States, it certainly has a wonderful
opportunity In the Northwest.

ICE
"I'll bet the ice is fine," said Bob,
While putting on one skate.
"I fear it is too thin," said Mac
"And will not hold my weight."
Soon Bob was skating gracefully,
Artistically and neat.
He cut his name as he swung around
And easily jumped six feet.
He spun in circles, danced a jig,
And went through many a trick.
He whirled around upon his heel,
And twirled his hockey stick.
"Hurrah! the ice is strong and slick.
It holds me up," he said.
But just then Mac's feet felt the ice
And crash -he bumped his head.
Said Mac, while rubbing injured
parts,
"It may hold you up pard.
But as for me it certainly
Pulls downward mighty hard."

Error in Dairy Ration
In the O. A. C. dairy ration story
last week a typographical error gave
the amount of feed to each cow per
day as one pound for each 1
pounds of milk produced, when it
should have been one pound of feed
for each 3 V2 to 4 poands of milk.
The grain ration is made up of 300
pounds each of barley, oats and mill
run, and 100 pounds of a high pro
tein concentrate such as linseed oil
meal, cottonseed meal or cocoanut
meal. All the legume hay and silage
the animal will eat is allowed, and
if kale is available it may be added
with excellent results.
In the study of the effects of hot
water sterilisation on teat-cup rub
bers of milking machines, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
found that the life of these rubbers
when regularly sterilized by this
method varied from 6 to 17 weeks.
It was also found that hot water
gave better results in reducing the
number of bacteria than did the use
of either chlorin solution or salt and
chlorin solution. The Bureau of
Standards, cooperating with the
United States Department of Agri-N
culture, found that it is very impor
tant that these teat-cup rubbers be
made of so-called pure gum com
pound, and that they should be thor
oughly cleaned before sterilization,
as a lit'le butter fat remaining on
them has a destructive effect in con
ned ion with the heat.
