The scraps are then sent to mnrket for use In the manufacture of composition belting. Recently 15 tnent grinders for pre paring meat for cooking were con demned nnd Bent to the reclamation department to be sold for junk. In stead, the parts were separated, reas sembled nnd five good grinders obtain ed, while the remaining parts were stored for repairing other grinders. Broken pnrts were sold for Junk. Wagons, automobiles, tank wagons, soup kitchens and every other kind of field equipment Is received by this de partment. Wagonmakers replace worn pnrts of transport and ammunition u-nirfinR with new ones. All automo bile parts nre classified and a crew of garage men repnir the cars as they come to the shops.

Pure Iireeil- Inj? alone does not make a good sire. the purebred sire should come from a lonir line of hlLdi-tiroilnelni? iinfpstors. If an old bull is selected he should have high-producing daughters. Two courses arc open to the dairyman when buy ing a herd bull; he can purchase a young bull from a good, milk-producing stock, or he can purchase an old and tried bull. In either case the bull should be healthy and from a herd free from disease; he should have a good constitution and be of good con formation. In selecting a young bull X k I ,r.,.. . ;- mm. ".

The Tried and Proven Bull Is the Beat Investment. the hnver should choose one whose fe male ancestors have uniformly high records of production, since this indi cates that high production is a fixed characteristic of the family. Careful attention should be given to the record of the young bull's dam, and after that to the daughters of his sire. The rec ords of closely related animals are of far more Importance than the fact that the pedigree may Include, three or four generations back, some excep tionally high-priced animals. The tried and proven bull is the best investment. When a bull's daugh ters are lareer producers than their dams, he has improved the herd. Many good bulls, however, are sacrmceu De fore their worth can be determined, which means the continual use of young bulls whose real value Is not known. The sire should be kept un til his daughters have shown his worth, and if he is a herd improver he should be kept in the community as long as he is useful. The owner of a large herd of cows nnn troii nfford to own a first-class bull, and the bull association has now made It possible for tne owner w n smnll herd to own a share in a good, well-bred bull.

"Once started in pursuit of nature lore, we nre pretty sure to Keep on, says John Burroughs In the Century Magazine. "When people ask me, 'How shall we teach our children to love nature?' I reply : 'Do not try to teach them at all. Just turn them loose ln the country and trust to luck.' It ls time enough to answer children's questions when they are interested enough to ask them. Knowledge with out love does not stick ; but If love comes first, knowledge Is pretty sure th follow. I do not know how I first cot mv own love for nature, but I sup nose it was because I was born and passed my youth on the farm, and re acted spontaneously to the natural ob 1erts nhnut. me. I felt a certain pri uinshin with the woods and ' ' J 1 fields and streams long before the nat uralist awoke to self-consciousness within me. A feeling of companion ship, with nature came long prior to anv conscious desire for accurate and RneHfle knowledce about her works. I loved the flowers and the wild crea hires, as most healthy children do, long before I knew there was such a study as botany or natural history. And when I take a walk now. thoughts of natural history play only a secondary part ; I suspect it is more to batne tne snirlt in natural influences than to store the mind with natural facts. I think I know what Emerson means when he savs in his journal that a walk In the woods is one of the secrets for dodging old age."

No work can be well done Dy anyone who is unwilling to sacrifice ease to Its accomplishment. Save Suaar Refnre the war Germany, Austria- Hungary and Russia produced 57 per cent of the total supply ot neet sugar, nhont one-third of the entire sugar supply of the world. With the with drawal of suear exports of these heav ily producing countries it is easy to see why the allies' suppiy oi sugui hoc ohmnir. The one thine we can do in this country Is to Increase our production and decrease our consump tion, to change our sugar habits until the wnr is over. Tn nractically all dishes requiring sugar some other sweetening may be substituted. The sweetening power or si rims varies somewhat, so that win have to be taken into account. Honey is about as sweet as sugar, but when it ls used the liquid in the dish win neert to he decreased. Maple sirup is sweeter than sugar and corn sirup less sweet. When substituting sirups lor sugar decrease the liquid one-fourth. Dried fruits of various Kinds, wnen added to any cereal or pudding ue crease the amount of sweetening needed. - Coconut Drop Cookies, rvontn n hnif cunful of fat, add one nunfiii of corn slruD. a fourth of a snirrfni of sour milk with a fourth of a teaspoonful of soda added, a third of of a teaspoonful of salt, one cupim vi buckwheat flour, one-half cupful of corn flour, a third of a cuprui oi co conut, a teaspoonful of vanilla, ana a teaspoonful of baking powder sifted with the flours.

Roll, cut and bake in a moderate oven. Maple sirup cooked with a cupful of sour cream until waxy, and added to half cupful of broken nut meats, hick ory, walnut,, butternut or pecans, Is a delicious filling for cake. If frosting is desired boil the maple sirup and pour over the beaten white of the egg,, beating mjtil thick before placing on the cake. XT Packers' Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this pur pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class 1 includes such products as beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that are essentially animal , . products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these departments, (including sur plus and borrowed money), or not to exceed two and a half cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, ' fertilizer, and other departments-! more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these de partments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. . Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guar antee a reasonable relatibn between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer's profit can not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1 ) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. - Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations.
