The Cheaper Cats ef Meat. The cheeper cuts from the neck, lower shoulder, lower round, flank and cbuck ribs have nutritive value, but lack In texture and sometime* in flavor. The value of meat mi a food de pend*. chiefly, on two classes of nutrient.: (1) protiena, or those food, which build tissue and re waste; and <*) ftit, one of the great heat producing foods. Both Proteins and fats produce energy, but the proteins are too expensive to feed for energy hence the necessity for a mixed diet, The mineral substance or ash is very essential also, although it is much less in quantity in meats than in green vegetables and ruits, and is a much cheaper form ,of food as we get it from green vegetables, showing again, the wisdom of a mixed diet both from the standpoint of the body and the purse. The chief difference to oe noted between the cheaper and the more expensive cuts is, not so much in their nutritive as in their texture and flavor. All muscles consist of thread ike tubes. These tubes or bund le. of tube- arc held together by connective tissue. In young, ten der animals and in the loin cuts this connective tissue is very easi ?>' handled. On the other hand- the cheaper cuts from the neck, lotyer shoulder, chucks, etc., are very tough, be cause the animal, in grazing, has used these muscles until they have become very tough and the con nective tissue bus become very strong. (b) In the case of a tough cut after the brief exposure to a high temperature to seal the openings to the tubes, the texture is brought up or retained by long, slow cook ing as in simmering, paper-bag and the tireless cooker. In each <*?? the philosophy is the same as the simmering point or cooking at 180-200 F, (c) On the other hand meats cooked at a rapid broiling rate are tough because the action of the boiling water deatroya the texture while the long, slow cooking not only preaervea the texture, but changes the connective tissue into gelatine, or collagen. Other methods of making tough meats tender are (1) grinding, (2) pounding in flour, (3) soaking in vinegar to make soluble the con nective tissue, (4) hanging and freezing to develop the acids in meats. II. When the stock or extract of the meat is of more importance than the meat, put the meat on to cook in cold water. By this means the greater part of the soluble proteins, the minerals and extractives are served in the stock or gravy. Methods of KxUndio* the Flavors. The flavor in meats depends mainly on certain nitrogenous sub stances called extractives and there are various ways of bringing up the flavor. In good cuts direct rays as in broiling retains the flavor. In good cuts little moistur^ as in roasting retains the flavor. In poor cuts browning in flour brings up the flavor. In poor cuts b? addition of vegetable, sauces and condiments the flavor is brought up. In poor cuts long, slow cooking retains the flavor. Rabbit. . Bacon fat, 2 tablespoons. Flour, i cup.

World* Supply of TbWImportaat Plant Food Now Completely Cut oB With the complete embargo which Germany has put against exports of potash the rising hopes of Americaifconsumers have been blasted and has sent prices up to former prohibitive levels of from three to four times normal quota tions. It looked a while back as if America was going to get a- fair stock of potash but now the foreign potash embargo is com plete. The United States consumes 3500 tons of potash salts per day. Up to January 1st. the ? shortagel in this country, due to the war.j was over 375,000 tons, and it is estimated that by May 1st, the shortgsge will have increased to about 725,000 tons. The potash embargo will work a severe hard-1 ship on our fertilizer companies! who have to move on a pre ar-| ranged plan of manufacture. A number of companies announced! months ago, shortly after the wsr started tTiat their Spring fertilizers would contain on the average of 50% of normal potash content.! Now this sudden embargo on pot ash has made these 50% potash! fertilizers appear very attractive. I Reasons for Germany's imposi tion of the potash embargo may be based on several conditions. One theory is, that Germany nrobably l does not care to furnish an im portant plant food to raise grkin crops in the united States to feedl her enemies. This shows, from a I German standpoint, one of the | most reliable from an agricultural point of view, what a "valuable plant food potash is. Jfc From reports received from! fertilizer dealers, potash fertilizers have been advanced in price ten per cent, for example, potash ferti lizer that cost $20.(00 a ton before I the war started now costs $22.00, with the 50% lesser amount of potash, and there is a possibility of still further reduction of the potash content in- the fertilizers containing this important conaj($-1 uent of plant food. * Our leading agficitltbral scien tists advise the use of limes/sk means through which the insoluble potash in the soil -can* b<b Ifcde I soluble and availahle as plantfood. I Almost alt-ebijs contain potash and i most all have enough for present plant requirements. If this valu able store of potash can be liber ated and made available by the application of lime, the average farmer can readily make up the balance of potash needed to insur.e a good growth- of the better, pay I ing crops, which are the grains. The lime should be applied to the soil evenly, with a lime spreader I if possible, and let the harrow fol low shortly after. If the soil should be sour, and a good many I are more or lees from the overuse 1 of vegetable and animal matter, I the lime will, In addition, neutra lize the acidity resulting in a more healthy growth of the plants. 1 , i Hertford Conntj infected With Southern Cattle Tick. Hertford county is infested with the Southern Cattle Tick, against which the State and Federal au thorities are waging a great war. The government has found it necessary to establish a cattle quar antine against all couuties so in fested. Since Hertford county is under quarintine, it is not permis sabl for any cattle to be moved from this couuty into any county that lias been released from quar antine; in other words, to any point beyond tbe quarantine line. The quarantine line in this state has been brought very c'ose to this county. It now follows the east ern borderof Halifax, Edgecombe, Greene, Lenoir and Wayne coun ties. Tbe oountieS of Greene, Le noir, Harnett, Wayne and Cumber land were released from quarantine last December. There are but 28 counties in North Carolina still (Continued 9b page 4.) An Open Letter From Judge Vinborne to His Son Nov in the Legislature. Feb. 13., 1915 Starlet Winbobnk Esq., House of Representative*. Raleigh, N. G. Dear Sow: 1 have just read in the News and Observer of the 13tb a publication that three of fhe State,* Eleemosy nary and Educational Istitutipiis are asking from the legislature $6^2,000 appropriations. The pur poses for which the money is to be used is set out in the publica tion in the next .column. I hope you will strongly oppose such ex cessive and large appropriations at this time. All these comforts, conveniences, luxuries, are of course very desirable, but it would, in my bumble opinion, be unwise ance partake strongly, '.of extraya ganc and of a want of proper con sideration Jfor the people, when every bunneas is depressed, on ac count of the condition of the coun try, due to the European War. When tbe prices of all farm pro ducts are so low, when tbe farmers, merchants, mill and factory men, are struggling for existence. The state's business should be?managed just as the business of a prudent and just man. Would a prudent bus'iiess man in times of financial trouble, low prices and when bank ruptcy is staring many of bis neighbors in tbe face, go in debt to erect lordly mansions, buy blooded horses, and tbe like? Let not the creature aim to live above his creator. Economy should be tbe watch word of tbe legislators. Some men when taken from hum ble life, accustomed to few com forts, and put in office, undergo-a transmutation, and forget tbe people who elevated them to posi tion and become lordly and ex travagant in their notions and ideas. The people all over the country are practicing economy and retrenchment, as they have not done for years. Why not tbe state do the same? OOr people are beayil.v taxed and burdened in these troublesome times, and'their Representatives should realize their cqpditioJt .and tbe perils of the future,, before recklessly increas iffe'tlieir burdens. No one would be glader than I to see all of our state institutions magnificently equiped^and?every comfort'provided, but I would not kill the people or rob them to da if. Be just to tbe institutions and the fame of tbe state, but do the same to tbe oppresaedirfex-payer. lllMttll I see in the paper* that an effort i&4>n foot to abolish the Homestead and Crop Lien Law. I deam it unwise to abolish the homestead exemptions. Men do not need it so much, but it is the chivalry of a law. It is the pro tection of the noble womeiV and children of the land. But if you put iiants on women, and dresses on men. it makes but little differ ence what you do, in any matter. It would be to my interest to have it repealed agd I would favor it if I were to take a selfish view of the question. Cr?? lies law. To repeal this would be a great injuctice to the great mass of our people who are tilling, our soil. To repeal this and retain, the landlord liens, then they would become the slaves of the landlords, who alone could make ? advances with security to the renters and tenants of our lands. It would be a rich mine for the landlords. I do not know your views on these questions.-. I give you my views and hepe you will be care ful and guard the interest of the people the best of your ability which I know you will. Your Fnther, B. B. WinreoMTE.

State Normal and ladu.trial College and State lloapital at Morgan ton, Preaeoted to Appro priation Committee. I V ? One of the moat important meet ings of the appropriations com mittee yet held was that of yester day afternoon, it being a session of the committees of the General As sembly presided over by Senator Gilliam and Representative Roberts, of Buncombe, jointly., The needs and claims for aid of three of the Sute'smost important institutions were presented, these being the State Normal and Indus trial College, Greensboro; thte State Hospital, Morganton, and the School for the FeeOle-Minded, Kiuston. hkssl far rwHr-liiM. Speaker Wooten had charge of the delegation from Kinston and thoM appearing before the com mittee were Dr. C. B. McNairy. the superintendent; Miss Sallie Shaw, the lady principal; Mr. R. E. Austin, of Albemarle; Dr. J. M. Parrott,/ of Kinston, and former Lieutenant Governor W. C. Newland, of Lenoir, all mem bers of the board of trustees. Other Kinstonians here to lend their aid and sympathy were Messrs. W. M. Hayes, D. F. Wooten, Herman H.- Cannady. Mrs. C. B. McNairy, and Mayor Fred Sutton. The claims of the institution, the State youngest child along this line, were ably presented by the superintendent, the trustees and Miss Shaw, tne paper' or the latter being especially well prepared and exceedingly interesting. The com mittee seemed deeply touched by the appeal made by Miss Shaw in behalf of the State's unfortunate oi?es and as Senator Gilliam so aptly expressed it '"there is some division among us as to whether the women should be allowed to rote but there is no division when it comes to allowing them to con secrate Jheir lives to the service of humanity."

W. Hinsbaw. Winston Salem, former Judge J. D. Murphy, Ashevillo and Mr. T. B. Baily, Mocksville, members of the board of directors. All these gentlemen addressed the committee briefly. The college is asking for an ap propriation of $110,000 for main tenance for the next two years and in addition to this an appropriation of $15,000 to pay a debt incurred for buildings and improvement. Iu addition to this the college is asking for an appropriation of $50,000 to complete the Mclver building and to provide additional dormitory room. In making this request President Foust states as follows: Irhtr ?(??rial lilhiig.
