BUSY BEES CAN HELP YOU SAVE SUGAR ' v J ""O it w - Is) J!,l GET LARGE-PRODUCING COWS Purifcred Bull and Only Best Heifers From Best Cows Should Be Chosen for the Dairy Herd. Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Breeding furnishes the most econom ical way to obtain largo-producing cows. The purebred bull, with genera tions of high-producing ancestors back of him, must fce used for breeding, and only the best heifers from the best cows should be chosen to be the dams of the next generation. Pure breed ing alone tWx not ui:;'.o a ;;:h! sire. The purebred sire hould come from a Jons lit'? c Y.'-lvrruetr.s r.:vo-tors. If an old bull is selected he should have lilgh-producing daughters. Two courses are 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 The Tried and Proven Bull Is the Best Investment. the buyer 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 larger producers than their dams, he has improved the herd. Many good bulls, however, are sacrificed be fore their worth oon be determined, ! which means the continual use of j joung bulls whose real value is not j known. The sire should be kept un- j , til his daughters have s-iniwn hi.? worth, ! and if he is a hx-rd improver he should be ktpt in the community as long as ie is useful. j The owner of a large herd of cows can well afford to own a first-class j bull, and the bull association has now made it possible for ihe owner of a I small herd to own a share in a cood, ' well-bre" bull. A co-operative bull as- ! sociation is a farmers' organization whose chief purpose is the joint own- j ership. use and exchange of high-class, i Tiure-hred bulls. If skilluillv man- i aged these associations should be event ually the greatest single factor in the upbuilding of our dairy herds. The typical co-operative bull association is composed of from 15 to 30 farmers. It jointly owns five bulls, and divides Its territory into five breeding blocks, to each of which one bull is assigned. As many as 50 or CO cows may belong to the farmers in each block, and the bull should be kept at some farm con veniently situated. The blocks are numbered from one to five and to pre vent inbreeding each bull is moved to the next block every two years. If all the bulls live and If all are kept un til each has made one complete circuit, no new bulls need be purchased for ten years. In that way, paying only a small part of the purchase price of one bull, each member of the associa tion has the use of good, purebred bulls for many years. In one association having more than 100 members the original cost to each was only $2.'i. In another association of fiO members the average investment was $25. It is possible for each association to con tinue for ten years or more without other additional cost than the main tenance of the bull3. Most of the milk in the United States is produced in small herds con taining four or five cows. Purebred bulls are comparatively few in num ber, and expensive. It is, therefore, impossible fcr each dairyman with a small herd to own a purebred bull. Be cause of the expense it would also be Impracticable to buy such a bull for a small herd. It would further be un economical to limit the use of a good bull to a few cows, when his use could be extended to a greater number of cows. If purebred bulls could be used in all the grade herds, lp a singly gen eration all the offspring would be at least half purebred and would show immense Improvement. By means of the bull associations It Is possible for small herds to have the advantage of good purebred bulls at the minimum of cost. Three Storehouses That Will Help USE MORE HONEY IN YOUR COOKING One of Best Substitutes for Sugar to Be Found on Any Farm Is in Apiary. SEVERAL RECIPES ARE GIVEN Little Bee Makes It Possible for One o Indulge in Sweets Without Trou bling Conscience Useful ' In Preserves. Tf you keep bees, count yourself for tunate in these days of sugar strin gency. The bees can provide you with one of the best of the sugar substi tutes, and will make it possible for you to indulge your taste for sweets without hurting your conscience. With honey to supplement the limited sugar supply, the two pounds per person per month becomes a liberal allowance. Not only is the honey useful to eat as such, either strained, in the comb, Dr candied, but it lends itself to vari ous combinations that make it practi cable to use in place of sugar. Baked fruit, such as whole apples with the cores removed ; baked whole peaches, or cooked dried fruit are very good sweetened with honey in place of sugar. Preserves or marmalades may also be made with honey. Apple or pear preserves made by the following recipe are very good : Honey Preserves. 2 quarts r.pnles or 1 ter-.ppoonful rin- peara cut into nrirr.on smp.ll piocea 1 cupful vinegar 2 cupfuls honey ITeat the honey, vinegar, and cinna mon together and cook the pieces of fruit a few at a time in the si up until they become transparent. Pour over all the sirup which remains after all the fruit is cooked. Honey may also be used in cake making or for sweetening ice cream, custards or puddings, and in cake and rookie making. In substituting honey for sugar you will get good results if you will follow your old recipes, sub stituting a cupful of honey for a cup ful of sugar and using one-fourth less of whatever liquid the recipe requires. Soft Honey Custard. 2 cupfuls milk 1-3 cupful honey S egg yolks Va teaspoonful salt Mix the honey, eggs and salt. Scald the milk and pour It over the eggs. Cook in a double boiler until the mix ture thickens. This custard Is suitable for use in Dlace of cream or gelatin desserts or to be poured over sliced oranges or stewed fruit. Here are some cakes and cookies making use of honey for sweetening that have been tested and found good. Some soda is added in most cases be cause of the slight acidity of honey. Soft Honey Cake.

DEMAND FOR HONEY g The present honey crop of the United States barely exceeds 2.-0,000,000 pounds. That the country produces even this much is unknown to most people, it is stated; for while honey was the chief form of sugar used in an cient times, the ease of getting cane or beet sugar has placed honey in the background. Now that our sugaV supply is reduced by reason of supplying the al lies with part of the sugar they need, the demand for honey has increased not only domestically but also for export. : ! ; : ; ' $ : ; & 'ft.

When the first hard frost leaves you with a large supply of green tomatoes on hand you will make some of them into pickle but do you know how good they are to tiso as a vegetable? They are very good sliced and fried. Slice in one-half inch slices, sprinklo with salt and fry until tender in a lit tle fat. If you wish them browned, dip the slices in flour or bread crumbs or first dip in eggs and then in crumbs be fore frying. If you are fond of fried apple and onions, you will also like the follow ing. Slice onion and green toma toes and fry together. Serve at din ner or as a relish for supper. They are very good, too, stewed much as you stew the ripe ones.

Make cream sauce of butter and flour, to which is added milk, salt and pepper. Add pulp to which soda has been added. Allow to cook ten minutes in doable boiler. Cottage Cheese With Fruit3. At this season of the year when the supply of fruits is at Its highest and large quantities have been made into preserves, the combined use of pre served fruits and cottage cheese as a food-saving system should not be over looked. The United States depart ment of agriculture points out that cottage cheese with fruit preserves, such ns strawberries, figs or cherries poured over it, and served with bread or crackers, makes a most appetizing and sustaining dish. If preferred, cot tage cheese balls may be served sep arately or eaten with the preserves. A more attractive dish may be made by dropping a bit of Jelly Into a nest of the cottage cheese. RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF COLT Practical Suggestions for Feeding and Care During Early Life How to Promote Growth. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) Colls should be housed in dry, sani tary quarters, which give fairly warm protection from winds. Where sev eral of the animals are kept togeth er it is important to make provision for the weaker ones and see that they are not driven away from their feed by the stronger animals. The quarters should be kept clean and well bedded and occasionally should be disinfected. Lice are to be suspected when the animals get to rubbing and lose patches of hair. Thorough washing with the proper solutions of coal-tar disinfectants will kill lice. It costs money to feed lice, consequently efforts should be made to keep them down. The foals should be out in the open every day that Is not stormy; it is harmful, however, for them to remain out in a cold rain. The foal should be taught to lead and to stand tied during the first winter. Feeds . that will promote growth should be supplied. Good, clean clover hay is palatable and slightly laxative. Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well cured alfalfa hay free from dust in one of the best roughages for growing, but because of its relatively high pro ; tein content it generally is economical : to supplement it with other roughage ! such as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder. Besides lending variety to the ration such a method of feeding alfalfa would offset any likelihood of kidney or bowel irregularities. Sheaf oats can be used to advantage to sup plement other roughage. The animals ! should not be allowed to gorge them ! selves on dry feed. They should be given only what they will clean up readily, but at the same time enough feed should be supplied. Oats, corn, and peas, preferably fed f round, are suitable grains. Bran, oil meal, or ! gluten feed will add protein and lend variety. Cottonseed meal should not be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra- i A Standard Ered at a Government Remount Station. tions for the first winter are:- Two parts corn, five parts oats, three parts bran, and one part oil meal; or four parts oats, one part corn, and one part bran. Silage should not be fed to foals to any considerable extent. Sliced roots, such as carrots and sugar beets, are very palatable and have a cooling ef fect on the digestive system. The quantity of feed generally should be regulated by the appetite, although occasionally the appetite may be too ravenous to be a good indication. The general condition of the colt and the droppings should be observed daily. Usually not over one pound of grain per 100 pounds of live weight should be fed until the animal is two years old. A liberal supply of salt and good water and plenty of fresh air and exercise are essential for the proper development of young horses. Idleness succeeding exercise will cause constipation. It is often said that a horse is made during his first winter. Certainly this is a critical time in the animal's life, and at no other age will proper feed and attention do so much to make of him a good horse. If stunted during the first winter he never will gain proper size and shape. Foals should be changed from dry feed to pasture graduully ana should not be turned on pasture until the grass is old enough not to become washy. Grass Is an indispensable fac tor in the economical and proper phys iological development of young horses. During the second winter the feed and management should be nearly the same as for the first winter, except ! that the quantity of feed should be Increased somewhat, the colt tied up in his stall, and handled frequently. Education by gentle and careful but firm handling at this age will save later much strenuous labor. The succeeding years are largely a repetition of those already discussed so far as feed and management are concerned, although the quantity of feed must be gradually Increased as the animal grows. The prime general essentials for the proper develop ment of horses from the yearling stage until they are put to work are : Fresh air, pure water, plenty of exercise, nutritious, palatable feed in sufficient quantity, and shelter from storms. J WINS COURT VERDIC1 Affidavits Reveal Complications Aris. j lng Out of Seizure of Yucatan I Treasury Governor Flees With Cash. New York. The story of the man ner in which a receipt for $00,000 in gold alleged to Lave been given by the erstwhile Governor Argumedo of Yu catan in that country to Thomas J. Nicholas and (jus Ladner, two New York engineers, was forged over an electric light in an apartment in this city, is told in aftldavits filed in the supreme court. The statement re veals allegations that the signature of Governor Argumedo was forged by Eu gene K. MacEncroe at the request of Nicholas, and was done by placing a slab of glass over strong electric lights on which was laid a military commis sion bearing the real signature of Ar gumedo. This alleged forged signa ture won a verdict for $22,000 for Nich olas from a jury In the supreme court. Forced to Flee. Nicholas and Ladner were engaged in engineering work in Yucatan at the time Governor Argumedo set up an In dependent government, after which he was forced to flee from a Carranzista army and took most of the Yucatan treasury with him. The two engineers followed Argumedo to New York and in time sued him here for $G0,000, al leging that they aided him in his es cape because he had their cash with him and had agreed to bring it safely to this city. They said that when they demanded payment' here Argumedo in sisted that the money was his own. The state of Yucatan also claimed all the Argumedo cash, and finally became chief defendant in the suits. Nicholas had obtained a judgment for $22,000 and the state of Yucatan was appealing, and the Ladner case was pending trial when, according to the affidavits in the supreme court, Mrs. Anita M. Tappan became a figure in the case. She called on Nelson S. Spencer, counsel for the state of Yu- Was Forged Over an Electric Light, catan, and offered to sell information to the effect that Nicholas and Ladner had "framed" the claim for $00,000 and had employed forgery to sustain their daim. She called later on Samuel Brand, a lawyer at 253 Broadway, and told the same story, declaring that Mr. Spencer had told her he would pay her $10,000 if her story proved to be true. She alleges now that she retained Brand to represent her as her counsel. Confesses Forgery. Mr. Brand, who denies that Mrs. Tappan was his client, says that to convince him that her story was true she brought MacEncroe to his office and both stated that they had heard Nicholas and Ladner admit that Argu medo never had any money belonging to them. MacEncroe remained In Brand's office after Mrs. Tappan had gone, and on Mr. Brand's promise to say nothing to Mrs. Tappan about what he would tell, he made the alleged con fession of forging the Argumedo sig nature. Lawyer Brand then went to Mr. Spencer with this information and got an agreement signed by which he was to receive $10,000 if he obtained re leases from Nicholas and Ladner of their claims. Lawyer Brand then took the case to the district attorney, and Nicholas and Ladner were indicted on October 9 last. They were arrested on October 7, and were questioned for four hours at the district attorney's office, and in the meantime their apartment was ran sacked, but the alleged forged receipt was not found. Brand said he then learned that Mrs. Tappan was "getting ready to sell ns out," and a detective was sent to ar rest her as a material witness and to take her to the House of Detention. On that morning Nicholas and Ladner signed general releases to the state of Yucatan on promises of Immunity, af ter the district attorney had decided that the case was weak, because of the (allure to find the forged receipt.
