PHILLIPS * Milk of Magnesia W. N. U, BALTIMORE, NO. 35-1930 No Short Cut in Making Good Hay Side - Delivery Rake Will Improve Quality and Reduce Labor. The worst obstacle to hay making In New York Is the weather, but many farmers beat the weather with modern hay making machinery, ac cording to Professor H. B. Uartwlg of the New York state college of agricul ture. The typical farmer Is afraid of green, sappy hay; so he goes to the extreme of cutlng his clover too late rather than too early. Nutritious Hay Cut Early. The most nutritious hay Is cut earlier than the full bloom stage and thereby retains the green color and the leaves. The color Is needed In hay cot because the color Itself makes meat, wool, and milk, but because of what la normally associated with color, says Professor Hartwlg. The same processes that destroy color In bay are the ones that destroy feeding value. Mold destroys feeding value and color. Wetting In the field and bleaching, with the leaf loss asso ciated with It, also destroy the feed ing value along with the color. Clover leaves make up about 30 per cent of the weight of the hay and con tain nearly half of the nutrients. Any process that shatters leaves lowers the value of the hay when fed, which explains the tendency to use the left hand side delivery rake In place of the old type tedder. The left-hand side delivery rake throws a high propor tion of the leaves to the Inside of the swath where they dry more slowly. It also tends to throw the stems out where the sun can hasten their dry ing. The right-hand rnkc will do Just as good work but requires a little more bother. With It one should cut the hay In lands, start to rake In the center of the land, and rake In the opposite direction of the mower. Lessens Labor. The side-delivery rake does not re duce the time from cutting to storing, but it enables a man to put up more acres with less labor. There Is no short-cut for good curing, Professor, Hartwlg says. No Difficulty to Find Good Market for Apples At this season of the year apple growers are generally very much con cerned about the proper sale or dis posal of their fruit crops. The apple producer who has flue, clean, high quality fruit consisting of standard varieties will have but little. If any, difficulty In finding a profitable market. In fact, such fruit Is always In de mand and buyers vie with each other to obtain such apples. There Is always, however, a larger quantity of what might be called medium to Inferior apples and these are the ones that are the hardest to market. From what has already been said about the apple scab disease and the unfavorable conditions for spray ing, the difficulties of the grower In marketing n low grade of fruit may be somewhat worse this year than usual. No matter what the character of the fruit Is, however. It will usually pay to grade It well and to stick to estab lished grades. There Is always a mar ket for what Is known as cull apples, but the grower may have at least two or even more grades of what Is gen erally termed "culls." For the better culls a higher price may be asked. Designate Two Cows as Champions of Colorado Two pure-bred Jersey dairy cows owned by the Colorado Agricultural college have Just been declared cham pion register of merit cows In their classes for Colorado during 1029, by the American Jersey Cattle club. Certificates to this effect have Just been received by Prof. George E. Mor ton, head of the animal husbandry de partment at the college, from Lewis W. Morley, secretary of the club. One of the cows, Campestral Queen, lias been designated as the champion register of merit cow. class AA, with a record production of 453.20 pounds of butter fat In 803 days. The other. Fox's Leora Dewdrop. haa been declared the champion reg ister of merit cow, class AAA, for the past year, with a record butter fnt production of 394.43 pounds In 234 days. The college dairy herd Is in charge of B. W. Fairbanks, associate pro fessor of animal husbandry. IfannHioj/ Cows milking should be watered at least twice daily at all seasons. ? ? ?

If a marked falling off In milk flow Is allowed, It Is Impossible to folly regain the loss, even with the best of feeding later, and a lowered produc tion results from the balance of the lactation period. ? ? ?

Happiness, Comfort and Sunshine This Home Offers in Abundance I -.uiniiuiiuiyt^w??a mmmm m Happiness, comfort and sunshine. This home will bring it in abundance. It is well designed without a bit of waste space. The cost of this home is surprisingly low. By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A.

On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these sub jects. Address all inquiries to William A.

In many of the smaller towns and on the farm there is a demand for a small home such as shown in the illustration. On larger farms this would make a very excellent tenant house while for the use of those who live in town it is an excellent design for the small lot or for the family of not more than five people. The house Is 24 feet by 24 feet. Its foundation walls are straight, which means economical construction cost. The plain walls of the square house are broken by an unusual roof design. As a matter of fact, the wide dormer ahove at the front and at the back | i TQTGHEN K| n | \0?>-K7&" b4"* DiNINGrRM .

The overhang of the roof and the attractive entrance porch with Storage Type of Water Heater Best for Home The ability to turn a faucet at any hour of the day and night and get all the hot dater necessary Is one of the greatest comforts of present-day American life. How to get hot water in the spring and summer months when the house heating plant is not in operation is a problem that confronts many home owners. Hot water is needed for the family wash, for cleaning and cooking, for shaving, and for a soothing bath. An abundant supply of hot water avail able at all times shortens the house wife's work In the kitchen by hours In a week, by days In a year, and by years in a lifetime. The demand today Is not merely for ? coil in the house heating plant which will supply hot water when the heeling plant is In operation, but for a dependable nll:the-yenr-around sup ply of hot water. Various types of water heaters are available. Some burn coal, some use oil. but most of them utilize gas as a fuel. A few types of electric water heaters are on the market. There are three general kinds of gas water heaters. The cheapest Is the "side-arm'* type which Is so called because the water Is heated in a copper coll placed at the side of a galvanized iron tank. While the original purchase price for this type of heater Is small, it Is rel atively Inefficient In operation because the uninsulated tank allows the wa ter to cool ofT very quickly. Further more, as the hot water is drawn off. the cold water comes in and cools off the rest of the water and the tank. Another obvious disadvantage of this type of heater is the fact that It !s necessary to light It every time hot water is needed. When the heater Is In the basement, this Is often a seri ous Inconvenience. The two other kinds of pis water heaters are the storage heater and the instantaneous heater. The storage heater Is the type most popular with the average housewife. It Is economical, yet very convenient. Once this type of heater Is Installed, the home-owner need no longer wor ry about bis supply of hot water. When the water in the storage tank Calls below a certain temperature? colonial seats on either side and the trellis over which vines or flowers can be trained are features which will appeal to the prospective home builder. The entrance door leads to a stair hall and at the left is the living room extending most the width of the building. This room is 16 feet by 11 feet 6 inches wide. It is connected I >?t v\ r?ViAiH < 1 BED'EM.

The kitchen is of good size, being 10 feet 9 inches by 7 feet C inches. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, the one at the front of the house being 19 feet 0 inches by 11 feet 0 inches. The one at-the rear is 13 feet 3 Indies long by 11 feet deep. Both rooms have ample closet space in connection with them. At the head of the stairs off the hall in a convenient place is the bathroom. This house is set on a concrete foundation and has a basement of the same size as the house itself. It is of frame construction, the outside walls being covered with ship-lap siding. This home building design will ap peal to those who want a small at tractive home but who do not have a large sum of money to invest. whatever temperature the home-own er desires (usually about 1530 degrees) ?the burner Is automatically lighted from a pilot which burns continu ously. Thus, there Is always a tank full of hot water. The best heaters are well Insulat ed with thick blankets of rock wool, asbestos, hair or cork. The Insula tion Is between the outer Jacket of steel and the inner tank of rust-proof metal. Instantaneous gas heaters have no storage tank. At a turn of a faucet anywhere In the house, n powerful (lame Is lighted in the burner and water Is heated In an elaborate struc ture of copper colls. Hot water pours from the faucet almost In stantly. This type of heater may be used efficiently in a home, apartment, school or hospital where the demand for hot water Is constant. But, If the demand for hot water Is Inter mittent, such as Is usually the case in the average home, this type of heater would prove expensive in op erating cost. Foundation of Home Shows Its Condition Before you buy a house, you should stnrt with the basement and examine the walls for water stains and horizon tal water lines cnused by water seep age or water standing in the basement. The foundation and retaining walls should be Inspected for proper thick ness. A minimum width for main foundation walls below grade for a light frame structure of one or two stories should not be less than 10 inches If of concrete: 13 Inches If of brick or 18 inches for stone. Concrete walls having a sand or clay appearance are dellclent In ce ment, or else are 'constructed of bank sand and gravel containing a large percentage of loam. Snch walls should be examined for sand and loam pock ets which are deterimentnl to the walls' structural strength and permit the entrance of water. The wall plate or mud sill, which lies directly upon the foundations and upon which the floor rests, should be minutely examined for dry rot and decay. This Is generally the first mem ber of a dwelling's superstructure that goes bad. (^kitchen I! UcabinetCj (J?i. 1930. Western Newspaper Union.)

FRUIT DISHES Since science has brought to our kitchens the prepared pectin, which Is 80 easy to use and saves the long cook* flavor, many of the pjy I /fruits such as peaches, pears und Ji 1 berries may now lie ? ? found on our fruit closet slielves to be enjoyed when such fruits are out of season or too ex pensive to be bought. Ripe Pear Jam.?Use only fully rip ened fruit. Peel, core and crush so that every part is reduced to a pulp. Measure four cupfuls of the fruit (two pounds) and seven and one-half cup fuls of sugar to one bottle of pectin. Mix the fruit and sugar and bring to a hard boil for one minute. Remove from the fire and add the pectin, stir and skim by turns for five minutes to cool slightly to prevent the floating of the jam. Pour quickly and cover with i a film of paraffin. This makes about eleven jelly glasses. It sometimes sets slowly. For variety one may add grated lemon rind or spices. Ripe Peach Jam.?Use only fully ripened fruit, do not peel, remove the pits and crush the fruit. Add one half cupful of water, two or three cup fuls of fruit pulp, six and one-half cupfuls of sugar and a bottle of pec tin. Cook the sugar and fruit to a full boil for a half minute. Remove from the fire and let stand one minute, skim, return and simmer five minutes; bring ag.'iin to a boil and add the pectin. Remove from the fire, let stand again a minute, skim and pour into glasses. For the jelly, cook the fruit, drain through jelly bag and to three cupfuls of the juice add two and three-fourths pounds of sugar and one cupful of pectin. Prepare as for pear jam. Dixie Fruit Cup.?Take one can of grapefruit, one cupful of watermelon balls or rubes and a few sprigs of mint. Chill the grapefruit in the can before opening. Pour the grapefruit over the melon and let stand to blend the flavors. Serve in fruit glasses with a sprig of mint. Peach Melba.?Take three large peaches, -peel and halve them. Line sherbet glasses with strips of sponge cake and place a halved peach in each dish with the cut side up. Fill the cavity left with a small ball of vanilla ice cream, cover with heavy cream, one-half cupful to which one-fourth of a cupful of cranberry sauce and a bit of shredded coconut has been added. Another Fruit Cup.?Prepare one medium sized grapefruit or use one half a can, cube two pears, quarter one-fourth of a pound of dates and cut into cubes one-half a canteloupe. Rlend well, adding the dates at the last. Serve very cold. ANOTHER SANDWICH Ever since the nobleman John Mon tagu, fourth earl of Sandwich, called for the double slice of bread with a filling of meat cheese, the sand wich has been a ? J f jl most popular " IJ "Quick lunch." 4^ fr Puree of Sardine Sandwich. ? Drain the oil from a large can of sardines. Remove the skins and bones, rub the fish through a fine sieve and to it add one-fourth of a cupful of creamed but ter, two finely chopped hard cooked eggs, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce to season. Mix thoroughly and spread on sandwich bread that has been spread with mayonnaise. Put together with pairs of the bread spread with the mayonnaise. Cut the sandwiches into three strips, making finger-sized sandwiches^ easy to eat and handle. Melba Sandwich.?Chop the nieut peeled from the pits of three dozen lurge olives. Add one cupful of finely chopper pecan nut meats, moisten with mayonnaise and spread on thin ly sliced graham bread that has been spread with green pepper butter. Green Pepper Butter.?Cut a slice from the stem ends of three or four green peppers, remove the seeds and white fiber and cook until scalded In boiling water. Drain again and rub through a sieve?there should bp two tablespoonfuls of the pulp. Cream one-half cupful of butter and add the pulp gradually, stirring well. Season with salt and cayenne. This butter Is especially good spread over planked fish or steaks. Bacon and Eggs Sandwiches.? Spread thin slices of bread with sal ad dressing to which has been added finely chopped cooked eggs. Cover with thin slices of hot broiled bacon and another slice of bread spread with salad dressing. Ham Sandwiches.?This seems to be the favorite of all meats for sand wich filling. Chop the ham fine with a little of the fat mixed with It. To one cupful packed solidly add pre pared mustard, cayenne. Spread on thin slices of buttered rye bread wldch has been covered with a thin layer of horseradish. Mementoes of American Generosity Still Stand The Messina earthquake of 1908, In which 90,000 people lost their lives, Is probably a hazy meniom to those Americans who donated shiploads of food, clothing and medicine, as well as large sums of money. It may therefore be interesting news to them that their philanthropy lives on after two decades. A new Messina has grown up on the ruins of the old. There are numerous costly public and private buildings, fine apart ment houses and private residences In the new Messina, Sicily's third largest city and a thriving port and railroad center. One whole quarter, however, of Messina is still made up exclusively of wooden houses donated by Americans for temporary shelter. Train Night-FIying Birds A race of night-flying pigeons Is being developed under supervision of the War department. Soon after the World war the United States army signal corps started to develop these birds, realizing that they would be of invaluable service in case of war or In time of great national dis aster, such as floods, cyclones or earthquakes. At the army signal school at Fort Monmouth, N. J., there is now n loft containing only night flying birds. These are the result of careful training of homing pigeons, selection and breeding of tire most Intelligent, the sturdiest and those that had habitually flown in twilight or darkness.' Pictures for Public While the French government Is endeavoring to arouse interest in the natural features and beauties of the country by printing views of the more interesting sights,-the tram way companies are trying to improve the mental equipment of their pas sengers by printing the portraits of celebrated characters of French his tory upon the tickets which are is sued to riders. The faces of Turgot, Lamartine, Micheiet and Victor Hugo are among those appearing upon the tickets, and it is supposed that the passenger will be spurred on to in? proving his mental equipment by contemplating the portraits. Queen's Refuge for Sale The estate of Gadgirth, near Ayr. where Mary Queen of Scots is said to have sought refuge for a night, when fleeing from the battle of I.angside, is being offered for sale. It is one of Scotland's oldest historic properties. For centuries the estate of Gadgirth was the home of the Chalmers, the great chamberlains of Scotland, from whom the famous di \ine, Doctor Chalmers, is said to have claimed descent. John Knox, who was a close friend of the fami ly, dispensed the sacrament there. Mirrors on Golf Club Sir James Henderson, British sci entist, faced with the usual trou bles of the golfer, Invented a club whose head contained two mirrors to aid him in perfecting his form, and the device has proved so successful that It is being placed on the market In England, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. When the head is placed against the ball the mirrors reflect the light from a lamp set beside the ball. Unless the club is In correct position the light is not reflected from both mirrors. To Disperse Mobs With Water Berlin's police department has been equipped with a number of antl-rlot automobiles to dispel unruly crowds. The car is an nrmored water tank on wheels capable of shooting water at tremendous pressure. Each car has a capacity of 5(1 gallons and the tur ret, resembling that on war tanks, is so arranged that water can be thrown in any direction. Simple Matter "Does n dentist have much trouble in collecting his bills?" "No." answered the expert in teeth. "A man usually sees that his last account is paid before he has more work done. He takes no chances on an unfriendly disposition." Different Matter Husband?And what did you pay for that hat? Wife?Nothing. Husband?Well, that is cheap! How did you manage It? Wife?I told tlie milliner to send you the bill.?Dorfbarbier (3erlin). Frank "To what do you attribute your success in the financial world?" asked the cub reporter of the great capi talist. "To the fact the world is full of easy marks and suckers," he snapped. Odd Civil War Currency During the Civil war unused stamps inclosed in metal disks were used for money.
