bath, as in canning fruits. Select
well developed, fresh nut kernels,
free from bits of shell. Sterilize
half-pint or pint. jars, and allow
them to dry. Fill with the nuts and
partially seal., Place in a hot water
bath that comes up about two
inches on the .side of the jars and
let them remain in it while the
water boils for 30 minutes. Com
plete the sealing and store in a
cool, dark place.
Home Agent Tells How
To Keep Nut Kernels
To preserve nut kernels and keep
them from becoming rancid, can'
them as you would fruits, says Miss.
Ruth Current, state home demon
stration agent at State .college.
They can be kept fresh and tasty
by being placed in an airtight con
tainer in a cool, dry ' place away
from light, she explained.
The container will also protect
the nuts from insects. The flavor
of nuts is largely dependent on the
oils they contain, although in some
kinds of nuts there are also spe
cific flavoring substances. In most
nut kernels the oils readily become
K:iicid .and give the disagreeable
. f vor found in so-called stale nuts..
The vacuum-packed containers in
which nuts are often put up com
mercially help to prevent rancidity,
Miss Current .said.
Kernels of nuts gathered at home
can be packed in jar.s from which
the air is exhausted in . a boiling

MORE CATTLE
Because of increased yields of
hay due to applications of phos
phate and limestone, Mitchell coun
ty farmers are adding additional
cattle. This has been done without
material increase in pasture acreage
as pastures fcfrmerly over-grazed
are now able to carry more animal
units. '

N. C. Farmers Urged
To Raise Work Stock
Commercially-bred horses' and
mules cost more now than at any
time since the World, war, ana
their cost will probably continue to
rise for the next 10 years, says
Fred M. Haig, professor of animal
husbandry at State .college. This is
because the death losses of horses
and mules each year in the United
States is more than one million
head, and for the past five years
the production of colts has been
only 600,000 a year.
In North Carolina the number of
horses and mules has decreased
from 421,000 in 1925 to 370,000 at
the present time. This is a .serious
situation, but there is a solution to
it, Haig .says. His suggestion is
this? -
Estimating the cost of animals at
$200 per head, our farmers must
spend $1,000,000 each year to buy
work stock replacements. This drain
upon the agriculture of the state
can ,be . avoided by raising work
stock on our f arms
Much land has been released
from cultivation by reduction of
acreage heretofore planted in cot
ton and tobacco. This land could
be profitably utilized in the pro
duction of feed crops, for work ani
mals. It requires approximately
four acres to produce the neces
sary feed for a horse or mule for
one year.
The production of one or two
colts on the farm is .strictly a non
cash cost, provided1 the animals are
raised as. a sideline to the general
system of farming. No farmer can
afford to keep mares in idleness
.solely for the production of horse
or mule colts. The mare must be
required to do her share of the
work on the farm and in addition,
produce a colt each year.
STERILITY CURE
The synthesis of alpha tocopherol,
a substance equivalent to Vitamin
.E that has been successful in cur
ing sterility in rats and which, is
declared to have tremendous prac
tical importance in curing sterility
in . farm animals or even humans,
has been accomplished by a group
of Minnesota chemists.
