"HAULIN' WATER"
An earnest statistician has discovered that the American people trans
port from the producer to the consumer, in the process of distribution of
foodstuffs 2,000,000,000 tons of waber annually.
Aside from the fact that this item constitutes waste at so much per
IK)und paid for the food, there is a considerable freight bill to be added.
From behind the smoke screen of "sanitary" advertisers of small sealed
packages of food at drug prices, be it known that modern methods 6f de
hydration could save this country the interest on its war debt, and add
immeasurably to the harrassed consumer's ability to ,pay his income tax.
Most fruits and vegetables may be dehydrated, packed in lined barrels
in bulk, retaining all the flavor and food value, and sold at a fraction of
the cost of fancy dressed-up packages.
Dehydrated foods keep indefinitely. They may be store din small space,
and their use would enable t/he average consumer to take advantage of
favorable price.
The custom of canning these products with the water has enabled the
ambitious sugar operators to lay the annual tribue or from a few cents to
100 per cent on the price of sugar with the approach of the canning season.
Nature dehydrates her bounty at the close of the growing season, for
winter consumption.
It would seem to be a wise move to get Uncle Sam's latest advice on the
dehydration of foods. We are all fairly well fed up on H20.
CAN MAKE A LAWN IN A FEW WEEKS
A new quick method of establishing stands of sod on lands, and more es
pecially on golf greens where the grass gets severe usage, has been work
ed out by botanists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Bent
grasses, which grow from runners, are principally used in the method. A
quantity of healthy sod is stripped at a depth of approximately 1 1-2 inches
tyhich gathers in most of the grass roots with as little dirt as possible. The
sods are run through a feed cutter which is so arranged as to slit them into
ribbons about two inches wide and the ribbons are shredded by hand, leav
ing a mass of grass roots. These roots are sowed broadcast on the ground,
-which has been carefully prepared by plowing and harrowing; and if a
golf green is desired it is usually covered about an inch deep and rolled.
For ordinary lawns it has been found sufficient to broadcast the sod
shreds and harrow or disc them in. By this method a good stand of sod
has been obtained in as short a time as three weeks. The method has
been used on golf courses throughout the country. A green of the public
golf course in Potomac park, Washington, D. C., prepared in this manner,
is regarded as one of the finest in the country.

HANDY DUST BOX FOR FOWLS
Confined Hens Should Be Given Oppor
tunity for Bathing—It Discour
ages Vermin.
When the flock is confined in laying
houses the hens miss the opportunity
afforded when they are on range to
pick out a likely spot and take a dust
bath. It is just a» important to a hen's
well-being that she be able to take a
dust hath when cooped up as well as
when on range. Besides, it provides
her with the sort of ammunition which
nature intended she should use in com
bnting vermin and natural parasites.
Hens that have ample facilities for
dust baths will not be "carried off" by
lice.
Meet on Common Level.
There is one field In which the wise
than and the fool meet on a common
level. That Is when they fall in love
and take their pens in hand.—Oregon

Testing Oil Quality.
One test to ascertain the quality of
lubricating oil is to heat a small
quantity and hold a flame to the thin
smoke which arises. This smoke will
flash or catch fire for an instant, and
If the oi! is of a good grade will flash
much quicker than a poor grade.
