While a score of deputies hm, armed with 1 shotguns, are continu ing their work of slaughtering every bird and beast, exeept horses, that come within the precincts of hoof and mouth infected farms. Sheriff Ulrich Weisendanger requested th" police of all communities of south ern Westchester county to round up all tramps. These men are blamed . for the spread . of the disease throughout this part of the country ; The danger lies in them sleeping one night in a barn where there art infect ed cattle and carrying th.. ijerms the next night to another farm. An old farmer, on being told that a new railroad was going to ruo right through his barn, exclaimed: "Now; by gum, I guess Til have something to say about that I've got something else to do besides opening and shutting them barn doors every time a - train , cornea along." Selected.' TQiPREPARE AND USE VEGETABLES AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT EX PERTS GIVE RESULTS OF 8TUDY AND EXPERIMENT. SOME PLANTS EATEN RAW Fresh Vegetables an Essential Part of Man's Diet How Waste Can Be Avoided In the Compounding of Salads. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment or Agriculture.) Fresh green vegetables are gener ally relished and form a part of man's diet whenever they can be obtained. Such vegetables may be called salad plants though it is difficult to classify plants according to the uses to which they are put, for almost all are used foi many different purposes. Lettuce, foi example, a vegetable which In this country is most always eaten raw, In Europe is often cooked, and thus it becomes a potherb as well as a salad plant. Water cress, though often used as a salad, is sometimes used simply as a condiment. Peas, beans, potatoes and vegetables such as spinach, which are most commonly served as a "vege table," are often put into salads. In spite of these difficulties in the way of classification, we may include under salad plants those whose leaves and stems are usually eaten raw with a sour dressing, and define a salad as a dish consisting in whole or in part of vegetables, either raw or cooked, mixed with a sour dressing. Salad dressing usually contains a fat as well as an acid. Housekeepers often claim to know and care little about salads, but those who dig wild Jerusalem artichokes In the spring or start the early pepper grass or radish to serve as relishes at the table are providing salads for their families; or again, those who prepare the cold vegetables left at noon, such as "greens," with a dress ing even of salt and vinegar for sup per, make salads. Fresh cucumbers with vinegar or other dressing are sal ads just as much as are the more elab orate dishes. Salad: a Food To Be Eaten With Salt. The derivation of the word salad shows it to mean a food to be eaten with salt. It would be better to keep near to this original meaning rather than to go to the extreme of some housekeepers who. in their search for novelties for their tables, build up salads from strange combinations In ornate forms. The distinctive salad plants are very succulent; that is, they consist mainly of water. Hence, they are es peclally refreshing in warm weather. As a separate course they are a pleas ant contrast to the heavier dishes of a formal meal. They also serve to prevent too great concentration of food, and thus aid In the digestive process. Upon the valuable saline properties of these raw plants we are Just beginning to place a definite value, though evidently these were recognized by the instinct of the peo ple of the far past. Why Dressings Are Used. Fat Is a compact food and, weight for weight, is about two and a quarter times as . valuable as protein or car bohydrate for fuel in the human body. A tablespoonful of oil would go far ther toward supplying energy for keep ing . the human machinery running than a large head of lettuce. Over all the world people have Instinctively added a condensed dressing consisting mainly of oil, bacon fat, or cream to the salad plants bulky with cellular tissue and water, and have eaten such alads with meat and bread supplying protein and carbohydrate, and thus have secured a fairly balanced ration. Modern study of bacteriology Indi cates that pagan and religious cere monies of purification by fire and wa ter had definite value for healthful life la this world. Water cleanses to some extent, but onhy through Intense or long-continued heat Is complete sterili sation and freedom from bacteria and parasites secured. Therefore great are Is needed In the selection and preparation of foods which are not to b subjected to heat. Cress, lettuce, and other salad plants, carelessly cul tivated and handled In the market and halt cleaned In the kitchen, may trans mit disease, as may milk, raw oyster and other animal foods. . The fashion of cutting across a head of lettuce or celery, though It may give eacb person a fair share of the eholoe and less tender portions, can not be recommended, because tt la practically impossible to cleanse the axils of the leaves, the grooves where they Join the stem.

If the plant suf fers very severely from such enemies, it cannot make normal growth, and so i all or parts of it may be inferior. For Instance, green peas or string beans from vines badly attacked by Insects or by some fungous disease do not at tain full perfection. Obviously, leaves ; used as greens are of inferior quality : If worm-eaten. Insect pests and blunt ' diseases can often be controlled by j the use of Insecticides and In similar ! ways.

Salt In the I water will aid in drawing out para- ing all salad plants in running water, especially for the removal of insects from lettuce. After washing several times and removing Imperfections, salad plants may be kept In a cool place like a cellar or refrigerator for TtZrZZXZ:Z ter, wrap the leaves or stalks in a cloth or put in a clean paper bag; this la more effective than keeping During the cleaning process it is advisable to sort out the coarsest por- about April 8 or 10. tlons to add to soup materials; the Tho 0crh,nJ ...:n k next best may not be attractive to The eabtbouud trip will be made serve by themselves, but can be cut over the Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean or shredded for combination with oth- Highway, which extends in almost .T.t.eral8; Tb,Ie best f M a 8tra'6ht "ne from Colorado the heart of the cabbage, celery, or . ... wau lettuce should be served in the least Springs and Manitou through east elaborate way with salt or a simple era Colorado, northern Kansas, '"save Waste in Making Sa.ads. fSS0 m 80(1 India"a Ia" No plan for serving salads should be dlanaPs where It merges With the encouraged which leads to a waste of National Old Trails road; the dis- food material, if it is desired to use tance from Pikes Peak to the Hoosi- salad bowl, any adherina dressing mav afterwards be washed off and the cab- page usea ior a scaiiop or soup, ine outer leaves may be cooked for greens or soup.
