MARTIN iueri<raut or Feimentcd Salt Cab* ; ' bage. Doubtless th^re is quite a lot of ce cabbage among ths farmers of, is county that will go to waste! Ty quickly since this rain. These; tuld be utilised to a good advantage; making sauerkraut, a product for hich you will always find a ready ,le besides its being a great addi-' sn to your own table. In many' trta of the country it is a general ilief that only late or fall cabbage | suitable for making sauerkraut, ich, however, is not the case. If operly handled and stored, sauer-' aut of excellent quality can be i oduced from cabbage maturing at ly season of the year. The essen-, al pointfi ^are the use of only maire, sound cabbage, scrupulous eanlinesu throughout the process, id proper care of the surface of the ine after fermentation is complet-, 1. I In making sauerkraut for home ????4U n iMiAAn 1 AnirAO a^ ll^JUOCa, LAIC UUVCi ^XCUU V to VJL , le cabbage should be removed, just i in preparing the head for boiling.! i addition all decayed or bruised aves should be discarded and the >re removed. If an instrument for lis purpose is not available, fit is ivii table to quarter the heads and, ice off the part of core remaining i each quarter. Shred cabbage or| it into this slices with a slaw cutter a large knife. The shredded cabbage should be icked immediately into a perfectly ean, water-tight receptacle,1 such s a cider or wine barrel, keg or ib. Use salt in the proportion of Vz lbs. of salt to each 100 lbs of ireided cabbage. Cover the bot-j im of container with a layer of | ?getables about 1 inch thick and! ?riitkle over this, a little of the salt! o not add too much salt to the! rst layers packed, but try to disibxite it equally among the differ-! it ayer so that the quantity which1 is been weighed out will be suffici-; it for the given quantity of vege-j ibjcs packed. If a little of the salt left over, it can be added to the >p layer, but if more has to be idei* than has been weighed out, le finished product will taste too jlty. Continue adding layers of the atcrial sprinkled with salt until the intiiner is about three-fourths full.' pri ikle the last of the salt on the p layer and spread over it one or 70 thicknesses oij cheesecloth, tuckg them down at the sides. On the oth, place a round piece of board >out 1 inch or more in thickneiss or heavy plate of suitable size. 0^ lis put a clean stone or one or twoi ean bricks. The size of tho weight spends on the quantity of material sing presented. For a 5 gallon keg, weight of 10 lbs. will be sufficient, it if a 'larger barrel is used a hea-j er weight will be needed. The eight added should be sufficient to j [tract the juices, to form a brine, j hich will cover the top in about 24, >urs and sometimes it may be ne-' issary to add more stones after the j' aterial has stood awhile if a brine >es not form. After it is packed, j low the -container to stand in a oderately warm room to ferment, hie salt and pressure of the weight on extract water from the vege-i ,bles and form a brine which coon1 >vers the whole mass. The stone' id board serve to keep the vegeta-; es beneath the surface of the lilid. If the weight is not sufficient >r this purpose, a larger stone orj ore bricks should bp added. As; ie fermentation goes on, bubbles ise to tie surface of the liquid, he rate of fermentation depends incipally upon the temperature, i warm weather, it requires only 8 i 10 days; in cool weather 2 to weeks may be necessary when bubing stops, fermentation is complete. The containers should then be acea in a ceiiar or otner cooi storeiom and'the surface treated to pre-1 ;nt development of a scum of mold.) mold is allowed to grow undis-j rbed, all the acid will eventually' ; destroyed and the fermented pro-| ict will spoil. This scum must be| evented from forming if the pro-J ict is to be kept for a considerable me. Exclusion of air from the sur-' ,ce of the brine will entirely pre-| ;nt its formation. There are three asible methods of accomplishing! is. The first method is to cover the' irface with very hot melted paraf-j i. If the pariffin is sufficie:nt>y hot| make the brine boil when poured ion it, a smooth, even layer will be, rmed before hardening, making a srfectly air-tight seal. Before add-j g paraffin the container should be, t where they will not be disturbed! itil ready for use, as any attempt j mnvo tViom ?i-f+er\u-nrrla mn\r hrpfllr e seal. This is a very economical I i ' ! ' method as the paraffin may be melted strained and re-used. The second method is to pack a barrel or keg as full as possible and replace head. Fill barrel and put on weights, and let stand 48 hours to allow gas to escape. Put head in br.rrel, bore small hole in this and, fill wi+Vi Krir)o Hv HiQ.Qnlvin<y % cup salt in 1 gallon water) so that there is no air space. Allow to stand until fermentation stops, adding more brine at intervals to keep barrel full, when bubbling has stopped, plug the vent tight. Fermneted products put up in this way will keep indefinitely. The third method is to use an oil like Cottonseel oil, which floats on top and effectively prevents air from reaching brine. Cover with oil about Vl inch thick and it will keep them indefinitely. Save your surplus of ^cabbage in this manner. By doing this you will be benefiting your country as well as yourself. Don't forget thfct "drying" is a most economical method for saving the supply. Mary B. Martin. V ' , ; / I SAYS H0T WATER WASHES POISONS FROM THE LIVER Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It, before breakfast. I To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to prevent its sponge-like pores from clogging with indigestible material,- sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician. ' ' If you get headaches, it's your liver If you catch cold' easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad; taste, furred tongue, nasty breath orj stomach becomes rancid, it's your; liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex-j ion, watery eyes all denote liver fancleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and neglected organ of the body. KFeWi know its function or. how to release I the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Moat folks resort to violent, calomel, which is a dangerous, sali-1 vating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumu-l lates in the tissues, also attacks the, bones. |( Every man and woman, sick or, well, should drink each morning be-: fore breakfast, a glass of hot. water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, to wash from the liver j and bowels the previous day's indi-1 gestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening- hte en tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not restrict the diet like calomel,'because it can not salivate, for it is harm-1 less and you can eat anythng after-j wards. It is inexpensive and almost | tasteless, and any pharmacist will) sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day out?Adv.

The 'J1 grain bin might be subdivided into smaller bins. The studs may be set in patent sock- . ets In the concrete floor Instead of /cfM spiked to a sill bolted to1 the foundation. The concrete floor should be five j/{|| inches in thickness. A tile drain placed around the foundation will Apr sure against dampness. ' CALF AFTER SKIM MILK AOE :||| Animal 8hould Bo Kept Gaining From Birth to Maturity?Qlvo Heifers Some Qrftllt. ] The problem of caringfcr the daily ' 0 calf Is by no means solved by the epd -7, of the mild-feeding period. ./Che animal should be kept gaining constantly from birth to maturity If good growth is to be expected. Calves ^re frequently well cared for up to four or five months of age and then given little .attention. If good growth is to be secured, heifers under a year of age require grain In addition to hay or pasSlnce the condition of the heifer at pasture Is not so closely observed as v when in the stall, the heifer beyond the milk-feeding period Is more likely to ^ be neglected during the summer when < on pasture than during the winter months. TIME FOR CUTTING ALFALFA When Plants Turn Yellow It 8hould :iM Be Cut Immediately?Soil May Be'ln Need of Lime. When for any reason alfalfa trims yellow It shotld be cut Immediately and removed from the field. A care- :'*?? ful examination at such a time may ^ Indicate a lack of effective inoculation, ' disease, or the need of lime. Yellow- r;Vi;^ ing sometimes occurs, however, when j.yt all of these conditions are apparently favorable to the growth of the alfalfa.
