These ago...3 assist the farm faen in lueir tcrri'orv in much the In^ way that their men colleagues siSt the farmers. The work of the >men has, however, been more rently inaugurated and is not, thereto, so well known. At fltfrst these women devoted them Ives largely to the formation and pcrvision of canning clubs. Now, wever, much of their time is spent home demonstration work with the others as well as with the girls. The j>pcrtunities that this field offers are jUstrated by the recent meetings of ^jYirginia home demonstration club Hi' c^jb wn organized in June, with members, which grew almost at ^Hu*e to a membership of 25.

These demonstrators agree to adopt some household improvements and to furnish in this way an object lesson to ttheir neighbors, or they agree to carry on certain demonstrations under the supervision of the county agents. Some very successful demonstratiens have been made in cooking, in improving sanitary conditions, in winter gardening, in poultry work, and in home dairying. In addition, they agree to report to the county agents at the end of the year the remits which they have obtained. These practical object lessons are most efficient ways of arousing interest and carrying conviction. A Georgia woman, for example, who had been . hown the Muse of the milk separator and better methods of butter making, wrote recently that some of her neigh bors came for miles to see her churn. The fact, she said, that she was Retting oO cents a pound for her butter instead of 20 cents had done a great deal in making* her neighbors want to learn to make better butter. The use of the thermometer, in particular, attracted their attention. Before seeing it in operation they had not considered the importance of having* the ream at the right temperature. Incidentally, this woman wrote that her husband was taking much interest in the work and was planning how to fix the barn and feed room in order to aid his wife in her butter making. The work has been in existence for about five years. It began with the organization of girls' clubs, however, while important in themselves, were from another standpoint vegardod as a stepping* stone to further home demonstration work for the farm wo men. At the beginning of tlio movement one of the founders wrote: "The direct object is to tench some one simple4 straightforward lesson to the girls ?m the farm which will open the way to their confidence and that of their mothers, and which will, at the same time, open their eyes to the possibilities of adding to the family income through simple work in and about the home." o NOTICE.

This division is like that of cattle into beef and dairy types, and of horses into light and heavy classes. In the egg breeds of poultry the primary requirement is the produc tion of a great number of eggs of standard si/e. The fowls are not expee ted to be prime table specimens, but they must lay throughout the year, except when they have to rest and recuperate. They do not sit and ' hatch chickens and they lay white! shelled eggs. The more popular egg breeds are Leghorns, Minorcas, Anconns and Cain pines. The most popular variety of these breeds is the Single Comb White Leghorn, j All large egg farms are stocked | with Wiiite Leghorn pullets and hens, j because it is possible to obtain breeding stock in this variety that has blood lines of heavy egg production behind it. Pullets from a heavy* laying strain are better layers than pullets of no special breeding. EGG TYP/S LAWHITE ECJCg HCH-^lTVriO | \ %>r ) i \' // \ How can one detect heavy laying characteristics in a mature pullet or lien? Notice the illustration of the egg type hen. Note how her body resembles the wedge shape of the -dairy cow. Narrow and trim at her neck and wide and deep at the rear, she has the greater p&Tt of her body hehind her legs. A good layer has a large, soft, flexible rear end, dropping down between ber legs and so (wide that the lojps are set far apart to - - I accommodate it. The rear end ol' the ; lien corresponds to the udder of the j dairy r*o\v and must he largie and yield* 1 ing, not small otiul hard. COTTON IS ABOLISHED I jIN MAKING GUNPOWDER | " Germany Has Used None for Past Eight Months It Seems-' l / | Germany's experiments with aubsti! tutes for cotton in malting gunpowder i have be?n s?o sucee.ssftil that for eight I montns no cotton has Peen used. This statement was made by the president of the firemen chamber of commerce to a convention of merchants. "I have had the opportunity to esj tablish officially that for eight . months not a kilogram of cotton has been used for making powder," he said. "Thanks to German .science and industry, we have succeeded in winl ning from the immeasurable supply of German forests a cellular material I which is cheaper and better suited for ; powder making than cotton. Even after the war German ammunition factories will not buy another bale of cot ton from America. "The second important ingredient? saltpeter?is now manufactured exclusively in Germany from the air. Our factories already are so advanced that in the spring they will be able to cover the eiltirn rpnnirnwuU' r*\.. : v . v,?p?.? % illllVil 1V/I 111j trog'on, and if the war lasts longer : they will oven be able to export this product." j The speaker also asserted that camphor, for seven years produced synthetically from American turpentine, is now obtained by chemical means from synthtic turpentine.

I A simple test of a good layer is to measure the distauce Irom the two pelvic bones (one on each side of the vent) to the rear end of the breasthone. This distance should be as wide as four fingers when the hen is laying. When tlie hen has this depth and is also wide across her rear it proves that she has an abundance of room to manufacture eggs constantly and particularly the egg shells, which uro , formed in this part cf her body. Such a hen will lay well when properly cared for. ' lions with a small distance between the pelvic hones and rear of breastbone and tight or unyielding rear bodyare not good layers. Put bands on the legs of your layers and note how many consecutive days they lay without resting. That will show how long each hen can maintain her egg flow an dthe better layers are those which can continue laying for longer periods.

J , The danger is greatest at this season < of the year when many people pre- i pare for home consumption various" : food products that are customarily 1 eaten without cooking.

The disease known as trichinosis, J which may result from eating r;nv pork, is caused by certain roundworms, called trichinae. These are microscopic in size and infest the flesh of hogs. The prevalence of trichinae in hogs is indicated by the fact that during nine years, 1 SOS-100(5, when the carcasses of hogs were in spectod microscopically by Federal in mecti s, of 8,000,000 carcasses so inspected 1.41 per cent contained living trichinae and 1.10 per cent contained trichinalike bodies or disintegrating trichinae. In other words, and ir. round numbers, trichinae were present . in 1 out of 71 hogs, and, if the presl once of dead trichinae and thichinalike bodies is included, in 1 out of evty 09 hogs. Unlike many other infectious diseases, the severity of an attack of trichinosis depends upon the number of narnsit"o? 11.-,%i ? , - ....

If severe illness follows I th eating of a small amount of the . meat, the pork must have been heavily infested. Sources of Infection. In about 1,200 American cases of trichinosis the most frequent sources of infection reported were? raw sau. sage, 22b cases; raw ham, 213; - raw pork (kind of product not specified), 18b. The most serious outbreak of trichinosis in the United States in the number of persons affected was that of November-December, 1911, in California, in which 58 cases, with 1 death, resulted from summer sausage made by a farmer and peddled by him ] in the neighborhood. Another outbreak occurred in Wis- 1 cousin about a year ago, in which 21 cases, resulting in 3 deaths, developed j in f> families. Early in December a hog' which had been on the farm of 1 the first family for three years was slaughtered and part of the meat made into sausage. The next day some of the sausage was fried slightly and eaten. Two of the members of this family died. There were eight cass in three other families which pro . curd some of the sausage immediately J ^ after it was nrpn:n'r..i .??wi -. ? r. v .i i?1111 tn.i" ii i ii\\ ; or imperfectly cooked. j How to Avoid Trichinosis. j j To avoid trichinosis, no form .of pork in iho raw state, including dried 1 or smoked sausages and hams, should t he eaten. All pork used as food r should he cooked thoroughly. If this c is done the value or wholesomenoss of c the meat for food purposes is not im- r paired hy the fact that the parasites r were present. a According to specialists of the do ,e parlmcntf, trichinae die when subject- t ed to a temperature of about 140 do- f grees K. All n products- 3 containing s pork'which are prepared to. bo sold its f cooked* products in establishments r operating under - Federal inspection are required to be cooked sufficiently -t to insure a temperature high enough t to destroy trichinae throughout alUc portions of the meat. Likewise, in or- t dor to protect consumers who are c THREE BOY- ED CONDEMS AMERICAN PRESS Thinks Government Will Have to Curb It in SelfDefcnse. i V ' DOLONEL HOUSE SAILS !
