This Country From Trinidad Not Long Since. < ______ i l The dasheen, a root crop introduced into this country from Trinidad within recent years by the United States Department of Agriculture, is now grown by a considerable number of farmers and truckers in the South.' and promises to become a valuable member of the group of domestic vegetables, such as the potato, which furnish starchy foods. The new ve- j 1-.L1 - _ _1 1_. 1 A - .1 A Al A Kcittuie is cioseiy reiatea 10 me taro, i which is an important factor in the food supply in portions of the Tropics. The dasheen is itself primarily a tropical plant. It can bo grown successfully, however, not only in the warmer portions of Florida but in other sections of the South as far north as South Carolina. The edible portion of the plant includes a large, central corm and a number of ti'.boea*, of: much smaller size, attached to <ajBii , around the corm. The- value of the dasheen,, it is bs* believed, will be as a crop, supplement tal to rather than a substitute for, thai potato. The fact th'at*. the dashfcec* matures in the fall when potatoes must be obtained from northern pro-i during sections should make the new plant especially valuable in the economics of the southern farmer. In food value the dasheen is comparable to the potato though it contains a smaller proportion of water jand a greater proportion of protein,; I starch, and sugar than the latter. i nt- iifw vugt-'uiuic muy DO prepureii for the table as potatoes usually are or may be made into flour and user' in baking. The tender shoots forced from the large corms may be prepared like asparagus, and make a pleasing dish in that form. The dasheen is grown from whole '.ubera weighing a few ounces. They rcqure a frostlesg season of at least seven months, with plenty of moisture. A moist but well-drained, rich, sandy loam has been found to be ? satisfactory soil f*>r dasheen culture k large portion of either clay or nuck in the soil produces strong flavored, tough corms, which often unfit for table use. Large cropire produced wider such conditions however, and make excellent stock 'oed. The crop is planted in February in .outhern Floridfi and as lats as tlm early pail of April in South Caro lina. The plants are spaced aboul 3 1-2 by 3 1-2 feet. Drsheens 4 may I be dug for home use by the middle j of September and the main crop can j he harvested at any time after the I last of October. The clumps of tu bers are left on the surface of thf ground for several days to dry. Tiv tox>s and small roots are then broker off and the dashecns placed in stor age. The dasheen is a good shipper amis handled by the carriers at the same freight rates as potatoes. The vegetable has already found its way into a number of northern markets. o Subscribe to the Herald?$1.00. MUSTANG For Sprains, Lameness, Sores, Cuts, Rheumatism Penetrates and Heals.

' | I Eeat no pork or pork products uncss they are cooked if you would bo ;ertain of avoiding trichinosis. This s a warning issued by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United Stat es Department of Agriculture, especially to those who are in the habit of eating raw ham or special forms of sausage cnotaining raw pork and made to be eaten uncooked. The records show that the number of case of trichinosis?a serious, painful, and often fatal disease resulting from trichinae?increases during the holidays, partly because of hog-killing time and partly because farmer.4 frequently make up special forms of sausage which are eaten without cooking. To avoid trichinosis no form of pork in the raw state, including dried or smoked sausages and hams, should be eaten.* All pork- used as* f<jod should be cooked thoroughly, as trichinae, the< minute organisms, which cause this deadly disease, die*ami therefhjre become harmless whea subjected to a temperature of 14(V degrees F. or higher. The fact' that: these organisms may remain alive and active in uncooked pork makes the latter, say department meat specialists, a meance to life and health wherever it is eaten. Everyone should remember this simple rule of food hygiene; Cook pork well. A practical rule is to cook pork until it has lost its red color throughout all portions, or, if a trace of this color is still present, at least until the fluids of the meat have become more or less ji Hied. The Federal meat inspectors do not inspect pork or pork products t< determine the presence or absence of the organisms causing trichinosis, a? 2Ven careful microsconic examina tion is unreliable. In inspected es Lablishments the inspectors do, how ever, require that pork which is to b< made into products to be eaten raw shall be heated sufficiently or sub jected for considerable periods t? extreme cold to destroy the harmfu' Dvganisms. This requirement doe: not reach all pork products made to be eaten raw, since the Federal Government inspects only establishments preparing products to be ship ped in interstate commrece. It should be noted that the 'special treatment required by the Bureau of Animal Industry to be given to pork products meant to be eaten raw must not be interpreted as van inInrsemcnt of such dietetic practices. The measures are taken 'primarily to reduce the risks taken by persons v\ho ignorantly, carelessly, or wil fujly eat such products. It remains that the safest plan is to eat no pork products of any kind raw. 7 -<>. Impossible.

HATCHING AND i REARING CHICKS Clemson College, S. C.?During the next two months farmers and farmers' wives will place thousands of eggs under setting hens in an effort to hatch early chicks. It is particularly nceessary that the best eggs be selected in order that the percentage of chicks may be increased. Care of Eggs for Hatching. Eggs intended for hatching should perferably be kept in a cool room with temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. They will not hatch well when stored in a room with a temperature over 80 degrees at any time, since the germ develops at this temperature and the albumen loses density. Place the eggs in a basket, cover them with a muslin cloth, and do not disturb or turn them. Do not keep eggs desired for hatching (or for table use) on cotton reed hulls. It is not advisable to use eggs more than two weeks old for hatching, while for best results the eggs shuold not be more than five days old. .Big Eggs Produce Big Chicks..

Since large chicks in a mixed lot retain their increased size throughcut the growing period and generally lay or crow earlier than the smaller chicks, it is evident that only large eggs with good shape and smooth shell should be incubated. Do not set any egg smaller than standard size (1 5-8 inches in diameter crosswise.) Reject extra long, sharp-pointed or rough-shelled eggs, and all doubleyolk eggs, in addition to those under standard size. Gathering the Eggs. Collect the eggs twice daily.

When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.

Take a spoor, iiiand if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and with out making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Hudson's Liver Tone you will r ake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play, j It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.?adv. j o No farm is complete without a Bermuda pasture.

Washington.?Notice of a dangerous area in the North Sea because of operations against Germauy has been given by the British admiralty. A copy of the notice, dated February 13, has been received at the State Department. It warns shipping that after February 7 a prescribed*. area, including all waters around. Germany and parts of Holland andi Dttwmwrk. will be dangerous and should fcw? avoided. The new notice says; "In view of the unrestricted) weu> fare carried on by Germany at\ sea by mines ainl submarines, n? ' ordV' against the Allied Powers, but also against neutral shipping, and the fact that mercnant ships are constant ? ly sunk without regard to the ultimate safety of their crews, his Majesty's government gives notice that on and after the 7th of February, 11)17, the mentioned area in the North Sea will be rendered dangerous to all shipping by operations against the enemy, and shuiid, there fore, he avoided." The notice, which replaces one issued January 25, bounds the area as follows: "Dangerous Area?The area comprising all the water except Netherlands and Danish territorial waters lying to the southward and eastward of a line commencing four miles frotn the coast of Jutland, in latitude 56 degrees north, longitude 8 degrees east, and passing through the following positions: Latitude 5(> degrees north, longitude (? dgerees east and latitude 54 degrees, 45 minutes north, longitude 4 degrees, 80 minutes east, thence to a position in latitude 53 degrees, 27 minutes north, longitude 5 degrees east, seven miles from the coast of The Netherlands." <> THE VEGETABLE GARDEN If a penny saved is a penny earned, then keeping a garden means adding a considerable sum to your in come, says Lewis Edwin Theiss, in Pictorial Review. But altogether aside from the cash value of keeping a garden, there are other returns the value of which cannot be estimated. To begin with, there is the matter of freshness in your vegetables. If you have always bought your green goods at a grocery, you havq yet to learn how fresh vegetables taste. There is as much difference between vegetables fresh from the garden and vegetables that have been harvested three days or a week as there is between daylight and dark. Then, too, there is an exercise value in gardening. To busy people, exercise for erercise's sake is a bore. The same ampunt of time that my wife spent grudgingly in exercise, as a city dweller, she now spends joyfully in the garden. And those golden hours of sunshine and gentle exercise among the plants and flowers have a value that cannot be estimated. But 1 can see the difference in increased vigor and strength.
