July 10.—Milk is the most nearly perfect of all human foods, says Miss Myra Reagan, ex tension nutritionist, pointing out that it contains the proteins for body building, the carbohydrates snd fats for energy, the minerals for bone building, and the impor tant vitamins A, B, C, D, and G val uable for various purposes. Yet, adds Miss Reagan, the com plete and varied.uses of milk and its products are unknov/n to some and imperfectly known to most people. Hence the failure of so many to give milk a really impor tant place in the family diet. An important aid in this direc tion, which not only farm women but others as well will be glad to have, is to be found in a new pub lication of the Extension Service, Bulletin 100, Tire Use of Milk and Its Products on the Farm. In this publication Miss Reagan discusses meal planning, me»us, and recipes with milk in its proper place as a food. The recipes, about 75 in number, include miik drinks, soups and other creanfi dishes, cream recipes, desserts, sour milk and buttermilk dishes, sour cream recipes, butter recipes, whey recipes, cottage cheese recipes, and American cheese recipes—a wide range of tempting dishes for the effective use of dairy products. Another section of Bulletin 100 discusses the production of milk and the making cf butter, butter milk, cottage cheese, etc. C. G. Cushman, extension dairy special ist, is joint author of the publica tion with Miss Reagan. Sick Soil Healing From Erosion Wounds her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Abercrombie.

Sanders, Anderson, which was severely gullied and washing badly two years ago, is now an outstanding evidence cf the value of terracing and other soil conser vation practices, according to E. C. Turner, Jr., extension soil con servation specialist. This is the re sult of the “treatment” outlined for the farm by the Soil Conser vation Service and rigidly followed by Dr. Sanders, Turner states. “Dr. Sanders, being a physician who realizes that proper diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to curing human ills, thought it logical that sick land would re quire the same sort of attention”, Mr. Turner says. “Brought up on a farm, he could tell from the gullies and eroded spots on his 570-acre farm in Anderson county that the land was sick. “So when the Soil Conservation Service demonstration area was es tablished in Anderson county, he called in the land specialists for a consultation, and the results of the remedies applied speak for themselves.” Dr. Sanders now rents to all his tenants with the understanding that they are to cooperate fully in all methods of erosion control. Some of them grumbled a little at first, but when terraces were built on one tenant’s farm the others began asking when they were go ing to get their land terraced. “I didn’t know what those boys were going to do”. Dr. Sanders said, “but I felt that they couldn’t make a bigger bust than I had made at farming during the past 30 years. Now I realize they came along just in time to save my repu tation as a farmer.” -xx- WANT ADV. PEAS, PEAS, FOR SALE—Straight Irons, Iron Mixed, Hay Peas.

Asiatic Elephant Intelligent Many naturalists rank the ele phant, particularly the Asiatic va riety, as the most intelligent of all animals. And a. good memory is one of the evidences of intelligence. In nearly all instances of elephants’ memories, however, fear is the rea son. There is the old, old story of the man who was supposed to have fed tobacco to a circus elephant and five years later the elephant show ered him with water in retaliation. But zoologists scoff at this, saying Mr. Elephant has been known to relish a quid every now and then. txt Incriminating Documents in Shark At a trial in Port Royal, Jamaica, in 1799, the master of a ship was about to be acquitted of the charge of carrying contraband, through lack of evidence—the ship’s papers which he had thrown overboard while be-j ing captured—when the master of another vessel walked in with the incriminating documents. He had just found them in the stomach of a shark.—Collier’s Weekly. - - *j
