THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Botterfat Can Be Increased by Water Proper Methods Will Give Better Returns Dairymen whose cows can have a drink of water whenever they want It—night or day—will get more milk and butterfat from the same amount of feed and care than the dairymen who water their cows only a couple mt times a day. This has been proven fay extensive tests conducted at Iowa state college. The cows while being watered by means of water bowls drank ap proximately 18 per cent more water and yielded 3.5 per cent more mQk and 10.7 per cent more butter- fat than while being watered twice ■ day at the outdoor tank. Conclusions reached from the tests also showed that the temper^- tnre of the water was not nearly so Important as the temperature of the ■ir. In other words, if the cow had to stand outside in near zero weather, she was likely to drink ■datively less regardless of the temperature of the water. As might ha expected, the cows drank more aa the weather became warmer. The experiments were made with water bowls, which are almost im- poasBrfe to obtain during the war. However, many dairymen can in- dnde watering inside their barns where the cows would have access at regular intervals. If some method can be devised so that the turn will not have to sip her needed water out of an icy tank she will drink more water, produce more milk and of a higher butterfat com If the cow is getting silage or gfvea feed with a lot of moisture in it, the cow will drink proportion- atdy less than she will if she is fed entirely on dry feed. There is a ten dency to balance up the total amount of water in the feed and fhot drunk. If the feed has more moisture in it, then the cow drinks that much less. Agriculture In the News Milkweed Floss The milkweed has gone to war md no longer can be considered a farm pest. The seeds of the milkweed fur- an edible oil, chemical ly sUnilar to soy bean' oil. From 100 pounds of the seed at least 20 pounds of oil may be extracted. In Canada, the leaves have prov en an excellent source of natural rubber. Perhaps the greatest war use is the floss of milkweed as aabstitute for kapok, from which life preservers and linings for aviators’ dying suits may be made. Early September is the proper time to the pods, after the seeds have 1 to turn brown. Call has been : out for farmers, Boy Scouts and war workers to gather the floss to SI urgent need of the navy and war departments. A utility egg package, containing He dehydrated equivalent of two dmen eggs in half the space required Hr a dozen fresh ones, is an ex pected postwar application of a war- lime development. AGRICULTURAL FACTS A soldier requires 40 times as much wool as a civilian and it takes SB sheep to provide that wool for one pear. Fifteen ounces of snap beans^gar den weight, are needed to make 19 ounces canned weight. It takes a year’s food from 155 acres to feed a bomber-building crew for the time it takes to build a single bomber. * ★ ★★ ★-*•★★★★★★★★ HOUSEHOLD mtmosmM wmm Wise Cooks Use Their Ingenuity When Points Are Low Leftover lamb makes a pretty sal ad when diced and crowned prettily by a celery wreath, then green pep per and red skinned apple slices. Menus don’t have to go begging fust because ration points have been restored to a great many cuts of meat. In fact, this is the time when all good cooks will put forth all the ingenuity and inspiration they can stir up. Less expensive cuts will give ev ery bit the same nutrition as the most expensive ones, and with long, moist heat cooking they can be made just as palatable. If you do de cide to splurge on a roast or a ham occasionally, use the leftovers up so cleverly that the family will get a real palate thrill from diem. It can be done! And with that in mind, we’re go ing right into our recipe round-up for today. First, the less expensive cuts come in for their sharfe of attention with this Beef En Casserole: Beef En Casserole. (Serves 6) IVi pounds beef (neck, flank or shank), cut into inch cubes 3 strips of bacon 1 clove garlic, peeled 1 cap boiling water 1 teaspoon salt U teaspoon black pepper 2 whole cloves IK caps diced carrots 6 peeled small onions Flour beef cubes. Cook bacon in heavy skillet until brown but not crisp. Remove. Add garlic to ba con fat and brown beef cubes on all sides. Remove garlic. Add wa ter and seasonings. Heat to boil ing. Turn into baking dish, adding vegetables and bacon (cut into inch pieces). Cover and bake in a slow (300-degree) oven for 2 to 2V4 hours. Veal-Ham Loaf.

(Serves 6) 2 pounds veal steak (34-inch thick) Seasoning 1 cup fine crumbs 1 egg 1 tablespoon water 4 tablespoons lard or bacon drip pings 1 lemon 1 taMespoon floor Pound veal to flatten out into thinj. Lynn Says This Is the fruit season: Fresh fruit will easily solve the dessert problem. Here are'ways to do delightful things to fresh fruits: Fill melon rings with mint sher bet. Peel bananas, sprinkle with lemon juice, cover with honey and bake until tender. They’re good with cream. Marinate cantaloupe balls in grapefruit juice and serve well chilled. Apricot ice goes with grape fruit sections, orange slices and freshly sliced apricots. Serve applesauce, hot with marshmallows folded in just be fore dishing up. Apple pie is the better made with a little orange juice and rind for flavor. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menu Fried Chicken Mashed Potatoes Cream Gravy Green Beans Lettuce and Tomato Salad Fresh Blackberry Pie pieces. Season. Cut into servings. Roll in beaten egg mixed with water, then in fine crumbs. Brown in hot fat until well browned. Add 34 cup water. Cover and cook slowly 30 to 35 minutes. Fold over in half when ready to serve with sliced lemon, hard-cooked eggs or pimiento olives as a gar nish. Sour cream may be added to the fat in the pan to make a sauce for the schnitzel. Only a little meat is needed in the next two recipes for that meaty flavor: Chicken-Corn Pndding. (Serves 4 to 6) 8 slices bread 1 can whole kernel corn 34 cop chopped chicken 3 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon pepper 34 teaspoon paprika 234 cups milk Arrange alternate layers of bread slices, com and chicken in a greased casserole.

Place 34 of tomatoes and peas into a greased casserole; top with one half of the bacon. Add onion and celery mixture and crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat layers. Bake in a hot (400-degree) oven 20 minutes. A leg of lamb is good eating as a roast and economical if it is served as leftovers in the form of creamed lamb or salad: Lamb Salad BowL (Serves 6) 234 cnps diced cold lamb 2 cups diced celery 34 cup chopped green pepper 6 slices red apple 1 cup mayonnaise , 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped mint Pile diced lamb in center of salad bowl.

SAUL REJECTED LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 15:10-23. GOLDEN TEXT—Because thou hast re-i lected the word of the Lord, he hath also! rejected thee from being king.—I Samuel 15:23. Moral failure is a direct result of disobedience to God’s law. He es tablished the moral order in the universe. His is the only right way, and the man who does not walk In God’s way is wrong no matter how successful he may seem to be at the moment. After a brief period of success,! Saul sinned by intruding into the' priests office at Gilgal (I Sam. 13:1 10-14). This was soon followed byl his disobedience in the battle with Amalek (I Sam. 15:1-9). This brought final judgment from the Lord, and Saul stood revealed as I. A Self-Willed BaeksUder (w. 10, 11). “Turned back from following” God means just one thing, that is, turned back to self-will. These two principles, which are mutually ex clusive, ride all actions of man—it is either God’s will, or self-will. Saul, who had every opportunity to make good as Israel’s first king, lost out completely, and so turned away from God that God had to turn away from him, which is the thought expressed by "repenteth” (v. 11). II. A Lying Hypocrite (w. 12, 13). Knowing that he had done just the opposite, Saul puts on his best “Sun- day-go-to-church" manner and pro fessed to be very pious, and com pletely obedient (v. 13). One mar vels at his temerity, but not so much so when one thinks of those in the church who put on the same kind of a “front” to cover a worldly, self- centered life. Nothing hurts the cause of Christ more than the nervy hypocrites who deny by their lives before the com munity the thing tor which the church stands. By the way, are you a hypocrite, you who read these lines? If so, flee to God in repent ance. You are in bad company. IH. A Proved Deceiver (w. 14, 15). The difficulty with falsehood is that ultimately the truth comes to light. With Saul it came quickly, for the sheep which he said were dead were alive enough to bleat at just the right time. The deceit of Saul thus was proved in the very instant of his false declaration of innocency. “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Num. 32:23) is not just a re ligious theory, it is God’s word. “He that covereth his sins shall not pros per; but whoso confesseth and for- saketh them shall have mercy” (Prov. 28:13). IY. A Proud Disobeyer (w. 16- 19). Now Saul had to stand before Samuel and hear the words of God’s condemnation. He had to face his own life and see there the ground of the judgment of the Lord. He was reminded of the day of his humble dependence on the Lord, which had brought him exaltation to the highest place in Israel. To be small in one’s own eyes is to be great in the eyes of the Lord. He is looking for the acceptable sac rifice of a humble heart (Ps. 51:17; Isa. 57:15). The tumult and the ihoutlng dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice. An humble and a contrite heart; Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget, lest we forget I —KIPLING. V. An Argumentative Evader (w 20, 21). Once set in the way of disobedi ence, there seems to be no limit to the bold stubbornness of man. In stead of breaking down in contrition and confession, Saul tried to face the matter down by.further argument and tricky evasion. “I have obeyed,” said he, “but the people.” Who was king? Did the people obey Saul, or Saul the peo- »!e? There is nothing honest about laying your sins over on another. How often people do it! Notice also that Saul became very religious again. If anything had been done that seemed wrong, it was with a good purpose; they were going to “sacrifice to Jehovah.” “The sacrifices and ceremonies of religion are to aid and promote obedience, not to be a substitute. Disobedience can never be made a virtue, even though attended by a thousand sacrifices” (Stanley). VI. A Rebellious Reject (w. 22, 23). “To obey is better than sacrifice.” Oh, that we might learn well that lesson which God through*Samuel tried to teach to Saul. We need to recognize that giving to the church, or working for the church, is not enough if there is not obedience to God; and with us that obedience must be the recognition of Christ as saviour and Lord. Lip service, half obedience, a will ingness to make sacrifices were not acceptable in the case of Saul. Be sure they are infinitely less accept able to God in this day when we have His Son who wants to be our Saviour and to give us the enabling grace to obey His will,. — SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLECRAFT These Smart Bags Knit in a Jiffy Due to an unusually large demand and current war conditions, slightly more time Is required In Ailing orders for a few od the most popular pattern numbers.

Name Address Shoulder a Gun— Or the Cost of One ☆ ☆ BUY WAR BONDS ☆ Boys Couldn’t Stump Naturalist With Humbug The boys thought it would be great sport if they could fool a certain well-known naturalist. So they killed a centipede, then care fully glued on to it a beetle’s head, the wings of a butterfly and the legs of a grasshopper. They packed it in a cardboard box and took It to the great man. “We found it out in the fleH,” the leader of the group explained. “Can you tell us what it is?” The naturalist studied it for time, then he asked: “Did this creature hum when you caught it?” “Oh, yes, sir, it did hum,” came fhgB Q CTYTOT* “Well, in that case,” said the naturalist, “it undoubtedly is a humbug!” SNAPPY FACTS ABOUT RUBBER B*Fora tha and of tha yaar, tha U.
