This is a custom b that belonged to the dark ages and s has ultimately caused the downfall ? of every nation that practiced it. With the system being advocated n we are trying to do the very thing c we condemned so 'Strongly in (ler- ^ many. The day such a system becomes affective in America is the day our boasted American freedom ceases to be a reality and we will 11 have taken a long stride towards ? impercalism or militarism. If neces-. sity arises, and the selection draft system has to be set in motion, that wiil suffice for any emergency as as has been demonstrated in the fj past two ; ears. We hope there are o enough blue blooded Americans j to a nip this so called universal training ^ propaganda in the bud?it's a bad j, scheme. u OF INTEREST TO FARMERS v 2 Edited by T. M. Cathcart d Make County Fair Educational u County fairs could be made more ] educational if proper attention were $ paid to the judging of the livestock, t Instead of judging in the barns or y back of the bams, at an hour when s few can be present, the judging c should be held in front of the grand- lstaad or in a level open space, where j exhibitors and interested spectators c may see what is going on. The judg- f ing might be in the morning, when t there are no races. All animals t should be brought out, even when r mere is no competition. t The judges should line up the ani- ( mals in each class after they are a placed, in the order in which the ribbons have been placed, and give breifly the reasons why the animals were so placed. Each class should be lined up in the same order, always beginning at the same side. In this manner the exhibitors and oth- a ers will get the full educational ben- c efit of the show, which is more im- .s portant than the making of awards, j Pig skins and steer hides are the s best grain sacks a man can have on tthe farm. The only safe way to sue- t cess against unfavorable markets, 0 opposing climatic conditions and de- ft structive insect life, is to have some- \ thing to sell every week in the year. r The way to do this is to grow grass f for pastures, soybeans, velvet beans, t peanuts, corn, oats and wheat for t grain; have some cows, a few steers, , pigs and chickens and we will pros- t per and become independent. This c system spells success for us no mat- j ter who we are or where we live. r The use of milk in feeding chick- j er.s will double egg production. The hen never lays an egg until j all the ingredients necessary for the 'j ( complete development of the chick r are present. Since the egg contains ( protein, as well as carbohydrates, the amount of the carbahydratcs fed in the form of grain will not fl oiTset the necessity of protein. Mi.k v given to the birds, either as a drink t. or in the form of wet mask, will ? double egg yields. Commercial meat [i scraps are of equal value, and may iie substituted when milk cannot be e obtained.

Receipts for Using Grapes Canned Grapes Canning is a very eionomical way , f utilizing Muscadine grapes, since ' ittle sugar is required for this proess. The canned grapes are suitable or sening on the home table in 1 auce dishes as a breakfast appetizr, a side dish, or a dessert. They an be used also in pies, puddings, akes etc. 1 Sugar-Syrup Method < In canning the whole berries by s ? ? ? Ilea firm 4 nc bugur'b)iup mciiiuvi wot ipe fruit. Slit all the berries on the i kle horizontally with a small-bladed i nife, and then brush the seeds from 1 hem with the point of the knife, 'aek the seeded whole berries, cold, i pint jars and pour over the fruTt 1 ntil the jars arc filled a sugar-syrup ' lade by boi'ing equal measures of ugar and water together for 1 vnute. After allowing to stand for alf an hour to permit the syrup to cep through the slit in the berries, 1 i nil the jars with syrup, and put lie rubbers and caps in place with he jar clamp in a raised position, lien steam the jars in a home learner unt:i the skins have softened nd the fruit and jars are sterilized, v'hile the jars are still hot refill . ith boi ing sugar-syrup and then ial by clamping down the lid. The * roper length of time to steam jt ruit and jars varies with the varie-1i y. The Scuppemong requires ap-! 5 roximately an hour; the James hould steam an hour and a half; :i?i tin- Thomas will require fully t >vo hours. The aim should be to c team the fruit long enough to soft- ; n the- skins w ithout having the her- \ its break down. Unless the seed ? re removed so that the sugar syrup l ets inside as well as outside, the ? errics shrivel up when canned by r his process. Spiced Grapes Spiced Muscadine grapes are much he same as canned grapes prepared j y the cooking method, except for pices. The product is slightly more f xpensive and more dilficult to make, ut a small amount of it will be de- ? irable for the sake of variety, and < iany people greatly prefer the spi- j v products to those having pure luii flavors. The method used for making spic- i d grapes is essentially like the cook- ( ig method of canning the grapes. , After combining the softened hulls nd seeded pulps. ior every 5 pounds ? f fresh fruit used add the follow- 1 j 2l/s pounds of sugar. 2 ounces of ground cinnamon. I 1' 2 ounces of ground cloves. 1 '2 pint of vinegar. Then boii the mixture over a slow j re unti: a little thick. If .r> pounds f fruit are used this will require j bout an hour's boiling. j Since the flavor of the spices preominates, the variety factor is of; ] ?ss importance than in other prod- j cts. Some people prefer a special! uoduct made as above, but with tlm 1 incgar, flic cloves, and half the sug- i r omitted. Consertes \ Muscadine grape conserves are lelicious products, well adapted for 1 se in making sandwiches for school (inches. They also make a good desert and may be used as a substiute for preserves, jam, etc. They ' re slightly more expensive than ome of the products already dis- 1 ussed, but if orange pectin solution las been prepared in connection with oily making, the making of these unserves will utilize the orange com which the peel was taken for he pectin solution. The fact that ] hey contain raisins, oranges, and j (uts in addition to grapes makes ' hem a very wholesome combination. )ne recipe for making conserves is is follows: 3 pounds of grapes. < 1 pound of sugar. < pound of finely ground raisins. 2 large oranges. Vz pound of finely ground pecans. Takes sound, ripe oranges. Weigh , nd pulp them. Treat the pulps as in anning, in order to remove the eeds. Grind the.hulls fine in a meat friiider or chop them as fine as posible. and then soften them as in J anning. Place the hulls and pulps ogether and add for every 3 pounds ' I fresh fruit 1 scant pound of sugar 1 ialf a pound of finely ground raisins, he meaty part of two large Califorlia oranges, and one-fifth of the pound peel of one orange. Cook his mixture approximately an hour < iver an even, slow fire until it is ' eal thick. Then stir into the mix 1 ure one-half pound of ground pean-nut meats. After again allowing t to boil for about five minutes remove it from the fire, pack solid y n small containers, such as i-ounce a,IK- nid rover with ?.M j. . ?- >arafF;n. If the product is packed ir, ars, these can be processed for 1." , ninutes, in order to sterilize the 'ontents. Mincemeat Muscadine grape mincemeat is anther appetizing an>! di.-tinctive predict, somewhat like conserves, but hcaper, and containing fewer ingredients. So manges are required n. making mincemeat. This is an ' important consideration, since orang- ' - are expensive and often very va.Cv in parts ?." the Muscadine rape territory at the time the grapes re ripening. The grape mincemeat, s its name implies is a substitute or ordinary mincemeat In making 1 ies equal parts of the mincemeat ' nd chopped apples are usually usil. but the mincemeat is a delicious roduct without the addition of aj>h'S. To make the mincemeat puip the f rape>. p'aeing the puip in one por- | [*!ain vessel and the hulls in anoth- | r. Cover the hulls with water, boil ! ioVntly until tender, and then run j i.vnnn-h -a meat grinder. using the 1 arsest plate. To the pulp and juice 1 <M a teacup of water (one-haif I int) for every quart of pulp and iiice; boil until tender (about 15 linutcs). and press through a eolnder to eliminate the seeds. Then lix the pulp, juice and hulls, and t? very quart of the mixture add: 3 The pulp of one lemon. me ground white rind of 1 lemon, s iwo cups (1 pint) of sugar. ! One grated nutmeg. Boil until of a thick, smoth con sistency?that is, until it flakes or sheets when ; oured from a spoon, seal while hot in sterilized jars. In using this for mincemeat pies lit. one part of chopped apples fo: ?ach part of grape mincemeats or. .vhere fall apples are available, these :an be added when making the nincemeat. o Ask the MAJESTIC range salesnan at KING HARDWARE CO'S. itore to show you the method of un;een riveting on the new smooth, inish MAJESTIC ranges.
