The water may be pumped through a two-barrel tank, with most of the pumping carried out at the same time the warm cream is put in.

No scientist can make bones by combining minerals ia a test tube, but the human body builds them from calcium and phosphorus, minerals which we get froan the food we eat, especially from milk. Other elements go into their making, too, but these are the ones that are needed in the largest amounts, and the ones that hre most likely to be taken ia insufficient quantities. There's another important material which diss ast actually go into the bonee, hart is ascessary if the body is to buOd then. That's vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin.

One plant in the United States is making nitro-sterch, an explosive which is made extensively in Europe. In Maine, experiments are under way to use the, potato in making plastic compounds. So far the idM is still in the laboratory stage but chemists believe that the potato may have a future in this field. Such an outlet would use profitably the culls aad second grade potatoes which are usually wasted. ^ Another use of the potato, so far not triad here, is the making aI fuel alcohol as a substitute for gasoline and kerosene. It was developed first in Germany. No crop produces as much food per acre as the prolific potato plant where yields of 200 to 300 bushels are common. The leading potato growing sections are Aroostook county, Maine; Long Island, New York; the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Red River Valley of Minnesota and southern Id^ho. Maine produces about one-seventh of the 45,000,000 bushel crop annually.

Poultry Ration ^ r Afiy of the common grains'may be used with good results in the poultry ration So long as the mixture contains at least three different grains.
