Swine Although a line record has been chalked up in the fight on contagious abortion, or brucellosis, in cattle, many producers seem un- I aware of the losses being caused by j contagious abortion in swine.' There! i are a few easy practices owners J can take to control this disease in their swine. .1 Provide Mineral Mixture * In hogging down corn and soft* beans, soybeans alone, or peanuts, growers should provide their hog* with a good mineral mixture. One small recipe can provide two toen of these small, fluffy candle cakes which will be a delight at any get-together for your dessert luncheon or afternoon refreshment. They're particularly nice for a birthday. Now that you've finished entertaining the family and relatives during the holidays, you can get back to your club work and social activity in earnest. Most of us, from either the budget or ration point consideration, cannot afford to entertain for luncheon as we did formerly,- but we can still afford the same gracious h o s p i t a l i t y , e v e n with less food for our guests. Should you wish to entertain at luncheon, do so with a simple salad, sandwiches, or beverage. Or, it's very - fashionable to entertain at a dessert and beverage luncheon. A simple cake to go nicely with your dessert luncheon or afternoon refreshment is this one. The surprise item is coconut which now has found its way, even though in small quantity, to some markets: •Coconut Candle Cakes. (Makes 2 dozen small) 1% cups sifted cake flour 1)4 teaspoons double acting baking powder cup butter or substitute 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, unbeaten H cup milk 1 teaspoon lemon or vanilla extract 1 cup moist sweetened coconut Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and sift together 3 times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating wpll after each addition. Add flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Acid flavoring. Turn into lightly greased cupcake tins filling % full. Bake in a moderate (375- degree) oven 20 minutes or until done. Frost with snowy lemon frosting and sprinkle with moist, sweetened coconut. Arrange cakes on a . platter and insert candle holder with - candle on each cake. Snowy Lemon Frosting. 2 egg whites, unbeaten • » Wi cups sugar^n, * 3 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons lemon juice >4 teaspoon grated lemon rind Combine egg whites, sugar, watpr and lemon juice in top of double boiler, beating with rotary egg beater until thoroughly mixed. Place : over rapidly boiling water, beating constantly with rotary egg beater and cook 7 minutes or until frosting Stands up in peaks. Remove from boiling water, add l&mon rind and beat until thick enough to spread. . Makes enough frosting for 2 dozen cupcakes. Well-seasoned finger sandwiches made from flaked fish will go well with an aspic salad for a very lovely # luncheon: - --- ----- - - - •Tomato Aspic Vegetable Salad. • (Serves 8) 1 tablespoon unfJavci:edtgelaJtin * Va cup cold water •. 2 cups, tomato juice' V* teaspoon salt li teaspoon celery salt \ , 1 tablespoon grated onion 1 teaspoon Worcestershire 'sa$j«iL 1 tablespoon lemon juice p *• 1H c u p s g r a t e d r a w c a r r o t c " . v V% cup diced celery V ^ » « 2 green onions, sliced.

They traded a burst of lead and the Jap began to smoke and burn at the wing roots. AS the Zero fell, Lieutenant Thomas saw the Jap pilot bail out. While the Jap plane was still falling, Lieutenant Thomas saw a Corsair zoom past him, with a Zero hot on his tail. He peeled over, put « burst into the enemy and "the Zero burst into flames and spun down." Zeros were swarming around like bees, as Lieutenant Thomas put another burst in a Jap, saw pieces fall off his «pl&ne but did not see him smoke or crash. Enemy bullets riddled the rear of the marine's plane and he dove to head home. Oil was splashing on the left side of the greenhouse and he couldn't see whether or not the Japs were still on his tail. The plane couldn't hold altitude and then the engine froze. The pilot looped it over and hit the silk. His companions circled, offering protection, and marked the spot where he landed. ^The experience of being shot down pound of proc- ! was nothing new to Lieutenant cup evaporated | Thomas. He had done it once before. Once in his small rubber boat he did his best to paddle away froih enemy shore positions, but the winds and currents were too strong for him. Exhausted he covered himself with his parachute and began to doze off. He awakened to find a large bird, probably an albatross, perched on his foot. Plays Possnm. «, "I played possum with it for a while just to see what it would do," he said, "then ventured to move a bit. The bird didn't seem alarmed, a^d it stayed there completely unconcerned. I put my hand out to stroke its head, but, instead of flying away, it bit'my finger and shook it like a puppy shaking a rag. However, it did not hurt." Search planes then came into sight,-but apparently they could nbt find the lieutenant. He did ever$r«- thing to attract their attention, but to no avail. Disappointed and a little worried, he decided to take his mind off the situation by fishing. ' "The fish weren't as friendly as the bird," he said. ."I got no bites at all." Late in the afternoon, the search pljines appeared again, but this time the fighters saw the tiny rubber boat bouncing on the water. A rescueplane landed on tfhe water and soon Lieutenant Thomas wasjon his way back with this fighting Squadron. Peterson led the social hour.; Mrs. Case and Mrs. Cecil Anderson will be the; local leaders at the next meeting.

Test Seed To test seed, in early spring when making your garden plans, take some -blotting paper, moisten it, place 25 or 50 seeds between two sheets of the wet paper, place it in a warm place for a few days, so the seeds can germinate, separate the sheets and count the number of germinated seeds. The number of growing seeds will give you the percentage of germination you can expect from your seed and you can plant accordingly in the garden.
