In the past the fruit-jar method has been open to the objection that, because part ot the liquid bubbles over during fermentation, the top layer of kraut Often is exposed to the air, dries out, and discolors. The new step solves the problem: As the liquid goes down the jars are refilled to the top With boiling brine made up of two tablespoonfuls of salt to a quart ,of water. If the temperature is in the TVs, brine is added about the third day after making the kraut, and again about ten days later. !%• jars are sealed tightly after the last retaining. : , Large Coses In dormant priming of Mack W purple raspberries, leave all large canes, cutting fruiting laterals or branches to 8 to 12 buds, or 6 to 8 inches in length. Purple raspberries may be left longer, as they grow more vigorously. Laterals on black and purple raspberries may be cut severely without serious reduction in yield. Short pruning reduces the number of berries, but increases berry size, shortens the picking season, and reduces the effects drouth.

J. Snider of the Illinois college of agriculture. Professor Snider cited tests at the college's experimental field near Ewing, 111., to show that the proportion of grain to cobs is i n c r e a s e d w h e n corn is grown on fertilized land. Since cobs have little or no feed value and j are so low in plant nutrients that they | have virtually no use in manure^ the .advantages of soil improvement are obvious. At the Ewing field, U. S. Hybrid No. 13 was grown on land treated with limestone, phosphorus and potash and in which nitrogen-fixing legumes had been plowed under, Snider reported. The same hybrid was planted on untreated land and at harvest the results were compared. The corn groWn on fertilized land contained 10.5 pounds of cobs per bushel of ear corn weighing 70 pounds. The hybrid grown on untreated land contained 14 pounds per bushel. "This means that each 100 bush, els of corn grown on unfertilized land contained 350 pounds more cobs than 100 bushels of the same hybrid grown on treated land," Snider said. "On this basis, a farmer who does not treat, shortchanges himself by 5 bushels of grain in each 100 bushels of corn produced. Moreover, when he buys ear corn grown on this type of land, he is subject to the same shortchanging process. The extra poundage of cobs must be handled out of the field into and out of 'the crib and into the feeders." Joe Pugh, an enormous man, was sheriff of Kenton county, in wflich Covington is locate^. Our Latonia track was in Covington. One year, whgn distributing season passes, an error was made, and Pugh, instead of getting an "official" badge, received one which is issued to jockeys. He presented his pass at the gate, and the gateman, looking first at the badge, then at Joe. said: "That's a jockey's badge**'\ "All right," agreed Joe, "it's a jockey's badge. What about it?" "Well, you're no jockey," pointed out the gateman. "Sure I am." retorted Joe, as he. brushed past the gateman and'into the grounds. "I ride elephants."

To Convert Fuel Oil From Farm Crop Waste While there has been talk and experimentation for several years about obtaining several by-products from corn stalks and other farm waste, the United States department' of agriculture now comes out with a full-fledged program for extract, ing liquid motor fuel from corncobs, peanut shells, flax shives, oat hulli, cottonseed hulls and burs and sugarcane bagasse and other farm wast#. The department says that expertmental laboratory investigations by their chemists indicate that from 9C' to 95 gallons of liquid motor fuel car. be obtained from a ton of corncob? or cottonseed hulls anc^ that a! half of this'is in the form of ethyl" alcohol. Experimentations have advancedto the semi-works stage at the D. of A. northern regional research laboratory at Peoria, 111., and results are so1 promising that the work is to be enlarged so that it now may be evaluated on a semi-commercial scale. : What a Noise!

Bill of Rights" are settling1 down in this cityi to stay --with rosy dreams of the future, says the Chicago Tribune. They are Herbert and Florence Pugh, both former United States marines, who were married last No* yember. Now honorably discharged, they are moving into a home of their own, a white two-story house with green shutters. Taking a step which soon may be emulated by thousands of marines, soldiers and sailors the Pughs contemplate a regime of sensible budgeting so that the house, in a section of promising land values, will be theirs outright in time. "We didn't really plan to buy a house at first," Mrs. Pugh explains. "We thought we would live in a nice apartment and when the war was o\er build somewhere. "Then we started looking for an* apartment. There Just wasn't anything to be found." In desperatic.i they took advantage of their prerogatives under the G.I. Bill of,Rights. Now they're glad they did. Two Loans Pooled. -- They found that the government would guarantee "loans to each of them up to $2,000 and that they could obtain money under the G.I. terms with lower rates of interest. They pooled $4,000 guaranteed by the veterans' administration to secure half of an $8,000 loan from a savings and loan association with which to buy their house. . (The veterans' administration guarantees but does not grant the loans, which may be obtained from banks, private firms or individuals, or a federal lending agency. The veterans' administration does pay the interest on the loan for the first year. The loans, at 4 or 4% per cent interest, are amortized over 20 years.) Now the Pughs joyfully are addressing themselves to such considerations of home ownership as whether tuberous rooted begonias will grow in the hot Virginia climate; what kind of fertilizer to use on the lawns, and what they ought to hang over the mantelpiece. Both like to read and will have ample shelves for books on their hobbies--gardening, dogs, hunting, decoration, art. homemaking and. for Mrs. Pugh, works on vocational guidance and psychology. Besides, there's a book which Mrs. Pugh's mother sent her--the first thing unpacked in the new home--on "The Joy of Csoking." Wife Is an Artist... An artist who has exhibited back home in Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. Pugh is devoting much study to details of walls and furnishings. With their modest savings, which might otherwise have hsd to go toward buying the house, they have bought enough/furniture to start with. There are a living room, dining room, and kitchen downstairs, and 24 bedrooms upstairs. The half room is just the right size for a nursery. Jt will be furnished with a crib and chest of drawers and "readied up" for an occupant next fall. Adjusting back to civilian life has been no great problem to Florence Pugh, in the marines a year, or to her husband, a salesman, who served a year and a half. "When you're in the marine corps there are just two states--dead alive," reasons the ex-lady marine. "If you're alive, well, what do you have to complain about?"

' It pointed out that a package addressed to a man in the Pacific gets a long and rough trip, perhaps lasting months, and possibly in half a dozen ships. The navy made these Suggestions: I*. Pack each article in shredded paper or something like it to prevent movement inside the package., 2. Tie the box with heavy cord, then wrap it in brown paper, tie it '-again with a strong cord, and print the address in ink. Don't use paper stickers which fall off if they get wet. . 3. Inside each package.put a list < of the contents artai the full address i of the intended recipient. This will ensure delivery if the package should becftme broken. " / 4. Insure packages sent overseas. One man recently took ERB-HELP three days and said afterward that he never would have believed his body contained so much filthy substance. He says his stomach, intestines, bowels and whole system were so thoroughly cleansed that his constant headaches came to an end, several pimply skin eruptions on his face dried up overnight, and even the rheumatic pains in his knee disappeared. At present he is an altogether different man, feeling fine in every way. ERB-HELP contains 12 Great Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gas from stomach, act on sluggish liver and kidneys.
