PRINCIPLE OF MAGIC CLEANERS The principle of the magic cleaner and similar .well-advertised devices for cleaning silver is so simple that a housekeeper should be able to make an outfit for the outlay of a few cents for zinc, according to the Department of Homo Economics, College of Agriculture. The black ening of silver is due to the forma tion of a compound with sulphur. This compound may be broken up by an electrolytic current produced in the following manner: In a . ves sel large enough to hold the silver to be cleaned, placo a strip or piece of zinc about the size of a person's hand. Add sufficient hot water to cover the silver. To each quart of water add about a teaspoonful of salt. An equal amount of soda is sometimes added, but is not neces sary. ColcTor warm water may be used but the action of cold water is slower. Immerse the silver to be cleaned. It may be convenient to placo it in a wire basket. Unless the silver is badly darkened, the stains will disappear in a minute or two, when the silver should bo rins- cd'and dried. FARMERS' EXCHANGE IN EIGHT COUN' TIES When Mr. John Jones of Boxbutte. Dakota, Dawes, Gage, Kimball, Madison, Seward, or Thurston coun ties wants to buy a team of mares it is no longer necessary for him to spend much valuable time scouring the country over in search of the prospective team. All that he now has to do is to write or go to the office of his county agricultural agent and ask to see the list of horses for salo. If it happens to bo a second-hand plow, or some seed corn, it is all the same. All of the things which tho farmer wishes to sell are listed in the office of the county agricultural agent. Thru the agency of such farmers' ex oxchanges, many thousands of dol lars worth of business is transacted each year in the eight counties of Nebraska having farmers' associa tions employing such agents. The agent merely acts as a clearing house for such information. WINTER CARE OF STRAWBERRIES When tho ground freezes to a depth of four inches, a layer of straw, or some other bedding ma terial free from weed seeds, should 'be spread over the plants, says the Horticultural Department, College of Agriculture. This holds the frost in the ground and prevents the plants from being lifted out. Remove a portion of the straw next spring when tho growth first starts.

The following ration has been rec ommended by the poultry husband man of the College of Agriculture as being most economical for this state and giving satisfactory results in fat tening chickens: 60 per cent corn moal, 40 per cent low grade flour, 20 per cent wheat middlings. Mix with skim milk to the consistency of a batter, and feed morning and night. Starve the birds 12 hours previous to their first feeding. This will sharpen their appetites. Fatten for two weeks in a small pen or crate until ready for killing. This will deprive the fowls of exercise, and the muscles will become soft. Fat ty tissue will be taken on between muscle fibres, which will greatly aid in the cooking process. Don't kill the bird when the crop is full. Starve for 24 hours and pro vide all the water they will drink. If the chicken is to be roasted, re move the crop either with the visce ra or by making an incision next to the spinal column where it will not show when the bird is served. The cords or tendons of the thigh may be easily removed by partly severing the shank at the joint. Then, after locating the cords by making a lengthwise incision in the scaly por tion of the leg, fasten the leg Becure ly and null steadily until the cords are loose. SUPERIORITY OF CORN AND ALFALFA Recent experimental work at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station has corroborated the results of former tests in showing the eco nomical superiority of a ration of corn and alfalfa for fattening steers. Cold pressed cottonseed cake UBed in connection with alfalfa hay, silage, and corn increased the cost of gains and lowered the profits. Cold pres sed cottonseed cake did not give as good results as regards either rate of gain or economy of gain as did al falfa hay. Diuerent amounts of si lage in the ration did not seem to make any material difference in the amount of gains. The results of the experiment are contained in Bulletin 151, which may be had on request from the Expeiment Station, Lincoln, Neb. HIGH SCHOOL JUDGING CONTEST An inter-8chola3tic Btock judging contest will be held early in April at the College of Agriculture. This will be open to all high schools in the state, and each agricultural in structor is invited to send a team of three men. Fifteen classes of live stock will probably be judged, includ incr beef cattle, sheep, horses and hogs. A day's work-out before the contest will be arranged. The De nartment of Animal Husbandry has representatives of most breeds and can thus give the boys some special work before the contest. Anyone wishing further information should address tho Animal Husbandry De partment, Collego of Agriculture, Lincoln, Neb. HOT SCHOOL LUNCHES In serving hot lunches in the country school, the Collego of Agri cnlturo says that the following sug- irestions should bo observed: 1. Scrupulous cleanliness is essen tial. 2. Extreme care must be taken to avoid waste. 3. Do not serve a favorite dish more than onco a week, unless it be a staple food, as baked potatoes. 4. Make only enough to serve each pupil one portion. VENTILATION FOR HOGS Of little less importance than the ventilation of this year's crop of corn is that of securing proper ven tilation for tho animals that eat it, according to the Collego of Agricul ture. This is particularly true of hogs. Frequently when the shed is closed tightly, tho hogs will become heated, as well as be obliged to in hale impure air. Such hogs, on be ing exposed to cold air, are likely to become susceptible to disease, espe cially pneumonia and so-called hog rheumatism. Hartington News: Rev.
