Koch flvo years has It been possible to construct tllo dralnngo systems as cheaply as at tho prosont, says tho Uriversity of Nebraska Agricultural College, Trap stealing interferes with' the work against predatory animals car rled on by tho Biological Survey of tho United States Department of Agri culture in tho Northwest. Stealing Government property of any kind is a serious offense for which a fine of ?5,000 may bo imposed or a sentonco of flvo years in Jail, or both. There are at present two offenders in the Stato of Washington who havo been arrested on complaint of Biological Survey hunters, nnd who aro under bond awaiting trial. Others are under suspicion aro being watched. Tho offense of trap-stealing, in ad dition to the fact that all Government property must bo respected, is parti cularly serious, because it may undo woeks or months of careful work. Prodatory animals destroy annually many thousands of dollaia worth ol valuablo live stock. They aro difficult to catch and the hunter may have spent a great deal of time following tho tracks of a destructive wolf or coyote and may have his trap set at tho very best point to intercept his prey, only to have it stolen. The in trinsic valuo of tho steel trap or the pelt of tho animal caught in it is a cash loss to tho government, and tho potential loss of future Hvo stock through sotting a dangerous animal at liberty or Interfering with Its cap ture Is impossible to estimate. Tosts in tho experimental kltchon of tho United States Department of Agrlculturo show that tho quality of flour used, tho retail prlco paid for It, tho method of buying, whethor in small quantities or by tho barrel, tho bread formula" used and tho numbfcr of loaves made at one tlmo are all factors affecting tho final cost of homomado bread. In caso a batch of flvo loaves for which materials were bought In small quantities and which woro baked in an uninsulated gas oven when gas cost $1.20 a thousand feet, a single loaf was found to cost 7 1-3 cents. Tho recoipo called for shortening, sugar and compressed yeast. Milk was not used In the formula tested and would havo increased tho cost of tho bread. A batch of clgth loaves was mado by a more economical formula and all materials though bought at retail prices, were purchased to better ad vantage. "Strong" flour which gives a high bread yield was solccieo, and It was bought by tho barrel, as tho farm woman would bo likely to buy It. Dried yeast was used, snortenlng was omitted, nnd the baking was done in n kerosene range. Under theso ccn dtlons tho cost of a 1 lb loaf was found to be only 4 1-5 cents. The de tails and figures obtained in these tests aro available upon application to the department. :o: Take that next can of cream to Harding Cream Station.

Your support will bo appreciated. Wells 0. Jones Tho old strawberry bed, if it Is to produce well next spring, needs re nowing soon after it has ceased bear ing. The one year old crowns yield more and better berries than the older crowns. Tho object therefore in renowing is to get an abundance of new plants this year according to the University of Nebraska Agricultural College. First tho leaves arc mowed and with tho mulching mnterlal raked off and burned. This is of great benlfit In destroying diseases and insects which are present on the leaves. Then it is necessary to thin tho plants and give tho remaining planus good grow ing conditions to oncourngo the pro duction of runnors. Tho thinning may bo accomplished with a hoe, a spade or a plow. If a hoe is used, a well es tablished plant Is left every 9 to 12 Inches nnd tho others cut away. Plants are left closer than they were originally sot slnco they will not make such good runner growth tho sec ond year as they did tho first. The ground about tho plant should then bo hoed to enablo tho runnors to root readily. Another method of thinning is to leave a strip of plants from 4 to C inches wido at tho edge of tho old matted row and spado or plow under all tho other plants. If plowing is resorted to It is necessary to level tho ridges and pulverize tho soil by harrowing crosswise Becauso tjieir room is ;noro doslr ablo than their company, tho cocker als during the spring and early sum mer aro about as popular as tho appoaranco of, Jack Frost during the peach-budding season. That Is why it pays tho avorago poultryman to start a ccan-up. campaign in his yards which will result In selling all tho surplus cockcrals as soon as they reach marketable size. This dispos ition of tho male birds will provide moro commodious qunrters for tho pullots which aro to bo raised to maturity. Furthermore, as a general proposition, tho earlier tho cockcrals aro marketed, aftor they reach suit able slzo, tho hlghor pre they will bring, othor conditions being equal, on tho other hand, tho longer the cockeralB aro kopt In the flock, the smaller will bo tho not profit when finally sold. Tho Nebraska Agricultural Collego says U is doalrcablo that oach poultry man retain tho choicest, most vigor ous and best grown cockcrals In his flock for subsequent breeding iop oratlons, while it may also pa him to hold back and grow to a larger bIzo such birds ns ho desires for use for tho family, tablo. Tho common practico to bo recommended Is to sell tho cockcrals as soon ns they obtain niarkotnblo size. In sections whore specinl and fancy markots aro avail able, cockorals of the lighter breeds, such ns the Leghorn, may ho sold as squab broilers when woighlng from tlireo-quartors of a pound to one pound apiece. On tho gonoral markets whero frying chickens aro desired and with the larger breeds especially, tho cockorals may bo fnttoned to weigh from ono nnd one-half to two and ono-hnlf pounds nplcco before bolng sold. :o: HOMEMADE BREAD UNDER SOME CONDITIONS MAY COST MOKE Wm.
