Drinking Barley Water
Now that grown ups as well as ba
bies drink chilled barley water durjtng
the warm weather every one is learn
ing how to make it
It is supposed to bo better than lem
onade and hps excellent tonic proper
ties It is recommended by all doc
tors for those whose stomachs are not
very strong through the summer
season
A good way to make it is a fol
lows Put a scant cupful of barley In
an earthen vessel and cover with two
or three quarts of boiling water
When cold strain and add lemon juice
It should be kept on ice in order that U
may be chilled This is better than
serving it with cracked ice in a glass

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness it is usually neces

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness which not only destroys the
appearance but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes

because of innate modesty some got
furiously red because of their quick
tempers some women get beautifully
red in the face because of the beauty

With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch you can launder your shirt
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can it will have the
proper stiffness and finish there will
be less wear and tear of the goods
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to
the iron
If you drop in love it overflows
love If you drop in charity it over

chemical analyses of the different
zones
The cortical layer is the outside
ring tho internal medullary layer is
the branchlike structure and the ex
ternal medullary layer is the part be
tween
The cortical layer Figs 1 and 2
below the first few layers of cells
which are removed with the skin
shows a remarkably larger amount of
starch in the cells than does the In
ternal medullary layer Figs 3 and 4
The starch content of the internal
medullary layer is also greater than
that of the internal The grains of
starch in the cortical and external
medullary layers besides existing in
greater numbers per cell are
srally of larger average size The
paucity of starch in the internal me
dullary layer causes the cells to be
only partially filled with the cooked
starch and the cell walls are scarcely
ever ruptured In the cortical layer
on the other hand the amount of
starch is such that in the swelling due
to cooking the cells are filled com
pletely and many of them ruptured
causing the mealy appearance so
much desired of the consumer
It is quite evident then that pota
toes having as far as possible a homo
geneous flesh and containing as large
an amount as possible of cortical and
outer medullary layers in proportion
to inner medullary layer should be of
the finest quality
This has been shown to be a fact in
experiments with 15 American vari
eties even though cooked after hav
ing been split in half which is mani
festly a disadvantage
The influence of fertilizers on the
potato seems to be primarily if not
solely due to their aid in producing a
normal development of tubers That is
Fig 2 Inner Section

the fertilizer applied must correct ab
normality by furnishing an element of
fertility which is lacking in the soil
An application of ordinary quantities
of an essential element which is al
ready present in the soil in amounts
necessary to a normally fertile soil
probaljly has no marked effect either
upon the crop or its quality

the use of potassium sulfate gives po

THE POTATO AND ITS
NEED OF FERTILIZATION
Elements Wfaick Soilacks Must Be Supplied to Produce
Normal Tubers By Edward M East Illinois
Agricultural College
The writer was led first by Coudons
and Boussards work to believe that
the physical structure of the potato
held some relation to the table quality
Microscopical examination of the
structure of the potato bears out the

duced with the use of potassium chlor
ide but this conclusion is opposed by
other experiments There is probably
no ill effect from the use of ordinary
amounts 100 to 500 pounds of po
tassium chloride even if excessive use
of chlorides is detrimental
The accompanying table shows the
general effect of fertilizers upon
quality In an experiment planned
primarily in soil fertility sodium
nitrate was sown at the rate of 250
pounds to the acre over the whole
plot and potassium and phosphorus
supplied as shown in the table The
numbers here shown are the esti
mates of quality of all of the tubers
produced by all of the plants of one
row running across all the plots The
variety used was Green Mountain

Alsyke Clover Alsyke clover can
be grown on land that is too wet for
the growing of red clover It is thus
of great value in many parts of the
United States in which the drainage
of land is in a very backward condi
tion and is likely to be backward for
a long time to come We commend
this clover for trial in all such loca
tions Where it is difficult to grow
any kind of a legume the land generally
needs a crop such as alsyke clover
to put the soil in good condition or
as good as can be hoped for on un
drained land The hay from alsyke
clover is finer than from red clover
and not so much is produced per acre
but it is richer in nitrogen which is
a very important consideration
Separate Hoppers for Different Grains
One of the greatest objections to the
hopper system of feeding is that the
hens must either use the mixture you
give them whether they want it or
not or else they will waste some kinds
while picking for what they like To
overcome this use several hoppers
each with one kind of grain in it
This gives the hen a chance to balance
her own ration

AGSrfr PUrtTA AAYA6 CL
By invitation of the Chilean govern
ment the Pan American Scientific con
gress will hold its meeting the last
of December this year at Santiagq
whither delegates from all nations in
the Americas are now making prep
arations to go The United States has
appropriated 35000 to defray the ex
penses of its delegates and the choice
of men from the United States con
sists of Prof Archibald Cary Coolidge
of the Harvard historical department
Prof Hiram Bingham now of the Yale
historical department but for the last
five years curator of South American
history and literature at the Cam
bridge university Prof Leo S Rowe
of the University of Pennsylvania a
r well known authority on Latin Ameri
ca Prof Paul S Reinsch of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin a delegate to
the third Pan American congress in
190G and well known for his writings
on political science and colonial
ernment Col William C Gorgas of
the United States army chief
sanitary officer of the Isthmian
canal commission William H
Holmes chief of the bureau of
American ethnology at the
Smithsonian institution Washington
Prof Bernard Moses of the historical
and political science department of the
University of California George M
Rommel of the bureau of animal indus
try of the department of agriculture
Prof William M Shepherd of Colum
bia university a close student of
South American affairs and Prof Wil
liam B Smith of the philosophical de
partment of Tulane university Louisi
ana who is almost as well known as a
mathematician and New Testament
critic as a philosopher Prof Rowe
is chairman and Prof Reinsch vice
chairman of the delegation
Though the coming congress is the
first scientific gathering to include all
the countries of the western
j phere it will be the fourth congress
of the kind for tfte Latin American
countries The first was held at
Buenos Ayres in 1898 the second at
Montevideo Uruguay in 1901 and the
third at Rio de Janeiro in 1905 It is
owine to the predominant part as
sumed by the United States in the
Pan American conference of 190G that
this country was invited to send rep
resentatives to the more specialized
congress
The purpose of the scientific con
gress at Santiago is to bring together
advanced thinkers in all lines of sci
entific research for the discussion of
the numerous problems confronting
modern civilization and particularly
of such as through their elucidation
will tend to the social betterment and
national prosperity of the countries
represented
Each congress has been broader in
purpose than its predecessor and has
had a larger representation but it is
due to the Chilean committee that
planned the coming meeting that the
United States was invited to send
delegates
The United States government
through Secretary of State Root in-
vited 15 universities to send represen
tatives Only six have responded but
it is expected that the universities of
Chicago Illinois Michigan Minneso
ta Texas and Wisconsin and George
Washington Johns Hopkins and
Princeton will name delegates
The United States government ac
cepted the Chilean invitation to send
delegates to the first Pan American
congress because it felt such meetings
would prove extremely valuable not
only in effecting the close relations
of the American countries so much
striven for now but because it was
sure the meeting would be of great
practical good
At the Rio congress of 1905 where
14 countries had representatives 120
papers were read In the coming con
gress the topics for discussion are
under nine headings mathematics
physical sciences natural anthropo
logical and ethnological sciences en
gineering medical sciences and hy
giene juridical science social sci
ences pedagogy and philosophy
agronomy and zootechnics which latter
may be called the science of agricul
ture The discussions under the head
of social sciences are expected to bo
the most important 40 per cent of
the subjects to be introduced in the
congress being grouped under that
title
At Santiago there will be estab
lished a general clearing house of
American information The great bulk
of the work will come under the so
cial sciences and 205 subheads under
that title have been made It is-certain
that a good deal more informa
tion concerning the early history and
inhabitants of America will become
common knowledge after the congress
closes Exchange of ideas on agri
cultural methodswill also be valuable
Among the almost innumerable sub
jects to be talked over the most im
portant are such as these
Means which American nations
might employ to properly assimilate
immigrants to the native element
The advisability of introducing the
referendum Results following re
forms introduced in American coun
tries for the purpose of affording the
people a more direct participation in
public affairs Lega and political
status of aborigines 4
Labor including co ojerative build
ing plans laws to protect women and
children in industrial labor minimum
wages co operative loanassociations
savings hinl relief societies labor
exchanges compulsory insurance in
dustrial schools social education and
labor unions
Under engineering some subjects
are Plans and gages of interconti
nental railways supply of drinking
water distribution of irrigation water
and adoption of a Pan American stan
dard reinforced concrete construction
railway car lighting and processes for
concentration of ores uses of nitrate
and discussions of the only source of
supply the Chilean fields
Under agronomy and zootechnics
proposed subjects include preparation
and improvement of soils agricultural
machinery reforestation viticulture
and vinification production of meat
fat milk butter cheese and wool ma
chinery for the elaboration and con
servation of animal products poultry
fish culture parasitical and contagious
diseases of domestic animals rural
construction economic elements in ag
ricultural production
When it is considered that we are
far in advance of South America on
some of these matters while they are
much better informed on others the
great value of the coming congress to
all the people of the western hemis
phere can be appreciated
What Generosity Means
Many people get the credit of be
ing generous who never felt a single
generous impulse in their lives says
a close student of human nature
Their generosity so called has
consisted simply in formal cold
grudging almsgiving carried out at
the call of duty and unaccompanied
by any spontaneous burst of feeling
or sympathy
The highest generosity is full of
strong unhesitating self effacement
and always inspires except in de
based natures feelings of gratitude
and affection Almsgiving is tone of
the least of its attributes It more
often takes the form of helpfulness
sympathy and understanding It gives
forth compassion and encouragement
of a kind which is far beyond money
value
The secret of generosity is unsel
fishness and the way to acquire it is
to cultivate universal love and sym
