AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS NOW IS THE TIME TO START SHEEP Rapidty changing economic condi- tions, Inclnding increased cost of com- mercial feeds, scarcity of labor, and advanced prices for wool and mut- ton, have induced many farmers in | attention with renewed interest to sheep Tais- @ fRue ten mueh to relieve the inadequacy o jon in the United States.

CORN SHRINKAGE IN CRISB, Inquiries have come in as to the amount which corn shrinks in the crib under ordinary _conditions of storage and weather. The best data available on this point is furnished in a bulletin issued hy the linois experi- ment station. In eepducting their ex- reriments the experimenters from this station built a corn crib whieh could be rolled on to platfarm scales and they weighed the filled crib four times rease if the fluek as ex- | each month.

Many people still rely entirely on sugar for sweetening and, of course, are inconvenienced. But thousands of house- wives have not only found “away out” during the present shortage, but have learned a thing or two that will stick for- ever—sugar or no sugar. Here’s a fact: Sugar only sweetens—it gives absolutely no flavor. ; Brer Rabbit real New Orleans Molasses not only sweetens like sugar, but it gives ‘{apples and usually refuse to 2| per, packed in_a box, and stored in / % ] from New | BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1918 (13 a rich, delicious flavor to all - Th cooking and baking, - - Yet Brer Rabbit is not a substitute” for sugar.
