More About Sauerkraut 
Will you permit me to contribute an¬ 
other sauerkraut recipe for the benefit of 
your 1 ‘e.aders? I enclose a copy jnst as 
it was written for us by an old German 
neighbor many years ago. If any reader 
doesn’t own a kraut cutter, very good 
work can be done with a large slaw 
cutter. A wooden potato masher may 
be used for a pounder. Re sure to use 
rock salt. 
Split the cabbage in two and cut out 
the heart, also cut out coarse parts of 
ribs if it is very coarse. Adjust your 
cutter close, according to directions, the 
second and third knives elevated accord¬ 
ingly. Discard all rough material. A 
large handful of wheat llour at the bot¬ 
tom of your crock or barrel; a layer 
of about three inches of cabbage, and 
after being pounded down well, sprinkle 
with a small handful of rock salt and a 
few grains of whole black pepper. Put 
down the second layer in same way, and 
use besides salt a sprinkling of juniper 
berries; you can get them at any drug¬ 
store. Keep this rule up alternately. 
Sore Teats—^Their Prevention! 
Do you know what the calf’s tongue does to the teat when he 
swallows? Not one person m ten does. That is one reason 
5vhy, here and there, a man is loath to give up hand milking. 
and pound hard until the water is cover¬ 
ing the kraut. Then cover the whole 
top with clean cabbage leaves. Use a 
hard wooden cover with a clean heavy 
stone on top. Once a week the ferment¬ 
ing juice should be skimmed off. wood¬ 
en cover and stone being washed at the 
same time and you will have the most 
delicious .sauerkraut. M. d.

A Marketing Go-cart 
The little “go-cart” shown in the pic¬ 
ture is used by Mrs. S. A. Rullock of 
Pennsylvania for cari-ying goods fi’om the 
town stores as a part of the “carry your 
own” campaign, which many town wom¬ 
en are conducting. The “Woman Citizen” 
prints this picture and says: 
Mi*s. Rullock made for herself a khaki 
bag w’hich she attached along its seam 
to a three-foot wooden handle, at the 
low’er end of w'hich is a little wooden 
platform to support the bottom of the 
bag. At the two corners of the platform 
nearest the handle are little wheels or 
rollers, so that the carry-all may be 
puslu'd along, or trundled with one hand, 
after the fashion of a go-cart. When it 
is taken into the street car it can stand 
upright and occupy the minimum of 
space, in front of the owner, for in¬ 
stance, between the seats of the car. 
Mrs. Rullock proudly lists the contents of 
the bag when she returned from her last 
marketing expedition as follows: One 
five-pound chicken, two pounds of butter, 
four bunches of celery, one box of ber¬ 
ries, one carrier of peaches, one egg 
plant, one quart of string beaus, half a 
dozen orange.s, one-quarter peck of ap¬ 
ples, three heads of lettuce, one quarter 
jteek of tomatoes, four sqna.shes, one 
half dozen bananas, one half dozen 
lemons, one loaf of bread and two veal 
cutlets. 
Notice when you swallow—the back of 
your tongue strikes the roof of your 
mouth first and works forward till the 
tip touches. It’s the same with the calf 
— in doing so his tongue relieves the 
teat of its congesUen by massaging it 
from tip to udder. If this were not neces¬ 
sary, there would be some excuse for 
the milkers that just pull, pull, pull—or 
for those that massage in the wrong 
direction and those that massage in the 
right direction but in a rough brutal man¬ 
ner. Even hand milkers cannot relax 
and massage the teat — a fact which 
accounts for the usual increase in the 
yield of the herd when Empire Milkers 
are installed. 
Examine the Empire Teat Cup. Notice 
howthe gentle massaging is accomplished 
— more gently and uniformly than even 
that of the calf. 
The facts are getting around; The wide 
and growing sale of the Empire Milker; 
the stories of success after success in 
dairies all over the country { its prestige 
among the men whose opinion carry 
weight. 
Our factory is crowded to the limit. We 
advise prompt action. Go to your dealer 
without delay and tell him to place your 
order as early as possible. In some 
localities we have not appointed an Em¬ 
pire agent: our requirements are high 
and not every kind of dealer is per¬ 
mitted to represent the Empire Line — 
if there is none near you write for the 
Empire Profit, and Prize Book and Cata¬ 
log No 23, and we will see that you are 
taken care of. 
Woman’s Dress for Farm Work 
As there has been quite a lot of dis¬ 
cussion about women’s dress for barn 
and outdoor work, let me add my e.x- 
perience. When the doctor ordered me 
to the country for my health we bought 
a farm, but my husband found our cash 
would not carry out our undertaking 
unless he went back to his work, which 
paid good wages, so I was left with the 
farm alone 10 months in the year. After 
seven years experimenting my suit is 
made of brown denim blouse in Norfolk 
style and quite a full skirt, medium 
short. In cold or wet weather I wear 
boys’ overalls under the skirt and over- 
.shoes, the legs of overalls being buckled 
in so no one can tell what I wear. I 
am always neat and presentable. In 
the Spring and rainy seasons I wear a 
pair of rubber boots. Nov/ with the war 
demanding the best from the farm, I’m 
ready and equipped to do my share.
