March 1, 1924 
and Now 
os newer needs changed old-time methods of pack¬ 
ing salt , so has modern farm use made vital a 
salt that is Quick dissolving! 
W ITH native instinct the Indian and 
even man before him, sought licks 
and cliffs from which to chop his precious 
stores of salt. Generations following have 
solved the problem of getting salt supplies. 
And with the great developments that 
made those supplies possible there has come 
a new and scientific understanding of salt 
and its uses. Now it is known that there 
are amazing differences. 
Ordinary salt is Cube shape. Like a block of ice 
such salt is of a hard and comparatively non-porous 
form, slow to dissolve—slow in penetration. The 
second looks like Crystals of glass—flaky but hard. 
It too is slow dissolving and of low penetrative value. 
Colonial Special Farmers Salt is a soft, porous Flake— 
not unlike a snowflake. Salt MUST DISSOLVE 
TO ACT! That’s why any salt for satisfactory 
general farm use must first be a QUICK DISSOLV¬ 
ING SALT! 
Cheap Salt Is a dangerous Economy 
Compared with the finished value of the meat to be 
cured or the butter to be made or in baking or table 
use, the difference in salt cost is only a fraction of a 
cent. Yet on the action of the salt depends the final 
quality and value of the finished product. You 
avoid all dangerous risk by using Colonial Special 
Farmers Salt. Always packed in a branded 70-pound 
bag. The linenized material makes fine toweling. 
ORDINARY SALT 
The sides of ordinary 
Cube salt are so smooth 
and flat that they fit 
closely together. Mois¬ 
ture in the air joins these 
and forms lumps that are 
wasteful. 
ORDINARY 
FARM SALT 
Under the microscope 
these flakes are shown to 
be like crystals of ice — 
hard and non-porous. 
That is why they are 
slow-dissolving and form 
lumps. 
Send for “Meat Curing and Batter Making 
on the Farm,” a valuable book of information.

they are like flakes of 
snow — soft, filmy and

You use less of Colonial Special 
Farmers Salt because it is all salt 
—pure salt with all the moisture 
removed. And it does not form 
in wasteful lumps. A 70-pound 
bag is as big as a 100-pound bag 
of ordinary salt.

Salt—never causes sore tongues or sore mouths—always insures animals getting enough.

highly concentrated foods. Fruit salad 
is an attractive way of adding more fruit 
to one’s menu. 
Fruit Salad Dressing.—Four tables¬ 
poons vinegar, four tablespoons sugar, 
two tablespoons of butter, two well-beaten 
eggs. Cook in a double boiler until thick 
and smooth. When cold add one cup of 
cream whipped until very stiff. (Cream 
that is 24 hours old whips much better 
than fresh cream.) This dressing may 
be used on all kinds of fruit salad. Some 
good combinations are bananas, oranges, 
apples and nuts, diced fine. The salad 
may be made several hours before served 
if kept in a cool place. Bananas cut 
lengthwise and sprinkled with chopped 
nuts on lettuce are nice, also oranges, 
pineapple and marshmallow. Malaga 
grapes are a fine addition to any of the 
above salads. 
Mayonnaise Dressing for Vegetable 
Salad. — Two tablespoons of oil, two 
rounding tablespoons of flour,'blend in a 
double boiler, fhen add one cup of cold 
water and % cup of vinegar. Cook until 
smooth, poor onto the well-beaten yolks 
of three eggs. After mixing well, turn 
the mixture* back into the double boiler 
and cook a few minutes longer. A little 
experience will teach you when it is 
just the right consistency} 7 . When this 
mixture is cold, add slowly, beating with 
an egg beater, one cup of oil and lemon 
juice to taste (about one or two table¬ 
spoons). Add a little mustard and pa¬ 
prika if you wish. This makes one pint 
of dressing and it will keep a week or 
two in a cool place. Canned string beans, 
asparagus, peas and nearly all the vege¬ 
tables that farm women have learned 
to can so successfully are nice used 
in salad; there is no end to the differ¬ 
ent combinations. F. E. vail. 
Crops for the Children 
Three children were recently interested 
in gardening by a gift of three packets 
of seed, whose charm lay in two pecu¬ 
liarities : theyy were not driblets from 
father’s or mother’s planting, but some¬ 
thing new, different, and entirely then- 
own; and each one promised a “crop” at 
the end of the season. Children, like 
their elders, love to grub in the soil, but 
like their elders they want something to 
show for it, and mere ephemeral flowers 
and vegetables (considerably inferior to 
the grown-ups’) are not at all satisfying. 
Ruth, the five-year-old, received a 
paper of Physalis seeds, and when she 
heard about the bright orange and scarlet 
seed-boxes, veritable Chinese lanterns in 
dollhouse size, that would follow the 
flowers—lanterns that could be hung up 
in her room, and would last all Winter— 
she could hardly wait for the frost to 
be out of the ground and the seed in it. 
It takes so little to captivate a five-year- 
old’s fancy, and tire her enthusiasm ! 
For Mildred, the most determined little 
eight-year-old that ever wielded a hoe, 
there were seeds of the finest modern 
strain of everlasting or strawflowers. 
Mildred can read, and though “Helichry- 
sum” was rather a mouthful she soon 
knew that that precious packet would 
produce big double flowers, white, red, 
yellow and purple, for Winter bouquets, 
and that they must be gathered before 
they were fully open and hung upside 
down to dry. To generous Mildred, her 
everlastings meant “a present for 
Mother.” 
Raymond, barely ten, was made happy 
by a package of gourd seed, with the 
promise of a strip of ground enriched 
by the wash from the chicken run, where 
the vines could clamber over the netting. 
Raymond will learn a great deal from 
those gourds. He will learn the require¬ 
ments of all of the squash tribe ; when to 
plant, how to deal with striped beetles 
and borers, when to cover the joints, a 
little about cross-fertilization. He will 
learn that gourds should he cured gradu¬ 
ally without freezing, and that if you 
write your name with a nail on the green 
rind, it will appear in raised letters on 
the ripe fruit. And before snow flies he 
will have a stock of nest-eggs, stocking- 
darners and miniature jack-o-lanterns to 
give away or sell to his schoolmates, with 
perhaps a dipper or a sugar bucket carved 
out, after many failures, with his beloved 
jackknife. 
Small ventures of this sort have a vital 
hearing on the problem of keeping the 
boys and girls on the farm.
