With small grinders and motors, the overhead part of the cost will be very small, espe cially where the farmer lives a consid. erable distance from a custom mill and where roads are very bad. By using small mills and well-designed automatic feeding devices, the labor cost of feed grinding can be almost aliminated cost Is Custom Layering. next fall or in the spring of 1930.

Traced to Crusaders The sword salute originated in the time of the Crusaders when the hilt of the sword was made In the form of a cross, Every Crusader kissed the cross as a seal of his purpose and faith and swore by the hilt of the sword, raising it to his lips for that purpose. Another custom passed down to the ages from the Crusaders, and one that has been a custom in all Christian navies since then, Is that of placing an officer's cap and sword on his coffin during burial services, The Crusader's shield and arms ecov- ered him In death, Preserving Rose Scent Attar of roses is obtalned by dls- tillation from small white roses, known ns Musata, and a dark red variety, known as Rosa Damascena. Usually It takes 180 pounds of rose petals to make an ounce of rose oll, but twice this amount has been used at times, depending upon the quality of flowers and the climatic conditions at harvest time, The harvesting of the roses occurs during the latter part of May and the beginning of June. A good harvest lasts about twenty-five days and re- Pie Making as Home Industry Is Passing “The mincing of meat in ples sav- eth the grinding of the teeth,” wrote Bacon. “The devil speed him.

As far back as the Fifteenth century the ple was used as a theme for comedies, “The Ple and the Tart,” in France, and in later years “The Ple Dish” and the “Ple In the Oven,” In England. “The ple,” wrote Harrlet Jeechgr Stowe in “Oldtown,” “is an English in- stitution which, planted on American soll, forthwith ran rampart and broke forth Into an incredible variety of genera and specles.” The ple, as a breakfast dish, is dls. appearing from American tables, bt remains in popular favor for luncheon and dinner.
