They may be obtained in several sizes. The regular style butter cartons are used as containers for cottage cheese and serve well when the cheese does not contain surplus moisture or Is rather dry. Paraffin paper cups are especially desirable since they have g airtight covers which make them practically impervious to moisture and keep the cheese In a perfectly clean and sanitary condition. No additional wrapper or paper is required, although some retailers place such packages in paper bags as a matter of convenience to the customer. Demonstrates Good Advertising. Because of the lack of a general knowledge in some sections of the use of cottage cheese as a substitute for meat and as a substantial part of the menu, demonstrations and displays of attractive and appetizing dishes prepared from cottage cheese are desirable methods of extending Its qse. At grocery stores, food shows, and meetings of womens organizations, demonstrations of the many practical and attractive ways of preparing It may be given, samples may be served, and recipes in which cottage cheese la used may be distributed. Lectures also may be given on the food value of this cheese and Its use in the diet Such demonstrations and lectures may serve not only to extend a knowledge and appreciation of the value and uses of cottage cheese, but also of the many other ways of using milk. Recipes and material for lectures at demonstrations may be obtained free by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, The popular liking for cottage cheese, which is rapidly gaining favor in many parts of the country, presents new problems in marketing, say market specialists of the United States department of agriculture.

Many creameries, as well as dairymen and farmers, are producing cottage cheese as a side line, and find they can dispose of it readily. Cottage cheese is unlike butter In general characteristics, but may be merchandised in rnucb the same manner. It should be placed in a container that will not only protect it from contamination, but will also aid in preserving its qualities for a reasonable period. The most commonly used types of packages for retailing cottage cheese are the parchment paper wrapper, tinfoil wrapper, paper oyster pail, butter cartons, fiber board packages, and glass or earthenware The more desirable types of jars. cartons are those which offer the best protection against the entrance of air, since they protect the cheese from contamination and keep it In satisfactory condition until used. ... Wrapping Cottage Cheese. When a good grade of parchment paper is used and care Is used in wrapping It neatly around the cheese, It is an economical and serviceable package. Where quantities of a half pound or less are purchased, the small oil parchment paper bag, similar to that used for salted peanuts, has proved satisfactory. Tinfoil wrappers make a package that Is practically airtight, and protects the D. C. close-fittin- neat-appeari- t WHITE ANT IS CAUSE OF SERIOUS DAMAGE Little Insects Are Essentially Wood Destroyers. There Are Numerous Records of Injury to Young Fruit and Nut Tree Seedlings and to Young Trees Planted in Rich Soil. t Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Unless proper care is taken to tnake buildings white-an- t proof, and to eliminate these ants from buildings already established, the insects may cause serious damage, especially In the southern states. White ants, or termite, are essentially wood destroyers, and live in nests in the wood of dead trees, decaying logs or stumps In the forest; in the foundation timbers of buildings, fences and other structures of wood in contact with the ground; or in a labyrinth of underground passages in the earth usually underneath wood or vegetation. An average colony contains several thousand individuals, but r.wing to their subterranean habllr they frequently carry on their work unnoticed, and It Is sometimes very difficult to destroy them once they get established in a building. Though colonies are made up of both wingless and winged individuals, d the grayish white, wingless workers are the destructive form. These workers make the excavations and live underground, shun the light and are therefore rarely seen. Always coming up through underground passages, they work In the interior of the wood, and leave intact a protective outer shell, so that the dam soft-bodie- age is often unsuspected until beyond repair. They gain entrance to building. through wood which comes In contact with the ground. Flooring and other stationary woodwork and furniture frequently become infested when the wooden beams are laid directly on the earth or In moist concrete and are often reduced to mere shells, the interior being completely honeycombed. Always the ants prefer to work In dark, warm, moist places. White ants occasionally Injure large trees and shrubs. In Florida they have done notable damage to newly planted groves of orange trees, having eaten the bark about the collar and roots and completely girdled the trees. Similar damage has been recorded to other fruit and nut trees, especially In the southern states. In the South also ants occasionally injure the stems and roots of a great variety of grain and truck crops. Injury to corn In the prairie region of Kansas has resulted from the early presence of the Insects iu enormous quantities in heavily sodded soil where they feed on the roots of the vegetation. There are numerous records of ant Injury to young fruit and nut. seedlings In nurseries and tc other nursery stock, and to young trees planted in recently cleared ground or soil rich In humus. The ants also Injure a variety of shrubs, weeds and flowers In gardens as well as in greenhouses. Since white ants are difficult to eliminate from the woodwork of a building when once established every precaution should be taken to prevent their gaining entrance. Where possible, foundations of buildings should be entirely of stone, brick or concrete, including stone columns or pillars in the basement to support the floor above. Make the floors and walls in the basement or cellar of concrete and lay the floors on a gravel base. Where stone or concrete foundations are im practicable use timber Impregnated creosote with coal-ta- r Whereas, we believe that the work of exterminating predatory wild animals and rodents carried on under the direction of the biological survey during the past few years has been very successful, and that under the thorough organization and efficient plans of that bureau tills evil will be largely minimized. If not entirely removed, provided the different states will heartily with the federal government in its plan of work ; and Whereas at the present time the funds appropriated by congress for this purpose are wholly inadequate fo meet the real requirements of the biological survey in carrying on this work, and on that account the results obtained are not satisfactory in most sections of the West; and Whereas it Is our belief that the present laws of the states should be repealed, and in lieu thereof the various states should, through their several legislatures, enact laws appropriating sufficient money to equal the amounts to be expended by the federal government in the different states, and that such state appropriations Should be expended under the direction of the biological survey, to be handled in conjunction with the funds appropriated by congress; therefor, be it Resolved by the Ttew Mexican Cattle and Horse Gfowers association, in convention assembled at Albuquerque, N. M., March 25, 26 and 27, 1919, that we urge congress to appropriate the additional sum of $300,000 for immediate use in the extermination of predatory wild animals and rodents, and that we petition the various states to make appropriations at least equal to the amounts expended by the federal government In the various states, said money, both federal and state, to be expended under the direction of the biological survey. This question of predatory wild animals and rodents which are also predatory animals in the true sense of the w rd, inasmuch as they raid and pillage the crops is a serious one in many parts of the West. The case of New Mexico is typical ; so the remarks of Representative Hernandez of New Mexico concerning the situation are of interest. He said in part ; One of the serious problems confronting those engaged in promoting increased production of food crops and meat animals was the tremendous damage to growing crops and to range grasses caused by prairie dogs and other rodents, and the loss of cattle, sheep, and poultry from wild animnls. Investigations by the United States biological survey show that the annual losses in the United States from predatory wild animals amounted to several hundred million dollars, and the loss from rodents Is probably greater. The annual loss in New Mexico was variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty-fmillion dollars. The method ive used by the biological survey has been perfected by years of Investigation and experimenting and Is very successful. The kill of prairie dogs is generally from 85 to 95 per cent by the use of poisoned oats. They followed up the work by using poisoned rolled barley and later by using fumigants, such as bisulphide of carbon, with which, if carefully and thoroughly' used, a good start has been made.

I have before me now a partial report made by the men in charge of this work In the southwestern part of the country through the council of defense of the state of New Mexico. In the spring of 1918 the governor of the state authorized the uss oi the fund known in our state e war fund, and under an agree-:n- t covering the plan for the work as executed. Under this agreement $10,000 of this amount. In conjunction with an equal amount by the department of agriculture, was set aside and applied in reducing losses In live stock due to predatory wild animals, an increased force of hunters was placed in the field, trapping was resorted to by this experiment; the results have been very satisfactory. State hunters have a total of 1,972 days, at a cost of $5,741.44. They have taken 642 coyotes, 124 bob cats, 14 gray wolves, 5 predatory bears, Including 3 grizzlies. The average cost of animals in June was $88.87 ; In July, $8.53; August, $5.93. The government operations in the state during the same In periods cost $9,225.70, and resulted 77 bob 417 cats, of coyotes, the killing 41 gray wolves, 13 mountain lions, 2 bears. No reasonable estimate of damage inflicted by predatory animals that has been advanced can show anything other than the return on this Investment of a very high rate of Interest. The estimate generally accepted and it is conservative, Indeed, in view of the present high value of live stock Is that each gray wolf destroys annually $1,000 worth of live stock ; each mountain lion, $500; each coyote and bob cat, $50 worth; predatory bears with may be rated in the same class On this basis the saving repwolves. work is resented in this exnearly nine times the amount of that observe will Thus you penditure. the estimated saving to the people of the nation, you might state, Is $131,500, at a cost of about $20,000. While the facts presented by the New Mexican representative are not clearly arranged, they afford a glimpse of the situation that prevails pretty much all over the far West, and the whole nation Is Interested, too, as Mr. Fernandez said in closing; We are all Interested in that industry. We send our wool 20,000,000 or 25.000,000 pounds to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston, so that those merchants can have that product, which will increase the employment of their people.
