INSTEAD OF MEAT
SOME SUBSTITUTES FOR THE
HIGHEST-PRICED FOOD.
V
Expert Gives Advice That Is Well
Worth Following at Thle Time
When Provisions Are Gener
ally at a High Figure.
(By MISS BAB BELL, Missouri Collega
of Agriculture.)
The high meat bill Is a great cause
of the high cost of living. Many people
believe that meats are absolutely nec
essary, and they do have the advan
tage of having a good flavor and being
very easily and quickly cooked, but
many of us would have bigger pocket
books and better health if we spent for
meat only a sixth instead of a third of
what we pay for food. One of the
members of the home economics fac
ulty of the University of Missouri
goes home to the farm every summer,
where her father and brothers are do
ing plenty of hard outdoor work. She
gives her mother a vacation, takes
charge in the kitchen herself and feeds
the household to a large extent on
meat substitutes, which they seem to
find 'Well adapted to their needs.
Fish Is not as good a meat substitute
as many people believe. For while it
seems less heavy, it is not less likely
to form objectionable acids, but milk,
milk products and eggs are good things
to use instead of so much meat. A
quart of milk or eight or nine eggs has
about as high a food value as a pound
of the best steak, but on most markets
will cost much less. Other wholesome
dishes which should be used to take
the place of meat are soups, cottage
cheese, cream sauces, variously fla
vored puddings made of milk and
cereal of different kinds, and countless
other economical, nutritious, easily di
gested dishes which any good house
wife knows how to prepare.
Boiled eggs cooked in water below
the boiling point are not as hard to dl'
gest aa many people believe, but If
cooked in very hot water they are more
likely to be leathery and hard to di
gest. Fried eggs are also more di
gestible if cooked slowly.
Nuts are becoming more popular as
meat substitutes, although many kinds
of nuts are not cheaper than meat if
bought on the market at present
prices. On many farms, however, it
is merely a matter of picking up hick
ory nuts, hazelnuts or walnuts, instead
of letting the hogs get them, and on a
great many others It is a very easy
matter to raise peanuts enough for the
family and have plenty to fatten a few
hogs.
Those who wish to try some meat
substitute dishes can secure directions
for making them by writing to the Mis
souri college of agriculture at Colum
bia. We Include here two tried at the
college:
Cottage Cheese Use sour milk that
has set. Warm It slowly in a double
boiler, if one is at hand, until the whey
separates from the curd. Then strain
through cheesecloth; chop fine, mix
with milk or cream and season to taste.
Be careful not to heat too long or too
hot before straining, or the curd will
be tough.
Croamed Fish in Rice Cases Line a
buttered mold about a quarter of an
Inch thick with boiled rice. Fill with
chopped or boned salmon or other fish,
to which thick white sauce has been
added. Brown slightly in the oven,
turn from the mold and serve.
The Sanitary Kitchen Shelf.
Rip the oilcloth and the perforated
paper off the kitchen shelves and
4 paint them if you value cleanliness
and health. Water bugs and roaches
and ants make the coziest homes In
the warm corners of covered shelves,
while they find odorous, freshly paint
ed shelves far too cheerless for do
mestic purposes. , By the time the
paint is dry the prospective tenants
will have nettled elsewhere. And rec
ollect the saving in paper, bug pow
der and time in cleaning.
Grapefruit Cocktail.
Pare grapefruit, being sure to re
move all the white portion. Cut fruit
in sections, then crosswise in pieces.
Sweeten with sugar. Add an equal
amount of oranges cut In same Bize
pieces. Cut a slice from the top of six
bell peppers, and remove seeds and
partitions from inside. Fill with
ovwige and grapefruit.
Fricasseed Veal.
Try this sometime for a cheap dish:
Three pounds veal cut in small pieces.
Boil till tender. Fry two or three
slices salt pork till fat is all out, and
put in vea! and broth. Add butter,
salt and pepper. Let it boil, then take
out meat and thicken gravy. Pour
over the meat.
Carrots and Peas Creamed.
Scrub and cut into dice enough car
rots to make a pint. Let stand in cold
water for half an hour. Drain and
cook in an uncovered kettle of boiling
water until carrots are tender. (Old
carrots require about one-quarter of
an hour.) Add a pint of peas and a
plut of cream sauce.
When Cooking Greens.
When greens are cooked, add a tiny
pinch of baking soda to the first water
In which they are parboiled for five
minutes. Drain this water off and re
place It with fresh water for the final
cooking.
Yellowness In Clothes.
Three things will cause whits
clothes to yellow the Iron in the wa
ter, a too free use of soda, or Improper
rinsing.
KEEPING HORSE'S NECK WELL
Much May Be Done to Prevent Sore
Shoulder by Good Fitting Col
lar and Hames.
A good collar, fitting the horse's
neck, and hames adjusted to fit the col
lar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says Dr. M. H. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota college
of agriculture. Sore shoulders can be
prevented easily by a little care at the
right time. i
'Collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose hames sawing
back and forth until the top of the
shoulder la raw.
"Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug
gests Dr. J. C. Curryer's plan of soak
ing the collar a day or two in water
just before it Is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking, the collar
will adjust itself to the horse's shoul
ders. "Prevention," he says, "is easier
than cure," but there are several sim
ple remedies recommended. "White
lead ground in oil is good. Stove
blacking Is a useful remedy. It forms
a smooth surface over the sore, thus
preventing chafing, and has mildly
astringent properties."
BIRDS CHECK ALFALFA PEST
Investigations by Experts Develop Fact
That Meadow Lark Devours Many
Harmful Insects.
(By E. R. KALMBACH.)
The western meadow lark is a fa
miliar bird of the Great Basin, and
Judging from early records is becom
ing more numerous In this section as
time goes on. Being a resident the
year around, it is a common visitor
to alfalfa fields as soon as snow leaves.
During a series of careful tests 27
of those birds were collected in April,
and the weevil, which was found to
comprise oneixth of their food, was
present in all but seven. One bird
had taken 75 adults, another 6Q, and
three others 51, 48 and 33 respectively
Other animal food Is important, as
the largest single item was caterpil
lars, amounting to nearly 22 per cent.
Ground beetles amounted to about one-
eighth of the food.
Examinations show' that, at least
from April to July, this bird is not a
Western Meadow Lark.
menace to grain, in the districts wfcere
the experiments were made. On th
other hand, its being a resident the
year round makes it a valuable asset
as a destroyer of hibernating insects,
especially the alfalfa weevil. Without
doubt, the meadow lark should receive
the fullest protection.
PORTABLE CRIB IS FAVORED
Great Convenience In Feeding Hogs
In Distant Fields Save Feeder
Many Extra Eteps.
Portable corncribs holding from 100
to 200 bushels are a great convenience
In the summer feeding of hogs, espe
cially when the animals are being
kept In a distant field. Even when
they are fed In yards, the portable
cribs will save the feeder many steps
If the cribs are built on skid3, the
feeding may be distributed in summer
bo as to keep the feeding lots more
wholesome and the manure hotter dis
tributed. Many farmers use a wagon
but when left standing out in all kinds
of weather, the wagon box soon goes
to pieces. A portable crib costs little
and will answer the purpose better
than a wagon. The crib should be
constructed of light yet strong mate
rial
WHY SHEEP SHOULD BE KEPT
Animals Consume Waste Products
Around Farm Clean Up Every,
thing In Good Form.
Sheep should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound not only in the form of weeds
but in the form of grasses of various
kinds. These are found numerously
in the grain fields after the grain has
been reaped. They are found in the
highways beside the farms, and they
are found along fence borders what
soever may be the build of these. The
sheep that are given access to these
will virtually clean up everything and

would otherwise be wasted, at least it

RAISING TOMATO CROP
mportant That Large Stalky
Plants Be Used.
Well-Prepared, Fertile Soil la Neces
sary and Transplant In Such Man
ner as to Insure Minimum
Check In Growth.
(By N. EDGERTON, Michigan.)
The tomato is essentially a seed bed
plant. To Becure a long period of
ripening the seed must be sown in
forcing beds several weeks in advance
of the time, when it may safely be set
in the open field. Our rule 1b from
eight to ten weeks.
To secure profitable crops in the
northern latitudes It Is essential that
large stalky plants be used and that
they be set in a well-prepared, fertile

soil, the transplanting being done in
such a manner as to Insure the mini
mum check in growth.
Two or three transplantings while
in plant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, stalky plants with a
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
of earth about four Inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
a half or four feet apart and space
the plants 16 to 18 inches in the row
Each plant is confined to a single
branch and trained to a stake. Strong
twine Is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used just below each cluster.
The string is first made secure to
the stake, a single knot will usually
answer and then the stalk IndOBed.
a double knot being necessary in this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks.
A lateral will appear at each leaf
joint and these must be removed at
once in order that' the entire strength
of the plant be directed into the
growing of the single stalk and the
development of the fruit cluster there
on.
In our own experience we have
found that this method of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
ods. FlrBt, a gain is made in securing
early maturity of fruits; second, the
fruit Is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not so many indi
vidual fruits aa where permitted to
branch freely, there is a gain in size
and a very decided gain in the number
of perfect specimens.
The fruit being held suspended, the
influence of the sun'B rays reaches
every portion of its surface, resulting
in higher and more perfect coloring

than Is ever secured when the fruit
comes in contact with the ground or
its mulched surface.
Furthermore, air and sunlight have
free access to every portion of leaf
surface, promoting activity in cellular
tissues and health In these tissues as
well. We found that grown by this
method there 1b scarcely any inclina
tion toward rotting in the fruit.
To secure the greatest benefit from
this method through earlier maturing
fruit It Is essential that the plants be
extra large and strong.
PROTECT TOOLS FROM RUST
Mixture of Lard and Common Resin
Is Recommended Apply Thin
Coating to Surface.
It Is a hard matter to keep the tools
that have been laid away for the
winter from rusting, and any remedy
ought to be welcomed by the farmer.
The following has been recommended
and there does not seem to be any
reason why it should not do the
work:
Take a quantity of good lard, add
about two ounces of common resin,
melt them alowly together, stirring as
they cool. This may be applied with
a brush or a cloth, just enough to give
a thin coating to the metal surface to
be protected.

Kitchener's Work for the Empire.
Kitchener will be remembered for
four great constructive works of or
ganization, carried out in Egypt, South
Africa, India and England. In each
case his work was creative and revolu
tionary in conception, and carried out
with the utmost precision in every
least detail. No man touched the
world-extended British Empire at
more points, or touched it with such
decisive, fateful effect. It may be
said, Indeed, that the integrity of the
Empire, in the twentieth century, is
the work of Kitchener. Four dangers
arose, in regions separated by vast
continental spaces; in each region,
Kitchener met the danger, piercingly
diagnosed the cause, patiently and
courageously overcame it. Every hon
or within the power of his countrymen
to give him was offered to Kitchener;
yet all honors fall short of his im
mense attainment. From "Kitchener
