Stitt«»« departin«>nt of agriculture.
This product la enay to make and util-

Cottnife ch«*«»ae la one o f the Inqxir-
tant meat aubatltutea. It contalna a
larger percentage of protein (the chief
material for body building) than moat
oieata and furnl«h«>a thla material at
a lower c«>at. In every pound of cot­
tage ch«'e«e there la alxiut one-flfth of
a pound of protein. n«*nrly all of which
la dlg«»atlble.
Mcata, on the other
hand, usually contain leas protein and
bealdca have a certain waste, such as
bone and other Inedible material. A
pound of c«»ttnge chaste «lally would
supply all the protein required by the
ordinary adult engag«*d In a sedentary
occupation.
The following tnble shows that cot­
tage rh«»ese la much cheaper than
menta In furnishing protein for the
diet.
For supplying protein, 1 pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
1.00 pounds round steak.
1.37 pounds chuck rib beef.
1.B2 pounds fowl.
1.40 pounds fresh ham.
1.44 pounds smok«*«l hatn.

FEEDING SCRAPS j|

By feeding kitchen scraps to poul­
try the Inst bit of waste of huinun f«x>d
may be converted Into g«xxl fr«»sh eggs
or meat, as may be «leslml, says the
U. 8. Department «if Agriculture.
Fowls will eat all the leavings that
are In edible form, lly special prep­
aration some things not ndnpted to
human consumption become valuable
fe«*<l for poultry. Fresh bones, crush­
ed or ground, arc a delicacy for them.
They will eat considerable amounts «if
the parings of nil kinds of vegetables
If these nre given In such form that
the birds can swallow them readily.
Many poultry ke«»pers save parings.
Cook them with small potatoes and
other waste vegetables, and fed mlxtHl
with meals.
Not all kitchen waste, howover,
mukes poultry fed.
The skins of
bananas, oranges and lemons are not
edible and should not be mixed with
acraps that are to bo fed to poultry,
for the birds l«»nve yich stuff, and as
It accumulates It ronkes the place
where the they nre fed look slovenly.
Coffee grounds, and tea leaven In small
quantities are nob objectionable, but
In large qunnfttlcs should he disposed

should not be put with scraps for poul­
try because a h«>n can swallow a much
larger piece of fat than Is good for
her. By cutting waste fat In pieces
In addition to protein, energy for
performing Ixxly work must be fur­

ergy. also, cottxge cln»«-s<» (■ < Vaper

following table shows the comparison
when energy Is consider«»«!.
On the basis o f en«»rgy supplied, 1
pound of cottage che«»se e«]uals:
H 1-3 ouncea sirloin steak.
11*4 ounces round steak.

544 ouncea fresh ham.
6

1244 ounces br«»aat of veal.
A yield of 13 or more pounda of cot­
tage cheese from 100 pounds o f aklm
milk can r«»iidlly be obtained, or a mix­
ture of two parta skim milk and one
of buttermilk wilt give the same re­
sults.
The wholesale price on moat
established markets varies from 444

no larger than one would cut for him­
self Ht the table, nnd by making sure
that the fat does not exceed 10 per
cent o f the acraps fed at one time the
dangers In fowling It Hre avoided.
The best way to save kitchen waste
fur poultry Is to keep a one-gallon Jar,
of glii7.«‘d. or gulvanlzed war«», with a
cover In a convenient place, putting ln-
t«i this scraps of br<»ad, <»ake, and meat
from the table, remnants o f servings
•>f vegetables, cereals, pies, puddings,
etc., and whatever waste from the
preparation of meals Is suitable to
combine with these things In a mash.

The amount
