Highways To Health STRETCH THAT 16-POINT FLAVOR Many variations of the "whipped butter" served as a delicacy in pre war French restaurants are being tried out in, American home Kit chens to make buttter rations go farther. Gelatin, milk,' light cream and egg are all possibilities as ex tenders to whip into butter and, if properly made, the mixtures have a fresh butter flavor and a soft light texture that makes them easy to spread. The mixtures are useful only as a spread, not as substitutes for butter in frying or in cake or cook ie making. There are important rules to fol low to make these extenders. Have the butter soft but not melted and the cream or milk lukewarm. Add liquid to butter "gradually while whipping slowly with'an egg beater. Chill the mixture to make it firm before serving. One successful spread to make one pound do where you had two before may be made by adding 1 egg, 1 cup cream, and V2 teaspoon of salt to Vz pound of butter. Soften the butter by leaving it for several Jtioua at room temperature. Then beat until light and fluffy. Drop in the salt and whole egg and beat well. Heat the cream just to luke warm, then add it gradually while beating. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator. - Another suggestion is to use a salied but unsweetened custard 2 egg yolks to one cup of milk and ' combine it with an equal measure of butter softened to room temper ature. The almost cold custard is beaten into the butter a little at a time. Salt is added if necessary. This can,' even be used in sand wiches for it does not become run ny and soggy )if lunch boxes are left at room temperature. Here are a few hints, for spread ing the butter thin: Prevent the waste of little dabs that cling to plates and are washed off.. ' Make butter pats smaller or no more than will be consumed. Restore the family butter dish, and let each person help himself. Butter the rolls in the kitchen. Put butter directly on bread or toast. Don't add butter to vegetables in cooking utensils add it in the serving dish. And to add a thought for the New Year.

Heppner Gazette Times, January 6, 19445 Rigid Culling of Laying Flocks in January Important Rigid culling of laying flocks this January will be unusually import ant as a means of reducing flocks in line with feed supplies and in of fering more efficient and profitable production according to County Agent C. D. Conrad. Poultry pro ducers of Morrow county, as well as those in the entire nation are (faced with an adjustment problem this spring, he says Information on both the national and state January culling campaign has baen received)-fey the county agent from Noel Bennion, extension poultry specialist at Oregon State college, who also makes some sug gestions on culling procedures. Oregon has expanded her produc-. tion of chickens, eggs and turkeys to such an extent in response to national demands that some reduc tion is suggested in state goals for 1944. These goals call for 4 percent fewer eggs, 1 percent fewer chickens raised, 26 percent less broiler pro duction, and 8 percent fewer tur keys raised for meat. From the national standpoint it is hoped through January culling to reduce an estimated 520 million hens and pullets by approximately 50 million. If Oregon poultrymen will reduce flocks to the approximate number on hand in January a year Your Personal Representative Is Your Be Sure It Shows You jat Your Best Fine papers for business letters as well as informal and formal notes. Headings and monograms to order. GAZETTE TIMES PRINTERY ago, they will obtain more efficient egg production and conserve vital feedstuffs, Bennion suggests. This can be done by eliminating older birds not in laying condition and by removing undersized, slow maturing pullets. A ready market is available for these as soon as culled and with no (further f eeding.- Bennion also calls ' attention to present indications that turkey breeders are planning to carry over even more breeding hens this year than the record number a year ago. The sane holds true of other Pa cific coast states and even other parts of the country. While there is a strong demand for hatching eggs from Oregon broadbreasted flocks, which insures a good market for early eggs, there is some question about the . later season market. Excess breeders can be sold at a profit now whereas if too many are kept, there may be difficulties with inadequate feed supplies and a possible short season of egg demand. 2ND DAIRY FEED PAYMENT Morrow county dairy farmers may start presenting sales evidence now to the county AAA office to receive their dairy feed program payments for November and De cember announces C. D. Conrad, county agent Farmers who did not apply for the October payments may include October sales evidence in their applications for the November-December payment Pay ments amount to 35 cents per cwt. on whole milk sales and 4 cents a pound on butterfat sales. : e INSTALLATION POSTPONED Sans Souci Rebekah lodge will meet in regular session Friday eve ning, Jan 7.
