PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1931. P u I Si S 'J Sauerkraut Is Low Cost By the tturean of Home Economic U. 8. Department of Agriculture. With the approach of the season for making sauerkraut the bureau of home economic of the TJ. 8. depart ment of agriculture calla attention to He place In the low coat diet. The manufactured product rangu In price from about 0 to 100 a quart, depend ' Ing on whether It la purchased In J hulk or In cane. The homemade pro- - duot coeta even leas. Since one quart ' of aauerkraut la sufficient to serve five persona. It la a very Inexpensive - vegetable. Moat persona think of aauerkraut aa - native to Germany. But the more I probable origin waa among the Slavic . peoples of eastern Europe, who In turn Introduced It into northern and . Central Europe. The Germans, how ever, aeem to have been the first to develop efficient methods for Its pro- , ductlon and to atudy the processes Involved In Its fermentation. For aauerkraut la no mare than shredded cabbage that baa undergone lactic fermentation In the brine made from Its own Juice by the addition of aalt. Bauerkiaut la wholesome and epe tuslng. It la valuable, primarily, aa an ' additional leafy vegetable product for winter when the diet of most per. sons consists too largely of concentra ted forma of food. Because of chem - leal changes which take place In the process of fermentation the flavor la : oecldedly different from raw cabbage, In fact, many persons find aauer kraut the more palatable of the two for this reason. Sauerkraut has little nutritive value as measured by cal- orles but It supplies several of the es sential minerals necessary for human nutrition. Sauerkraut does not furnish as much of vitamins A, B, and O as raw cabbage. But It Is a fair source of all v three of these elements which are - essential for resistance to bacterial Infection and for maintenance of ap petite and growth. Sauerkraut suggests pig's knuckles, spars ribs, and frankfurters, but there are other uses for this appetis ing food, the bureau points out. It may serve aa a basis tor a one-dish meal such as Is listed In today's menu. Combined with cheese and left over mashed potatoes It makea a sat isfying and low cost dish that la eas ily and qulokly prepared. Savory sauerkraut Is msds by beating a quarter of a cupful of fat in a skil let and then adding a quart of aauer kraut and one-fourth of a teaspoon of celery or caraway aeed. This is mixed well and covered while being cooked for flvs minutes. Sauerkraut can bs caaked In cas serole with alternate layers of nood les and a top layer of ground pork aauaage. It may alao be tried or com - blned with bacon, ham, or any oured meat. Whan potatoes are to be com bined with aauerkraut It le better 'o precook them separately be cause the acid of the kraut Is likely to make the potatoes a trifle hard. In some sections of the south, sauerkraut is always served with turkey while In Europe It steps out of ths modest tola, so ottsn associated with It here, to serve aa the accompaniment for partridge, pheasant, goose liver pat ties, liver dumplings, fried liver and baked pike. For those who may wish to utilise ths surplus cabbage by making aauer kraut at horn there are two depart ment publications which are avail able for ths aaklng. These are "Mak ing Fermented Pickles," "Fanners' Bulletin H3B-F;" and "The Commer cial Production of Sauerkraut," Cir cular 35-c, The first of these contains all the formation essential tor mak ing sauerkraut at home while the second goes Into greater detail necas aary tor putting the product on the market. Almost any variety of cabbage may be used for making sauerkraut but ths alow growing and solid-headed varieties are preferable. The oabbage ahould be fully matured before it la cut, otherwise the product will show defects In color and texture. Stone Jare make the beet con tain are tor the making of sauerkraut at home. Alter the oabbage la shredded, It la placed In the Jars alternately with the aalt In the proportion of on pound of aalt to every 40 pounds of cabbage. The oabbage ehould be( packed firmly In the Jar, covered with a clean cloth and a board or plats on which la placed a weight heavy enough to cause ths brine to come up to the cover. The Jar ahould be kept at a tem perature of about 80 degrees P. so ; that fermentation can take place, a process which requires about 10 days. Ths acum should be skimmed off aa It forma, alnoe It tends to destroy the acidity. The bureau advises against the danger of expoelng the aauerkraut af ter It Is made for It la not lmper vloua to contamination, although many persona think It la.

Sports Wear Dulls Its Colors to Blend With Autumn Shades By Diana Merwln (Associated Press Fashion Editor) PARIS (AP) Brilliant trl-oolor combinations, which marked summer' sports togs, have been tossed Into the discard by the fall sports mode. Bright reds, blue and greens, have given way to brown and heather mix tures blending with the autumn col oring of golf links and moors. The ensemble Idea la predominant since frocks matoh ths coata with which they are worn or reflect a har monious shade of the same color. Coata are often unturred, designed with snug scarf collars and roomy sleeves. A vogus for belts and buttons Is another new note. Buttons are used botti as fastenings and aa cuff and pocket ornaments, while snug leather belt are aeen on both frocks and coata.
