The thrifty housewife can make a
delicious dish of escalloped potatoes:
Peel and slice potatoes thin, same as
for irving. Butter an earthen dish, put
in a layer of potatoes, and season with
salt, pepper, butter, q bit of onion
chopped fine; sprinkle little -four.
Now put in another layer of potatoes
and the seasoning. Continue in this
way until the dish is filed. Just before
putting into the oven, pour cup of
milk over Bake three-quarters OF an
hour.
Where the grain is only to be used
for feeding, oats and peas are some
times grown together. The practice is
an excellent one, as the two grains will
produce more feed than either grown
separately They are also good when
cut green for soiling purposes or for
putting into the silo. Peas are strong,
rich feed, and their vines shade the
ground so completely that they act as q
mulch to the soil during the hottest
weather. Oats growing with peas keep
the vines of the latter from falling
down.
