HOW TO WATER

for Ten Minutes Every

By F. H. KRAMER.

Some people water their plants rep7,-

result is the plants become diseased and
sOOn die and their owners wonder why
Others water their plants very often

plants also fail and they do not IN

examine the soil. they would readily
see, by their httle-and-often svs+er, -

r. VERY homemaker II the country
~ knows the sweet potato and vel
comes its advent just at the
season when the summer yegeta-
bles are beginning TO be scarce.
Many housewives are under the i'm
preston that this vegetable takes the
place Of the white, or Irish, potato in
food value. but this Is not the case II
possesses a little less water and protein
and has considerably more starches and
sugars than the white potato.
The proportion of sugar in the sweet
potato varies with different varieties.
The very sweet, syrupy yams are the
more popular variety in the South, and
possess a great quantity Of sugar. The
dry, starchy sweet potato is the favorite
Of the Northern markets, and possesses
a greater quantity Of starch.
Big Waste In PAIRING.
When pared for table preparation
about 20 per cent Of the total weight is
removed with the skins.
There has been a considerable differ
ence OF opinion as TO the length Of time
q sweet potato should be cooked, some
claiming a short period and others that
the best result are obtained when the
vegetable Is cooked for a longer time
The latter theory has the greater num-
Der of advocates.
In experimental work reported to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture on this subject, uniform tubers OF
medium size were baked for twenty,
forty, and sixty minutes.
Contrary to the usual suppOsition, the
long baking made the potato more
moist, sweeter, and more palatable.
The Tuskegee experiment station has
Issued a bulletin concerning the culti-
walton and uses Of the sweet potato, in
GLIDING some valuable recipes, OF which
the following are a few:
Sweet Potato Pie.
For pie the sweet potato should be
boiled in the skin. When tender the
skin should be removed, the potatoes
mashed and beaten until light. To each
cup Of potato add one-half cup OF milk,
one-half cup of cream. two well-beaten
eggs, three-QuaTters of a teacup OF
sugar Tor a smaller quantity If the DO
tatoes are very sweet, and season with
cinnamon and ginger, or other spices, TO

xvIII-PAPA AND MAMMA GET BACK HOME

VOC remember told you some nights
ago how it was that Johnnie and
Billie Bushytail had 10 live with their
grandpa and grandma and Jennie Chip
munk. II was because Papa and Ma
ma Bushtyail had been captured by a
boy and put into a cage with q wheel
that went around faster than the fast
est merry-go-round you ever saw.
Well, now am going to tell you how
the squirrels escaped from the cage.
The boy who had them was
very kind to them. and gave them
nice nuts to eat, but still they
wished they could be free, to run about
in the woods, and even the wheel that
went around did not make them forget
their little squirrel children.
SO one day, after the boy had fed
his pets and cleaned the cage, what do
you think happened? Why. he forgot
10 fasten the door. Yes. sir, that's Just
what he did, I'm not fOOltnR q bit He
went out Of the room, and left the cage
door open. and Papa BushytaI saw
that II was swinging to and fro.
Come on. quick" he called to Nam
ma Bushytail.. This is the very chance
we have been LOOKING for We vii run
out and go back TO our dear children
and Grandpa and Grandma Lightfoot
and Jennie Chipmunk"

tail. and she felt so badly that a tear
came in each eve. and fell into the
drinking water.
''Oh, wen find a way" replied her
husband. Come on now. Rum
So out they ran. faster than an eIe-
plant running after a peanut and a
lump Of sugar. They scrambled out of
the cage to the table. down to the
Moor; and my. what good luck they
did have! II there wasn't a window
open In the room. They jumped right
out OF the window on a porch and from
there they could easily reach a tree.
Oh. how glad they were 20 be In a tree
again They had thought they never
again would run W and down the
branches and hide under the leaves.

Bushytail. I can find it,"

Then Papa Bushytail ran TO the very
TOP OF the tree. until he could see the
Orange mountains, where he used to
live. He caught a glimpse Of them. a
long way off. and then he and his wife
hurried toward them as fast as they
could 20. And. oh, how very glad they

This quantity is sufficient for two or
three pies.
A pie may also be made with sliced
sweet potatoes which are parboiled IN
til two-thirds done and then sliced
lengthwise very thin after removing the
skins. The sliced potatoes should be
placed in a deep layer in a dish lined
with pie crust and sprinkled with
ground allspice and a little ginger,
cloves, and nutmeg. Before adding the
top crust small pieces of butter should
be scattered over the potatoes. A tea
cupfm Of sugar, one-half teacupful Of
molasses. and one-half pint or cream
should be poured over the pie. small
Jumps OF butter scattered over the top,
and the whole busted sparfngly with
