EXPERT TELLS ABOUT SALADS
Some OF the Fine Points That Must
Be Observed to Insure Per.
fection

Expert advice on the making of
salads was given by Hermann Sem,
described as a master of his SUBJ
ject," at the Horticultural hall, Lon
don, England.
According to this authority all salad
plants must be thoroughly washed but
not soaked. Then they must be
drained and torn, not cut into shreds.
Above all, he urged. never cut up the
materials with a steel knife When
the shredding is accomplished put the
whole into a salad basket, or into a
cloth and swing thoroughly to remove
the superfiuous moisture. Dressing
should be done as near as possible to
the time when the salad is required
for the table.
Mr.. Sem added: "A good way to
flavor with garlic is to place a piece
of toasted bread in the salad bowl
cut piece of garlic and rub the toast
with 1t. That is all You then place
the salad on top of the bread, and II
acquires just the delicate soupcon OF
garlic which is desired"

Feeding for Milk
Copyright. 1910. by Western Newspaper Union
Keeping the Dairy Herd Up to tho
Maximum Production in Cold Weather
BY P r OF. G. C. II U NJ P II r Z
Wiseonsin College Of Agriculture

1t is easy to make cows give an
abundant flow Of milk In spring and
summer when pastures are luxuriant
and the days warm, but in the severe
winter months the greatest skill of the
feeder is demanded to keep up the pro-
duction of the dairy herd. BY buying
plenty Of expensive feeds 1t is possible
to do this. but that removes the profits
and the problem is, how to get large
production of milk from an economical
system Of feeding.
Many dairymen make a great mis-
take in not keeping enough grain and
roughage to carry their herds through
the winter. Instead they sell grain
and roughage in large amounts and
as result find themselves handi.
capped for feed before spring pasture
Is available. Unless man grows
enormous crops, this sale of farm prod.
uct In its original form not only robs
the soil of fertility but also is a false
economy. for the reason that In late
winter the farmer has to buy feed at
high prices when the supply is scarce
or has to sell his cattle because of
lack of feed for them.
Much wiser is the dairy farmer
who fills his feed bins and his silo or
his root cellar and feeds their con.
tents to his herd during the winter
He markets his produce in the form
OF milk and besides realizing a good
profit from 1t also has the use Of the
manure from the herd to return to his
fields. A money value is realized
from the grains and also a fertilizine

FOR SUCCESS WITH POTATOES
Happy-Go-Lucky Cooking VIII Not Do
Care In Preparation Is Well
Repaid.

Soak old potatoes in water.
Change the water while cooking, II
strong.
Never allow potatoes to stand in
the sun.
Always pour off the water as soon
as done and remove the cover to al
low the steam to escape
Potatoes cooked in their Jackets
should be pierced to allow the steam
to escape.
Baked potatoes should be rolled in
cloth till skins burst. This pre-
vents the potatoes from cooking too
long. which makes them sticky and
soggy.
Potatoes should be simmered (not
boiled). 1t is waste of fuel and
spoils the potatoes. Too rapia boiling
makes them solid paste which is
both unpalatable and indigestible.
Cook potatoes with the skins or as
often as possible. Potatoes are delic-
ious cooked in their jackets. peeled
and mashed
Potatoes may be kept warm long
time without spelling, if the skins are
broken anu the kettle well ventilated.

ServInu Potatoes,

A delicious way Of serving potatoes
is the following: Boil and mash 12
medium sized white potatoes, using
one tablespoonful Of butter instead Of
milk. When they are nearly cold add
the yolks Of three eggs. one teaspoon
full of grated nutmeg. and six drops of
onion Juice. Stir these ingredients to-
gether until they are smooth. Make
up into small cone shaped croquettes
and stand away to harden. When they
are firm roll them in the beaten white

in deep boiling fat until light
brown.

Kitchen Dresser.

If your kitchen table is spotted with
grease, or If the dresser has dabs and
spots of grease on 1t, you can clean
the woodwork perfectly by scrubbing
it vigorously with hot water to which
a teaspoonful of whiting has been
added.
Wipe thoroughly dry with clean
cloth and the wood will be as good
as new.
When tables or dressers are cover
ed with white oilcloth provide yourself
with thick mats of cardboard or asbes-
tos on which to set hot plates. for
heat will surely ruin any oilcloth with
which it comes directly In contact

lightened or extended by the use Of
bran. shorts. oil meal or some other
feed Of light character"
An investigation of problems con-
nected with the feeding of the Wis
consin College Of Agriculture dairy
herd, which has been conducted du.
ring the past nine years. furnishes ad.
ditional evidence with regard to the
proper protein supply of rations for
dairy cows on Wisconsin farms and
in other northwestern states. This in
vestigation frd practical feeding ex-
perience In this country have shown
that nutritive ration of lie or even
IL. which is wider than that of 1:5.4
recommended by the German investi.
gators, can be used successfully. The
teachings Of many carefully planned
and conducted experiments and the
experience OF dairy farmers who
have paid special attention to the
question Of the relative economy of
the different kinds of feeds under
their particular conditions Indicate
that medium wide nutritive ratio is
In general. to be preferred under con.
ditions Of dairying in the northwest.
Medium Protein Ratlons Best
This investigation mentioned above
showed conclusively that the medium
protein rations were more economica,
and produced better results than the
high protein rations. On the ayera 90
there was a gain in the net profit IN
favor Of medium protein rations
amounting to nearly IS per cent. The
Significance Of this result lies in tho
fact that the medium protein rations
were composed largely of farm.grown
feeds. supplemented by mill feeds and
small amounts Of the more expensive
high protein feeds. This investigation
leads to the conclusion that Wiscon.
sin dairy farmers and others simi.
larly situated will do we'll to feed
their cows rations of medium protein
contents which as a general rule will
have relatively wide nutritive ratios:

of its large protein content. 1t is an
excellent food. both for growth and
milk elaboration. very cheap ra-
ton for cattle consists of corn silage
and alfalfa.
System Of Winter Feeding.
During the winter the dairy herd
at the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture receives per head daily 20 to 40
pounds Of corn silage according to the
capacity of the animals. s to 9 pounds
mixed hay, and as many pounds Of
grain daily as the cow produces
pounds Of. butter fat per week. The
grain ration consists of wheat bran
parts. oats 3 parts. corn meal 2
parts, and distlllers' grains 2 parts.
Where the cow requires variation in
her feed small amounts of dried brew
ers grains or oil meal are used occa-
sionally.
Prof. W. A. Henry speaks as fol-
lows regarding these feeds; Wheat
bran Is especially valuable due to its
laxative properties. 1t furnishes bulk
and plenty Of protein and ash so es-
sential in milk formation. The COM
bination Of bran and corn meal is not
excelled as dairy feed. The bulk
Of the oat though carrying little nu-
triment renders this grain feed Of
light character which Is easily d.
gestible. Oats contain higher pro-
portion Of digesttble protein than corn
or wheat. This grain In itself is a
well-balanced ration. Corn meal is a
heavy. rich feed and should always be

Ginger Cream.

For ginger cream. which is most
excellent, thick cream is required. Or,
II the cream be thin. gelatine must be
substituted. Measure the creamy in
gredient, and to each Of two cups al
low three ounces Of preserved ginger.
This latter is to be cut in fine shreds,
and with 1t go two tablespoonfuls of
ginger syrup. Whip the cream very
stiff. sweeten as you like IL, and then
stir in the ginger and the syrup. Whip
again, and set upon the ice. Chill
some cone-shaped glasses, and just be.

value in that the mauurial residues
Of these feeds is returned to the soil.
The golden maxim of the Garry farmer
should be Produce as much feed as
possible on the farm. Feed the grains
and market them as milk and meat, at
the same time making use Of the
manure as fertilizer"
Feed According to Production.
Each farmer should keep the pro-
duction and expenses Of every COW in
his herd and should supply feed to
the COW in proportion to her produc-
ton and capacity. An excellent rule
used in the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture herd is to feed as many
pounds of grain daily as the animal
produces pounds of butter fat during
the week." Roughage should be sup
piled in amounts which the COW will
clean up thoroughly.
Corn still remains the most valu-
able winter feed grown in the United
States. 1t can be best fed as silage
as in this form the dairy herd relish
It best and there Is the least waste.
Silage which is to the COW what
canned vegetables are to the human
race. is greatly relished by the dairy
herd on account OF succulence. It
should be fed after milking where
fears are entertained that It will give
an unpleasant flavor to the milk. 81.
