FOOD VALUE OF SKIM MILK
II Allowed to Sour and Then Churned
Until Curd Is Broken, II Makes
Excellent Drink.
(By JOHN B. PICKERING)

Freshness and cleanliness must be
considered as we'll as composition.
Milk which has been received from
the milkman and allowed to stand long
enough to skim should probably never
be given to children under years Of
age. For older people the mere fact
of its being old need not be taken in
to consideration. II skim milk is
bought as such. however, 1t should al.
ways be thoroughly cooked, unless 1t
is known to have been handled care
fully and to be clean.
Skim milk seems to some people
rather thin for use as beverage, but
others va-ue It for this very quality.
If 1t is allowed to stand until 1t sours
and Is then churned or beaten until
the curd is broken up into small par
ticles, 1t makes familiar and whole
some drink, often used under the name
Of buttermilk, for much OF the COM
mercial buttermilk is thus made from
skim milk. some cream or butter fat
being sometimes added. For cooking,
the lack Of fat and any consequent
lack Of flavor can be easily made up,
as butter or less expensive fats can be
used with It. Pork and bacon fat
make a particularly savory addition.
In the very interesting experiment
Of serving penny lunches to anemic
children in the Boston schools. one Of
the combinations of food that It was
found possible to sell for the low price
Of 1 cent was SKINNED milk and
bread and butter.
Though not much different in nutri
tive value, buttermilk obtained as q
by-product in butter making has a
different quality or texture and a DIFF
ferent flavor from so-called skim-milk
buttermilk referred to above

Its fronds have a plume-like effect
that make fine specimen OF It one of
the most ornamental Of all decorative

Perhaps the most satisfactory fern,
all things considered, for the amateur
florist, Is the good old Boston sort.
This does well in almost all places II
frequently showered.
It is greatly benefited by keeping
water constantly evaporating on
stoves Or registers. 1t likes best a

Have good drainage and there is no
fear of injury from over watering.
Best results are secured by keeping
the plant at some distance from the

means, but far enough from the glass
to allow the fronds to spread and
droop gracefully in their efforts to Sc
cure the benefit Of the light. 1t is

RETAIN NITROGEN IN MANURE
Valuable Properties Contained In
Poultry Dropplnes.
CBy RODNEY NJ. wEsT)

Fresh poultry manure has approx
mately twice the fertilizing value of
cattle manure, If comparison Of the
two products is based upon their nj
trogen content The nitrogenous COM
pounds contained in poultry manure,
however, are very unstable, and de-
compose readily into ammonia and
volatile ammonium compounds. Con-
sequently, unless proper care Is taken.
large quantities of nitrogen, which
might be used for fertilizing, are lost.
Several methods have been suggest
ed for retaining this nitrogen. They
consist in mixing with the excrement
either an absorbing substance or an
acid compound which will chemically
combine with the ammonia as fast as
formed.
Experience has shown that poultry
manure, untreated, as well as that
mixed with sawdust, lost half of Its
nitrogen in the course of six months.
Where the manure was stored with
half OF its weight Of gypsum Gland
plaster) it lost a third, while that
mixed with an equal weight Of gyp-
sum and about one-flfth of its weight
Of sawdust retained all of the original
nitrogen. Equally good results were
obtained by using from onethird to
one-fourth Of the weight Of the ma
nure Of either kainite or acid phos-
phate.
From the standpoint of the me-
chanical condition, the mixture with
land plaster gives the least desirable
product, although the addition Of saw
dust aids materially in preventing the
formation Of hard cakes.
When the manure is to be kept only
few days before applying. good re-
suits may be obtained with dry loan
or peat as an absorbent.
The absorbent used should be sprin-
kled daily in the required quantity on
the floor of the hen house, from which,
in combination with the excrement. It
may be removed when desired.
The difficulties experienced in
spreading poultry manure on account
Of It's sticky consistency may be OBJ
Waited by mixing with loan. peat or
common stable manure For econom-
ical use 1t should be spread In rela-
lively smaller amounts than other ma
nures.
The admixture of lime or wood
ashes is not advised, since decompo-
sition is sufficiently rapid without
their use.
1t should be borne in mind that each
of the absorbents suggested is in itself
of value as fertilizer; the least valu-
able being sawdust.

ALLOTMENT OF FARMING LAND
Three Families to Each Farm is Case
In U. S. Today-Soil is Source
of Everything.
tBy w. c. PALMER, North Dakota. Agri-
cultural College.)

| - - <hl@nlEIN, DdhOl1 <ASIl-
cultural College.)
Three families to each farm is the
case in the United States today. One
on the farm and two in town, but all
dependent on the farm. Two gener-
ations ago nearly everybody lived on
the land and it was the lookout of
each family how they worked the
land. Now with two-thirds of the
people In town, 1t not only concerns
the men on the farm whether the crop
Is good or not but also the man in
town who is dependent on the pro
duce OF tn land for his living.
whether the crop be poor or good
really affects the city man more than
1t does the farmer who can keep out
enough for himself. If there is no
surplus 1t is not hard to see who will
suffer most.
AS industry develops we get more
and more dependent on each other.
The farmer, however, remains the
most independent, and the way he
carries on his work is of the most
vital importance to all.
The soil is the source of everything
that calls forth the efforts of industry.
The people who TIL the soil have
charge of the source of supply and the
rest have to go accordingly. II we
want more to do with the farmer must
produce more. To do that he must
have more knowledge and skill IN his
work. As long as the land was vir-
gin 1t would produce with any kind
| OF outstanding. That farming is
hardly on a permaner basis yet ia
shown by the abandoned farms in the
east, and the decreasing values of
these lands in the face of increasing
markets.
As long as the farmer can only make
the soil produce one-third Of what It
is capable. 80 long must our manu-
featuring. transportation. merohan-
dising and banking remain at approx
mately one-third of what 1t would be,
and largely FIR lack of special train
ing for his work on the part of the
farmer.
Who Is most interested in the man
who tills the soil being trained for
his work? Without doubt it is the
man In the city. He is the one who
should be the most insistent on agri-
culture being taught in the public
schools, and that the agricultural col
leges be given liberal support.
The railroads are doing a great deal
In encouraging the teaching of agri-
culture. Many have placed trains at
the services of the agricultural col
leges that they might equip it with
apparatus, appliances and instructors.
and thus carry the teachings of better
farming to great many people in a
short time. Bankers are also active
In encouraging the spread Of better
farming.
There are no more northwestern
states to open up so that the only
way to make any material increase in
production is by making each acre.

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

Feed large variety OF food, but
avoid sudden changes. That is, do not
change the whole ration at any one
time.
To produce the full development of
bone the work must be commenced
before the animal is born by feeding
the dam plentifully with bone-produc-
ing foods while she is pregnant.
The development of the bone in a
pig carries with 1t the development
OF the vital organs and a large in.
crease in the amount Of lean meat
