CHICKEN DAlNTiES.

There is no cold meat which is so
easily served in variety of ways
when re-heated or served as a left
over, as chicken.
Canterbury Chicken.-Cook three
and half tablespoonfuls Of butter
with one tablespoonful of finely
chopped onion until yellow, stirring
almost constantly to prevent burning.
Add one tablespoonful of cornstarch,
and pour on, stirring all the time, a
cup and half of chicken stock (the
liquor in which chicken has been
cooked). Bring to the boiling point,
and add one-half tablespoonful Of lem
on juice, threefourths Of teaspoon
half a cup of celery cut in small pieces
and one and one-half cupfuls OF
chopped chicken. Serve very hot. and
garnish with toast points and parsley.
Chicken VictorIa.-Cream two table
spoonfuls of butter, and add the yolks
Of three hard cooked eggs rubbed to
paste. Soak a fourth of a cup OF
cracker crumbs in fourth of cup
of cold milk fifteen minutes, then add
the egg mixture. Pour on gradually
one cup of hot chicken stock. and
when boiling add a cup Of cooked
chicken cut in small pieces.
Chicken In roustade.-Remove the
crust from five-cent loaf of bread,
cut out the center, to leave a box
shaped case, brush with butter and
toast in the oven until brown, and
serve filled with the following mix
ture: Melt four tablespoonfuls of
butter, add four tablespoonfuls of flour
and stir until well blended, then pour
on one and three-fourths cupfuls of
milk, stirring constantly. Bring to the
boiling point and add one-half tea
spoonful o. salt, dash of pepper two
cupfuls of cut of fowl and the same
amount of fresh mushrooms which
have been cooked five minutes in lit
tie sailed water. Cook until all are

tade.

While this method is a sort of a
makeshift, anyone who knows condi-
lions as they are on the average farm
will agree that IL is about the only
practical way. The farmer cannot af-
ford to sell off what brood mares he
now has and buy the right type OF
mothers for the future heavyweight
farm draft animals. He will have TO
raise them and it will take two or
three generations to get them where
they ought to be for the real results
to be apparent
If we want to raise really good
horses we will have to stop the prac-
tice of ''roughing" the yearling and
the two-year-old colt through the win
ter and letting them depend entirely
upon pasturage through the summer
These two years are the most critical
period in the growth and general de-
velopment of the colt.
A colt will make about half OF his
growth during the first twelve
months of his life. II he fails to do
this certain amount of stunning has
been done that cannot be overcome
by subsequent care and feeding.

sEAsoNABLE DISHES.

Two small lunches of young onions
will make pleasant variation in
serving the well known and whole
some vegetable Cut them in inch
lengths and cook until tender in veal
stock. Make a cup of rich white
sauce, add two chopped hard cooked
eggs which may be left from break
fast; have ready some buttered toast.
Pour over the onions with enough veal
stock to moisten the toast, then add
the white sauce, cover with bread
crumbs and serve.
Chopped Steak.-Take a pound Of
chopped steak, which may be done at
home; put into well buttered cas-
serole and surround with a cup of
pearl barley. Season the meat well
with salt, pepper and Worcestershire
sauce; cover with cup of boiling wa
ter and bake in moderate oven for
an hour and quarter. Just before
serving cover with a tomato sauce.
BroiIed Hamburger Steak.-Season
the chopped meat with salt, pepper,
nutmeg, dash of cloves and onion
juice, and make into a fiat steak.
Place on a well creased broiler and
broil until well Drowned on both sides.
II care is used in handling the steak,
it may be kept unbroken when ready
to serve.
Cream Ple.-Beat a cup of milk and
a cup of sugar in a double boiler, add
two tablespoonfuls of -four which has
been mixed with a little cold milk, the
beaten yolks Of two eggs and a pinch
of salt. Cook until thick, flavor with
orange, and set aside to cool. Bake a

WASTE TURNED INTO PROFIT
Skim Milk When Fed Alone Of Little
Value, But Given With Corn In
creases Hogs Weight
CBy II. II. FLINT)


Sweet milk, skim milk, sour skim
milk and buttermilk are Of practically
equal value when fed in the proper
ton OF two and one-half to three
pounds OF milk to one pound of shelIed
corn. A bushel of shell corn when
fed with water produced an average
OF 119 pounds OF pork, but when fed
with 1853 pounds OF milk the average
weight of pork produced in the same
length of time was III pounds. While
this is no indication of the value OF
milk when fed alone, it seems to show
that when fed with shelled corn. 153
pounds of skim milk OF little or no
market value on the average farm.
produced 5S pounds of pork worth
about 40 cents at last years prices.
In many factories the secret OF sue
cess has been found in the discovery
and application of some method OF
turning former waste into profitable
byproduct. The same principles can
well be applied to the farm and farm
ers have not been slow in making this
use OF any extra milk.

You and l and everyone who is in
the business of farming and stock
raising keep horses because they are
our source of farm power. They are
the engines that do our work. II we
have understood, scrubby, cat
manned" animals, the farm power
that does our work is not as heavy
as it should be.
1t is some trouble and it requires
good deal of time to breed and rear
a team of colts. When we grow a
team of underweight horses we have
wasted time. Farm machinery is not
getting any lighter and it takes
good team Of horses to pull heavy
mower or drill, a disk or a harrow
all day in the hurry-up season.
We ought to raise big horses, not
the tremendous ton horses" used on
firm streets for draying, but animals
able and weighty enough to handle
with ease the heavy machinery that
the agriculturist must use at this
time. If we are going to raise horses
choose between two types in the very
near future. The big demand is going
to be for the massive draft horse or
for the animal of the army type, says
writer in the Farm Progress. Light
built gasoline vehicles have eliminat-
ed from the markets many of the in
termediate types of horses. The farm
will have to be the main field of the
horse in the future.
We can raise big horses anywhere
in America with very few excep-
tons. One of the things we will be,
forced to do is to look more care
fully after the feeding of the draft
type of colt. Our grains and grasses
are just as nourishing as those of
any of the great foreign horse-breed-
ing sections where the finest types
of heavy horses are bred and ma
tured
The trouble has been that we have
paid more attention to our horses
after they were three or four years
old than we did when they were colts.
l have noted that the yearling and
the two-year-old colt is not given very
much attention on the average farm.
The substitution of big horses for
the small animals now found on the
majority of farms cannot be accom-
plished in one year or in ten years.
1t will be a proposition of changing
the breed, of getting up to the stand |
ard of the pure and the nearly pure
bred. There are not enough heavy
mares in most localities to start in
making the change. Even this part |
of the change will have to be worked |
out slowly by the breeding of our
mediocre mares to draft stations.
