WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTovERs
Hash More PaIatable, Though Less
Economical, Than Meat Brought
to the Table Cold.

! suppose that in most households
dish Of hash comes to the table at
least once week Hash is very nice,
and many people prefer 1t to cold
meat. But 1t is one Of the least eco
nomical things going. because half a
pound Of meat cuts up into very little
mince, and people take larger help
Ing Of done-up things than they would
Of cold meat in slices. Therefore, IL
you want to be economical. don't have
hash.
But, II you are going to have 1t, you
might as well make 1t properly. Do
1t in the following way and it will be
perfectly delicious:
Remove all fe. and gristle from
your meat. Chop it by hand. or put
1t through a machine. II you use a
meat chopper you must put a crust
Of bread through afterwards, in order
to clean out all the little bits Of meat
which have stuck to the works. II
you don't do this you will leave quite
lot of meat on the knives, and it
will be all wasted
Melt one ounce Of butter in pan.
When this is melted, stir into it one
ounce of flour. and add half pint of
stock or milk. Cook the mixture for
ten minutes, stirring it very carefully
all the time and making sure that it
does not turn lumpy. When it is
done 1t will be a very thick sauce.
Take the pan off the fire, stir the
minced meat into 1t and flavor the
whole with parsley. herbs or tomato
sauce.
Put the pan back on the fire, and
stir the contents till 1t is quite hot.
Don't let your mince come to the boil
on any account though, or 1t will be
spoiled. Take 1t off, turn it out on a
hot dish, and decorate it with snip
pets OF toast. 1t will be firm enough
to stand up in pile. A good cook
makes her dishes nice to taste, pretty
to look at and easy to serve and ell

ADVANTAGES OF CLIPPING
cows UDDER QUESTIONED

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis.-Does clipping the long hair from
the udder and flanks of the dairy COW
reduce the amount of dirt that falls
into the milking pail? The question
is an important one for every dairy
man who is producing market milk
to consider, as it is we'll known that
the number of putrefying and disease
germs is increased with the increas-
ing amount of dirt, hairs and manure
that drops into the milk. Whatever
keeps the dirt out keeps the bacteria
out, so that the milk is cleaner, more
wholesome and keeps its natural
state longer.
1T was quite recently thought that
clipping the hairs from that part of
the cows body that is directly above
the milking pail was great aid to
cleanliness, and almost a necessity in
the production of sanitary milk" said
Professor Graves, head of the Oregon
Agricultural College Dairy Depart
ment. But the still more recent ex-
pertinent conducted by the New York
Experiment Station indicates that it
has very little effect on the bacterial
content, tending to increase rather
than diminish the number. The tests
were made by taking samples Of milk
before and after clipping under con-
ditions as nearly the same as possible
with the single exception Of clipping.
While the difference in the bacterial
content of the two samples was not
enough to base final conclusions on,
1t was sufficient to indicate that II
proper sanitary methods are observed
in handling the COWS and the milk,
clipping is not essential to the pro-
duction Of the highest grade Of milk"

HARDWOOD ASHES RICH
IN PLANT FOOD MATTER

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis.-Common hardwood ashes have a
value of about IS in plant food, and
$3.50 in lime, according to investiga-
tions made by Professor H. V. Tartar,
agricultural chemist of the Oregon
Agricultural College. Their physical
effect on the packed and acid soils
of certain districts is also very bene-
ficial. The almost prohibitive high
price of lime to correct soil acidity
should lead the Willamette Valley
farmer to use ashes extensively for
that purpose.
Wood ashes are valuable fertilizers
for three reasons" said Professor Tar
tar. "For the valuable plant foods
they contain, for their effect in neu.
tralizing acids in soils, and for their
action on the physical properties OF
the soil.
"The plant foods in ashes are pot.
ash, phosphorous and lime. An analy.
sis Of 81 samples of hardwood ashes
gave the amount Of each as follows:
Potash, ITO pounds per ton; phosphor.
Gus, 38 pounds per ton, and lime, 682
POuii0c POI COhs
"In order to get this value from
ashes 1t is necessary that they be pro.
tected from rain, as most of the pot.
ash is soluble in water and is lost by
exposure. After teaching, the potash
content of ashes was found to be 22
pounds per ton. The ashes should be
stored in dry place until applied to
the soil.
"On soils that are poorly drained
and acid, ashes have an excellent eff
feet. The land becomes more amen
able to culture, is readily kept in good
tilth, retaining its moisture in dry sea
sons and favoring drainage in wet sea
sons.
Lime is essential to plant nutrition
and none of the higher plants car
reach maturity without a normal sup
ply. Some Of these plants, such as
clover beans and alfalfa, require sc
much lime for their development thai
they are called lime plants The
potash and PHOSPHORUS are likewise
indispensable to plant growth, ant
ashes offer cheap and convenient
source of supply"

Notes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges Experiment
Specially

Guilty can well afford to seek their
protein supply largely from this
source, leaving the higher priced meat
source for the less strong. Another
unfavorable feature of this supply is
its tendency to rise in price with ris-
ing prices OF meat. Eggs at moder-
ate prices are good substitutes for
the meat proteins. Here again the
price is apt to vary with meat prices,
but in the spring and summer the
price is satisfactory.
Cereals, legumes, cheese and eggs
in varying combinations with different
food elements, are the principal
sources from which to seek substi-
tutes of the too high-priced meats"
