WITH SWEET. POTATOES,
METHODS OF COOKING TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS.
In tho Form o. Croquettes They Arc

Popular Way With Many
Candied or ScaIloped.

Croquettes.-Sweet potatoes are al
most always improved by a second
cooking, especially If they are wa
terry. One way is to make them into
crOquettes. A good recipe calls for
six potatoes boiled and put through
vegetable ricer, seasoned with
tablespoonful of melted butter and
pepper and salt to taste. Add beat
en- egg, mix we'll and shape into lit
tie balls. Roll in crumbs, beaten egg
and crumbs again and brown quickly
in boot deep fat.
Baked in Dish.-Another good way
Is to slice lengthwise boiled sweet p0.
tatoes; put them in baking dish, pour
melted butter over them and brown
them in the oven. Still another way
is to remove the insides from baked
potatoes, season them we'll with melt.
ed butter, paprika, salt and mace, and
return to tho skins to brown.
Candied.-For candied sweet pota-
toes cut parboiled sweet potatoes into
lengthwise slices and put them in a
buttered pan. Cook for two minutes
three-quarters of cupful of sugar, a
quarter of a cupful of water, and two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Brush the
potatoes with this and bake them.
Basic them with the strip as they
cook until they are we'll candied.
Scalloped.-Scalloped sweet pota-
toes are made by slicing parboiled
potatoes into a buttered baking dish
and covering them with well sea-
soned white sauce. On top of the
sauce put some melted butter and
crumbs and bake for about twenty
minutes.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Because recent developments In dai-
rying have caused large demand for
q dairy house which will fulfill sani-
tary requirements, plans for practi-
cal and inexpensive dairy house are
suggested in Farmers Bulletin $50 OF
the United States department of agri-
culture. For those who ara striving
to improve the quality of their prod
ucts such building is an absolute me-
cessity. Milk which is poured or
strained in the barn, or allowed to
stand there, is liable to be contami-
mated by bacteria and to absorb stable
doors. AS soon as the cows milk is
drawn it should be carried to the dairy
house, to be strained and cooled imme-
diately to so degrees F. or lower. An
up-to-date sanitary dairy house is pro-
vided with all the facilities for cooling
milk in the most economical and expe-
ditious manner.
For convenience the dairy house
should be near the barn, yet so far
from It that no barn odors can be de-
tected in the house, and should be on
well-drained land which slopes from
the house.
The principal purpose In building
dairy house is to provide place where
dairy products may be handled apart
from anything else. To carry out this
idea it is necessary to divide the inte-
rtor of the building SO that the utensils
do not have to be washed in the same
room where the milk is handled. The
Idea Of absolute cleanliness must al
ways be kept in mind; therefore there
should be no unnecessary lodges or
rough surfaces on which dirt may
lodge. Ventilators are necessary to
keep the air in the milk room fresh
and free from all odors and to carry
steam away from the washroom. Win
dows are of great Importance, as they
admit sunlight and fresh air and facili-
tate work. In summer the doors and
| windows should be screened to exclude
| dies and other insects.
It is imperative that there be plen-
tiful supply of cold, running water at
the dairy house. If it is not possible
to have a regular water system, water
supply may be piped from an elevated
tank fed by an engine, windmill, hand
pump or hydraulic ram. The dairy
man can i'll afford to spend his time
carrying water in a pail to cool milk
| and wash utensils.
| For the proper sterilization of uten-
sils an abundance of steam or hot wa
ter is needed. A pail or can may ap-
pear to be clean and still may contain
numerous bacteria which will hasten
the souring of milk, cause bad flavor
In butter or cheese, or spread conta-
gion. After the utensils are thoroughly
cleaned they should be either scalded
with boiling water or steamed.
The dairy house should be so built
as to economic labor to the greatest
extent. To do this the building must

Craig Albrectl. At points along this

beyond Cornwall, further up the chan

fisher folk and peasants is told by
Mrs Albrecht, who explored it's coast
before war clouds recalled a martial
stir to Cornwall, for the society in the
following bulletin.
Here are rock and headlnnd and
cli1f, now green, now golden with
gorse, now bare and rugged; inlet bay
and harbor, with here and there an
isolated house, a tiny village, a pre-
tentious town, a great port. An un-
friendly coast? Yes, with heavy seas
and winds, with thick sea-fogs-a dan
gerous one; rocks ever ready to tear
holes in the stoutest vessel, currents
ever ready to drive them on. But a

BUILDING A CONCRETE sIIo.

| the three months when there was a
material difference in the rations of
the two groups it was found that each
COW in the dry fed herds cost $4.10 to
maintain: in the silage fed herd. $3.50.
Fluctuations in prices from year to
year and varying local conditions nee
essarily affect estimates Of this kind,
but there is no longer any doubt that
the proper feeding of silage to dairy
cows actually reduces the cost Of feed
per COW, while it increases the flow OF
milk. In the case of the Mississippi
herds mentioned it was found that dry
fed cows produced a gallon of milk at
a cost of l4.6S cents and q pound Of
butter fat for 29.93 cents. The silage
fed herd produced milk at S.95 cents
gallon and butter fat at 2O.9S cents.
Thus the saving in the cost Of produc-
ing milk by the use of silage was near
" 40 per cent and in the case of butter
fat nearly 80 per cent.
The cost Of the silo, like the resultant
saving, depends largely upon local con-
ditions and upon the size Of the herd.
A ninety ton silO, IA by 30, will feed
a herd of twenty-five cows for six
months, allowing forty pounds for each
COW. Exclusive Of labor the cost Of
such a silo built Of concrete has been
estimated at S1GO. To this should be
added approximately $125 for cutter
and blower elevator and the cost Of an
engine TO run the cutter and blower.
In some communities it is possible, OF
course, to hire the engine, or two or
three farmers may unite in purchasing
one, thus very considerably reducing
the expense.
It is estimated that a concrete silo
costs on the average $3.50 for each ton
capacity, including material and labor,
and a wooden silo $3.50, although local
conditions may affect these figures. The
concrete, however, has the great ad-
vantage Of being permanent and does
not require the attention that even the
best wooden silo will demand after
few years.
Although the chief value Of silage to
the dairy is as a winter feed, it fire.
uuently happens that in the late sum-
mer and early fall the pastures are so
short or so dried up that the flow Of
milk is seriously diminished through
lack Of feed. 1t is a mistaken though
common practice among farmers to al
low this to happen. The easiest way
of meeting this condition in a large
herd is to feed silage, the amount de-
pending upon the condition Of the pas
lures. and varying all the way from ten
pounds to a full winter feed OF forty
pounds.
