TO SERVE EGGPLANT
VEGETABLE VALUABLE IN GIVING
VARIETY TO MENU.
Care Bestowed on Its Preparation VIII
Be Wei! Repaid by the Tastiness
Which Is Its Characteristic
When Well Seasoned.

The eggplant is plentiful and at its
best just now. Well seasoned and
carefully cooked, it may give in many
DISCUSSES many varieties to the menu.
Many of the recipes given below are
from southern France, where the egg
plant is the favorite vegetable. When
choosing an eggplant select n of
medium size and firm. otherwise it
may be too ripe and full of grains In
eide. However great the virtues OF
the eggplant may be, remember that
by itself it is quite tasteless; so sea
son and season well.
Eggplant Salad.-Put in the oven
n eggplant, FIVE green peppers and
two tomatoes. You will bake the
tomatoes first, then the peppers, and
the eggplant last. Gradually skin,
grain and drain off the above vege-
tables. Use a silver knife. Arrange
in a dish. On a moderate fire in a
half cupful Of olive oil fry a small
onion cut into small pieces and half
a cupful Of olives stoned and cut into
pieces. When the onion is slightly
brown add everything to the dish. Salt
%spoonfuls of good wine vinegar. To
be eaten cold.
Broile6 Eggplant.-Cut the eggplant
in two lengthwise. Put in a mar
mate composed Of two tablespoonfuls
of olive oil, one t"easpoonful salt, n e-
hole tnncnnnnfu l nf nnnnnr an1 cnnn
parsley. Leave it to marinate for an
hour or more. Broil and serve with
the marinate.
Fried and Al Gratin.-When you
cut an eggplant into pieces for frying
or other purposes be sure to sprinkle
it with salt and let it stand under a
weight for about two hours. Drain
off the water, dry well and then fry.
For the gratin cover with either to-
mato or white sauce and bake for
from Is to 20 minutes.
For Fritters.-Soak the pieces two
hours in milk; dry and fry, using the
following recipe for fritter batter: One
cupful -four, two teaspoonfuls Of baK-
ing powder, one-fourth tcaspoonful
salt, one-fourth cupful milk, two eggs,
tablespoonful lemon juice. Sift
the dry ingredients; add the well beat
en- eggs, lemon juice and milk. Beat
well. Prepare Q fow hours ahead.
Stuffed Eegplant.~-Cut the eggplant
lengthwise. Make incisions with a
knife. salt and let stand for an hour.
Drain off the water; cut the pulp
and fry it for a few minutes in oil.
Pound well; add four tablespoonfuls
of pounded ham, a teaspoonful of pars-
ley, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with
crumbs, to which may be added some
parmesan. Put over it a little oil and
bake in an oiled pan for an hour. OF
course you may use butter instead of
oil, but the olive oil blends itself bet
ter with the eggplant. II instead of
ham you use hashed mutton, cooked
rice and a bit of garlic and pimento
you may call this dish eggplant a la
Turcque."
Eggplant and Tomatoes.-Peel the
eggplants; cut lengthwise in pieces
one-half inch thick. Salt, let stand
and dry. Put in a pan; cover with a
well seasoned tomato sauce Cover
the pan and cook on a moderate fire
for an hour.

come useless. Excessive moisture
will also cause the material to rot, and
1t will have to be thrown away. En-,
silage must also be protected against
freezing, and this is where the hollow
air space again plays a big part. The
protection of the air space will pre-
vent the silage against the walls from
freezing and will protect it against
all changes in temperature.
The silos are REINFORCED so that
they will not be blown down in the
wind, and so the rows of blocks near
the bottom of the silo will be able to
Withstand the pressure that is brought
to bear on them. Each course of
blocks is REINFORCED with a band of
steel that completely encircles the silo.
This band is buried in the wall so
that it cannot be seen and the hand
spoiled in any way. The bursting pres
sure on the bottom part of a silo espe-
cially is very large, and the steel band
will supply plenty of strength to re-
sist it.
Special arrangements are made to
provide for the doors, and all the tile
companies have systems that will in
ure a tight fit.
The floor plan gives an idea of the
size of the barn. 1t is 100 by SO feet.
One end of the barn is used for horses
and the other is arranged as a dairy
and cattle barn. A solid wall sepa-
rates the two parts of the barn. In
the cattle barn the facing-in arrange
ment is use6, with the feed carrier
track running between the two rows
of stalls. In back of the stalls r the
litter carrier tracks. The same track
is used in the main passageway
through the barn for both the litter
and the feed carriers.
This is a type Of barn that is very
popular in certain parts of the coun-
try. No haymow is built over the
barn proper, and the hay is handled in
a shed that is built alongside If need
ed. 1t can be made a part of the
barn by building it witt tile in the
same way as the rest of the barn.

Permanent buildings are required
on the farm more than they are any,
where else. In the city, buildings
often become obsolete long before they
are in bad condition and they have
to be torn down to make for
a building that will be more suited to
the uses for which it is intended. Also
the price Of real estate may become
so high that a large building will be
required to pay a revenue that will
take care of the higher taxes.
Buildings on the farm are not sub

chamber OF commerce spoke in high
praise of this effort on the part of
Rock Hills farmer friends to show
their appreciation to the organization
The members of the chamber Of COM
merce consider the work and money
spent in trying to help the farmers and
improve the standards of agriculture
in the Piedmont was the very best
thing they could have done, and they
are at present devoting large part of
their attention to marketing and other
problems of a similar nature.
Among the things the organization
has done in the past few years through
its agricultural department are several
which are deserving of being empha-
sized. In the first place 1t made 1t
possible for York county to have two
demonstration agents, there being only
one other county in the state with two
agents. which county alone won high
err place in the county exhibits at the
state fair last year. More than 81 600
I was raised for this purpose In the
chamber of commerce to supplement
the government funds in this demon
stration work, In addition to which the
dEGuI AdO H4o OA11CC anu cbClO6A dPACA
furnished by the organization.
Another move on the part of the
chamber of commerce was the flnanc-
ing of a cream route to go out from
Rock Hill and return, a distance of
twenty-five or more miles. The OBJ
ject of this route was to collect the
cream from patrons and deliver it at
the Winthrop College dairy, where it
was made into butter and sold at the
best possible price. All profits are re-
turned to the farmers monthly, and
the great success of this route will re-
suit in the formation of number Of
other similar ones In other directions.
The marketing committee during last
April instituted city market on a
vacant lot In a prominent section Of
the city, at which place the farmers
meet twice a week and furnish the
city housewives with fresh produce of
all kinds in season. This has been and
continues to be a great help to both
parties.
The most recent work Of the organ
ization was the securing of Rock Hill
by a central committee as one Of the
six places in the state serving as con-
centration points for cattle. Cattle
from five or six counties surrounding
will be shipped to the excellent stock
yards and sheds which the business
men are putting up and which will be
in charge of the Fair association. Two
weeks at different times of the year
will be selected for this concentrating,
at which time the State Agricultural
association has arranged for a number
of the largest cattle buyers in the I'm
ion to attend sales and buy the cattle
at the very best market price possible.
Attention may be called also to the
work of the Rock Hill Alfalfa associa-
ton, consisting of over 200 members
throughout the community. 1t has
made Rock Hill the alfalfa center Of
the southeast, for there is more alfalfa
planted around this center than in all
the balance of the Carolinas together.
