COOKING CANNED PEAS.
Food Specialists Devise Special forms
of Seasoning and Combinations.

In some cases trained cooks make
especially fine dishes by combining
vegetables and in others secure variety
by some special form of seasoning. 1t
is often possible without undue la
bor) for the housewife to apply these
methods to some of her everyday
problems with good results.
Now that the girls canning clubs in
the different states are teaching their
members to put up vegetables for win
ter use, there is new demand for in
formation regarding the best ways of
using such products. This the ex-
perts in the Office of Home Econom-
les of the department are trying to
supply, and offer, among others, the
following suggestions:
Everyone knows that the flavor of
canned peas is seldom just like that of
che fresh ones, and so the housekeep-
er, if she is wise, takes unusual pains
in seasoning and preparing them for
the table.
Many persons consider that a slight
onion flavor improves cooked vege-
tables, and indeed this havoring is
quite commonly used in soups made
from split peas or dried beans. 1t is
equally good with canned peas, and
may be easily introduced in the fol-
lowing manner: For a quart can of
peas use tablespoonful of chopped
onion, which has been cooked in a
little butter and water until tender.
Add as much salt and pepper as de-
sired. Heating the peas in the sauce

A. simple application of the principle
that housekeeper should always try

she "saves dishes" and so spares her
self needless labor.
If there are on hand any of the
,oarser, outer leaves, such as are US
ually discarded from a head of lettuce,
they can be shredded and cooked with
the onion and added to the peas. This
use of lettuce and onion was suggest
cd by French method. in which the
Young and tender peas are placed on
freshly washed lettuce leaves and
cooked in a tightly covered saucepan
without adding any water, a small
spring onion being usually added to
favor the dish. Lettuce leaves must

ing the plants, especially the outer
leaves, which are easily spattered with
sand and dirt.
A tablespoonful of chopped or
shredded cooked ham may also be ad-
ded with onion to flavor canned peas,
and this is particularly desirable when
lettuce is not avilable. Chopped eel
cry leaves, which might otherwise be
wasted. if cooked with peas in place

TO give distinctive flavor.

few ears indicate that the seed is OF
low vitality, the farmer should at once
make further tests to satisfy himself
as to wether his seed corn generally
is good or bad.
If farmer finds his seed is bad he
should take steps at once to meet the
difficulty. The purchase of seed
should not be delayed till spring, es-
pecially when so much corn in various
sections has been damaged. The
farmer should secure his seed from
well-known sources, buy it upon a
terminating guarantee basis, and get
his seed or typical samples early
enough to make his own terminating
tests. 1t is probable this year that
many farmers who have not followed
the wise practice of selecting enough
special seed from good crops to last
them in an emergency for two or
In buying seed farmers should
try to secure corn of~varieties
known to prosper in their
section. The safest seed would be
that carefully selected from good
corn grown in the immediate neigh
borhood, but at any rate effort should
be made to obtain seed grown in dis
tricts where climate, soil, and farm
ing conditions in general are similar
to those at home.
If the farmer happens to have a
stock of seed left over from the 1914
crop and doubts the seed saved from
his 1915 crop, he would do we'll to
test the older seed also and then use
which ever shows the greater vitality.
Seed corn if properly cared for will
retain its vitality for several years.
Many farmers knowing this always
select an extra amount of seed from
an unusually good harvest.
The following method of testing
corn is taken from Farmers Bulletin
7O4. The corn is placed on drying
racks made by driving wire finishing
nails about 4 inches apart on four
sides of a stick A number is placed
over the nail and the butts of the ears
are put on the nails. If wire fencing
OF other seed racks are used, the ears
! can be numbered in other ways.
In single ear testing, two kernels
from opposite sides of the ear on the
top, two from the middle. and two
from the butt are put in numbered
squares or portions of terminating
boxes or other testers. The kernels
are kept moist at a room temperature
not above 90 degrees Far. nor below
SO degrees Far. After six or seven
days the seed should begin to sprout.
Only those ears from which all the
kernels give strong sprouts should
be reserved for planting.
Under ordinary circumstances, it
may not be absolutely necessary to
test every individual ear. If a large
number of typical ears show germina-
ting tests as high as 81 per cent, the
seed in general may be considered
good. Under the unusual condition
prevailing this year, especially in
neighborhoods where the corn did not
mature normally, it should we'll re-
pay corn grower to test every ear
that he intends to use for seed. If
he has any reason to doubt rhc quality
of his individual stock, the ear-by-ear
testing is simply a form of labor and
crop insurance.
Before testing termination, the
farmer should examine each ear and
throw out all the ears which do not
look right or which have several
withered or damaged kernels. He
should strive to make up his seed from

might agree that tender green peas,
fresh from the garden, need no flavor

little butter, they may occasionally
enjoy a little flavor of mint with the
winter canned peas. When fresh mint

in shops, and anyone who has access
to mint patch can prepare it at home
by spreading the leaves on plate
and drying them in a warm. but not

or two leaves or a small spring.

But in spite OF these repeated ex
amples. many OF the farmers OF this
county persist in sticking to cotton a.

II seems TO me that the picture car
ries lesson that ought to appeal &c
many of our farmer friends.
II will be noted from Mr.. Dunn's
letter that these hogs we're fed on
corn for only very short period.
The Alabama experiment station
made some tests to determine the cost
OF producing pork when the hogs were
fed on corn and when they were
grazed on soy beans. The result
showed a cost OF s7l5 per hundred
pounds when corn was fed exclusively
and $3.50 per hundred when soy beans
made up three-fourths Of ;he ration
and corn only one-fourth. Mr.. Dunn
very sensibly substituted peanuts for
corn. hence he has a nice profit from
these hogs.
