HOME. GARDENING
CUTS DOWN BILLS
But 1t Must Be Real Garden, Kept
Planted Through Season,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ca - (SpeciaD - "The
greatest obstacle to permanent farm
prosperity in the south is the store
bill made for food and grain that
could and should be grown on every
southern farm, says H. G. Hastings,
president of the Southeastern Fair
Association and of the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce, in an interview on
agricultural conditions in this terri
tory.
"a real garden" says Mr.. Hastings.
properly prepared and planted, and
kept planted throughout the season,
will help more to decrease store bills
than anything else the farmer can do.
"There are lots of what l term one
planting gardens made, gardens with
a few struggling rows Of beans, few
dozen cebbages and tomato plants,
with some watermelon off to one cor
ner, but that's not real gardening any
more than youngsters first drawing
of a cat or a dog on his slate, is fine
art. Our southern folks generally
don't take the garden seriously, when
as a matter of fact the right kind Of
a garden, containing a full line of
vegetables and kept busy all season,
is reasonably sure Of furnishing at
least half the living Of the family.
az have never seen one crop sec
ton, regardless Of what particular one
crop was grown, that did not have a
povertystricken look, with poor school
buildings, churches and homes.
81 have never seen diversified
section that did not have the signs of
prosperity sticking out all over 1t.
"And on practically every farm in
these prosperous diversified sections
the home garden has an honored
place.
81 haven't a thing in the world
against the supply and general mer.
chants. but if all of our people would
take the home garden seriously, half
of them would have to go out Of bust
ness for lack Of trade. Give your gar.
den a square deal in 1917.

TO cHEAPEN LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds Of Foods
That Should Be Selected and
Prepared.

a bulletin published by the New
York department of health suggests
a number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutrimcnt.
Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy,
and especially oatmeal" the bulletin
says, "are rich in nouriShment and are
much cheaper than patented cereals.
american cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con-
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
"Oleomargarine iss q very satisfac-
tory and economical substitute for but
ter. Unfortunately, its use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
"Rice is very cheap food and can be
served in many different. styles. it
should be used more frequently than 1t
is in the dietary of those of moderate
means. It contains q very high per-
centage of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms OF nourlSnment.
Everyone knows how extensively it is
used among the peoples of Asia, where
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
1T should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably of whole wheat,
a form which is rich in very important
food elements called 'vitamines, also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman.
"There are many other cheap food
stuffs, a notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without In any way
impairing its food value.

have BEST Bread
THAT MADE AT HOME SUPERIOR
TO BAKERS.
When Yeast Is in Good Condition 1t Is
] Not Matter of Difficulty to Turn
Out a Splendid Article
Some Hints.
Rulletin of University of Missourt.)

CBuletin Of University of Missouri)
Homemade bread, If we'll made, is to
be preferred over bakers bread, ac-
cording to Miss Addie D. Root of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. The
condition of the yeast used in bread
making is more important than the
kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to
stand in a dusty place or is put into an
unsterilized vessel, it will collect bac-
terra and the bread will have a sour,
unpleasant taste. All utensils and
liuuids should be scalded before using.
Yeasts are small plants which need
air. Flour therefore, should be ADDED
slowly and beaten into the liquid thor
oughly to incorporate air. Sugar is
food for the yeast plant and If given to
it will hasten,i its growth.
If dough is too stiff. harsh. crumblE
bread results. The least amount of
flour possible to avoid sticky dough,
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke in kneading
counts for more than the strength put
into it. a thorough kneading dis
tributes the yeast pla-ts evenly
throughout the dough and results in
bread of the best texture as the gas
bubbles rise evenly. Dough should be
kneaded until it has SMOOTH velvety
surface. If kneaded longer than 30
minutes, the elastic quality is COM
pletely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at temperature
of from 70 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough is set to rise, it should
be placed in a clean bowl. If the bowl
is covered tightly and an even temper
ature maintained, it is not necessary
either to oil or moisten the surface to
prevent crust from forming. If the
temperature is too high, the bread will
be dark, coarse and sour. If the dough
is chilled while rising the volume will
be smaller, the texture rubbery, and
an undesirable crust will form. Best
results are obtained when dough is
kept at gentle, warm, even tempera-
ture until it is twice its bulk, and then
worked.
Baking requires as much care as
mixing. kneading and rising. The tenn
perature Of the oven should be $50
degrees Fahrenheit when the bread is
placed In it. It should be allowed to
rise after fifteen minutes and lowered
after thirty minutes. The bread should
begin to brown in patches during the
first fifteen minutes and should have
an even, brown surface after thirty
minutes. If the dough is not twice its
original bulk or as light as desired, it
may be allowed to finish rising in the
oven.

ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time WASH
ing Dishes.

'aThe careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once
day Is often enough to wash dishes,
writes DR.. H. Barnard in "Table Talk"
in the National Food Magazine. "She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, slovenly housekeep-
ing. AS a matter Of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily dlsh-washing
jobs"
Doctor Barnard goes on to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing. One week she
washed dishes three times day; the
next week she washed each days
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes day to wash after each
meal and II minutes a day to wash
them once day.
This took account only Of time, but
there was considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead Of thrice q
day. to say nothing Of the saving In
soap.
