Vegetable Soups or Purees.

Soup is not necessarily made from
meat stock. Vegetable soups or purees
are made by boiling potatoes, beans.
peas or other vegetables until soft.
MASKING through sieve and then heat
ing with a little liquid (water, milk.
soup stock or whatever seems desir-
able) and flavoring. Using leftover
vegetables for such purees is an eco
nomical practice. Milk soups, which
are really milk thickened and favored
with some vegetable, fish or other food,
to give flavor and perhaps thickened
still more with a little -four or stale
breadcrumbs, are both nutritious and
appetizing. They furnish also an ex-
cellent means of using up skimmilk.
Those who wish to bring down the cost
of food should remember that skim
milk, cup Of which contains as much
protein as cup Of whole milk, is far
too valuable a food to be overlooked.

Making the

POINTS ABOUT LEGUMES.

incubation Of Soil Often Necessary to
Get a Good Stand Of Clover.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
One fundamental characteristic of a
leguminous crop is the presence on
the roots ofnodules or tubercles which
are infested by bacteria. These Dac
terra are essential both to the success
full growth of the plant and to its value
as feed and as green manure crop.
They enter the plant from the soil, and
1t is obvious therefore that If the soil
does not contain them In the first place
the crop will prove atfailure.
II a leguminous crop is grown for the
first time in field 1t is probable that
nodule forming material of the right
kind will not be present. They must
be supplied Therefore by artificial
means. This process is called inocu-
lating the soii.
One practical and effective method Of
incubation IL to transport soil from a
field where it is known that the needed
bacteria exists. Soil from fields of al
falfa, sweet clover and bur clover will
inoculate field for any Of these three
crops. Soil from red alsike. crimson
and white clover is also interchange

Green Feed For Chickens.

Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on good
range, where no extra green feed is re-
Quired. Where the chickens are kept
In small bare yards, fine charcoal, grit
and oyster shell should be kept before
the chickens all of the time, and crack
ed or ground bone may be fed. The
bone is not necessary for chickens that
have good range.

Save Poultry Manure,

It is particularly important to take
care Of the poultry droppings. They
should be collected frequently and kept
so that there will be no loss of am
monia. An excellent plan is to deposit
the droppings in barrel, and when
the barrel is full cover the manure
with a thin layer of acid phosphate
The phosphate may also be sprinkled
over the droppings under the roosts.
