Mr. Burgwald, a specialist sent out
by the extension service of the Uni
versity of Vermont, is urging the max
ing of cottage cheese as a more profit
able method of disposing Of the skim
milk than that usually employed OH the
farm. Mr.. Burgwald shows in convinc-
ing way that it is better to use the
skim milk for human food than to feed
il to the animals and then use the meat
for food. The following are few
facts brought out in the demonstra-
tions: That 100 pounds Of skim milk
viii yield about IS pounds of cottage
cheese and that 100 pounds of skim
milk would make an increase of about
five pounds in the weight Of an ami

to one and one half times as much pro

UNCLE SANS SAVINGS STAMPS

The government s scheme to raise
money by war savings stamps and thrift
cards ought to save some money that
now goes to waste. 1t will not merely
buy uniforms for a good many soldier
boys, but some people will acquire the
thrift habit who formerly could not
save dollar.
There are many persons having fair
" good incomes who can never keep
money on hand for regular bank de
posits. When the roll in the bureau
drawer gets up TO 10 or 20 dollars, they
feel rich. Then something comes to
their mind that they want. They un-
roll their wad and their savings melt
away They console themselves with
the idea that next quarter they will do
better. By that time new and unfor-
sccn uses for money have turned up.
These people might easily spare a
dollar o week though they could never
save $50 year in Jumps. A small sum
each week means simply less for shows
or tobacco or candy or other super
iluitics and they don't feel it.
Saving is a matter of habit and if
not begun early in life it comes hard
The boy who becomes used to sailing
away a dime or a quarter weekly ont
of his little earnings, docsn t feel com.
Portable when he fails to do it. The
sense of a little capital growing all the
time gives him more satisfaction than
the pleasures the money would give
him. Then when he grows up, he does
it easily, and as earnings increase, his
savings increase also.
The large success the banks have haj
with their Christmas and vacation club,
illustrates how people can acquire tn,
habit. Now the government proposes
to make il easier than ever. You hav,
NOT got to hoard up a large roll OF
money, but simply buy one or more %
cent savings stamps with the loos,
change i'll your pocket, and put it OF
Uncle Sam s thrift card.
