DAIRY PRODUCTS
WASTE IN HOME

1.-THE Waste Of Dairy Products in
the Home" an article by Brooks
Brown. the dairy inspector of the
Maine department of agriculture. has
been issued from the office of Com
missioner of Agriculture John A. Rob-
erts:
At this time of universal food con-
servation I believe it is fitting for me
to mention a few of the most common
products of the dairy showing the
enormous waste in these articles of
food. and giving methods by which
they might be utilized.
For example, suppose half a cup Of
milk Is wasted each day in every home
in the United States, it would amount
to 912.500.0o0 quarts year. 1t takes
over 100000 cows to produce this
amount of milk and an army Of men to
handle and deliver 1t. Even II half a
cup of milk is wasted in only one out
Of every fifty homes. the total still
makes an appalling figure.
This is particularly deplorable when
one realizes that milk is one of the
most nutritious of foods. and skim
milk is almost as valuable as whole.
The skim milk may be used for SOUPS

cants is 90 years and months How
ever. in order to obtain the experienced
class of men desired, preference will
be given to men over 81 years of age.
other things being equal. Because of
the anticipated large number Of ap-
plcants it will probably be difficult for
men under that age to qualify except
in instances where the applicant has
pro- eminent qualifications or unusual
military experience.
g. All who desire to become candt-
dates will apply on the official appli-
cation blank. Memorandum of instruc-
tions with application blank attached
may be procured from the examining
cfficer. End Training Camp, Fort Nc

between June 18th and July 18th, 1917.
Under no circumstances will an ap-
plication he considered if received aft

and cereal dishes, while sour milk can
making of bread.
In regard TO butter, 1t has been esti-
mated that. if each household in this
country wastes only one-fourth of an
ounce per day, just one small pat, it
would amount TO 114062.500 pounds in
the course OF year. The product of
over half million cows, or about $685.
261,oe0 gallons Of milk. would be used
in making this amount Of butter. If
only half the above mentioned amount
IS wasted and probably this estimate is
very low, we would still have reason to
view the matter with utmost concern.
All butter left on plates after meal
should be collected and used for cook
ing rather than scraped off into the
garbage can.
During the summer months the
waste of milk, due to souring, is enor-
nous. This milk should, as 1 stated
above, be utilized. The manufacture
OF cottage cheese is a convenient way
for its disposal. When the milk has
soured enough to form a firm curd it
should be cut or broken up. Next,
heat is applied gradually until the tenn
perature reaches 96 degree to 100 de-
grees +. The curd should be stirred
gently until this temperature is OBJ
tanned. The temperature is held at SO
degrees to 100 degrees F. until the curd
feels fairly firm and the whey appears
clear. Then drain off the whey, place
| the curd in a cheesecloth bag. and
hang it up until the whey has drained
out. The curd should neYt he hrokep

A co-operation between the federal
government, the State Of Maine ana
the Bangor G. Aroostooh railroad IN
bringing out a supply Of labor IN
Maine, particularly in Aroostook coun-
~, was decided upon Tuesday after
long conference which was held in Gov
ernor Millikens Office a the State
House Those present at the confer
ence were Governor Milliken, Hon. An
thony Caminetti Of Washington, D. G.,
commissioner general Of immigration
of the United States; Timothy Eliot,
immigration inspector at Portland;
Percy r. Todd of Bangor. president of
the Bangor & Aroostook railroad; Fred
c. Wright of Bangor, vice president OF
the Bangor & Aroostook railroad, and
d. F. Getchell of Limestone and j. F.
Guigou Of Pressure Isle, Aroostook
county farmers.
The needs for labor in Aroostook
county We're thoroughly discussed. The
farmers pointed out that 50 per cent
Of the farm labor in Aroostook county
comes from Canada, but that labor
comes to Maine only for the harvesting
period. It generally comes from the
northern part Of New Brunswick and
that portion Of Quebec north Of New
Brunswick. The labor comes about the
first of September and stays six weeks.
Mr.. Getchell said that 5000 more
hands than are availa BILE are needed in
Aroostook county at the present time.
Gen. Camiretti said that he would CO.
operate in every possible way with the
State and would send inspectors to
Maine to look over the situation and
this inspection would work under the
direction Of Governor Milliken.
Certain features of the immigration
! laws have been temporarily suspend
ed including the literacy test and the
contract labor provision but these are
suspended only as far as farm labor
! ers are concerned
