any tender green vegetable in large
amount of water and then throwing
away the water is most reprehensible
at any time and especially now when
every scrap of food should be con-
served.
The liquid in which the vegetables are
cooked is rich in soluble matters that
are valuable In the body and should
never be thrown away but served
with the vegetable as a sauce or add
ed to soup stock.
In cooking any Of the succulent
green vegetables, salt should not be
added until they are ready to be sea-
soned. II peas are inclined to lack
sweetness a teaspoonful of sugar to a
pint of peas will aid wonderfully in
the flavor of the finished dish. Cook
all vegetables in boiling water and
peas in an open kettle as they keep
their green color better.
For variety one may enjoy some
of the following ways of preparing
peas:

VALUABLE HINTS FOR DAIRY
Overlooking Causes More TROUBLE
Than interchangeable Change
to Skim Milk Gradual.

(By H. H. KILDEE. University Farm. st.
Paul)
In rearing and developing dairy
heifers:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overlooking as
by undertaking.
Don't change suddenly from whole
to skim milk.
Don't keep calves in damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk in dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to time of feed
ing, temperature or amount Of milk.
Don't feed too much alfalfa hay be-
fore the calf is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchions and fed grain.
Don't make calf go without water
because 1t has had milk.
Don't let calf drink foaming milk
just from the separator.
