Window Boxes, Which May
Be Started at Small Cost,
Make Home More Cheerful

Window boxes made up Of Towering
plants, give an added touch Of bright
ness and pleasure to the home life and
may be started at q small outlay, &C
cording to NJ. F. Ahearn, professor of
landscape gardening In the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
"Both indoor and outdoor boxes may
be used to good advantage" said Pro-
lessor Ahearn, "and the most salts
factory outdoor window box may be
had by using evergreens such as red
cedar, arbor vitae, and white and blue
spruce.
"These plants should be from 6 to
IS inches In height and may be ar
ranged effectively by keeping the
taller ones in the center and back, and
the smaller ones In the foreground.
Such box, after being well started,
will require little attention and need
not be protected from wintry weather.
'For the indoor window boxes, Bos-
ton fern, German ivy, variegated peri
Wrinkle, red geraniums, nasturtiums,
snapdragon,. and vinca alba may be
used with good effect. All the flowers
should be removed from the plants as
coon as they begin to fade. In order
to obtain the best results the box
plants should be given an application
of fertilizer once or twice a month.
An east or south exposure will be
found best for most window plants"

Cockerels for Breeders.

The speciality of an Eastern back
yard poultrykeeper is cockerels for
breeding, which he sells for $3.50 each
and up. His flock Is small, seldom
numbering more than IS hens, and
his houses represent a small invest
ment. By occupation a brickyard
owner and manager, he started keep
ing Rhode Island Reds several years
ago, utilizing some idle land back Of
his residence. He had good success
in egg production, and being inter-
ested in the fancy side. also, bought
stock from winners at the shows.
In breeding each spring. he uses
eggs from selected hens mated with
good show cockerels. Beginning in
late winter, all the available broody
hens are given eggs. Sometimes as
many as rs are sitting at once.

Food Which Will Provide the
Most Protein at Smallest Cost

Condensed milk contains about /
ounce Of protein per Bounce can.
Whole-milk cheese contains about 4
ounces Of protein per pound.
Cottage cheese contains about 8
ounces of protein per pound.
Dried legumes:
Beans contain ounces Of protein
per pound.
Cowpeas contain 8 ounces of protein
per pound.
Peas contain 4 ounces Of protein per
pound.
Peanuts contain 3 ounces Of protein
per pound.
Nuts:
Almonds contain nearly ounces Of
protein per pound.
Walndts contain little over 1 ounce
Of protein per pound.
Cereal foods: ....
Wheat flour contains ounces Of
protein per pound.
Cornmeal contains ~ ounces Of pro-
tein per pound. .-.. -. ~
Oatmeal contains 2 % ounces Of
protein per pound.
Bread contains IL ounces Of protein
per pound.
In considering the amount Of pro-
tein supplied by certain foods, one
must make distinction between the
cooked and the uncooked state. Dried
legumes and cereals, for example,
usually take up considerable water
during cooking, and thus become more
bulky and dilute. A pound Of baked
beans supplies the body with about
one-third as much protein as a pound
Of raw beans. Oatmeal takes up so
much water in cooking that q pound
Of boiled oatmeal has only about one
eighth the food value of q pound Of
raw. A pound of raw beans or oatmeal
would have practically the same total
food value after cooking as before, but
their weight would be greater. In the
same way, cupful of raw beans or
oatmeal would make several cupfuls
when cooked. .
When eggs are beaten, as in making
omelets and meringues, air Is forced
into them and they become more
bulky. In this way given number of
eggs can often be made to serve more
persons Ehan If they are prepared with
out besAng; but each. person gets less
eggs. If meat Is made into stew, It
goes further, because the water adds
to the bulk Of the dish but the flushed
dish has much lower protein and fuel
value than the original meat. When
meat is cooked without water. as In
roasting, broiling or frying, there is not
much change in Its composition.
A housekeeper. in choosing foods at
market rightly compares them in their
raw state; but when she Is considering
them as they are actually served at
meals. she must remember these differ
ences In cooking. They should also
be considered in choosing dishes at
restaurants. Changes in cooking
cereals are discussed In another bulle-
tin Of this series.

Because protein is so important to
the health Of the body, 1t Is not con-
sidered desirable in diets consisting OF
the ordinary combinations Of food ma
terials to cut down the quantity In the
daily food below 3h ounces per adult
man. and proportionate amounts for
women and children.
How then can the housekeeper re-
duce the cost Of food and still provide
enough Of this necessary but expensive
material? The best way is to learn
how much protein is provided by DIFF
ferent kinds of food and then choose
the kinds which will furnish what the
family needs for the lowest cost and
with the least waste. This task will be
easier II the housewife will group in
her mind the foods which are rich In
protein and then consider ways Of sub
shutting less expensive for more ex-
pensive ones. .a
The lists given below include some
Of the more common foods in which
protein is abundant and show in a gen.
eral way the amounts and proportion
Of protein in the different kinds as
they are purchased; that is, including
refuse, such as bones and gristle, egg
shells, etc. .....
Approximate amounts of protein in
common food materials:
Fresh meats:
Beef contains from 2 to 8 ounces Of
protein per pound. Ill.,
Veal contains from 2 to 8 ounces Of
protein per pound.
Mutton contains from 2 to ~
ounces Of protein per pound.
Lamb contains about ~ ounces of
protein per pound.
Pork contains about 2 ounces Of pro-
tein per pound. -. ~
Poultry-chicken. duck, goose. tur-
key, ETC.. contain from 2 to ~ ounces
Of protein per pound.
Game-squirrel, rabbit, wild birds,
ETC., contain from 2 to ~ ounces of

Prepared meats:
Corned beef contains ~ ounces Of
protein per pound.
Dried beef contains 4 ounces Of pro-
TEN per pound.
Pork sausage contains 2 ounces Of
protein per pound.

Rules Less Drastic Than Ger.
many's, But Less Lax
Than Ours.
EXPLAINED ByLORD RnoNDDA
Chief Aim ID to Safeguard the Inter.
est Of Consumers First Of ALL
Imposes Little compul.
sorry Rationino.

Washington.-Three general policies
In food saving are now being MAIN
tanned by three great nations. the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many.
The German idea is strict rationing
of the consumer, and recently the Unit
ed States food administration issued
figures showing the present German
ration. which Is meager as to variety
and far below average dietetic re-
quirements.
The American idea in food saving Is
to secure voluntary cooperation, as far
as possible, from both the public and
the producer and handlers Of food ar
tcles.
The British idea lies between the
two. AS little compulsory rationing as
possible is imposed upon the general
public. But there is farreaching and
rigid supervision of all food articles
by regulating the manufacturers and
merchants. by the establishment Of
maximum prices. and after December
30 rationing cards are to be issued for
sugar.
What Lord Rhondda Says.
A statement just issued by Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller.
describing the British system Of food
control gives succinct and clear
picture for comparison of the food-cav.
ing measures which are now being fol-
lowed in the United States.
Lord Rhondda says:
MY aim is to safeguard the inter-
ests Of the consumer. to do away with
profiteering altogether, and to prevent
excessive profits Of any kind. The
framework of our machinery is formed
on the civil service. They are the ad-
ministrators, but in all cases we Sc
cure the best available business men to
advise them, as we'll as number Of
expert committees dealing with almost
every food commodity. The policy Is
to limit profits at every step from the
producer to the consumer. and at the
same time to regulate supply.
"A costings department under the
direction Of chartered accountants has
been set up, through which the profits
made by any manufacturer or retailer
Of food can be ascertained. The coun-
try has been divided into separate
areas, in each Of which a leading firm
OF accountants has been appointed by
this department to do the necessary
work. Reasonable profit based on pre-
war rates is added to the present cost.
the price limits agreed on that basis,
after consultation with the representa-
lives Of the trades concerned.
Sixteen Food Divisions.
Decentralization is obtained by d.
vidtng Great Britain into 16 food d.
visions, consisting Of so many coun-
ties. Each division Is under the ST.
perintendence of a commissioner ap-
pointed by the food controller. In
each of these divisions the borough.
urban or rural district councils, or
other local, authorities, appoint local
food committees, with limited powers
and certain discretion, to carry out
such regulations as regards price and
distribution as may be issued from
headquarters.
local tradesmen are registered with
their local committees, and If any
tradesman does not carry out regula-
.tions and orders he may be struck of
