HOW TO USE POTATOES

Cook potatoes, both sweet and white,
with the skins on, whenever possible,
as this retains some nutrimsnt, saves
material, labor and time.
Boiled Potatoes.
Add teaspoonful of salt to one
quart Of boiling water Put in the
potatoes and let cook until tender.
Drain thoroly. Peel, if cooked with
skins on, Sprinkle lightly with salt
and shake the pan back and forth on
the hot stove. If they can not be
served at once, move to the back of the
stove and cover with cloth. Do not
put on the lid, as the lid will make
them soggy. The cloth will allow the
steam to escape and leaves them dry
and mealy.
Mashed Potatoes.
Boil the potatoes, as above. Pass
thru a vegetable strainer, or mash
with potato masher. For 4 or 5 me-
dium-size potatoes, add 2 level table
spoons butter, Il cup of hot milk and a
little salt Beat with perforated
wood spoon until very light and fluffy
Turn In hot dish and serve at once
II these are not served at once, set IN
pan OF hot water to keep warm, with
out the lid, as the lid keeps the steam
In and makes them soggy.
Baked Potatoes.
Wash potatoes thoroly, either white
or sweet potatoes. Bake in hot oven
II will take moderate-sized potatoes
about As minutes. II a soft skin Is de-
sired, the skins may be creased over
before they are placed in the oven. The
potatoes should be eaten as soon al
thoroly tender. Break open, and II
there must be delay Of minutes OF
more before they are served, make two
gashes in the top OF each potato al
right angles to each other. Gently
squeeze and let q little of the steam
escape.
Hash Brown Potatoes.
Cook potatoes with the skins on II
boiling water. When done chop with 9
chopper, or a clean tin can. When
chopped in small, even pieces, spread
over with little butter or other fat
and place in the oven to reheat and

PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES
N0W..THEY WILL BE NEEDED

During the time when the road and
saddle horse Of Tennessee was reeeiy'
ing the finishing touches in his deyel-
opment, there was great change be.
ing made In the agricultural field OF
the Middle West. The land owners
there were beginning to realize the
value of more horse power on the
farm. and secured good types OF draf.
stations for use on their foundation
of range mares.
After getting ne mares from thi
sort of mating tAay saw that they haC
an excellent incubator for high-priced
mules, If f-they used the proper kind
of jacks. 1t was tAsa that they secured
Tennessee and Kentucky for jacks
such type and carried many away dur
ing the succeeding years.
From this founAation they are now
producing mules hat we are buyin
as weanlings anl developing on ou'
Tennessee farms. II IL common knowl
