The quickest and surest way of aug

The most satisfactory meat for ship
ping long distances on train. boat or

There is no animal which produces
more meat and meat products than the
hog.
Pork finds ready sale because pack

our own people. every farmer must put
torth the best effort to produce more
hoGs. Hogs can be kept prottably
upon many farms wner they are. not
ound to-day. Farmers who already
raise hogs can produce many more,
FOR there is not much chance of pro-
ducing meat this year in excess of the

SUBSTITUTES FOR FLOUR
ARE HANDY DOWN SOUTH
HOMEGROWN Substitutes That May
Easily and Probably Combine
With Wheat for Making.
INFORMATION FOR HOUSEWIVES
In This Time of Conservation, the
Government Offers Valuable Sug-
gestions-Sweet Potatoes and Pea
nuts May Come to Help OF Grain.

The South has at it's a va
riety of toods,uffs which can be used
to excellent advantage as part sub
stitutes for wheat -four in making
bread and biscuits. housewives are
urged by specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture to
try some of these in their bread
making. Not only will they be able
TO effect a saving in household en-
penses. but by reducing in the South
the consumption of wheat -four brought
IN from other sections of the coun
try, they will be helping materially
TO leave the railroads frcer TO trans.
port necessities.
Among the wheat-four substitutes
recommended by specialists for tho
/. Banana. cassava, n and
sweet potato.
,. Rice and kahr.
8. Soy beans and peanuts.
me substitutes in group l should
he mixed with good white four in
the proportion Of l to 3. The result
ing bread is excellent in every way.
Only a little less rich in protein than
ordinary bread. it is much richer ir
mineral and other important constitu-
ents. Dried bananas should be used
IN akin banana flour: the dasheen
"hu Get potato may be boiled and
then mixed with the flour. or the dried
product may be used.
itiCE. PEANUTS AND SOY
BEANS ARE GOOD FEEDERS
Rice and kaffir should be mixed with
nour IN the same proportion as the
substances in group Ii 10 &. Bread
made from kaiir is somewhat darker
IN color, but richer in protein and ash
than white bread. Brown rice -four
mixed with wheat is also somewhat
darker in color than white bread, but
Il is as rich in protein and other food
constituents. The use of polished rice
does not add either TO the appcarance
CT the bread nor TO its nutritive value.
SOY beans and peanuts are extreme
~ rich in protein and fat. Flour pre-
pared from either of them, when mixed
with white -four in the proportion of
one 10 three, is we'll adapted to make
a nutritious bread. Bread made from
whlte hour alone contains less than q
per cent protein and only about on
per cent of the Salt-free ash. while
nread made from soy bean and wheat
nour contains about Il per cent protein
ana l per cent salt-free ash. Bread
maze peanut and wheat -four contains
aoout II per cent protein and about
10 per cent salt-free ash. Thus IL is
seen that even when only one part Of
these substitutes is mixed with three
parts OF white -four the resultant bread
is about 40 TO so per cent richer in
protein and about so TO 500 per cen,
richer in mineral ingredients other than
salt.

G. A.. Cardwcll. the agricultural and
Immigration agent OF the Atlantic
Coast Line. is urging the cotton-seed
oil men and tho farmers along his
railway line in Virginia. North Caro-
lima and South Carolina to do all in
their power to increase the production
OF SOY beans and peanuts. In his
letter on this subject MIR. CardwelI
! brings out the fact that the peanuts
and the beans are not only valuable as
food for man and beast. but that the
oils that can be made from them arc
very necessary in the industrial world.
Soy bean oil. he says. has been found
10 he very valuable in the manufacture
OF paints. printing ink. soap, water
proof goods and medicines. and ais
for lubricating and lighting purposes.
Virginia is d big peanut grower, and
every farmer in the state ought to be
a soy bean grower.
There arc a thousand and one rea-
sons why we should raise live stock
on the farm. and here are a few of
them:
Because. while the owner is resting
and sleeping, live stock are working
for him. They are grazing in the fields,
eating hay in the barns, or digesting
the food they have eaten, whether they
are receiving any attention from their
owners or not.
Because live stock utilize the rough
or kinds of heritage on the farms,
which roughaGe cannot be turned into
money in any other way.
Az its weekly dinners. which have
become very popular. the Real Estate
Exchange Of Birmingham INDUCES in
"ncatless and wheatless" bills of fare.
This is done to set an example in aid
OF conserving the wheat and meat
products OF the country in this time
OF war. The members have a good
time feasting on corn bread and vege-
tables. coffee. tea and such like. and
are unanimous In recommending the
same policy TO boards of trade, COM
mercial clubs and other trade organi-
cations that are in the habit Of hav-
inE big dinners now and then. il not

THE proteins form one Of three large
i groups Of food principles Cthe other
two are fats and 'carbohydratesD' Ihe
living structures of the human body are
very largely composed Of protein Protein
may be compared to the metal used In the
building of a locomotive. The growing
body thus calls especially for protein more
than at any other time in life.
Proteins are also needed for repairing
the body, inasmuch as in the daily activi-
ties of life human tissue is broken down
and must be replaced, but only small
amount is reeded for this purpose, not
more than one-twentieth or one-tenth OF
the total food intake. All the protein
required for days ration for an adult
man is found in a loaf of bread Zone

other elements. fats and carbohydrates
(sugar and starch) are needed In larger
proportion. Proteins in excess of the
actual needs Of the body undergo putre-
faction with extreme readiness, the putre-
factive processes giving rise to Virulent
toxins that are carried TO every part OF
the body, where they poison and paralyzs
nerve and muscle tissue. The foods IN
which the protens predominant are lean
