GOOD FARM POTATO STORAGE
Bulletin Issued by North Dakota Col

and Pits.

A bulletin on farm potato storage has
inst been issued by the North Dakota
Agricultural college. 1t describes the
building of potato cellars and pits that
can be made cheaply. There may De
greater need of such storage this ran
than usual. It may be difficult to Sc
c,,re cars when they are needed, and II
digging is delayed for lack of cars
+here will be danger of the potatoes
freezing in the field. Towns have OFTEN
taken up the local supply of potatoes
but this year nearly everybody in town
has raised enough potatoes for their
own use. so that the farmer will either
have to store or ship his surplus po-
tatoes. A potato cellar or pit on the
farm will also cut out the time that 1t
would take to haul the potatoes TO
town.

tablespoonful of salt. Boil for three-quarters
of an hour or until the shell cracks, then re-

In opening, place the terrapn upside down
in a large bowl to save the liquor. First, re

with great care-should the gall bag break,
the whole terrapin will be spoiled. Also re-
move the sand bag and intestines and cut off
the head.
Now, take the meat and liver from tho she'll,

the drained hot terrapin that has been placed
in heated tureen.
In winter, when terrapins are torpid, the
intestines are used by many cooks TO increase
the quantity. They should be thoroughly
washed covered with fresh, cold water cooked
for one hour and cut into small pieces. They

NOR the housekeeper who is seeking about
II for inexpensive foods and at the same
n time for those that are good eating,
il nav prove helpful to know that there is
variety of the delicious and expensive terrapir
known as the fresh water terrapin' Ihese
are generally from eight to eleven inches long
light graysh green in color, with dark iongi-
tudinal stripes and yellow bellied
To be eaten at their best they should be
secured in October and penned In dark cellar
where range Of movement should DO limited.
Placed on damp straw or hay and plentifully
supplied with celery up to the time Of winter
torpidity, during which the intestinal tract is
cleared, the flesh becomes tender and gelati-
nous.
Naturally this luxury seems rather remote
from the dweller In city apartment, for the
"sliders," as the fresh water terrapin are called
do not roam by choice along the city pave
ments. nor is 1t easy to find a dark cellar IN
an apartment house where they may lead a
bameless existence while they consume celery
and fatten for future delights. AS yet they
are not in the markets, but 1t would take very
little demand from the consumer to bring them
Jersey are full Of them.
But although this is the best method Of fat
tening. freshly caught specimens may be made
into a number of delicious and tempting dishes.
But why" says the housekeeper, 'if the
fresh water turtle is such delicacy. does not
everybody know about 1t and enjoy it?'
The answer may be reminder that for
years the famous diamond back" was enjoyed
solely by the negro of the South, unenvied and
unmolested by his master, whose descendants
pay fabulous prices for the formerly neglected
delicacy.
Careful cooking and preparation are neces
sary, however, to secure the best results. Di
rectons must be followed exactly if you wish
to secure the epicurean dish that is possible
from these ordinary fresh water turtles.

In planning the menus for the COM
ing week this thought has been borne
in mind. The orange roll and the Gin
namon gingerbread are the only two
desserts into which wheat -four enters.
There are really three meatless days
during the week--Tuesday, Friday and
SATURDAY. Fish is served for the even.
ing dinner Tuesday and Saturday and
a meat substitute on Friday. This re-
duces the butchers bill materially, yet
the meals will be found appetiring and
satisfying. with high food values.
Particular attention IL directed to
the recipes given for old-fashioned
buckwhcat cakes, made with yeast and
cornmeal: the mock cream pads. made
from whole wheat -four, and the honey
and oatmeal bread. All these may be
highly recommended.
In purchasing the supplies for the
week four pounds of loiu of pork at 30
cents pound will be needed. Have the
butcher crack the bones 40 that IL can
be easily carved. Also a three-pound
steak. at IS cents a pound, should be
provided.
