An important way in which the

a way as to extend its flavor to other
and cheaper foods. In using meat so

tomatoes and green peppers; or cut

URGES ECONOMY IN
FAMILY MEAT BILL
Secretary Houston Says Step
Is Necessary to Conserve
Nations Food Supply.

A plea for economy in the family
meat bill has been sent broadcast by
Secretary of Agriculture Houston.
This is necessary for household
economy, it is declared, and to con-
serve the nations food supply.
Many persons, says the statement,
eat over-abundantly OF meat. In such
cases II should be possible, IL the in
centive is great enough, to reduce ex-
penditure for meat by reducing the
amount purchased. Where meat has
been purchased by telephone or or
ders to butchers boy, personal shop
ping and careful selection may make
saving possible. Still another pos-
sibility for economizing is to purchase
cheaper cuts and to compensate for
any toughness and less desirable
flavor by preparing them more care
fully for the table. Finally, economy
often may be achieved by utilizing the
meat more completely, including the
trimmings and bones. and left-overs.
Nutriment I'm Cheaper Cuts.
In purchasing the cheaper, and
often tougher cuts of meat instead of
the choicer cuts, a housewife is losing
little, II any, nutriment, provided, of
course, the proportion of bone to meat
is no greater than in the more costly
kinds. She rather is sacrificing only
texture or flavor or ease of prepara-
tion for the sake of cheapness; and, IL
she wishes to produce dishes as palat-
able as those made from expensive
meats, must expend more care on pre-
pairing, navoring and cooking.

LAND CLEARING IN
NORTHERN WISCONSIN
C. 0. LiYirc ston Explains the Progress Made
in Methods of Pulling Stumps

which gave thirty-two demonstrations
in sixteen counties in the upper part
Of the state during last year. This
land clearing special was a concrete
example of what an organized effort
could do to assist in solving the cut
over land problems. The special was
a result of close cooperation on the
part of the college of agriculture, the
Northwestern, Omaha and 500 rail
roads, the Flynn, Zimmerman, Kirstin,
Hercules companies manufacturers of
land clearing equipment and the Du-
Pont powder company. The expenses
were distributed and the state paid
less than per cent of the total cost.
1t was conclusively shown that 20 per
cent low grade dynamite was safer
and would do the work of higher grad
eS on the medium ana heavier SOILS,
in most cases at saving of two cents
pound. If the seven and half mil
lion acres were to be cleared with dy-
Mantle alone, that fact would save the
state five or ten million dollars"
The land-clearing work, Mr.. Licing-
ston stated, has just begun, and much
remains to be done both in the matter
of Investigations and demonstrations
In outlining a plan for future effort,
he said; "Organize and equip another
train which will be operated for five
months each year for two years. Since
it is not advisable to conduct investi-
gational and Unconstitutional work at
the same time, let the first half of
each season be devoted exclusively to
experiment and the latter half to de-
monstration."
