The Harvest Emergency
INSTRUCTIONS TO FARMERS RE-
GARDING LATE MATCHING
By A. 8. Chaplin

HATCH EARLY has been the slo-
gan for poultry men up to the pres
ent time and early Matching is i'm
portant for eggs next winter.
On account Of war. great in
crease in production Of poultry and
eggs will be necessary in Kentucky
this year. Farmers are urged to
save all pullets for egg production
and not kill them for fryers. Keep
up the Matching through May.
Help increase the poultry produc-
ton of the L. :. one hundred mil
lion pounds. Let us increase one
pound of poultry meat for every
man, woman and child. II can be
done easily and Kentucky should
do her share.
Produce infertile eggs after breed
ing season by removing all male
birds from the flocks. The pro-
duction of infertile eggs will mean
saving of Si5,0OOOO0 in market
ing eggs this season.
Information and bulletins on
housing, feeding, diseases, etc, OF
poultry and methods OF home pre-
servation of eggs may be obtained
from the College of Agriculture

stances present in the milk from
which il is made. II should, there
fore. he eaten with coarse bread
which supplies starch, mineral sub
stances and "roughage," or with
white bread and vegetables, or white
bread and frui..
The peasants Of many European
countries live largely on coarse
bread and cheese. There is a well
authenticated record Of a man who
lived for months on bread, cheese
and fruit-usually oranges and ba-
nanas. According To his own story,
he felt well and enjoyed his food.
In another case, several young
men lived on similar diet for
many days without suffering from
constipation or any other digestive
disturbances. Digestion experiments
showed that about nine parts out OF
every ten of the protein of cheese
were digested. and nearly "a large a
fraction Of the fat. DO not lose sight,
however of the fact that no fat was
eaten besides that in the cheese and
that the diet included an abundance
of fruit.
In the light of what we know
about the composition Of cheese, the
custom of putting lettuce into cheese
sandwiches or Of laying slices of
tomato on top of them is good one.
The former is a good way to provide
"roughage" in the case Of sand

in the case Of those that are to be
eaten with the knife and fork, as
club sandwiches are. Eating celery
with cheese is also a good food habit.
Now consider a few Of the cooked
dishes in which cheese is used,
cheese fondue, as ordinarily made,
contains milk and butter in addition

THE VALUE OF CHEESE
BY Caroline L. Hunt

Cheese is used in two ways in most
households, in small amounts for ia
,oring and in large amounts as the
chief protein of fuud. The latter
way Of using /. is al special interest
just now as summer approaches.
Cheese is a good hot weather food,
for il keeps better than meat and
besides can be served uncooked IL
need be.
Cheese is believed by many people
to be "indigestible." by which they
mean that IL causes digestive dis
turbances in the course of being as
simulated. not that il actually escapes
digestion. This bad reputation is
largely due, no doubt, TO two causes.
First, too much cheese is eaten at
one time; and second, il is not prop
erly combined with other foods.
Two ounces of ordinary cheese or
slice one-fourth Of an inch thick and
large enough to cover an ordinary
slice of bread (about 3x3 inches) is
enough protein-rich food at meal
for almost anyone. A wood-chopper
would probably need more on cold
day but his dietary needs are the ex-
ception, not the rule.
Next consider the matter of COM
bining cheese with other foods. Or
binary American cheese contains
more fat than medium-fat pork
chops do, even when all of the fat
along the edge Of the chops, which
most people reject, is included
Think Of eating pork chops, fat and
all. and Of adding butter besides
And yet some people butter the
bread for cheese sandwiches and
use butter in the preparation Of such
dishes as macaroni and cheese,
cheese fondue, and cheese sauce.
There is little in cheese besides
protein, fat and common salt. There

thickens. Add the cheese, cut into
small pieces and cook until IL melts,
stirring constantly. Season with
Salt and paprika.
put the macaroni into baking
dish and pour the sauce over IL. II
there Is not enough sauce to cover
macaroni, add little milk. Bake
in moderate oven until brown on
top. This dish may be covered with
buttercd crumbs before IL is baked.
In summer, when IL is not desirable
to heat the oven, the sauce and
macaroni can be heated together on
top Of the stove.
There are many other kinds OF
cheese besides ordinary American
cheese on the market. Most of them,
however. are So highly favored that
they are used chiefly for seasoning.
The chief exceptions are cottage
cheese and the so-callcd cream
cheese" bought in small packages
wrapped in tinfoil. So far as food
value is concerned these two kinds
are much alike. Both are somewhat
less rich in protein and considerable
less rich in fat than ordinary cheese.
When cottage cheese is made at
home there is usually considerable
loss in fa.. There is no great object,
therefore. in making il from whole
milk. N is more economically made
/ from skim milk and then enriched
by the addition Of butter or cream.
Many people add caraway seeds, or
pimentoes cut into small pieces. or
other srasonings to the cheese.
" milk is quite sour the curd can
b. separated without heat. In
France small earthenware molds,
with holes in the bottom, are used
for draining the raw curd. They
are set on racks so that the whey
can run of. The curd takes the
shape Of the molds and can be turn
ed out as baked custard is. In this
case the cheese Is eaten with cream
instead Of being mixed with IL.

fields. There could be no better
expression of true patriotic devo-
ton to the country. IL has been
demonstrated through the boys
and girls clubs that il is possible
for the farm family to supply itsel!
with much Of the food required,
thereby releasing the commercial
product OF the country for the needs
of the people in the cities and in
foreign lands.
In n normal season II is certain
that there will be large quantities
of perishable products which can
not be properly preserved in the
home. To meet this emergency II
is recommended that local and
municipal drying and canning es-
Establishments be improvised to con-
serve this material.
Keeping UP the Meat Supply
The live stock holdings of the
farmers of the United States are
already too low. Indeed an early
increase must come chiefly through
the enlarging of our food supply
by more successful methods OF
feeding. and through more COM
plete control of contagious dis
eases.
Milk production could be increas-
ed fully one-fourth by the more
liberal and intelligent feeding. Pork
production could be increased sub
stantially through the more ex-
tcnsive use of fall litters, better
care and feeding. The poultry pro-
ducts of the United States could
be doubled within a year.
Contagious diseases of farm ami
mails take toll of more than a
quarter Of billion dollars annually
More than half Of this loss is due
to comfortable diseases, such as
hog cholera, blackleg, and Texas
fever. The Federal Government, CO.
operating with the States, could
probably expand its intensive re-
gulatory services so as to embrace
every important live stock in this
country.
The Harvest Emergency
The outstanding of matured
crop promptly is often the most
vital and crucial point in produc-
ton and is the point OF the heaviest
labor demand on the farm. We sug-
gest that the Federal Department

Sir Ernest Shackleton to
Serve in War Forces

Sydney, Australia, April IS. - Sir
Ernest Shackleton, who lately reached
here from New Zealand, fresh from
the rescue OF the survivors of the
Macintosh party of his latest Ant
arctic expedition will soon be on his
way to England to serve in the war
forces.
That's where I'm going next--to
the war; he said. IT'S the only place
Tor any man who is free and able to
fight. 1t may interest people to know
That there are nine of our men al
ready at the front and twenty more on
the way to 1t. one is serving in the
tanks while another has been killed
in the trenches"
Asked about future Antarctic ex-
ploration he said: There is no time
TO talk about it until the war is done,
BY and by will do for that"
Speaking of the results of the recent
expedition, he said: I'm the course OF
drift in the Endurance we discovered
zoo miles of new coastline and wiped
that American land-Morrell Land
off the map because it does not exist.
We sounded 1900 fathoms over it.
For the rest, there has been a COM
plete hydrographical survey of the
Weddell Sea and all the meteoroIog-
ical, magnetic and other records were
saved. The Ross Sea portion of the
expedition under Captain Mackintosh
carried out fully the object for which
1t was intended, namely, to lay n de-
pot at S3 south, Mount Hope. 1t was
done under extraordinary conditions
owing to the Aurora having drifted out
and the fact that all the dogs but
four were dead"
