 Mill<-the food without a substi- ute, is being urged upon people and it's food value is being shown in a practical way. A demonstrator cheerfully provides the information. Miss Democracys kitchen, where different
 substitutes which househoIders have to utilize, is an object of much inter- est. There is also a section devoted to demonstrations of how to put up preserves, either in the canned or dried form.
 Connecticut has only sheep enough to cloth one regiment, yet it's pastures | are better adapted for sheep raising than any other live stock. Such is the story told in placard in the sec 1 ton devoted to the encouragement 1 of sheep raising. Some fine sheep 1 stock is exhibited.
 l Patriotism, pleasure and profit is l the encouragem offered to those
 who will engage in pig raising. The State Council of Defense offers plans l for economical portable piggeries for those who apply.
