How to Whitewash
RH C. O. WHITE

Whttewash can be applied with large brush. but best results are secured by using the mixture as a spray. An ordi- nary hand-spray pump is well adapted for spraying the interior of building.
 Whitewash is economical to make and use. Half a bushel of unslacked lime is required. The lime is slacked with warm water and kept covered durig the slak- ing process. The liquid is then strained through fine sieve strainer. Next dis solve a peck of salt in warm water and add the solution to the dissolved lime. Then add three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste, one-half pozsz.- Spanish whiting and one pound of glue, which has been dissolved over the stove Next add five gallons hot water to the mixture; stir we'll and let it stand a few days, keeping the utensil covered to pre- vent dirt from mixing with the white wash
 If desired, various shades of coIoring material may be added to make the solu- tion attractive: Spanish brown and yell low ochre are good colors to use.
 Heat the solution before applying it and do the spraying before it cools. Best results are secured by straining the mix ture before using. This kind of white wash adheres to the walls and ceilings leaves a smooth coat, is long lasting and has a brilliant finish or surface) when dry.

Three Good Sponge Cakes
Nith Su hstitutes

Three sponge cakes, one of corn flour. one of rice flour, and one of barley flour. all delicate and fine, have been made from three recipes. The cooks who made them followed the directions known to our mothers the weight of the eggs in sugar and half the weight in flour. Here are the recipes Proceed carefully; either weigh the materials, following the fashioned rule for sponge cake, or use measuring cup. Sift the flour before measuring and measure lightly
 Barley Sponge Cake-Barley flour, F cups; sugar, i cup; eggs, 4; lemon juice, tablespoonful; salt, $ tea spoon.
 Corn Flour Sponge Cake-Corn flour, 1 cup; sugar, 1 cup; eggs, A. lemon juice. tablespoonfuls; salt, 1s tea spoon.
 Rice Sponge Cake-Rice flour. 4 cup; sugar, 1 cup: eggs, 4; lemon 1uice' tablespoons; salt, is teaspoonful.
 Directions for Mixing-Separate the yolks and whites of the eggs. Beat the yolks until light, add the sugar the salt and the lemon juice. Fold in alternately the flour and the stifly beaten whites.
 These cakes are all very nice and light. texture and color good. Barley has characteristic flavor. The corn flour cake is especially tender and all are of good texture. The extra lemon juice is used with rice and corn be- cause these Hours have slightly starchy taste.

Heard About the Farm
Farming for feed is the safest farm

Farming for feed is the safest farm ing.
 There is a lot of good to be said about manure.
 The old COW often pays for the mis- takes in farming.
 Buying a cheap bull to save money is like stopping the clock to save time.
 It costs to have mellow. productive soil and keep it so. The price is manure.
 The manure check is as certain as the cream check-providing a man will cash it with spreader.
 One farmer reports that his pasture carries from third to a fourth more cattle when he manures it. Nuf sed.
 A good milk COW works 24 hours a day. If ever a laborer is worthy of his hire. she is. Her hire is feed and care-pay her what she is worth
 Every dead kernel of corn planted this spring helps increase the number of stacker acres If there is only a 50 per cent stand in 40-acre field, 20 acres are lying idle all summer long but they taken just as much work as the 20 acres growing corn.

Poultry Supply

An indication of the alarming rate at which the poultry supply of this country is being reduced is found in the holdings Of dressed poultry in storage April l, this year as compared with the same date last year.
 In 2o5 storage houses reporting holdings for this year and last we find present holdings of 14,SO1,OOO pounds of dressed poultry as against 9, ,9SS, 900 pounds last year, decrease of H. 1S7 ,000 pounds, or about 43 pecent.( These storages show present holdings of roosters as 4,452 900 pounds as against 6,035 900 pounds last year; fowls, s,595,oOo pounds against A. 697,0O0; turkeys 2,1S9,000 pounds against 2,S91, 900 pounds last year.
 These big decreases are an indication of a condition which exists all over the country; and the alarming part of the matter is that it is the result of a large decrease during the past year of the amount of poultry on American farms With prices high both for poultry and for poultry feed the natural tendency has been to sell off the poultry from the farms so as to avoid the expense of feeding ! This has been done to such a great ex- tent that it is now grave threat against the continuance of our poultry industry and against the country's egg supply for next year.
 Our people can do without poultry dur ing wartime is necessary, but they can- not do without eggs, and further steps must be taken to portect the nations flu ture supply of eggs. Farmers should take these facts into consideration be- fore selling off all the poultry from their farms. With the present great short age as a guarantee of future prices both for eggs and poultry, and the experience n a yaq oS nn fA ,on poultry feedstuffs as well as poultry, the tendency from now on should be to in crease the holdings of live poultry on our farms rather than to sell off all the fowls If such is not the case, the government, as a war measure, will be compelled to take further drastic steps to protect our egg supply for the immediate future.

Canning for Market

Housewives and canning club members who wish to sell their canned products are urged by the bureau of markets. United States department of agriculture. to study their markets at the begin hing of the season and pack according to local demands for different products Secure orders for canned goods before putting them up, is the advice of the spe- cialists. Small lots of nonstandardized products are difficult to sell except among local buyers and are not pur- chased by the army, navy, commercial dealers, or any department of the govern ment.
 Home-canned food can be kept over from one season to the next, and those who have not sold their goods have re- serves to draw from for their home ta- hle. It is good policy. say the special ists, for the housewife to provide a reasonable surplus beyond the probable for the next crop year. While the bureau of markets is giving aid to producers on marketing problems, it says that it is difficult to place producers of small quantities of different kinds of products in touch with buyers. It urges home and club canners to learn the mar ktt,ng end of their business just as do producers in other lines of industry.

Standard Containers

All interstate shipments of fruits and vegetables in containers must be in pack ages that conform to the provisions of the United States standard container act, says an announcement from the bureau of markets, United States department ot agriculture, which is charged with the enforcement of the standard container act. The baskets, crates, hampers, and boxes must be in sizes containing half pints, pints, quarts or multiples Of quarts; slight variations either over or under size may be allowed, provided the average for any shipments conforms to the standards. Climax baskets for grapes can Dc uade only ln z. 4, and 12-quart sizes and c: the dimensions specified Tn the act.
 The variations from standard sizes are made, it is stated, because of the nature of the containers. they being usually rough finished. No allowance for prod ucts heaped over the edge of the con- tainer IS made, and the capacity of a eontainer is determined by stricken measure tests.
 Although the law applies only to inter state shipments it is probable according to the bureau, that intrastate shipments will be generally made in United States Noiiteh AilVl bCtduoe lidliS ufacturers have arranged to make no containers except those that comply with the federal size requirements. Even shippers whose products are usually con sumed in their own state are said to favor packages complying with the United States standard container act, because they have no assurance that their produce will not be sent across state boundaries before it is consumed.
 4 The enforcement of the standard con- tainer act will tend to eliminate decep- five practices in marketing fruits and vegetables, say the specialists, and will give square deal" to both the pur- chasing public and the trade. Over Al food products inspectors already sta toned in the large receiving markets are available for enforcing the act.

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED

quantity to replace one-fourth or one third of the flour in the original recipe. Use a trifle less shortening and you will also find less milk is needed tossup- ply the usual amount of moisture. The mixture always makes a softer dough than when wheat flour is used alone.
 Salmon Loaf-In g. bowl. rub smooth one can, of salmon, pouring into an other dish the juice to be used later in making the sauce. Add to the fish, three well beaten eggs one-half cup cracker crumbs, two tablespoons but ter with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in a buttered mold and steam one hour. For the sauce use one ta- blespoon butter mixed in a sauce pan over the fire, with one tablespoon flour. Add the fish juice and addition al milk to make full cup of liquid. Stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. If desired an egg may be added Garnish with parsley. One cup of peas may be added to the sauce which is poured over the loaf just before serving.
 Savory rice is made by cooking one cup rice previously washed, with one teaspoonful salt, one-half can toma- toes. one can salmon. one small minced onion, pepper to taste and sufficient water for cooking. After the whole starts cooking it may be transferred to the fireless cooker.
 Salmon sausage is made by f1afSing one can of salmon, adding one cup cracker crumbs, one egg well beaten, seasoning of salt, pepper and sage. Shape into cakes and fry in the usual manner. Garnish with parsley.
 There are so many uses for tho door stops which may be screwed in place; one friend uses them as legs for waste paper basket, legs for splint basket for chips, legs for fly trap and many others.
 It was my pleasure recently to see some very beautiful trays which every nature lover could duplicate. Under meath the glass in the frame, grass sprays previously pressed in natural positions were arranged. Towering over these sprays were beautiful speci- mems of butterflies. Some flowers re- tain their natural color after being pressed. These may be used either as a whole graceful plant or some flower sprays with fern leaves The back ground may be made of linen piece or of cardboard harmoniously tinted with water colors.
 Now that sugar must be conserved, the information given from the gov cup of molasses is equivalent to three fourths cup of sugar and one-fourth cup liquid. so in substituting in cake recipes calling for one cup sugar, use one-fourth cup sugar and one cup mo- lasses, cutting down the amount of liquid used by one-fourth cup.

SOY BEANS AS HUMAN FOOD

While the soy bean has been grown in the United States primarily as forage crop, its availability as a valuable food for human beings is being given increas- ing attention. Many schools of cookery and domestic science in this country, as well as home economics experts and home demonstration agents of the United States department of agriculture, have shown that dried beans can be used successfully in the same manner as navy beans. The variety and palatablity of the ways in which the beans can be served make them a desirable article of food.
 When prepared like the ordinary field or navy beans. the soy beans should be soaked for 10 or 12 hours or more, if necessary, and boiled slowly. The boiled soy beans, like boiled maya or field beans, may be seasoned and used as the principal part of meal as they are or may be made into bean loaf, bean cro- Quettes, or other dishes.
 When soy beans are three-mourths or more grown. the seed makes a palat- able and nutritious green vegetable.

Farmers and Bonds

More than s1 ,0OO, coo, 900 of American agri- cultural exports were sold to the Eu- ropean nations at war with Germany dur ing 1917. Had this nation maintained peace at the price of obedience to the German war zone decree this market would have been closed and this $1, 900, 100000 of agricultural products would most of them have rStted on farms and in warehouses, or been used in unproht- able ways with consequent stagnation and ruin to the American farmers.
 Interest as we'll as duty urges the American farmer to support his govern ment in this war, and by the purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds furnish 1t with the sinews of war.

WOMEN TO SAVE POTATOES

as a substitute for wheat flour in breads and pies and cakes; they are giving instructions in the making of potato loaf and scalloped and baked dishes. They are showing women how they can train their families to eat potatoes cheerfully three times day.
 In the cities the gospel of potatoes for patriotism is spread through the war kitchens. the neighborhood ccn- ters. the clubs, the churches, demon- strations in settlement houses, talks before Red Cross auxiliaries, etc. Po- tato booths are being arranged in the local food shows and in the retail stores and the schools and clubs are being enlisted in the big drive.
 In the country the work is not so spectacular but just as telling, for through the county organizations and the home demonstration agents volun- tary workers. the potato idea is car ried directly to thousands of women in their own homes
 These ome-demonstration workers are dedicating their time and energy to the work of aiding the women of the country in their war-conservation problems and are proving more and more every day that this is the mos, direct and practical route for carrying g an idea into the hearts and homes of American women.
 Even if you have never liked pota- toes before. you will like them fixed in the following ways:
 Potato puffs; Two cups mashed po- tatos two eggs. one cup grated cheese. one-half cup milk, one teaspoon salt Add the milk and salt to the potato and beat until thoroughly blended Add the beaten egg and the grated cheese Bake in greased tins or ramekins in slow oven.
 Belgian baked potatoes: Wash, pare and slice potatoes as for French fried Lay the strips in an oiled granite pan and bake in the oven. Salt and serve,

Clipping the Udders
Bv EARL ROGERS

A good many careful diarymen clip the udders of the milch cows with the regu- lar horse clippers. They also clip on the belly a little ways to keep the hair short where it would collect dirt that will fall into the pail while milking.
 There seems to be no objection so far as l have seen or heard and there are a ot of advantages. It is easy to brush what dirt there is off when you start to milk when the hair is short.
 Good bedding also helps to Keep cows clean It seems to be pretty expensive this year but still it makes more ma nure and cleaner milk and so is about as necessary as feed or water. like the shredded fodder pretty well for bedding. Some of it is good for the cows to pick over for at least one meal a day and the rest of it takes up the liquids better than straw it seems to me.
 In the bigger COW barns there is man who stays on the job nights just to keep the manure picked up. He is called the "noanure picker and these dairymen with 100 cows or more can keep one busv and the cows much cleaner by hav- ing him. Clean milk is becoming more and more a necessary and whatever helps to get it will pay
