No food, regardless of its merits, will
appeal TO the consumer unless it can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes TO the
table as an uninvlting, glutinous mass,
except in certain sections of the South
ern states. where 1t Is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, flaky ker-
nels of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. II
is very probable that the attractive APP
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness Of
rice in that state.
In seeking information on the art or
cooking rice, no mistake is made In re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value OF this cereal has been APP
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of ore pint of rice, after thor
ough washing, which she considers i'm
portant, ito a quart and a pint OF wa
ter" and a teaspOonful of common
salt. "This is to be boiled over quick
fire for ten minutes, stirring OCCASION
aliv. Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over very slow fire, and allow Ii to
steam for IS minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy, according to the quantity OF
water left ON 1t when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity OF
water and the shorter the steaIning,
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used in
boiling rice or Mt least notifications OF
the recipe given, but it must he re-
membered that the results should not
be a glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount OF
water used and the length OF time In
steaming.

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale OF wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye In 1917 was S270,000,000 while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
Melted S40000,000 additional OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be-
Ing spent In Improvements In farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, and in
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos. buying Victory bonds,
paying off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the in
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t is the same story
all over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large In
crease In the number of settlers; the
Improvement in the extent of the cul-
fivated areas and agricultural produc-

over 1916 was S77,000000.
This wonderful progress that Sas
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country or the continent,
showing future of great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet I'M
TILED, and of land as good as any OF
that which is now giving its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t is true
that the cost of production has in
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves
large balance to the credit of the pro-
Queer.

than many other sorts of greer leaves.
If we serve greens with hardboiled
egg for garnlsh, we have dish very
rich in iron, for the egg yOlk con-
tributes its share.
Besides the iron and other mineral
salts, the leaf vegetables contain a
very important substance which the
body must have for normal growth and
development. This substance, recently
discovered and for which a name has
not yet been given, is also found In
butterfat and some other animal fats,
but not in every food.
Greens have a place Of real worth
in the diet and should be used in every
household not only in springtime but
late into the summer and, when pro-
durable, in the winter also. The
tender beet tops, celery tops, radish
tops, onion tops, and turnip tops
should not be discarded, but served as
green's. A little space in the garden
devoted to spinach, New Zealand spin
ach. or French chard will supply the
family with summer green's and also
should afford some material for can

Lettuce leaves, which are some
times cooked for greens, and spinach,
both being mild favored and contain
ing much water, require no water for
cooking In addition to that which clings
TO the leaves from washing. Other
stronger-favored greens are usually
cooked In n small amount OF water.
Greens should be cooked until tender,
but not overlooked. A tiny bit OF
baking soda added TO the water they
are cooked in will help the greens to
retain their color.

II is springtime! Don't neglect to
give your family some good old-fash-
Toned green's. If you live in a large
city, you may have to depend upon the
greens which some country woman
brings to market or upon spinach or
kale, which can usually be bought even
In winter. II you live in the country,
perhaps your instinct has already told
you that the tender green leaves OF
the dandelon. lamb's-quarter, wild
mustard, or whatever variety of green's
your locality affords are waiting for
someone to gather them for food,
People from primitive times m this
have manifested craving for green
food as winter passes and sprlngtime
approaches. Probably this craving
arises from real need Of our bodies
for the materials which such foods
furnish.
