agents OF STATE
AT EXPOSITION

For the purpose Of educating the
people to the use OF different COM
binations of substitute flours, the
home economics department Of the
agricultural college is making a spe-
cial feature Of baking exhibitions,
using these combinations in its
booth in the agricultural building at
the State fair: Rice, white and yell
low corn flour, potato flour and bar
ley flour are also on display. All
these flours can now be obtained at
the grocers in any quantity with the
exception OF the potato flour. These
flours retail at from to 10 cents a
pound and are equal in food value to
wheat flour, but of course, are con-
siderably darker. The potato and
rice flours are in special demand for
the finer grades of cooking on ac-
count of their Wilderness. Practice
makes perfection, and the housewife
must not become discouraged If the
first time she tries some of these
new recipes, she Is not successful,
but try them again until she has OBJ
! tanned the desired results. Recipes,
which have been tested by demon
stration agents throughout the state,
are given out at the booth Miss Inez

Mrs. Mabel Hollis, state cottage
cheese agent, ie demonstrating this
palatable and nourishing article of
food, in the same booth as the home
economics apartment A special call
! has been issued for persons having a
plentiful supply Of milk on hand to
J convert it into this food for use on
their tables, thus conserving the
meat supply.
The junket method is the one that
is being widely advocated by the
government, as it is more sanitary,
and more uniform results are OBJ
tatned by its use. Still many prefer
the old method of scalding the milk.
Various dishes, concocted from the
cheese, are on display and Mrs. Hol-
LIS is giving out recipes. which have
been tested by the government for
the use Of this food.
The cold pack method Of canning
garden vegetables and fruits is being
demonstrated by the different gar
den clubs of the city and this work
