A GOOD MEAT SUBSTITUTE

By using cottage cheese as meat
substitute, housewives can render a
patriotic service to their country and
at the same time provide very nj.
tritious and satisfying dish for the
table. Cottage cheese contains a
larger percentage Of protein Che
chief material for body building) than
most meats, and furnishes this mate.
rial at lower cost. In every pound
of cottage cheese there is about one.
fifth Of pound of protein, nearly all
of which is digestible. Meats, on the
other hand, usually contain less pro.
tein, and besides have a certain
waste, such as bone and other ined.
ible material A pound of cottage
cheese daily would supply all the pro.
TEN required by the ordinary adult
engaged in sedentary occupation.
J. M Cadwallader, assistant profess
sor Of animal industry, Louisiana
State University, gives directions for
making cottage cheese as follows:
Equipment: Covered pail, Their
mometer, cheese bag, and good, clean
skinned milk, either hand or ma
chine separated.
First Step: Take good, clean skim.
med milk and place it in a covered
container which has been previously
scalded with boiling water, and warm
the milk to a temperature of 70 de.
grees to IS degrees F.
Second Step: Set the milk in a
clean, well ventilated room which has
& temperature of about Is degrees F.
If it is not possible to control the
temperature of the room, set the con-
tainer with the milk in tub of wa
ter which has been warmed to Is de-
grees F.
Third Step: When the milk is CO.
agulated into firm curd, which will
require "a to Sc hours, break up the
curd with stirrer and SLOWLY heat |
the curd to a temperature of 50 de-
grees F., taking about 80 minutes for
the operation. Let It stand for ten
minutes.
Fourth Step: Pour the contents
into bag made of cheap muslin and
allow it to drain until it is of the
proper firmness or to suit the taste.
Fifth Step: When the curd is Of
the proper frmness, which in most
cases will be firm enough to dish
with spoon, add one pound Of good,
thick cream for each ten pounds Of
eurd. Add also small amount Of
salt. Mix thoroughly. The quality
will be improved by running the
cheese through meat chopper or a
sausage grinder.
Yields: One hundred pounds skim.
ned milk will make fifteen or sixteen
pounds of cheese, which should sell
or not less than twenty cents
>ound
Uses: Cottage cheese contains the
'ame nutrients as lean meat, and,
'ound for pound, makes a good sub
titute for meat. Cheese is an excel
ont food for children, and very much
heaper than meat.
Marketing: It can be put up in
yster pals or jelly glasses-in half
'ound or pound lots. Success de.
ENDS upon using good milk and con. h
uming the cheese before It gets n

CHAPTER XVI.
A STRANGE Meeting.

Sometimes lolling upon Tantor's
back, sometimes roaming the jungle in
solitude, Korak made his way slowly
toward the west and south. He made
but a few miles a day, for he had
whole lifetime before him and no place
in particular to go. Possibly he would
have moved more rapidly but for the
thought which continually haunted him
that each mile he Travelled carried him
farther and farther away from Mer-
iem-no longer his Meriem, as of yOre,
it is true, but still as dear to him as
ever.
Thus he came upon the trail of the
sheik's band as it travelled down river
from the point where the sheik had
captured Meriem to it's own stockaded
village. Suddenly he came to the camp
of the renegade Swede Malbihn, whose
black attendants fled in terror at sight
of Tantor and korak.
Malbihn lay in a hammock beneath
a canopy before his tent His wounds
were painful, and he had lost much
blood He was very weak. He looked
UP in surprise as he heard the screams
of his men and saw them running to-
ward the gate.
And then from around the corner of
his tent loomed huge bulk, and Tan
tor, the great tusKer, lowered above
him.
Malbihn's boy, feeling neither affec.
tion nor loyalty for his master broke
and ran at the first glimpse of the
beast, and Malbihn was left alone and
helpless. The elephant stopped a
couple of PAGES from the wounded
mans hammock Malbihn covered,
moaning. He was too weak to escape.
He could only lie there with staring
eyes, gazing in horror into the blood
trimmed, angry little orbs fixed upon
him, and await his death.
Then, to his astonishment, a man
slid to the ground from the elephants
back. Almost at once Malbihn recog-
nized the strange figure as that of the
creature who consorted with apes and
baboons-the white warrior of the jun
gle. Malbihn covered still lower.
It was from Malbihn's dying lips
that Korak learned of the Swede's en-
counter with Baynes and how Meriem
was again in the camp of the sheik.
Korak lost no time in seeking her.
When speed was required Korak de-
pended upon no other muscles than his

LAYING HENS NEED
FRESH AIR

The first three months Of the year
are the months that demand efficient
poultry house ventilation If the stock
Is to be healthy and If egg production
Is to be kept at maximum, according
to the poultry authorities at the New
York state college Of agriculture.
Proof of insufficient ventilation usu-
ally is found in damp or frosted walls.
damp litter, close or impure air, flock,
with consequent low winter egg pro-
duction. The body Of the hen con-
stantly gives off moisture, and this
accumulates unless there Is enough
movement Of the air to carry it away.
Dampness fosters colds, and when a
cold is contracted, the body Is too
weak to resist the attack of a con-
tagious disease such as roup.
1t is stated further that the house
should at no time be tightly closed.
The exercise Of judgment, and few
trials, will show how much to leave
the windows open at night. Windows
should be removable so that they can
be taken out during the day, If 1t is
not storming. Experience indicates
that the birds will not suffer from the
cold If they are not in a draft, If they
are kept working, and if they are not
oyerfed.
Plenty of air, may best be had by
fitting windows in at the top, as this
will not let in the rain nor put drafts
directly on the floor. There should
be wide board at each edge Of the
window to keep the rain out; strip
of wood, sash-plug, or nail on this
strip will hold the window at any
desired angle. Both upper and lower
sash, where there are two, should be
arranged in this way to get the best
circulation,

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch 1o.2
Inches Long Contained 3o,4sO-
More In Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
of eggs produced by various species OF
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
according to the Allgemeine Fisch-
erei-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
in connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; 5S specimens of the
former and "a of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up &c
about 10000, but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger number OF
eggs in proportion to the weight OF
the fish.
The experiments were repeated With
perch (Perca fluviatilis), in this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number of eggs In
perch ranged from 3,710 for a fish four
inches long up to 3O,4SO for one 10.g
inches long; but in this species, also
the number of eggs per unit weight
of fish is much larger in small thar
in large fish.-Scientific American.

where my father is sheik mightler
than is yours. Will you come?'
Meriem sat in silence. She hated to
wound the only one who had offered
her protection and friendship, but she
did not want Abdul Kamak's love. De-
ceived by her silence, the man seized
her and strained her to him, but Mer-
lem struggled to free herself.
81 do not love you!" she cried. "Oh,
please do not make me hate you! You
are the only one who has shown kind
ness toward me, and l want to like
you, but 1 cannot love you!"
Abdul Kamak drew himself to his
full height.
"You will learn to love me-" he said,
''for I shall take you, whether you will
or no. You hate the Sheik, and so you
will not tell him, for if you do L Will

"You hate the sheik?" came grim
voice from behind them.
Both turned to see the sheik himself
standing a few PAGES from them. Alb
dull still held the picture in his hand.
Now he thrust it within his burnoose.
YES" he said, Il hate the sheik."
And as he spoke he sprang toward the
older man, felled him with blow and
dashed on across the village to the
line where his horse was picketed, sad
died and ready, for Abdul Kamak had
been about to ride forth to hunt when
he had seen the stranger girl alone by
the bushes.
Leaping into the saddle, Abdul Ka-
max dashed for the village gates. The
sheik, momentarily stunned by the
blow that had felled him, now stag
gered to his feet, shouting Justify to
his followers to stop the escaping
Arab.
A dozen blacks leaped forward to in
tercept the horseman, only to be rid
den down or brushed aside by the muz-
zle of Abdul Kamak's long musket,
which he lashed from side to side about
him as he spurred on toward the gate.
But here he must surely be inter-
cepted. Already the two blacks sta
toned there were pushing the unwieldy

Textile Tests to Ascertain
If Cloth Is AduIterated or
Misrepresented in Any Way

The laws Of this country offer no
protection to the purchaser of mate
rails. Therefore to protect them
selves, women should know few prac-'
tical tests to determine the content
and value Of materials. The object In
making these tests Is to discover IL
cloth is adulterated, artif1cially
dressed or misrepresented In any way.
The following tests from Extension
Circular Al, Principles Of Sewing, Uni
versity of Missouri college of agricul-
ture, Columbia, may be used in any
home:
1. If the water is dropped on cot
ton and linen goods, the moisture
spreads, the moisture spreads rapid
ly on linen but will remain unabsorb-
ed on the cotton for some time. This
Is not always a safe test as cotton
and linen are often heavily sized with
dressing, which prevents the water
from being absorbed.
2. A much safer test may be made
by dropping glycerine on cotton and
linen. Linen will become transpar-
ent, but cotton will not be affected.
8. Crushing cotton and linen ma
terials in the hands will show the diff
ference in the materials, as linen
wrinkles more than cotton.
4. Cotton and wool mixtures when
moistened wrinkle more than pure
wool materials.
8. Material may be tested by pull
ing out threads and examining the
ends Cotton fibers are short with
fuzzy ends, while linen f1bers are long,
with uneven ends, usually pointed.
Wool f1bers are short, kinky and stiff !;
fibers of reeled silk are long, straight
and lustrous, while f1bers of spun silk
are short and easily broken.
g. Sizing may be discovered by rub.
bing the material between the hands
to see if the dressing will come out.
Washing will also remove dressing.
Z. Each fiber has a characteristic
burning test which may be easily dis
tinguished.
a. Cotton burns quickly with fame.
b. Linen burns like cotton, but Is
not inf1ammable, as it has less Oil in
the fiber and less air in the woven
cloth.
C. Wool burns slowly, giving off
an odor like burnt feathers and leaves
gummy residue.
d. Silk burns more slowly and with
less odor than wool. 1t leaves crisp
ash Silk leaves more ash when
weighted.

| Will Be Worthy of It.

I may not reach the heights I seek,
My untried strength may fail me,
Or half way up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place never gain,
Herein lies comfort for my pain,
will be worthy of 1t.
I may not triumph in success.
Despite my earnest labor;
I may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor-
But though my goal I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me,
will be worthy of it.
The golden glory of loves light
May never fall on my way.
My path may always lead through night
Like some deserted byway.
Though 1ifes dearest joy I miss,
There lies a nameless strength in this
I will be worthy of 1t.

Bee Farmers Declare Honey
Has the Food Value of Meat

A pound Of honey or pound of sir
Ioin steak-which shall 1t be? That
there is as much food value in one as
in another has been proved at the bee
farm at the University of Wisconsin.
To emphasize the Importance of pro-
noting beekeeping in Wisconsin as a
profitable business pursuit, the univer
sity extends its endeavors to the bee
keepers of the state, in addition to the
instruction given the students in agri
culture in classes.
Wisconsin annually produces about
/ 500 tone of choice honey, but the bee
keeping industry has not advanced to
the point of recognition as a distinct
specialized branch of agriculture, al
though much of the undeyeloped land
in Wisconsin and most of the present
cultivated land is not occupied as bee
pasture a majority of it offers oppor-
tunity for excellent bee 'locations."

Ten Rules for HousehoIders
To Obtain Greatest Heating
Efficiency and to Save Goa

The efficiency with which the house
holder operates his heating plant de-
pends mainly upon the type Of furnace
and the conditions under which it is
installed and operated. In the inter-
ests of fuel conservation during the
present extension division, co-operat-
ing with the state council of defense,
puts out the following suggestion:
1. The base of the heater must be
tight aud must make an alright con-
nection with the floor so that no air
can leak into the ash pit.
.. The chimney and all connections
into it must be tight. A burning match
or candle held close to all joints will
indicate leaks.
8. The chimney should be high
enough. The top should be at least
feet above around surrounding OBJ
jects.
4. The smoke pipe from the furnace
to the chimney should be straight
short, and should grade up to the
chimney.
=. 1uS CRATES LuuSL uOL u6 WdIpGu,
must move easily and should have no
holes or broken places for unburned
coal to drop through.
6. All basement piping, heater sur.
faces and smoke pipes should be GOV.
cred with asbestos covering.
Z. A shut-off damper should be pro.
yided in the smoke pipe to control the
intensity of the chimney draft and q
check draft damper is required in the
smoke pipe beyond the shut-off damp.
er.
8. There should be a lift or slide
damper in the fire door and a draft
damper in the ash pit door.
9. For highest efficiency, some type
of automatic draft regulator such as q
thermostat should be provided.
10. All doors and windows in the
house should be as tight as possible
