Hreadless Meals Save Wheat.

OsSsOSS Ss'o
How are you saving wheat? One
way Is to serve breadless meals now
and then. Have you ever tried them?
Breadless meals need planning
ahead. You can't take just any menu
and take the bread out and expect the
family to like it. Bread has several
functions in the meal, and fully de-
serves the high opinion which we have
Of it. It is one of our best foods for
fuel, furnishing carbohydrate In the
form Of starch and also body building
protein and mineral substances. But
If the meal contains enough other food
to furnish the starch and the protein
needed why not save the bread?
Try planning your meals so that
these wheat-saving dishes take the
place Of the bread. Potatoes. sweet
potatoes or dasheens-mashed, baked,
boiled or riced-rice, oven-fried corn
meal mush, hominy grits, large hom.
my, baked beans, lima beans, split
peas-all are good served as vege-
tables, with meat and gravy. 1t is not
necessary to serve more than one Of
these starchy foods at meal, but
serving two Of them, for instance,
well-browned, crusty croquettes or
fried mush (and these can be cooked
in the oven instead Of in the fat ket-
tle) in addition to potatoes or sweet
potatoes, makes the meal more tasty
for many of us and is an easy way Of
securing variety. Aside from the
question Of economy and convenience
the important thing In such a case is
not the number of cereal foods served,
but the character of the meal as
whole, which must be truly varied and
not made up almost entirely of any
single type Of food. We must have
other kinds Of food in our diet in
abundance as well as starchy foods.
Therefore, in planning your bread
less meals make sure that you serve
an abundance Of fresh vegetables,
such as green cabbage, kale, turnip
tops, onions, onion tops, dandelions
and other green's, asparagus, green
peas, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and
so on. choosing those which are In sea-
SOu uuu dDulAO1ut III your SdTUeu OF
your market. With varied meal
planned in the usual way, except that
the servings of the starchy foods and
the vegetables are larger than usual
to make up for the bread, you can
have a breakfast, dinner or supper
which may be pleasing to the taste and
which will meet the body needs.
There are other food combinations
and dishes which you can take advan.
tage of in planning the meals with
bread. For instance, you may prefer
to replace part of your usual allow
ance of bread with wheat-saving
dessert. These desserts furnish much
the same food materials as bread, but
in a different form: Rice pudding.
hominy pudding, Indian pudding, tapi.
oca cream or fruit tapioca, cornstarch
pudding, baked bananas (use bananas
which are underripe, because they are
richer in starch than the ripe ones)
or gingerbread made fr0ri the wheat
ubstltutes.

LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL
Necessary Food Furnished for Plants
and Is Great Aid in Speeding
Up Many Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
While lime is not usually listed
among the commercial fertilizers, it
furnishes necessary food for plants
and when properly used is great
aid in speeding up the production Of
many crops. Its greatest value Is for
correcting acidity of the soil under
which condition many plants will not
thrive. 1t also improves the soils
physical condition and influences ia
vorably the decomposition of organic
matter. In some cases it may make
available to some extent soluble forms
OF potash and other minerals. It is
particularly valuable If there is good
supply Of organic matter in the soil.
Spring is good time to apply lime,
particularly the hydrated form and
specialists Of the department of agri-
culture are urging that local limestone
deposits be utilized in every possible
way. This is already being done in.
many places but no doubt the practice
could be widely extended. However,
it involves, in the case of grinding, the
purchase and delivery Of grinding ma
chinery, which may be difficult to ac-
complish, and in the case Of local
burning 1t means the purchase and de-
livery of fuel unless there is local fuel
available. Wherever fuel, either wood
or coal, is available, however, togeth-
er with local supply u limestone
every effort should be put forth to
make use Of this limestone in the pres.
ent emergency.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never In the history Of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work. and
every acre that could be profitably
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation, and as
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized it was
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as we'll. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
ere aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
in dollars and cents.
II many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the LIST Of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been so heavy, however, as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain Is terminating read.
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades Of the cereal are already show
ing.
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
q record harvest. If the season from
nov on is as favorable as it has begun
these hopes should be realized. Nj.
]. d. McGregor of the Federal Food
Board, who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were excellent. Speaking
generally" he said, "the crops have
never gone into the ground in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break Of luck us far as the wealth
er is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
connection with the Food Control
Board, taking him in all parts Of the
West. Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
opportunities Of observing conditions

always hail with delight the first
tender stalks Of rhubarb that grow in
my garden. They are the advance
guard of so many good things in the
way Of fresh fruits and vegetables
that the spring and summer bring to
us.
Even the back yard or city garden
can have It's clump Of rhubarb. find
1t one Of the most useful plants in my
garden. By cutting out the bloom
stalk before 1t natures and pulling the
stalks often have good rhubarb all
summer. If neglected too long the leaf
stalks become woody, but the young
leaves in the center Of the crown will
be tender and disable all summer. The
leaf area should not be reduced too
much by harvesting, as 1t will weaken
the root and reduce the harvest the
following year. Even when fruits come
I do not forget the rhubarD, and in pre-
serving time 1t repays me for my care
by saving me money.
! Making Preserves.
Strawberries and raspberries are
usually expensive to buy by the crate
for preserving, but I make preserves,
using from one-third to one-half by
weight of rhubarb. Both raspberries
and strawberries have decided flavor,
so that the rhubarb is not noticeable.
I allow the rhubarb to cook down
until fairly concentrated before adding
the berries. The result is a delicious
jam or preserve.
From time to time I cut the rhu-
barb and, IL 1t Is not wanted for i'm
mediate use, put up few cans for
winter. I have kept some very sue
cessfully by cutting into half-inch
pieces, packing in Jars and filling to
overlooking with cold water, then seal
ing the jars as usual.
Later in the summer I make a few
Jars Of rhubarb conserve, cooking the
rhubarb with sugar until concentrated,
then adding nuts and raisins.
When rhubarb made It's appearance
this spring resolved to find way to
use 1t without using more than my
share Of sugar. I have found that by
using corn strip I can make rhubarb
sauce successfully.
Rhubarb Sauce.
Wash the rhubarb and cut in half
inch pieces. Put three cupfuls Of the
cut rhubarb In a saucepan with two
tablespoonful Of water and cook for
five minutes. Add one and one-half
cupfuls of corn strip and cook. to-
gether until the rhubarb is tender.
If you desire sweeter sauce, a
tablespoonful or so of sugar will help.
One Of my favorite desserts is rhu-
barb tapioca.
Rhubarb Tapioca.
Soak half cupful Of pearl tapioca
In two cupfuls of water until soft. Put
in double boiler and cook until clear,
adding more water if necessary. Add
half teaspoonful of salt and stir in
two cupfuls Of rhubarb sauce. When
cool add teaspoonful of vanilla.
Chill and serve with cream.
