COTTAGE CHEESE, A. DESIRA.
BILE FOOD EASILY PREPARED

Cottage cheese, most palatable anC
nutritious product, is one which car
be made on small scale. 1t serves
as convenient and economical means
of using skim milk and also supplies
the protein or bodybuilding part OF
the diet.
Cottage cheese is judged by its fla
vor and texture. 1t should have a
clean, mild, acid flavor and texture
smooth and free from Jumps. The
flavor can be controlled by use of
clean sweet milk and good starter,
but the texture depends on the man
ner of handling during the process.
One gallon of skim milk will make
about 12 pounds of cheese. If milk
is sweet it should be placed in warm
place and allowed to clabber, a small
amount of sour milk may be placed
with the sweet to hasten the process.
When milk has thickened firmly,
the curd should be stirred with a
spoon, place pan of curd in a vessel
of warm water (below boiling), cook
for about 30 minutes, keep water be-
low the boiling point all the time,
stir occasionally.
AT conclusion Of beating, pour curd
and whey into clean cloth and drain,
being careful not to drain too much,
to make cheese dry.
Remove curd and work with but
ter paddle until smooth and about the
consistency Of mashed potatoes, work
in salt and either sweet or sour
cream, to taste.
Cheese should be made often and
eaten fresh, although if kept cold it
will not spoil for several days, If it
is not to be eaten promptly it should
be stored in an earthenware or glass
vessel rather than one of tin or wood.
Cottage cheese may be served as a
salad with pineapple and mayonnaise.
Tomatoes may be stuffed with cottage
cheese and salad dressing put over
the top. Finely ground pimento pep

FARM NEWS ITEMS
(By Glenn S. Hensley, County Agent)
One Boy in Each County to be Given
a Free Week at the Missouri
State Fair.

State Fair.
The Missouri State Fair is contin-
uing its policy of offering to one boy
from each county in the State the op-
portunity to attend the State Fair at
the expense of the State Board OF
Agriculture. This boy is to be Sc.
lected on Saturday, July 9th, at Farm
ington by an examination in Arithme-
tic, Geography and Agriculture and
an essay on "The Farm Boys Part
in Winning the War" The boy max
ing the highest grades will be given
the right to attend the fair and the
Boys State Fair School. The one
making the second highest grade will
be chosen as an alternate and will
have the right to attend in case the
other one cannot.
The State Fair Board will pay all
expenses and furnish comfortable
quarters in the Boys Camp. The
meals will be prepared and served in
the Woman's Building by the facul-
ty of the Domestic Science depart
ment of one of the State Normal
Schools. The boys will be in charge
years and the board will spare 10
pains in making them comfortable
and giving them a profitable and
pleasant week.
This is a great opportunity for some
young man of ambition to see the
greatest fair of the Middle West.
The program this year consisting
of war activities and war equipment,
aeroplanes, trench warfare, etc., make
it especially attractive for young men
with good red American blood in their
veins.
The dates of the Fair are August
10-17. The examinations will be Civ
en- and the selections made by County
Superintendent J. C. Akers and Chair
man of the County Council of Defense,
Charles Schuttler, at Pennington, Ju-
ly 9Th.
All applicants must be between the
ages of IA and II, on August 10, 1913.
There is on reason why there
shouldn't be large number of boys
in this county who would like to spend
week at the State Fair at Sedalia
absolutely free of charge.
The examination will not be hard.
Come and do your best. You stand
just as good a chance to get to go as
any other boy. The examination vii.
be held in the County School Super
intendent's office at Pennington just
one week from next Saturday. Don't
forget the date-July 9th.

CLEARED $5.75 A
HUNDRED ON HOGS

Hogs will return a profit at pres
ent prices of feed and pork if they
are fed the proper ration. This fact
has been demonstrated by a feeding
test conducted by Luther Dawson, a
johnson county farmer. Mr.. Dawson
fed seven pigs from January Is, 1918,
to April 3, and made profit of $5.75
hundred on them. The pigs were
farrowed August 26, 1917. During the
feeding test, which was conducted
under dry lot conditions, the pigs con-
sumed 62.2 bushels of No. 2 corn,
l60 pounds Of tankagc, $50 pounds of
shorts, and 154 gallons of skim milk.
The total cost of feed for n days
was $125.45. The corn was charged
at $1.50 bushel, tankage at 500
ton, shorts at $3.50 a hundred, and
skim milk at 10 cents a gallon. At
the beginning of the experiment seven
pigs weighed $40 pounds, and at the
close 1850. They made an average
daily gain of 2.11 pounls. They re-
ceived an average daily ration of SO
ears Of corn, and 1-2 pounds of
shorts mixed with gallons of skim
milk and water. They received tank
age in a self-feeder. The hogs were
sold for $16.75 a hundred in Warrens-
burg, which was $5.75 above the cost
of production.
F. A. Gougler, county agent for
johnson county, and w. H. Rusk. ex-
tension specialist in animal husband
dy, representing the College of Agri-
culture, visited Mr.. Dawson's farm at
the close of the experiment and
weighed the animals. Mr.. Dawson
furnished the foregoing data. He did
not weigh the corn, but says that the
estimate of 62.2 bushels was high.
Attention is called to the fact that
Mr.. Dawson fed the pigs in dry lot.
If he had had forage his profits would
have been even greater, because feed
ing demonstrations have shown re-
peatedly that greater profits can be
made when the ration is supplemented
with forage.

TO MAKE COTTAGE
CHEESE ROLLS

Various loaves or rolls can be made
by, combining cottage cheese with
cold, cooked rice, or with fresh bread
crumbs. They may be seasoned with
horseradish, chives, onion juice, pars-
ley, chopped celery, sage, pimentos,
green peppers, grated dairy cheese,
or other desired seasonings. Chopped
nuts, finely cut celery, or cubcd Gu
cumbers are pleasing additions. Left
overs of boiled ham, fried bacon, cold
meats, salmon, tuna fish, or other
fish, may be used to add variety. If
desired, the loaf may be rolled, just
before serving, in sifted bread crumbs
that have been slightly Drowned in
the oven.
Suggestions for making cottage
cheese will be found in Extension
Circular so of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture at Col
umbia. Copies will be sent free Of
charge.

HOW TO TREAT GAPES IN
CHICKENS

Gapes in chickens is caused by
worms in the windpipe. The chickens
pick up the larva of the parasites in
the damp earth, and the parasites at
tach themselves in the windpipe of
the chicken, where they first cause ir-
ritation and, upon growing, obstruct
the passage of air. Affected chick
ems should be placed in a pen or room
which has been freely sprinkled with
Stacked lime. A few drops of turpen-
tine added to the ration NAV be ben
efcial in controlling the disease. A
feather may be dipped in turpentine
and passed down the chickens wind
pipe in an effort to dislodge the
worms. The worms arc sometimes
removed with twisted horsehair.
Prevention is the best means of
control. Lime the soil where gapes-
infected chickens have run. Confine
the chickens SO that they cannot run
under out-buildings, and in shadp or
damp places. The chicken in which
tie symptoms are very severe should
be killed and burned. Confine unaf-
fected chickens in yard which is
freely sprinkled with liberal amount
of freshly Stacked lime.
If the chicken run is too large to
lime, change the run to ground on
which they have not been accustomed
to roaming. In few years the cape
worms will die out Of the infected soil
if young chickens are kept off it.
