| circulars, and then again. "You must
'make-do' with what you have.
The food question has now become so
acute that as nation, we have to con
slider how to obtain the last ounce of
nourishment from foods of every kind,

suggestions for soup making.
Soup Stock Made from the Feelings
and Trimmings of Vegetables Wash
well all vegetables before peeling, being
careful to leave no dirt--you will need to
use a brush to get rid of it all. Use the
clean peel and trimmings of any vege-
tables, such as carrots, turnips, parsnips,
onions, leeks, celery tops, carrot tops,
parsley stalks, the skins of cucumbers,
pea pods, the peel of potatoes and apples
and the outside leaves of green vege-
tables, which contain valuable mineral
salts excellent for health. Put all into
a saucepan with cold water. Bring to
the boil and simmer one and one half to
two hours. Strain this vegetable mix
ture through muslin and you will have
a clear golden brown stock ready to
make into delicious health giving, nour-
ishing soup. Bear in mind that vege-
table stock will not keep long. Some
people do not like the idea of this stock

FOOD NEWS NOTES.
Wheat.

Wheat.
Very urgent that everyone who
can possibly do so, 90 without
wheat entirely until the next har-
vest. Use substitutes available in
your locality.
Meat.
Strict conservation of meat is
urged once more. Eat beans,
cheese, fish. milk. nuts instead.
Make little meat go long way.
Dairy Products.
Consumption of all dairy prod
ucts is to be encouraged Use all
YOU need. Don't let any go to
waste. See that the children get
plenty Of whole milk. Milk is
good for adults too. Ii can take
the place of meat. Those who can
afford it may well use butter and
cream.
Potatoes.
Particularly urged that every
body eat the old potatoes until
they are all gone. Two reasons
for this. First. they will spoil
unless they are eaten at once. Sec
ond. they will save the wheat. Eat
them three times a day instead Of
bread.
Cottage Cheese.
Il is strongly urged that all
skim milk be made into cottage
cheese in the home. and used in
stead of meat. Try the new cot
tsge cheese recipes.

USE OF WOMEN ON FARMS.

As to the use of women on the
farms, the department recognizes
that they can be of great value in
certain minor tasks, but the de-
partment believes that if men of
farm experience in the towns and
cities can be released by the sub
stitution of woman labor tempo
rarily needs of farmers will be
supplied and there will be little
demand for woman labor on the
farm except for the lighter tasks.

tary of agriculture.

To the Women of America.

An authoritative statement from Off
cial Washington again impresses upon
the women of America the fact that
they have never been called upon before
to bear so great burden as the coming
months will impose upon their courage
and their constancy."
1t is interesting TO note that though
women's part in all the war activities is
emphasized, first place is given to the
matter of food production and food con-
servation and women's share in it. The
message reads in part: THE women of
America must see to it that the nations
producing power is not enfeebled by the
draft made upon it to strengthen the
fighting power
They must produce food by working
gardens, by raising chickens, by doing
farm service where they can or by help
ing and encouraging those who do it.
They must aid in the kitchen, conserving
food by wise economies, canning, drying,
preserving, picking and preparing food
in accordance with the food admnistra-
tons program. They must purchase
where they see the food administration
emblem, watch their local dealers, buy
local produce in preference to shipped
goods and resist the temptation to hoard.
America is to-day rationing the world
Without our food supplies the allies
could not fight for us. They are suffer
ing privations. The food that we save
for them is not saving of money. 1t is
a saving of life. 1t is worth more than
its weight in gold"

To Build Up a Beef Herd.

In the March Farm and Fireside, a
writer says:
IF you have herd of good breeding
cows you viii have a good dividend pay
err in the future TO assemble good
herd Of breeding cows is by no means a
small task. There are two very impor.
tant things to consider-type and uni
formity of type-when building up a
herd of breeding cows.
IF you can get your herd recognized
as producing cattle of a certain desir-
able type and then turn out only that
type, you will be able to secure better
prices on the average than if you have
few of many kinds to offer.
1T is by no means necessary that
your cattle be the best in the world to
make you famous. You will do well if
you succeed in creating a reputation for
always having in your herd thick fleshcd
cattle with size, substance, and quality.
THE best practice in building up a
herd is to purchase a few cows or heifers
from an established breeder of good
reputation whose herd has been noted
for years as having produced animals of
the best type and quality. 1t is much
better to invest money in a few first
class COWS than in double the number of
inferior ones at about the same cost"

the Japanese propose to lend more mon

tons similar to those proposed by the
Danish firm.
1t is said that the Danish firm, in or

British concern, Is willing to surrender
its contract to the Japanese. Protests
were made both by Sir John Jordan, the

TAXES ON INSTRUMENTS?
Bill to Permit Business Men to Pay
Without Undue Strain.

Washington, April g. A bill to permit
business men to pay their income and
excess profits taxes in two instslments,
one half on or before June ID, and the
other half ON or before Oct. 10, was in
troduccd in The House yesterday by Con
gresham Medill Mccormick Of Illinois.
1T is estimated he said, that the in
come and excess profits taxes will bring
from $4,000, 900 900 to S4,000000 900. Tn
der the present law these must be paid
before July | next. In order To tacill-
tate their payment, the treasury issued
short time tax certificates, OF which APP
proximately Sl,3I0,0O0,000 have been
taken up. If the lowest estimate OF the
total of the income and excess profits
taxes is correct. the business men of the
country will have to pay, under present
approximately ,2O0,000,Oo0
into the treasury before now and
July /.
In the same period they will be called
upon to subscribe another $4,000 100000
