Points in Cooking Cereals.

There are several practical points
to remember in cooking cereals. One
is that there IS more danger of not
cooking them enough than of cooking
them too much. UncoOked cereal
preparations, like cracked wheat and
coarse samp, need several hours cook
ing, and are often improved by being
left on the back of the stove or in
the fireleSs cooker overnight. Cereals
partially cooked at the factory, such
as the rolled or fine granular prepare.
lions, should be cooked fully as long
as the directions on the package sug.
gest.
FlavOring is also an important part
of cooking cereals. The flavor most
commonly added is salt. Such added
flavor is perhaps less necessary in
some of the ready-tO-eat kinds which
have been Drowned at the factory and
have thus gained the pleasant flavor
which also appears in the crust OF
bread and cake or in toast, but in the
plain boiled cereals or mushes the
careful use of salt in cooking them
may make all the difference between
an appetizing and an unpalatable dish.
A good general rule is one level tea.

used in cooking the cereal

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells ITSELF as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim 1t fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur.
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcel Post Address

Cooling the Carcass.
The carcass should be cooled after
Strengthening, but not allowed to freeze.
Temperature cannot be controlled on
the farm, but 1t is possible to kill when
the weather is favorable. Select day
in winter when there is chance for
cooling the carcass before the surface
freezes. The desirable temperature
for cooling meat is "a to 40 degrees

necessary to have refrigeration. In the
fall it is best to kill in the evening.

1t is illegal in Saskatchewan, this
year to destroy straw stacks in ac-
cordance with a general farm custom
in the Canadian as well as in the
United States West. In the past, farm
crs, after setting aside sufficient straw
for their own use, burned the appar-
entity useless remainder. The war is
dispelling the belief, in country as well
as in town, that there are such things
as useless remainders. Straw has be-
come a necessary raw material, and
the order prohibiting its destruction
may be followed by another forbiddlng
the wholesale burning Of autumn
leaves, instead of using them for fer
