were formerly supplied with coal from
this particular region. In the BASIN

the villages Of Lukovo, Perezi, and
Berovo up to Mercybey In the Ochrida

the surface layers average In thickness
from three-fourths of a foot to 4.35
feet. but this coal has only local
value, as 1t is far from the railroad.

A few months ago young Western
ranchman returned to his home In a
city In southern Illinois and was mar
ried to girl of childhood acquaint-
ance, she maiden from farm. That
was the beginning of the comfortable
little home which had its locus i'm the
cottage shown In the illustration the
plans were sketched by the couple
while they still rented.
The man Of the house had spent ~
years In twO-room shack" on the
Western plains. There he accumu-

learned something about inconveni-

Work of Turkey Hen.
turkey hen that begins laying in
the middle of March will usually finish
laying her first litter early in April,
her second late in April, and her third
litter about the third week in May,
depending upon the number of eggs
she lays and the promptness with
which she is broken up on becoming
brOody. Some turkey hens can be
made to lay four or five filters, but
this is not usually advisable as poults
Matched later than June do not have
a chance to develop for the Thanks
giving and Christmas markets and are
not sufficiently mature the following
spring to be used as breeders.
Turkey hens can easily be broken
Of their broodiness by combining them
for two or three days to coop with
a slat bottom. They will mate soon
after being let out Of the coop and
begin laying in about week. Turkey
hens and chicken hens usually are
used to incubate turkey eggs, although
incubators are quite generally used
where turkeys are raised on large
scale.

COTTAGE CHEESE
AS STAPLE FOOD
Thirty Billion Pounds of Skim
Milk Available for Making
Substitute for Meat.
IMPROVED WAYS OF SERVING
Federal and State Agencies Organized
to Convince American Housewives
Of Great Value-How to Make
Some Of New Dishes.

Almost 100000 900 pounds of skim
milk are available for making cottage
cheese. Skim milk made into cheese
is seven times more valuable as a food
than as a feed for live stock. A pound
of cottage cheese used in the home
releases q pound of meat for shipment
to our soldiers.
These were the actuating principles
behind the organization Of cottage
cheese demonstration corps of the
dairy division, United States depart
ment of agriculture, which recently
undertook a nationwide drive to make
cottage cheese a staple food through
out the land. Forty-seven women
specialists from almost as many states
make up the corps that will carry the
message.
These women have been In training
in Washington for several weeks learn
ing how to make cottage cheese and
how to serve ii in the newest and most
attractive dishes. In the accompany
ing picture they are shown demon
strating their new creations in
cottage cheese luncheon to officials of
the department of agriculture. The
luncheon was held in one Of the rooms
of the dairy division. Among the
guests were Assistant Secretaries Carl
Vr0oman, Raymond A. Pearson and
Clarence Ousley, Dean III. L. Russell
of the food administration. chiefs of
several bureaus and a score of the
departments food and demonstrating
experts. Here Is what the guests ate:

Five women demonstrators started
the campaign In Cleveland, o., few
days later. The others will go to other
big cities, small towns and rural COM

to make cottage cheese, It's food value
and how to use 1t. Regular home
demonstrators and county agents of
the states relation service will help
the cottage cheese force and experts
from the bureau of markets will en-
