Food Which Will Provide the
Most Protein at Smallest Cost

Condensed milk contains about 1
ounce of protein per 12-ounce can.
Whole-milk cheese contains about 4
ounces of protein per pound.
Cottage cheese contains about 3
ounces of protein per pound.
Dried legumes:
Beans contain 8 ounces of protein
per pound.
Cowpeas contain ounces of protein
per pound.
Peas contain 4 ounces of protein per
pound.
Peanuts contain ounces of protein
per pound.
Nuts:
Almonds contain nearly ounces of
protein per pound.
Walnuts contain little over 1 ounce
of protein per pound.
Cereal foods:
Wheat flour contains ounces of
protein per pound.
Cornmeal contains IA ounces of pro
TEN per pound.
OdlUledI COIldIlS - 20 OuuCSS VI
protein per pound.
Bread contains ~ ounces of protein
per pound.
In considering the amount of pro-
TEN supplied by certain foods, one
must make a distinction between the
cooked and the uncOOked state. Dried
legumes and cereals, for example,
usually take up considerable water
! during cooking, and thus become more
bulky and dilute. A pound of baked
beans supplies the body with about
one-third as much protein as a pound
of raw beans. Oatmeal takes up so
much water in cooking that a pound
of boiled oatmeal has only about one
| eighth the food value of a pound of
raw. A pound of raw beans or oatmeal
would have practically the same total
food value after cooking as before, but
their weight would be greater. In the
same way, cupful of raw beans or
oatmeal would make several cupfuls
when cooked.
When eggs are beaten, as in making
OlHelclS anu ueTIuSueS, dlr is IOrCSu
into them and they become more
bulky. In this way a given number of
eggs can often be made to serve more
persons than if they are prepared with
out beating; but each person gets less
eggs. If meat is made into stew, it
goes further, because the water adds
to the bulk of the dish; but the finished
dish has much lower protein and fuel
value than the original meat. When
meat is cooked without water, as in
roasting, broiling or frying, there is not
much change in its composition.
A housekeeper in choosing foods at
market rightly compares them in their
raw state; but when she is considering
| them as they are actually served at
meals, she must remember these differ
ences in cooking. They should also
be considered in choosing dishes al
restaurants. Changes in cooking
| cereals are discussed in another buIle-
! tin of this series.

Odd Department Store of
a Rip Van Wrinkle Type Is
Auctioned at Dobbs Ferry

The oldest mercantile establishment
in America ceased to exist, the other
day, when an auctioneer sold out the
curious and time-wOrn stock of "The
MOser Dry Goods Emporium" in Main
street, DObbS Ferry, just II miles from
Herald Square, writes New York cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. 1t was a Rip Van Wrinkle shop.
Most of the articles in its stock were
of the fashions of by-gOne day-a half
century or more old. More than eighty
years ago John MOser opened the "em-
pOrium." At first it was merely tail
or's shop, but as the proprietor pros
pered he added departments for "dry
goods and notions" Forty years ago
he died, rich, and left his business to
his two maiden daughters. There was
no need that it should bring in a profit.
The income of the two Misses MOSer
from other investments was far great
er than their necessities. They lived
in rooms behind the shop and kept
surly old dog tied to the front door SO
that his grOwls might summon one of
them when customer entered. They
made no additions to the stock of
goods which the shop contained and
they looked with suspicion upon all
new customers. The truth is well eS-
tabIished of a story that they refused
/ to have any commercial transaction
with a little girl who wanted to buy
some cotton stockings because she was
not a regular attendant at Sunday
school.
Some months ago, when neighbOrs
noticed that neither of the sisters had
been in the shop for several days, an
investigation was made and both were
found in their rooms critically i'll with
pneumonia. One sister died and the
other, now ninety-three years old, was
! taken into the charge of relatives.

Window Boxes, Which May
Be Started at Small Cost,
Make Home More Cheerful

Window boxes made up of Towering
plants, give an added touch of bright
ness and pleasure to the home life and
may be started at a small outlay, &C
cOrding to NJ. F. Ahearn, professor of
landscape gardening in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Both indoor and outdoor boxes may
be used to good advantage" said Pro-
feSsOr Ahearn, "and the most salts
factory outdoor window box may be
had by using evergreens such as red
cedar, arbOr vitae, and white and blue
spruce.
''These plants should be from 6 to
IS inches in height and may be ar
ranged effectively by keeping the
taller ones in the center and back, and
the smaller ones in the foreground.
Such a box, after being well started,
will require little attention and need
not be protected from wintry weather.
For The indoor window boxes, BOS-
ton fern, German ivy, yariegated peri
Wrinkle, red geraniumS, naSturtiums,
snapdragOn, and vinca alba may be
used with good effect. All the flowers
should be removed from the plants as
soon as they begin to fade. In order
to obtain the best results the box
plants should be given an application
of fertilizer once or twice a month.
An east or south exposure will be
found best for most window plants"

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
Cockerels for Breeders.

The speciality of an Eastern back
yard pOultrykeeper is cOckerels for
breeding, which he sells for $3.50 each
and up. His flock is small, seldom
numbering more than IS hens, and
his houses represent a small invest
ment. BY occupation a brickyard
owner and manager, he started keep
ing Rhode Island Reds several years
ago, utilizing some idle land back of
his residence. He had good success
in egg production, and being inter-
eSted in the fancy side, also, bought
stock from winners at the shows.
In breeding each spring, he uses
eggs from selected hens mated with
good show cockerels. Beginning in
late winter, all the available broody
hens are given eggs. Sometimes as
many as % are sitting at once.
All the eggs he cannot handle with
hens himself, he "lets out" as far as
possible, to farmer friends. They pay
him no cash for these, but the under
standing is that in the fall he shall
visit the farm and take his pick of the
hatch, one cockerel or pullet for every
egg setting furnished.
He sells as many as 100 cockerels in
season. Most of them are sold
through newspaper and farm period
ical advertising. He ships on a salts.
faction guaranteed or money back
basis. The shipping cases are boxes
? feet by 2 feet by 1 foot, and are
bought at a store for Is cents apiece.
One of these cases, which are light but
strong, will carry two cockerels.
Big, good-looking cockerels are the
kind sent away. This man has a good
laying strain, but he does not claim
the cockerels have extraordinary rec
ords back Of them. Cockerels which
do not come up to his standard he sells
as roasters.

F'rom the United States Department of
Agricultural
Because protein is so important to
the health of the body, it is not con-
sidered desirable in diets consisting of
the ordinary combinations of food ma
terials to cut down the quantity in the
daily food below 31a ounces per adult
man and prOportiOnate amounts for
women and children.
How then can the housekeeper re-
duce the cost of food and still provide
enough of this necessary but expensive
material? The best way is to learn
how much protein is provided by diff
ferent kinds of food and then choose
the kinds which will furnish what the
family needs for the lowest cost and
with the least waste. This task will be
easier if the housewife will group in
her mind the foods which are rich in
protein and then consider ways of sub
Stituting less expensive for more ex-
pensive ones.
The lists given below include some
of the more common foods in which
protein is abundant and show in a gen.
eraI way the amounts and proportion
of protein in the different kinds as
they are purchased; that is, including
refuse, such as bones and gristle, egg
shells, etc.
Approximate amounts of protein in
common food materials:
Fresh meats:
Beef contains from 2 to 8 ounces of
protein per pound.
Veal contains from . to 3 ounces of
protein per pound.
Mutton contains from . to 2A
ounces of protein per pound.
Lamb contains about "a ounces of
protein per pound.
Pork contains about ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
POultry-chicken, duck, goose, tur-
key. ETC., contain from to pa ounces
of protein per pound.
Game-squirrel, rabbit, wild birds,
etc, contain from 2 to "a ounces of
protein per pound.
Prepared meats:
COrned beef contains "a ounces of
protein per pound.
Dried beef contains t ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
Polk sausage contains ounces of
protein per pound.
Canned chicken contains 4 ounces of
protein per pound.
Fresh fisf-cOd, paddock, halibut,
mackerel, perch, salmon, shad, etc,
contain from IL to 21a ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
Dried fish contains from 21A to
ounces of protein per pound.
Eggs contain ounces of protein per
pound.
Dairy products:
Whole milk contains about 1 ounce
of protein per quart.
Skim milk contains about l ounce
of protein per quart.
Buttermilk contains about 1 ounce of
protein per quart.

Terrapin Now Successfully
Bred at Biological Station

At the United States biological sta
ton, Beaufort. n. c., they are breeding
now 1,60O terrapins in the pounds, be-
diamOnd-back terrapin. There are
now 1000 terrapins in the pounds, be-
sides the young of 1916. The expert
ments prove that this most delicious
of all the turtle tribe can be grown
and kept in vigorous condition in cap
tivity.
In a report to Science Samuel IL.
HiIdebrand, the director, says: at
has been known for some time
that a female terrapin may lay
twice in a single season, but during
the past season through the discovery
of u nests, averaging eight eggs
to a nest, in pen where only four
females are confined, it is evident that
a female may lay as often as three
times in a single season."
