Cooling Foods for Hot DAYS.

During the hot weather succulent
vegetables, frozen desserts and cooling
beverages appeal to the appetite rath-
er than the heavier, heartier foods.
Small green onions, cooked tops and
all and served on buttered toast with
q white as one does asparagus,
makes a dainty and pretty dish.
When making salad of any kind of
vegetable a cupfuf more or less of cot
tage cheese will add to the quantity as
well as p~alatabilty.
Cucumbers are one Of the most re-
freshing of vegetables when served
crisp and cold. The method used by
many cooks of soaking them in salt
water is most undesirable as the wilt
ed product Is tough and unpalatable.
If they must be soaked, let it be in
cold unsalted water.
Slices of cucumbers covered with a
bit Of dressing as filling for sand
wiches made and served while they
are still cold and crisp, are most agree
able.

ORANGE COUNTY
FARM BUREAU
Notes for Week Ending March IS.

Some important features of boys and
girls club work were brought out in a
conference at Burlington last fall by
Professor Banson of the Washington of
flee, who has charge of the work. They
should be considered by all thinking per-
sons of the county in connection with
the present campaign to interest people
in this line of farm bureau work.
|. We must give the boys and girls an
opportunity to do a manly and womanly
job. Child play alone does not fit them
for their future.
2. Every child needs to know when
they achieve. To encourage them in
their work accomplishes more than dis
couraging remarks concerning their fail
ures.
3. Club work requires a permanent
plan and program. System and regular
ity taught young people in club work
will prove a lasting lesson of great val
ne
4. Club work aids teamwork and CO.
operation, lessons the future farmer
needs even more than the present gem
Grafton.
S. Club work makes hard work inter
esting by means of games and contests.
Too much of the farm work that they
do at present means drudgery and de-
stroys their love for country life.
6. Club work is not school work and
should be made voluntary. No child
likes to be forced to job.
7. Farm bureaus and local organiza-
tions who do not take in the boys and
girls will die in the future for lack Of
new material or spend a great part of
their energy arousing interest in the new
generation at time when they should
be workers and members as a natural
part of their growth.
The campaign last week touched many
of the points on the east side of the
county and the results were very encour-
aging. Several communities are ready
to take up this work with the help of
the farm bureau and state extension
service. This coming week the campaign
win reach the central and west side of
the county.

BRITISH COMMERCE
TAKES BACK POSITION
Because the United States, For Instance,
Has Become Familiar with Needs and
the Fancies of the People in
South America.

London, March is Correspondence of
the Associated Press Jorge A. Mitre,
/ editor of La Nacion. of Buenos Aires,
gave Great Britain some advice concern
ing the extension of its trade in South
America while speaking at dinner of
| journalists and public men the other day.
ut may be a matter of some concern
to you," said Mr.. Mitre, that Great

ways and waterways in Argentina, has
an inferior position to other countries in
the market. Take, for instance, the case
of agricultural machinery. In that line
the United States is ahead of you be-
cause the American has made himself

Salmon for Lenten Dishes.

Owing to its high food value and com
paratively low cost, salmon has come to
hold a place of great economic impor'
tance as an article of diet. 1t is rich in
protein and fat and some kinds have a
delicate, delicious flavor Dame Nature
has the art of transforming these food
elements into the blood, bone and tissue
of the human body. The favor is an
important factor, as it assists in the di-
gestion and proper assimilation of the
food.
The average housewife is quite help
less as regards the kind Of salmon she
buys She doesn't realize that a dry,
tasteless product falls to the lower end
of the nutritiye column. Her best au-
thority is a recognized, national name
on the container. The reliable producer
employs experts to select and prepare
the best fish for market.
The bureau of fisheries of the United
States government has recently classified
the five varieties of salmon found OF our
Pacific coast. According to epicures the
sockeye is the best eating of all salmon.
This fish has a bright golden red color, is
firm in texture, yields a rich, red oil, and
has delicious flavor.
An interesting fact about the sockeye
is the four year DeEiodicitY Of the catch,
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-03-18

according to the food director of Armour
& Co. Many are caught each year but
the great run occurs the year following
leap year When there is a great run
the fish are caught at the rate of $4,000
in a morning.
The canneries are on the waters edge
and fish are taken there every few hours
as they are caught. This insures perfect
freshness of product,
The fish are taken from the catching
scows to butchering rooms. After going
through the great machines that cut of
their heads, tails, fins and remove en-
trails at the rate of so fish per minute,
they are ready for the washing process.
The fish are scrubbed in great tanks
of running water, cut in cross sectional
pieces according to size of can to be used
and dropped into bins. They are then
measured out into freshly washed recep-
tacles and taken to the filling benches.
The filling is done by neatly clad
young women who wear white cotton
gloves. After a can is flied piece Of
salmon fat is added to impart a rich oil
mess.
The salmon is sealed in sanitary cans.
The cans of salmon are stacked on trays
and submerged in hot water to test for
leaks. A leak is indicated by bubbles in
the water and a leaky can must be re
moved.
Racks of canned salmon are wheeled
into a steam chamber and cooked for 30
minutes The cans are finally piled on
trays and put into iron retorts, where
they are cooked at 240 degrees Fahren-
heit at a pressure of II pounds to the
