MAKING AN EGG GO A LONG WAY


In these days when eggs are five
cents apiece, and in some sections
hard TO obtain even at that price,
II is necessary for the housekecper
TO consider carefully how 10 make
every egg go as far as possible. We
must remember however, that eggs
have very important place in the
diet and The substitutes used sell
dom can take the place OF the egg
as far as the food value is con-
cerned. When practicing economy
in the use OF eggs by selecting rec
ipes which do not call for eggs or
those in which fewer eggs are
used, IL will be necessary 10 use
milk, meat and cheese more freely
in the diet, as these are the food
which are similar TO eggs In nutri-
tive value.
II eggs are 10 be served at q meal
fewer will be needed IL eggs are
combined with other food as

boiled eggs, or scalloped potatoes

Dreamed Potatoes
Reheat 2 cups OF cold boiled po-
tatoes, cut in small cubes In one

Few grains OF pepper.
Melt the butter, add flour, smooth

little melted butter.
Scalloped Potatoes
Cut cold boiled potatoes in slices,
butter a baking dish and cover the
bottom with layer OF potatoes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and

One OF the most interesting things
Of the fair was the club pig exhibit
by Defreda Morris. The entire
crowd OF people gathered around
the pen, while Defreda and the
County Agent explained why the pig
was so much bigger than its mates,
owned by the father Of the girl.
Mr.. Morris, the father, acknowledged
that the girl had beaten him in the
production Of pork.
The Red Cross had a bazaar con-
Quoted by school and club girls.
Many things were sold.
There were eight milk tests made
for butter fat by County Agent and
Mr.. Chestnut. This brought about
many questions as TO the breed,
feed, and milk production. The day
closed with success, and everybody
feeling good that they had taken
part in this community fair. There
will be another fair next year Of the
same kind. Big Hill and Narrow
Gap are beginning to get ready now.

FARMERS sTERE0PTIcoN
LECTURES

Mr.. Cregor, soil and crop special
list and County Agent Spence con-
Quoted a series OF stereopticon lee
lures last week in Rockcastle and
Madison Counties. Special emphasis
was given 10 lime and acid phos-
phate. The lectures in Rockcastle
county were given at New Scaffolj
Cane school and Conway. The at
tendance was good. Lectures OF
Madison County were given at Big
Hill and Speedwell schools. As a
result four cars Of ground limestone
and the purchase Of one pulverizer
since these lectures. The County
Agent highly recommends and in
sists that the farmer in his terri
tory use more lime and phospho-
rous. In addition TO this, parctice
crop rotation and better cultivation.

Much has been written, talked and
published on Hog Cholera. This
doesn't amount 10 anything unless
the hog raisers practice IL or some
thing similar 10 eradicate hog
cholera. A few hogs are dying over
the country which seem TO be
pulling TO some people. There are
two kinds of hog cholera. the chronic
and the acute. The chronic chol-
era fingers for weeks, death follow
ing. Acute cholera kills az once.
Farmers should watch their hogs
closely at the present time, since
the cholera has been in this section.
Well hogs should be separated from
the sick hogs at once. and a vet
Urinary called TO make an investi-
cation or some other competent per-
son. II don't think IL is cholera" is
a common expression heard over
the community. Whatever II is
kills and should be investigated.
For further information on hog
cholera see your County Agent or
call your vetinarian.

BUSHEL MEASURE
MOST PRACTICAL
People Of Forty Different States
Favor II as Being Most
Definite Unit.
SACKS ARE TOO Indefinite
Weights Per 6usheI as Used by United
States Department Of Agriculture
in All Estimates Of Crop
Production.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many growers. particularly In the
territory where field seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack, ask
why the United States department OF
agriculture estimates crop production
by bushel measure instead of by sack
or hundredweight. The reason is that
90OOO.OOO people in 40 states of the
Union think. talk and measure by
bushels. the bushel being the standard
unit Of measure throughout this area.
The bushel measure is definite, and
congress and the states have stabilized
II and specified the number of pounds
OF different commodities legally con-
shutting bushel. The census figures
Of crop production have all been re-
duced to bushels for all commodities
for which legal weights have been
used and doubtless will be used until
a different unit Of measure has been
adopted.
Sacks Not Standard.
A sack-the unit of measure in some
sections-is not definite and cannot be
made so. except by legal enactment,
standardizing the volume and then, In
turn. standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
and talked about In boxes. dried fruits
In pounds or tons. and 1t Is doubtful II
custom will permit OF material
change. In handling green fruits in
large quantities the ton Is the most
practical unit Of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box is In gen.
eral use. AS the lug box varies In size
from 30 to 40 and so to 90 pounds.
there Is more or less confusion unless
market quotations are made on the
basis Of lug boxes Of specific sizes.
The central or hundredweight ap-
pears 10 be the most practical unit Of
measure and is coming into general
use In the purchase and sale of grains
and vegetables. II the bulk handling
of grain becomes general. as now
seems likely. the sack will disappear,
ana the central or Dushel VIII take Its
place.
6ushel Weights Used.
The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture In all estimates Of
crop production:
Apples, AZ pounds; beans (drled), 90
pounds; clover seed, 60 pounds; corn
(shelled), SO pounds; corn on cob, 20
pounds; oats. 81 pounds: peaches, As
pounds; pears, AZ pounds: rye SO
tomatoes, SO pounds; grain
sorghum, 90 pounds; onions. 81
