consideration and gentleness means
the saving of dollars. Very few men
are mean enough to be mean when
they know it hurtStheir pocketbooks.
Anyone who gets the notion that it
pays to give the best possible atten-
ton to the animals he has, even
il poor, will not need much argu-
ment to convince him that better

the United States there are men VINO

SWEDEN POSSIBLE MARKET
FOR AMERICAN.GROWN RICE

There is no reason why rice grow
ers of the United States can not make
sales on the Swedish market, reports
the American consul at Malmo
Sweden, who says that all factors for
SO doing are favorable.
When the armistice was signed
large shipments Of rice were sent to
Sweden and the market became over
burdened. At present, howevcre, the
situation is more favorable and
wholesalers are considering the
placing of new orders. These are
generally placed direct rather than
through roundabout agencies, be-
cause the Swedish Government en-
courages direct importations.
Rice is now being sold at retail
in Malmo at "a and 81 cents a pound
avoirdupois, while the same product
is bought wholesale at prices rang
ing from 18 to % cents. These quo
tations refer to the common grades.
Unhullcd rice is allowed entry into
Sweden free Of duty. Grits, how
ever. must pay duty of 24.3 cents
per 100 pounds. Flour is taxed at
the rate of 70 cents per hundred
weight.

PROVIDE VEGETABLE
SUPPLY BY DRYING NOW
May BE Used in Cooking in Much the
Same Way as the Fresh
Varieties.

Various dried or evaporated vege-
tables may be used in cookery in
most of the ways in which fresh
materials are employed. They find
their widest usefulness, however, in
soup mixtures or in the preparation
Of the popular old-fashioned vege-
table boiled dinner. Drying permits
the serving of any favorite vegetable
combination at any and all seasons
of the year. The various vegetab lts
after drying may be mixed in def
mite proportions prior to storage, or
they may be stored separately and
mixed when used.
For those who wish to make a
vegetable mixture that will have the
maximum food value and at the same
time be as nearly as possible a COM
plete or balanced ration, the form
ulas used in making evapOrated soup
mixtures for the British armies may
serve as guides. One of these mix
lures contains 20 per cent each Of
potatoes, turnips, and peas, II per
cent each of carrots and beans, and
6 per cent of onions. In another,
the combination is 81 per cent Of
potatoes, 10 per cent each of carrots
and turnips, 10 per cent each of
onions and cabbage, and 2h per cent
each of beana and peas.
The dried vegetable soup mixtures
on sale differ principally from these
formulas in having in most instances
a larger percentage of potato, in the
absence of beans and peas, and in
having various minor additions, such
as beets, celery, radishes. and toma-
toes.
In making up combinations of
dried vegetables, the housekeeper
should remember that the mixtures
must subsequently be soaked and
cooked as unit, and only vegetables
that absorb water and cook at ap-
proximately equal rates can be sue.
cessfully combined in dry condition.
Such materials as the root vegetables,
cabbage, celery, tomatoes, and onions
behave alike both in their absorption
Of water and in cooking, according to
specialists of the United States De.
partment Of Agriculture. any desired
combination can be made from them.
Dried corn and mature peas and
beans absorb water very much more
slowly and as long as materials in
the list Just given. For this reason
they can not be mixed with other
vegetables before soaking. Instead,
they should be separated, soaked.
and partly cooked. Then the other
vegetables desired in the mixture.
after previous soaking. may be added
and the whole cooked until done.
Practically all vegetables after
being sliced or otherwise made ready
for the drier, should be blanched
from one to three minutes in boiling
water or steam before drying. They
should then be drained, and spread
in very thin layer on the shelves
Of the drier. From time to time the
contents carefully stirred 80 the prod
uct will dry evenly.
=, When thoroughly dry the product
should be removed from the drier and
placed in q dark airy room free from
insects. Stir occasionally during the
several days It is left there to cure.
Then heat carefully again for few
minutes and store in tin cans. heavy
pasteboard boxes, or paraffined bags.
Cover tightly to exclude insects and
store in a room which is warm and
dry.

COOPERATION ENTAILS LOYALTY

COOPERATION ENTAILS LOYALTY
A cooperative enterprise is directly
dependent for its success upon the
loyalty of the members and their
interest in the organization. Lack
of loyalty and interest on the part Of
the members has resulted in the
of many cooperative associa-
lions. Organisations founded upon
a real desire Of the members are less
likely to suffer from lack of allegi-
ance than those which have for their
basis misconceptions and prejudice.
