Provide Vegetable Supply for Win 1 ter by Drying Now

Provide Vegetable Supply for Win ter by Drying Now
 May be used in cooking in much the same way as the fresh varieties make good dried mixtures for soups-how to do it.
 Various dried or evaporated vege- tables may be used in cookery in most of the ways in which fresh materials are employed. They may find their widest usefulness, how ever, in soup mixtures or in the preparation of the popular old-fash- toned vegetable boiled dinner. Dry ing permits the serving of any fa- vorite vegetable combination at any and all seasons of the year. The various vegetables after drying may be mixed in definite proportions prior to storage, or they may be stored separately and mixed when used.
 For those who wish to make a veg etable mixture that will have the maximum food value and at the same time be as nearly as possible a complete or balanced ration, the formulas used in making evaporated soup mixtures for the British armies may serve as guides. One of these mixtures contains 20 per cent each of potatoes, turnips, and peas, IF per cent each of carrots and beans, and 6 per cent of onions. In au- other, the combination is 37 per cent of potatoes, 19 per cent each of carrots and turnips, 10 per cent each of onions and cabbage, and 2h per cent each of beans and peas.
 Differ from Prepared Product
 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 mixture must subsequently, be soaked and cooked as a unit, and only vege- tables that absorb water and cook at approximately equal rates can be successfully combined in a dry con- dition. Such materials as the root vegetables, cabbage, celery, toma- toes, and onions behave alike both in their absorption of water and in cooking, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Any desired combina- tion can be made from them.
 Dried corn and mature peas and beans absorb water very much more slowly and must be cooked from two to three times as long as materials in the list just given. For this req son 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 add

ed and the whole cooked until done.
 How to Dry Vegetables
 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 trays should be withdrawn and the contents carefully stirred so the pro- duct will dry evenly.
 When thoroughly dry the pro- duct should be removed from the drier and placed in a 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 pasteboaord boxes, or parafined bags. Cover tightly to exclude insects and store in a room which is warm and dry.

How to Clean Nickel

Nickel and nickel-plated articles do not tarnish so readily as silver Washing them frequently with hot soapy water and drying them with soft cloth or paper will usually keer them in good condition. Whiting, or some other fine scourer, may sometimes be used to brighten nickel that has become dull, but such 8 condition often means that the sur. face is scratched or the plating brok. en. Regulating is the only remedy iu such cases.

Alsike clover should, however, do we'll sown early in August in the States along the Atlantic seaboard that is, New Jersey and Delaware. Alsike should be planted early in August for spring blowing under.
 The cost of alsike seed, it is said, is relatively lower than that of red clover, because the seed is small and less needs to be sown per acre. While the seed cost is higher than that for crimson clover, it may prove more reliably winter hardy, and so have an advantage over the crimson clo- yer, which so often winter-kills.

What Make. 100 Pounds of Milk?

What Makes 100 Pounds of MILK!
 A two-year study of the cost of milk production undertaken cooper atively by the United States Dairy Division and Purdue University, on a number of dairy farms in north western Indiana, has resulted in figures on the requirements for pro ducing 100 pounds of milk in winter and in summer. To give permanent valae to the results, these require ments were determined in pounds of feed, hours of labor, etc, and by substituting present costs and values for the various items a farmer can determine very closely what it is costing him to produce 100 pounds of milk at the present time.
 In the summer months the re- quirements for 100 pounds of milk were as follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds; dry roughage, 24.7 pounds silage and other succulent roughage, 6O.1 pounds; hauling and grinding concentrates, $0.014; pasture, GOA acre; human labor, 2.2 hours; horse labor, 0.2 hour; overhead and other costs, $0.393.
 In the winter months the require ments for production were: Cencen- trates, 38.6 pounds; dry roughage, 66.8 pounds; silage and other suc- culent roughage, 147.6 pounds; ; hauling and grinding concentrates, S0.03; bedding, 20.3 pounds; human labor, 2.5 hours: horse labor. O.3 hour; overhead and other costs, $0.38.
 It has been generally believed that the cost of producing milk was considerably higher in winter than in summer; and while this holds true as far as the gross cost is concerned, the figures obtained in this investi- gation show that the net cost of producing 100 pounds of milk from November to April was only 1.8 per cent higher than the cost from May to October, inclusive, and that the total cost varied only slightly from month to month within each of these seasons. This small difference be- tween net costs of production dur ing winter and summer is largely due to the greater credit allowed for manure during the winter season.
 The price received for the milk, however, fuctuated sharply from month to month.
