PEACHES MAKE FINE BUTTER
Found Quite Useful by Housekeeper
in Spring When Jams and Jellies
Are Running Low.

Springtime often finds the house
keepers supply of jelly and jams in a
depleted condition. When this is the
case, peach butter made from canned
and dried peaches may well come to
the aid.
The following recipe recommended
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture food specialists is de-
licious:
To each four pounds of dried
peaches use two quarts of canned
peaches, Soak the dried peaches in
water several hours and cook until
tender. Add the canned peaches and
rub the pulp through a colander or
wire sieve. Stir PA pounds of sugar
into this pulp and cook slowly. stir
ring often, for two hours, or until OF
the right thickness. Pack while hot
and sterilize like peach butter.

Outline of Old-Fashioned Method OF

Care used in saving and caring for
all fat obtained from cooking meat In
the home will save many a dollar

spent for butter lard or other cooking
fats. Fats derived from the cooking
of bacon. ham, chicken, beef ana

Household specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture say
an old-fashioned method of clarifying
fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats, SO that 1t may be used
In the kitchen, is TO add the cold rat
to liberal quantity of cold water,

hour or more. When cold, the cake OF

many people realize. Also they sup
ply roughage, which is believed to
keep the body In good working order.
In the course of nature, human beings
as well as some animals seem to have
so developed that they need certain
amount of roughage, which is best
supplied by the coarser vegetable
foods. During recent years there has
been a growing tendency to reduce
the roughage in cereals and some 9TH
er foods, and, In order to Offset this,
an extra effort should be made to sup
ply plenty of vegetables and fruits. In
addition, fresh vegetables are among
the best sources of what, for lack of
better name, have been called vita
mines.
Nobody has ever been able to stand
a vitamine up by itself, or group of
them by themselves, so that we could
look at them, but 1t is known that
they are present Just the same, be-
cause of the action that they have up
on the human body.
Eat more vegetables.
Too much cannot be said In favor
of larger proportion of vegetables
In the diet of the American people.
The English are considered a nation
of meat eaters, but 1t has been shown
that Americans eat more meat per
capita than do the English. A GER
tain amount of meat in the diet is
highly desirable, but this should al
ways be balanced by a sufficient sup
ply of vegetables.
One of the reasons that many peo-
pie have to great extent cut vege-
tables from their diet is that they
have been unable to get fresh vege-
tables and do not relish stale ones.
The individual home vegetable garden
planted either In the back yard, or a
convenient piece Of land, not only
solves the problem of supplying the
family with vegetables at low cost
and in abundance. but guarantees
their freshness.

when it came to prunes-why. when
Paul served prunes for dinner he had
to set a gang to work with shovels to
clean up the prune pits.
Paul was a mighty accomplishing
fellow. He often loaned Babe to
camp that was behind in its work.
Babe always got the job over in one
day. The big OK had to, for it al
ways ate up all the fodder in the
camp at its first meal.
Paul, when the trees were extra big,
would tackle them himself. He'd pick
up an armful and carry them over to

them down to the river and dump
them in. He never was afraid of
work.

OF course when q chap is like Paul

is that yarn about the winter on the
Onion river. The snow was awful
deep that season. And after Paul had
finished cutting and the spring came
along he found that he'd have to go
over the ground again. The snow
was so deep that his sawyers had
been cutting 80 feet above the ground.
Paul and his men were no such

Then there's the story that blames
Paul for catching off the real big cat

The worst of 1t was that when he did

always ran along the bank till he

The old adage, IAN apple a day
keeps the doctor away" might quite
as well have read "a carrot or an
onion a day." and probably the result
would be about the same as regards
reducing the doctors bill. Vegetables
of all kinds are necessary in the diet,
but particularly valuable are those
available in the spring and summer,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Value Of Vegetables in Diet.
Without going into definite figures
1t may be stated that the food value
Of vegetables. such as beans, peas, po-
tatoes. sweet corn, beats and carrots,
Is very high. When considered from
the standpoint of the food value of
the crop that may be produced on a
given area of land, beans, beets and
carrots are ahead Of almost any 9th
er garden crop. One-tenth acre plant
ed entirely to carrots will yield about
a ton, and in energy this would be
equal to about $40 pounds OF average
beef. One-tenth acre of beets would
also yield about ton and be equal to
$50 pounds of average beef. One-tenth
acre of lima beans would yield about
120 pounds of dry beans, equal to
about 800 pounds of beef.
AS sources of mineral matter and
proteins needed by the body, vege-
tables are much more valuable than
