ABOUT VEGETABLES

Be sure you get a hard, heavy
head Of cabbage with crisp,
white leaves and with the stalk
cut close to the head.
Choose beets with dirty roots
and fresh green leaves. This
shows they have not been
soaked to freshen them.
Winter squash should have no
soft spots. Choose a medium
sized one; the larger ones are
seedy.
Caulifower should be firm and
white with fresh green leaves
Be sure that onions are hard
and firm.
Buy the small carrots.
Choose spinach with leaves
fresh and dirty. If clean, they
have wilted and been soaked to
revive them.

Double Instead Of Split Biscuits.
Individual shortcakes are attractive
in appearance and easy to serve. The
dough may be cut out with a very
large biscuit cutter or made into
squares. Instead of splitting one large
cooked biscuit, two thinner rounds OF
dough may be baked together, If the
lower one is first buttered to enable
the cook to slip them apart.
The strawberries, after washing and
hulllng, may be cut in halves and
sprinkled with sugar shortly before
the biscuit dough is made. A few
perfect whole berries should be saved
to decorate the top layer. The others
should be merely cut, not crushed MOI

This Can be Done
Effectively.

As the hen has increased her pro-

tensively tested 10 find their suita-
bility 10 the hens requirements in
egg making and body maintenance.
Heretofore the only available data
on nutrltive values Of the several
feeding materials entering into the
hens dietary has been taken from
that compiled in COW feeding for milk.
Since the cows digestive organs
and her mastication function differ
with that OF the hen IL is not natural
that results will be proportionate In
both cases.
In the last FIVE years nutritive val

have assumed a very different atti-
tude from those ascribed TO milk re
suits in COW feeding and this attitude
is the result OF digestion experiments
made with the various cereals lin

used in milk and esq production.
Summed UP, cereals in the making
OF eggs. have a different value than
when used to produce milk, due 10
the difference in the functions Of the
cows and hens digestive tracts.
As an illustration, the digestible
nutriments in 100 pounds Of cornmeal.

tein and 6l.2 carbohydrates-in the
case OF the hen there are e.s3 pounds

pounds OF crude protein. 1.2S pounds
OF fiber and 45.73 pounds OF carbo-
hydrates-on the other hand. whole
