one who may have hesitated to Gull
the home flock to get rid of 'boarder'

In July, 1921, when Mrs. Kruse had
21O hens, she called in the extension

out so "loafers,' which were sold

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In the making of pies small por-
ton of dough, insufficient for another
pie, is frequently left over. This may
be utilized in various ways. The fol-
lowing are recommended by household
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture:
Pastry crisps.
The dough may be simply rolled thin,
cut into squares, sprinkled with sugar
and cinnamon, and baked until crisp.
These do well to serve with sauce or
other desert, and are more economical
of time and money than are most
cookies or cake.
Roly-Poly.
Roll pastry until about one-fourth
inch In thickness, cover with dried cur
rants or with blackberries, raspberries
or blueberries well sweetened, sprinkle
with flour, and then roll like a jelly
roll. Bake in a moderately hot oven
until well done. Serve with liquid
sauce.
Cheese Straws.
Roll pastry thin, cover with grated
cheese or with highly seasoned soft
cheese; fold into thirds and roll again
into a thin, long sheet; cut into mar
row strips and bake in hot oven un-
til delicately Drowned. These are
good to serve with salads.

culls were watched for four days, but
laid no eggs.
Mrs. Kruse kept record of eggs
produced and sold during the year, but
did not include those used in the
home, which amounted to good many
dozens. The flock has more than paid
for n new poultry house built last fall,
from plans furnished by the extension
agent Eggs sold during the year
brought $477.59, the old hens sold for
S77.S0. Several cockerels were sold
for breeding purposes. and the rest
were marketed while young, bringing
in considerable additional money
Three neighbors who saw Mr.. Kruse's
poultry house borrowed the plans and
built similar ones.

in preparation Of the drinks. The
following milk drinks were prepared
by the youthful demonstrators and
sold at the BOOTH
Cherry Milk Blossom, consisting of
three tablespoonfuls of homemade
cherry sirup in half-pint glass Of
cold milk.
Rural Rooters Special, half ginger
ale, and half milk. with one teaspoon
full of sugar to the glass, and crushed
