Good School Lunches

Here are some things you may not
have tried in the school lunches;
sliced meat loaf; rolls followed out
and filled with chopped meat meat
or fish, moistened with salad dress
ing and seasoned; salad; cheese
straws; stuffed eggs; tomatoes and
whole fresh fruits; cut-up fruit;
brown-sugar or maple sugar sand
wiches, made with crackers or hot
biscuit so as to melt the sugar;
sausage turnovers; stuffed prunes or
dates or figs; cup custard; small
box of raisins; a cake of chocolate;
little tarts, cookies or frosted cakes;
sandwiches of two kinds Of bread; a
bottle of orange or grape juice; lem
on juice sweetened ready to make
into lemonade at school.
See that sandwiches, cookies,
slices of cake, fruit-in fact, every
thing that goes into the lunch box
are wrapped separately in waxed pa
per. This not only prevents crush
ing, but keeps them moister or
crisper, as they happen to require
Provide paper napkins, to keep hands
and clothing clean, and to spread on

Four Bad Years

The Plant Quarantine Act of 1922
gave us authority for the first time
to establish national defense against
entry Of plant pests. It took four
years of effort to get this legislation
on account of opposition of plant inn
porters. During these four years
the following pests gained entry and
establishment: Oriental fruit worm,
Japanese beetle, citrus canker, pota-
to wart, European corn borer, camp
hor scale, gypsy moth in New Jersey,
1910. These are all major pests,
probably the worst of their kind in
this country, and the list is some in
dication of the rate of entry prior to
the enforcement of the Plant Quar-
antine Act.

Farms win good woodlands sell

at this time, it cannot be expected to

bees will be reared to live through

worked through the summer will
soon die. Any colony which does
not have at least 80 pounds of hon
ey and the hive full of young bees
when cool weather comes should be
united with some other colony of the

Keep Dirt From Nlilk-Better Than
Removing 1t
While some of the dirt in milk
comes from the air, the hands and
clothing of the milke., and unclean
strainers, pals, cans, and other
utensils, the greater part drops from
the body of the COWS during milking.
Straining removes the coarse par
ticles of dirt but eliminates neither
the fine dirt nor bacteria. The pro-
cess improves the appearance of the
milk but may give a false impression
of the real cleanliness of the milk
if the results are used as the sole
guide.
Cheese cloth and wire strainers,
because of their coarse meshes, are
unsatisfactory for straining milk.
Absorbent cotton and filter cloth,
which can be bought from drug
stores or dairy supply houses at
comparatively moderate cost, remove
most of the sediment from milk.
Since the body of the cow is the
chief source of dirt in milk she
should be groomed frequently. In
addition the flanks, udder, and ada
cent belly should be cleaned with a
moist cloth just before milking
These parts if KEEP clipped are much
easier to clean.
The use of a hooded or small-top
milking pail also aids materially in
preventing dirt from falling into the
milk.
School Lunch Surprises
Think back to your own school
days, and recall how delighted you
were when you opened up your
lunch basket and found surprise
there. You will Immediately want to
pull your thinking cap" on little
more firmly and see what you can 90
to relieve the monotony Of the same
old sandwiches in Johnnie's OF
Mary's box. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has a few
suggestions to make that may help
you.
To begin with, you can't do en-
tirely without sandwiches, for they
are the most convenient method Of
combining several substantial foods
in small space, and they are easy
for the children to handle without
tableware. But you can make sand
wiches of different kinds of bread
graham, rye, raisin, nut, date, prune
or fig bread, and breads made from
cooked cereals with combinations oi
dried fruit and nuts. Then there are
the quick breads-rolls, biscuits
corn bread, mufins-which are no
necessarily served hot, although We
are apt to prefer them that way
Once in a while use one of these
different breads, either for sand
wiches, or without filings so they
do not seem like the same ole
thing. Save all the little jars tha
have tight lids-peanut butter an(
salad dressing jars, and jelly glass
es. Fill these jars with such favor
ite foods as honey or preserves, ap
pie sauce, stewed fruits, cottage
cheese, or anything that can not b.
spread in the ordinary way.
Savory fats can be made by cook
Milford chronicle., 1926-09-24
Calves Need Water

After the calf is two weeks old
give it access to plenty of fresh,
clean water at all times, and when
old enough to eat roughage see that
salt is always accessible. Many feed
ers seem to think that because the
calf drinks milk it does not need
water.

"Inside" Information

Sauce naturelle is made by thick
ening the water in which vegetable
was cooked. It may be made in con-
nection with many kinds Of vege-
tables, and will also provide the ba-
sis for q good vegetable soup, cream
ed or otherwise.
80
Don't boil string beans a long
time with Lam or pork merely to
flavor them. The vitamins will be de-
stroyed and most of the other valu-
able ingredients extracted. Instead
add bacon fat or crisp diced bacon
at serving time.
Add a tablespoon of horse radish
to sweet-sour sauce for beets.
80
Try potatoes cooked in tomato
juice insteal of water. Slice or dice
them for quick cooking.
80
Finely chopped raw celery Inn
proves many dishes, such as cream
ed beef, fish, crab meat, oysters, po-
tatoes, cabbage, or hard-cooked
eggs. Try 1t in cream sauce for
serving on croquettes; with creamed
canned peas and lima beans, steWeo
tomatoes ard other vegetables. ADD
just few minutes before serving
time.
80
Sticking Butter
To keep butter from sticking to
paddles anc other wooden utensils
these SHOULD be thoroughly rinsed
Immediately before using, first with
hot water, then with cold water
This fills the pores Of the wood with
water and prevents the butter from
sticking to it. Wooden utensils
should be cleaned Immediately after
using so that the fat will not have
an opportunity to get into the pores
of the wcod.
Smother Fire With SaWduSt
Sawdust is a good extinguisher of
oil fires especially if tie oil is in a
deep conta1ner. Sawdust poured on
burning oil floats and smothers the
fire by shutting off the oxygen. Care
must be taken that the saw6ust does
not become oil soaked and as hazard
Gus as the OIL itself. Two or three
pounds of common soda mixed with
Ducketfu4 of sawdust renders ii
Coarse saw pust should be used and
