A bread pudding will be "soggy and
sad" if you use too large a proportion
of bread to eggs. Or it may come
from cooking at too high tempera-
ture. 1t is much better to cook any
custard-like pudding in pan of water
in the oven. The water keeps the
eggs from being overlooked.

ROSEBUD HENS
RESPONDING TO
IMPROVED CARE

Forsyth. March l3.-The poultry
industry in Rosebud county is com
ine into the foreground. A large
percentage of the farmers are taking
more interest in improving their
flocks. some of them going as far as
to keep records, while others are
securing better results through i'm
proved feeding and housing condi
tions, according to q report made to
the state extension d. apartment by
Miss Jessie Adee, home demonstra-
ton agent
During the past year an effort
was made to secure better market
ind of poultry and poultry products
through improved quality with con-
siderable success. AS step in this
direction an egg marketing associa-
ZION was organized in the Pleasant
valley community, which boasts q
large number of poultry breeders.
Miss Harrietta Cushman, state poul-
try specialist. conducted two poul.
try and egg grading demonstrations
for the benefit Of the members, and
w. C. Smith. member of the or
ganization. was granted graders
license by the state department of
agriculture The association sold
40 cases of extra select eggs at q
profit estimated at a cents per doz-
en- above the local market.
The volume of eggs produced in
the county is not yet sufficient to
more than supply the local demand
except during the spring months.
Consequently. marketing is not the
problem here that it is in some Sec
,ions. In fact, it is necessary to
ship in eggs during November and
December, but better practices
mona poultry raiaers Of the county
are assisting in remedying this stu
alton
Four H poultry clubs for boys and
girls as we'll as clubs for farm w0
men have done much to interest
farm families in better poultry and
improved methods of caring fos
their fowls, in this county during
the past four or five wears. There
are now very few farmers entirely
without poultry. and a number OF
farms have found the hen one OF
their most profitable side lines.
