ness of the pork may be served. Cat
sup or sweet pickle, or tomato or
onion gravy-something with pro-
nounced flavor-combines well with
the mild flavor Of veal chops.
The chief point about any metAed
of cooking chops Is to scar the out
side at once at high temperature
to prevent the juices from escaping
Then if they are to be cooked until
well done, as pork chops must be, the
temperature should be reduced and
chops allowed to cook slowly.
To broil chops In gas oven, put
them on the rack In the pan that
slides under the flame and turn them
several times. Many people think that
a chop broiled over live Goals or a
wood fire has no equal. For this a
creased wire broiler Is used. Pan
broiling is done in heavy iron skill
let heated Kissing hot. The chops are
put in, turned as soon as the under
surface is scared, and scared on the
other side. Then turn them often. lift
ing them between two forks to avoid
piercing the surface and losing the
meat juice. They will be well done
in 10 or II minutes.
Prevent Drying Out.
Tender veal chops are often pro-
tected from drying out by coating Of
egg and bread crumbs. They are then
fried in deep or shallow fat. If veal
is dry or tough it must be cooked a
little differently to develop tenderness.
Dip the chops in flour and cook in
shallow fat until a crust is formed on
both sides. Then add hot water and
simmer the meat slowly until tender.
A rich brown gravy containing all
the goodness that cooks out Of the
meat is formed, and should be served
with the chops, slightly thickened If
necessary. Veal chops may be sea-
soned with lemon and worcestershire
sauce before cooking, to give a more
zestful flavor.

Swiss Chard Among Most
Satisfactory Vegetables

Swiss chard is one of the most salts
factory of the green-leaf vegetables
available in the summer. The United
States Department Of Agriculture sug-
gests several ways of preparing it:
Select fresh, crisp chard; if at all
wilted, crisp by allowing it to stand
in cold water for 10 to Is minutes.
Trim the leaves from the stalks, and
cut the stalks into inch pieces. Cook
for about 20 minutes in unsalted boil
ing water in an uncovered pan. Chop
the leaves and add them to the stalks
and continue the cooking until the
stalks are tender. Drain; season with
salt, a little pepper, and butter, and
serve very hot
An attractive dish can be made by
cooking the stalks and leaves of chard
separately, making cream sauce for
the stalks, and placing the seasoned
leaves around the edge of the serving
dish. Another variation is crisp bacon
chopped, and served on top of the
cooked chard. Or hard-cocked egg
may be sliced and used to garnish the
top. Lemon juice and vinegar are
liked by many persons as season.

Prices for Beef
Cattle Highest

an increased movement Of such cattle
out Of southern areas During the
first four months of this year, cattle
receipts at southern markets increased
10000 head or % per cent over the
same period last year. Also the high
er price for the lower grades of cat
tie has increased the receipts of such
cattle at the small corn-belt markets.
The decrease, while small as to total
numbers, amounted to II per cent.
Period of Overproduction.
The cattle industry for number
of years has been passing through a
period of overproduction which has
resulted in curtailment, liquidation,
heavy market receipts, and conse-
quently high slaughtering ratio to
numbers remaining on farms and
ranges. This has temporarily in
creased the tendency to market cattle
at younger ages, resulting in more
rapid turnover. With the present
trend away from the production of
aged grass steers our beef supply de-
ponds more on the feeder.
The higher price level for cattle
may possibly be accompanied by some
further culling and liquidation Of
range herds this fall, but we are ap-
preaching the end Of the period Of
overmarketing and, except for forced
marketings because of drought con-
ditions, the number of cattle forced
on the slaughter market will be limit
ed. Prices in western areas have in
creased more proportionately than
have prices at the central markets.
Breeding animals and growing stock
are in "strong hands," and with avail
able pasture or range, excessive mar
ket supplies of range cattle for sew
eral years seem doubtful.
The total number of all cattle and
calves in the II western states has de-
clined about / per cent since 1920, and
the total for the United States has de-
clined 1914 per cent. While it is impos-
sible to make any definite segregation
between dairy and beef cattle, beef
cattle in the West seem to have de-
creased fully % per cent during the
past seven years.

All Glasses and Grad es
Have Participated in
Advance Since 1920.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment OF Agriculture.)
Beef cattle this season have sold
the highest for the season since 1920
when prices were on high level be-
cause Of war imitation, according to a
review of the spring cattle market is
sued by the bureau of agricultural
economics, United States Department
of Agriculture. All classes and grades
of cattle have participated in the adj
vance, the general price increase
over last year and the five-year aver
age ranging from Il to q per cent.
The present comparatively high
price level for the better grades of
fed steers is unusual for this season
of the year, says the bureau, and is
attributed partly to the fact that re-
corn-belt and eastern markets were 4
per cent smaller during the first four
months of this year than during the
same period last year. There was a
considerably larger decrease at some
of the markets, particularly those re-
ceiving high proportion Of fed cat
tie. The premium for weight also has
been a factor in raising the average
price for the better grades of fed
steers.
Strengthening Was Less.
During each of the past five years
production for the first four months
hnf hn q
year previous, but this year proved
to be an exception. Beef produced
from cattle slaughtered under federal
inspection during the first four months
of this year was per cent less than
was produced in the same period Of
1926. Most of the decrease occurred
in March and April. The live cost of
these cattle to Slaughterers for the
four months averaged $S.OS against
$7.49 in 1926, an advance of per
cent over last year, or IA per cent
over the five-year average. The long
time trend in cattle slaughter has
been upward, especially the number
of head slaughtered under federal in
spection and the quantity of beef
which moves into commercial chan
nels.
The generally higher average prices
for slaughter cattle during the past
few years have been accompanied by
increased total and per capita con-
sumption of beef, indicating an in
creasing consumptive demand for this
product. With total beef consumption
increasing in population, with con-
sumers adjusted to the heavy beef
consumption of the last few years,
and with the present trend of poten-
tial supplies downward, the outlook
for the industry appears very favor
able.

Good Pasture Grass to
Help Milk Production

Good pasture grass holds place in
the list, of delicacies for dairy cows
which no other feed can quite fill. It
does have a wonderfully stimulating
effect on milk production after cow
has gone through the winter on dry
feed alone. However, the ability Of
grass to produce milk is generally
overestimated, and cow cannot
maintain a heavy flow of milk on
grass alone. Grass, and especially
early grass, contains a high per cent
Of water and it is a physical impos-
Sibility for cow to eat enough to
supply nutrients for more than % to
80 pounds of milk a day. Cows CIV
ing more than this should receive
grain in proportion to their produc-
ton.

MATURITY AFFECTS
QUALITY OF CORN
Toughness Increases Rapid
ly as Kernels Develop.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Quality in canned sweet corn is due
to both factory and farm influences.
The conditions in the factory which
affect the quality of the canned prod
uct are generally understood, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, and canning methods are fairly
well standardized. Improvement in
canned sweet corn is most likely to be
brought about, therefore, by better
understanding of the factors on the
farm which make for better quality
of the raw material delivered to the
factory.
For several years G. A. Magoon and
@. w. Culpepper, of the department,
have been making special study OF
the growing of sweet corn to deter
mine the factors which have bearing
on it's quality. From the considerable
knowledge already gained it appears
that one of the most important fac
tors is the tenderness or toughness
of the kernel hull. This, they find,
ent varieties, but is particularly at
fected by the degree Of maturity OF
the corn. Toughness increases very
rapidly as the kernels develop toward
maturity, being most rapid during sea-
sons of high temperature. In cool
weather the increase is much less
rapid. From the standpoint of tough
ness the period during which first
quality corn can be packed is very
short.
Consistency, sweetness and natural
fiavors are likewise Of Importance.
When corn is too mature the deslr-
able flavor disappears and one less de-
sirable takes its place. Tests have
shown that any of the standard va
rieties yield a first-class product If
canned at the proper stage Of ma
turity.

Reduce Sow's Grain

When pigs are to be weaned the
amount of grain fed the sow should be
reduced. 1t is also good plan to take
the SOW off pasture for few days at
that time until her milk flow ceases.
During the summer, sows should run
on good pasture and be fed enough
grain to bring them along in good con-
dition to farrow in the fall. Three or
four pounds of grain per sow per day
should be sufficient. The young SOW
should be fed enough grain to provide
for normal growth.
