INSIDE INFORMATION

soaking the soles in a grease tina
will make them waterproof. IN
United States Department OF Agrl
culture recommends several simpl
formulas for the purpose.
Rice can be cooked in an open ket
tie in Is to 20 minutes. A large
quantity of water should be used
AS soon as a grain pressed between
the thumb and forefinger is soft and
has no hard portion in the center
the rice should be taken from the
fire, drained, covered with a CLOTH
and allowed to steam until the
grains swell and separate.
In cake recipes with a number OF
eggs, it is possible to substitute
baking powder for one or two OF
the eggs called for, during the per-
iod of egg scarcity. OF course the
cake will not be so rich as when all
the eggs required are used. Allow
one-half teaspoon of baking powder
and two tablespoons of milk for
each egg omitted From half to two
thirds of the eggs called for should
be used even when this substitution
is practiced.
For rather novel sandwiches or
thin bread and butter for afternoon
tea make some orange bread. The
flavor is given by the cooked peel of
2 oranges. This is cut into shreds,
covered with water and cooked for
about 20 minutes, or until tender,
and then drained. Next cook the
peel in a syrup made of one cup OF
sugar and 1-2 cup of water until
here is only about 1 tablespoon of
he syrup left. Sift together 8 cups
If flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder,
md 1-2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1
tablespoon of butter and add I we'll
leaten egg and one and a quarter
ups of milk. Beat this mixture for |
bout minutes. Stir in the orange
,eel and mix thoroughly. Pour in a
creased bread pan and bake for one
lour in a moderate oven-(about I
25 degrees to $50 degrees F.
The hen that lays a small egg is
bad influence. 1t takes nerve to
ull her out of the flock, especially
{ she is high producer, but rigid
ulling of small-egg hens must be
one to improve the flock and to
void price cuts that go with small
ggs.
Don't overwork your alfalfa patch.
Italia that goes into the winter
18th considerable growth will come
ut in better condition in the
pring. Too late pasturing or cut
ng may kill a stand. For new
sedings that have not made much
rowth, light dressings of straw
clip to reduce the chances for win
# injury.
Lack of housing and of proper care
farm machinery means a loss in
)llars and cents. BY housing farm
it's life is doubled and
e annual repair bills cut in half,
ys the U. S. Department of -Agri-
llture. Machinery should also be
tinted and the polished surfaces
'eased to prevent excessive rust

In order to have a good sweet

ther fall wheat land or falI-plowed
low land is good for this purpose.
rect clover sown in March will be
ady to pasture at least four weeks
rlier than if sown in April and the
ants will be nearly twice as large.
Plumbing pipes exposed to the
nter weather may prove trouble
me than the old "teakettle and
mp" combination. Remember
: pipes that froze last winter? For
OtectiOn, commercial coverings,
homemade wrappings of felt or
gging,- may be used; or parts of
; pipes may be boxed and sur
lnded with material such as saw
st, straw, or granulated cork. ..
Fhe garage may be useful for stor-
something besides the family Z
%. If it is dry, we'll ventilated, +

odor out of the house. Late DO h

our dairy COW may be getting all e
nutrients she needs, but is her o

ITS and production are such that G.

tein and IA pounds of non-pro- p
feed nutrients, the protein can ci
supplied by feeding her 20 lbs. .
timothy hay and 19 lbs. of corn. 81
she will get about lbs. more of
non-protein feed nutrients than fl
essary. By substituting 8 1-2 lbs. T

equally high in digestible pro- D
for IA pounds of the corn she st
be just as well nourished and to
feed cost will be much lower. =
