But remember movie stars are too busy to
enjoy normal exercise. Willard Webb, who
undertook recently to give specifications Of the
ideal type of girl after he finished directing
"Glorifying the American Girl" with Mary
Eaton in the title role, believes that the 18-day
diet is not enough food for the normal young
woman. Normal exercise, he claims, will do
more than diet.

Fall PIOw For Permanent Pasture

Fall PlOW For Permanent Pasture
At the Beltsville, Nd, experiment
farm, dairy specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
seed permanent pasture with grass
seed mixture in the following pro-
portions: orchard grass, pounds;
timothy, 4 pounds; redtop, 3 pounds;
bluegrass, pounds; red clover,
pounds; alsike clover, 2 pounds.
This mixture has proved desirable
for the vicinity of Washington, D. c..
1t is sowed about April 1 on ground
that was fall-plowed and manured.

Guinea For Game
Guinea fowl are used extensively
as substitute for game birds and
guinea raising in small flocks on
general farms is becoming more pro-
fitable. The demand in late summer
at city markets is for young birds
weighing from to III pounds. AS
the fall season advances heavier
birds are in demand. Guineas are fed
in much the same way as chickens,
but they need less feed as they are
natural rangers and obtain much of
their feed in that manner.
E%S
If pockets cannot be placed on a
child's dress because they spoil the
design or if they cannot be used be-
cause of pleats or other features,
make pocket on the bloomers or
drawers. Every child needs a pock-
ct in every dress or suit.
Left over egg yolks have many
uses. They are valuable source of
iron and so should always be utiliz-
ed. They may be hard-cooked in the
double boiler, mashed and seasoned
for sandwich filling. Raw or hard
cooked egg yolks make a good foun-
dation for salad dressing. Several
good egg sauces for fish or meat can
be made with the yolks only, and
soft custard for dessert is still an
other use.
Probably fewer sandwiches would
be discarded from children's lunch
boxes if the bread were always of
the best quality. Children will eat
more bread if different kinds are
Milford chronicle., 1929-09-20

served. Sometimes so simple q
change as baking the bread in a new
form,-a twist or rolls instead of q
loaf, or cutting the sandwiches into
fancy shape with a cookie cutter
will increase interest in it. The
change of flavor given by added rails
ins, dried currants, dates, or nut
meats is another inducement to like
the lunch bread.
When sour milk is to be substitu-
ted for sweet in making quick breads
and cakes use the same quantity of
sour milk and enough baking soda to
neutralize the acid, or one scant half
teaspoon for each cup of sour milk.
For griddle cakes and thin batters
the soda and sour milk generally
furnish enough leavening, but thick
er batters and dough require some
baking powder in addition. In substi-
tuting sweet milk for sour, use tea
spoons of baking powder for each
spoonful of soda if no other acid in
gredient is used, such as molasses.
If such an acid is used, some soda is
needed.
The last cutting of alfalfa in Sec
tions of the country where winter
killing occurs should be made early
enough to allow a growth of to 8
inches for protection in the winter.
| HSH
Banking row of late celery with
earth not only blanches the crop, but
produces celery of superior quality
and protects it from early frosts.
Celery can often be left in the field
two or three weeks after the first
frosts if the earth is drawn well up
to the tops of the plants. Paper or
boards should be used for blanching
the early or summer crop because
banking with soil causes decay of
the plants in warm weather.
Silage made from corn containing
moisture enough for proper preser-
vation is more palatable to stock
than that made from corn so mature
as to need the addition of water. Us
ually corn should be harvested for
IuC Blu clOOuI q nOCh VI bCA1 hdJo
before it would be cut for shocking.
At this time the lower leaves on the
stalk are turning brown and the
green corn fodder contains about 20
per cent of moisture, which is
enough for silage.
E$&
Wounds in potatoes are the most
frequent source of storage rot, and
careful handling during harvest and
storage will decrease loss from this
source. Cooling freshly harvested
potatoes too rapidly may cause
wound rot, because of the slowing
down of wound repair. If wounds
are properly healed before potatoes
are placed in storage, and if suf1ci-
ent ventilation is provided to keep
them dry during storage, very low
temperature is unnecessary to pre-
vent loss by storage rot.
