SOME HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Cheese is an excellent meat substi-
tute because it is rich in protein ana
fat and contains calcium, phosphorus,
and vitamin A.
Blankets should be hung for drying
so the stripes are vertical. This pre-
vents the brighter cOors from run
ming into the ground color.
To cut butter without having 1t
stick to the knife, rinse the knife off
with hot water first, or fold a piece
of waxed paper over the sharp edge.
The miles she walks in her work,
not to her work, are what make the
housewife weary. Rearranging equip
ment will often reduce the distances.
No room can be really comfortable
unless it is attractive. Badly-Selected
furniture poorly arranged means ac-
tual discomfort. conscious or other

room.

said:
IL inherited what talents possess

clever story teller. He used to have
each of us children write story to
be read aloud at Christmas, and as
we were never allowed to vote for

the prize.

odd uses, like peeling potatoes or
whiting.
Lamb shoulder, as cut for the retail
trade, is almost as square and plump
as a cushion. 1t contains four or five
ribs, the shoulder blade, the round
arm bone, and part of the neck. To
bone it. lay the shoulder fiat on the
table with the fat side down and the
rib side up. First, slip the knife un-
der the edges of the ribs and follow
down along them to the neck bone,
leaving just as much meat as possible
on the shoulder. Cut the ribs and the
neck bones from the meat. Inside the
shoulder there still remain the blade
bone and the short end of the arm.
The fiat blade and the round arm bone
form a sort Of ell that extends through
the center of the shoulder. The edge
of the blade bone can be seen on the
rear of tie shoulder. and the arm bone
cutting. Slip the knife deep into the
meat along the top or smooth side of
the shoulder blade. Continue the cut
around the corner to the arm bone,
raising a flap of lean meat that can
be laid back far enough TO expose the
full length OF the bones. Peel ont the
shoulder blade and arm bone. Yeu
now have cushion of meat open on
two adjacent sides with fine large
pocket to hold tasty stuffing.
Whether roasted with or without stuff
ing, the edges of the pocket should
be sewed together before cooking.

Ants Not Only Gather, but Even Grow Grain

proved upon the ancient methods of
the Old-world harvesters the Ameri-
cans not only harvest grain, but grow

yards in diameter surrounding the
main entrance OF their nest they ex-
terminate with their jaws every plant
other than the so-called ant rice. which
thus becomes pure crop and. in the
absence of all competition, fourishes.
These ants have also a clear idea of
the importance of facilitating trans
port by making broad. straight roads
through the bush and keeping them
clear of encroaching weeds. Some OF
their grain stores are said to be at a
depth of IL feet below the surface. ap-
