Preparing for Summer Picnic
Equipment Is Simple and May Be Easily Ob-
 tained

'.If picnics did nothing but make as forget formalities, routine prac- tices, and everyday cares they would be worthwhile" suggests Harriet w. Allard in The House hold magazine. There is restful abandon in eating out-of-doors. Happily, picnic equipment may be obtained easily, and appetizing meals may be served ably and with less confusion than the same meal would demand if served indoors"
 In studying paper dishes at the Household Searchlight, Mrs Allard the home testing plants director, reports that they have found that the non-absorbent ones are the most satisfactory. Those divided into compartments are large enough to hold 8 cup or glass and to place several foods on one plate with suf- ficient room to serve them appetiz- .ingly. For further convenience, these large paper plates are fitted on . lightweight lacquered tray. A set of trays, one for each member of the party, is permanent equip ment. Refllls for the next picnic can be obtained.
 Other practical picnic equipment told about and illustrated includes a carrying basket with an oil-cloth covering, a waterproof table cloth, paper napkins and towels, paper or wooden forks and spoons, waxed paper for wrapping and keeping the food palatable. A different man. ner of serving salads at picuic is to make the individual salad in a

 The making of sandwiches with these spreads is simplicity itself. Just slice your bread. open the cans, land smear them on. thick for the youngsters, and with little more restraint for the older members of the party. They can be varied, | if you like, with a little mayonnaise and chopped sweet pickle, but you will find that they are most accept able just as they come from the can. The can in which these new spreads are put up contain three and a half ounces each, so that, with a little practice you can fore cast just how many you will need. And think of the time saved which you can put in enjoying yourself now that picnics have been simplifed.

Suggestions for

 Recipes

(Department of Food Economies Armour and Company
 Keeping file of favorite recipes is an excellent habit to form-for 1t not only assist i,S preparing in- promptu meals, but makes possible more varied menu for the week.
 During the spring and early sum- mer when appetites are somewhat jaded, it is necessary to offer foods that will help to pep up the appet- tite without satisfying it to the fullest extent. The dishes should offer ample food value, without giv- ing the slightest hint toward heavi- ness. Therefore foods should he choosen for the particular food ele- ments they offer. That is why Full Cream Cloverbloom Butter does play such an important part not only in the well balanced spring-but in the
 all-year-around diet. Full Cream" you know, means eight half-pints of
 rich cream in every pound of but ter.
 Creamed soups, tasty meat dishes, delicious sauces and appetite creat- l ing vegetables and dessert combina- tions will do much to add note of interest to every day meals. Try these favorites of mine-and If you like them I hope they will ] find their way into your recipe | file."

PLATE DINNERS | A CONVENIENCE

 Serving the dinner plates in the kitchen is good habit to acquire, es- pecially when the dishes are to be washed by mother or the other men- bers of the family. Then too it is great fun to arrange the food attrac- lively on the plates and watch how quickly it disappears for even sag ging appetite will perk up at the sight of well cooked food. beauti- fully served.
 When planning plate dinners (yes, they should be planned to get best results) try to choose foods that will harmonize in color, flavor and tex ture. Bring in as much color as pos sible without having the plate ap- pear as If 1t had run riot.
 The most attractive plate dinner is planned around meat and rightly so, for meat is an excellent food, good body and health builder. With the present low prices of meat no one can afford to go without this nu- tritious food and an ample portion should therefore appear in the daily diet.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOT WEATHER
Jellied Fruit Salads and Other Refreshing Com
 binatiOr1s
USE FRESH FRUITS

How often we hear the complaint, q am at my wits end to know what to have for dinner to-daye" This despairing note often leads to a repe- tition of dishes and dimunition of appetite. If dyspepsia isn't bred by satisfaction, it is often helped along by the recurrence of the same old dishes.
 This condition Is particularly ag- gravated in hot weather. The neces- sity to keep the mind and body ener- getic and the temperature low makes the selection of proper foods a formidable task to many house. wives. Fortunately Nature has pre- pared for this season by producing more fruits, berries, melons and veg etables, plainly indicating what Is most beneficial for warm weather. Thus the housewife has wider choice of possible dishes to relieve some of the monotony. Summer Is the time to flood the body with the |vitamins and minerals of fruits and vegetables that a1eutra1ize toxins and |acids. Dried fruits, extremely useful in winter, may be discarded for the fresh supply indigenous to the local |ity or obtainable at small cost in the markets.
 Some summer recipes, rich in wit amins, are mentioned here:

Satisfactory Storage
for Potatoes in Pits

Properly constructed pits provide
cheap but satisfactory storage for po-

The spuds should be placed in the pit
as soon as harvested but should be

says A. E. Hutchins, vegetable spe-
cialist, University farm, st. Paul. Care
must be taken to keep them dry and

the ground freezes the covering should
be increased.
Pits should be made in well drained
soils. A good size is four feet deep,
six feet wide, and as long as needed

hold about 100 bushels for each five

some points on the making Of silage

OF late years the tendency has been
to allow the corn crop to stand until
more mature. The proper time to cut
corn for the silo is about a week or
ten days before it is ready to put up

dented and the lower leaves on the
