weasels, does not believe in fast days,
and there are no yegetarians in the
family. Should prair1e-dog steaks be
scarce. field mice and small mammals,
as well as birds, serve as chops and

Because the prairie dog is q menace,

Rats and mice are also gladly parted
with. so the ferret is welcome to all
he eats.
The footed ferret Is not a cow

friendly. When cornered. he will hiss

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
Full Value in Vegetables
Cooking Methods Require Attention to Achieve
Best Results = Proper Use of
Dressings-Diet Needs.

TINE pairings OF vegetables contain
mineral matter and often q
percentage of the whole vege-
i table. both of which are valu-
able food. PAIRING the vegetables
too thick Is q waste of valuable food.
Cooking vegetables in their skins, which
are easily removed later, allows for less
waste than by peeling when uncooked.
Coarse leaves Of lettuce, celery tops
and roots, ends and roots Of other
greens may be saved, cooked until ten
der and used with stock for vegetable
SOUP. This the mineral matter, needed
in the diet, is saved for the family.
The water in which potatoes are cooked
should be saved and used for mixing
bread. Otherwise nutritious food runs
away through the kitchen sink.
A soup made on the basis OF few
bones is light one, in which the green
tops of leeks. leaves Of celery, stalks Of
parsley, ends of carrots and the hard
heart Of a cabbage, diced, are tied in a
thin cloth and simmered for about two
hours.
A stiff vegetable brush costing or
10 cents will save time and waste in
preparing some of the vegetables which
must be scraped or peeled. BY scrubbing
them thoroughly the skin can be re-
moved quickly without cutting away
any OF the edible part Of the vegetable.

Spinach Stalks.
Cream of spinach soup is made by
chopping the stalks very fine and Sim

til they are very tender, when the soup
Is thickened as usual. French chefs
