The experts conducting recent dii experiments admit the menus oftei do not contain enough vegetables V. constitute a perfectly balanced schcd ule. Doctors tell us that at all time, of the year spinach is one of the most valuable of vegetable foods. It is es pecially good in winter and is one o the cheapest of fresh vegetables in th< market. Spinach should always bt cooked in enameled ware. In that waj it retains not only its flavor but alsc its bright green colour which is easib darkened. Spouts of tea pots and noses of pitchers seem to be specially vulner able to the accidents which will occm in even the best managed households It is most annoying to have an other wise whole pitches discarded because a broken nose makes it useless foi pouring. To obviate this difficulty have only enameled ware. It is hard ly more expensive than the coarse stone ware which is both heavy and clumsy. It is light and easily cleaned. And last, but not least, it is ornamental as it comes in many pretty colors. The total stocks of broilers reported by 149 storages on November 1, 1917, amounted to 3.819,587 pounds, while the total stocks reported by 142 storages on October 1, 1917, amounted to 3,405,894 pounds. The reports of 101 storages show stocks of 1,598.598 pounds on November 1 ,1917, as compared with 2.358,617 pounds on November 1. 1916. a decrease of 32.2 per cent. The reports of 120 storages show that the stocks increased 7.7 per cent during October, 1917, while the reports of 81 storages show stocks increased 57.7 per cent during October 1916. The total stocks of cured beef reported by 345 storages on November 1, 1917 amounted to 34,630,517 pounds, while the total stocks reported by 343 storages on October 1, 1917. amouted to 33.033,859 pounds. The reports of 294 storages show stocks of 32,095,326 pounds on November 1, 1917, as compared with 30,012,969 pounds on November 1, 1916, an increase of 6 9 per cent. The reports of 308 storages show that the stocks increased 6.1 per cent during October. 1917, while the reports of 252 storages show stock increased 46.7 per cent during October 1916. The late hard pears which are only fit for cooking can‘also be utilized for jam. Peel these pears and core them. Put them in an enameled waj-e preserving kettle in which they can cook safely without danger from the action of acid on the metal and let them stand over a slow fire until perfectly soft. Add one-third the quantity of sour apples and a few quinces, if obtainable. Cook again until the mass is a smooth marmalade. Sweeten with brown sugar in the proportion of one cup of sugar to three of the marmalade. This jam is very wholesome as well as delicious and economical. In a bulletin issued by one of the state colleges on the food conservation problem called, “A dozen and one ways of saving fats.” the thirteenth item is: “Make soap from fats which cannot be eaten.’ This is not as difficult as it sounds. Gone is the heavy iron kettle which caused soap making to be such a back breaking affair. In its place we have light and safe enameled ware, which cannot be affected by the action of the alkali. Let uneatable fats accumulate. Never mind 'f they do become rancid. When enough are on hand to fill an enameled ware preserving kettle about two-thiids full, put on a moderate fire and cook until all is a smooth mass. Then stir ;in concentrated lye according to the directions which come on all packages * Five cer.t.'- wortli of tliie lye ' enough for- a large kettle of soup. Remove from the fire and set away to stiffen. ——oPrussic Acid. Prussic acid is so deadly that even the smell of the acid produces pnin in the throat, and in the region of the heart. There are few poisons for which there is such little opportunity lor an antidote. If there is time—and there seldom is, for the poison is almost instantaneous —ammonia Inhaled very freely miQ' give relief and reduce the absolute certainty of death to a grave probability. . > Picturr-xiue. ,i-. ituilfl' can bl use: lire out of e - .cl News.
