Card for Your Kitchen.

The States Relations service of the United States department of agriculture has recently issued “A Guide in Baking.” The whole thing is printed on a card, ten by five and a half inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen wall. On it are the measurements of flour. The weights and measures were tested in the office of Home Economics. The table, adhered to, will enable the housewife to make good griddle cakes, muffins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits and nut or raisin bread without using any wheat flour. Whatever recipes she has used successfully with w’heat flour, she may continue to use successfully with substitutes for wheat flour, for instance, the table shows that, if one cup of wheat flour was used in a certain recipe and it Is desired to substitute barley flour, one and three-eighths cups will be necessary, while all the other Ingredients remain as in the old recipe. A number of good combinations are worked out. By mixing two of the substitutes as indicated, the housewife will get better results than if she used one substitute. At the bottom of the card are half a dozen "cautions,” aids ,in baking with substitute flours that have been carefully worked out by experts. A copy of the card may be had from the States Relations service, Department of agriculture, Washington, D. C.
