Make Cottage Cheese Food That Is Nutritious and Cheaper Than Most Meats in Furnishing Protein

Preparing Homemade Cottage Cheese for the Market.

If s condensary is within reasonable distance the creameryman sometimes ran sell his skim milk there. Very few creameries, however, are so situated, and the largest opportunity for the creameryman to divert skim milk and buttermilk into channels of human cor ,mptlon Is by the manufacture rf i vitage cheese, says the United States department of agriculture. This product is easy to make and utilizes skim milk and good grades of buttermilk. Cottage cheese Is one of the important meat substitutes. It contains a larger percentage of protein (the chief material for body building) than most mea'ts and furnishes this material at a lower cost. In every pound of cottage cheese there is about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is digestible. Meats, on the other hand, usually contain less protein and besiJes have a certain waste, such as bone and other inedible material. A pound of cottage cheese daily would supply all the protein required by the ordinary adult engaged in a sedentary occupation. The following table shows that cottage cheese is much cheaper than meats in furnishing protein for the diet. For supplying protein, 1 pound of cottage cheese equals: 1.27 pounds sirloin steak. 1.0P pounds round steak. 1.37 pounds chuck rib beef. 1.52 pounds fowl. 1.46 pounds fresh ham. 1.44 pounds smoked ham. 1.58 pounds loin pork chop. 1.31 pounds hind leg of lamb. 1.37 pounds breast of veal. rccniMO OADADO TO THE CHICKENS By feeding kitchen scraps to poultry the last bit of waste of human food may be converted into good fresh eggs or meat, as may be desired, says the ü. S. Department of Agriculture. Fowls will eat all the leavings that are in edible form. By special preparation some things not adapted to human consumption become valuable feed for poultry. Fresh bones, crushed or ground, are a delicacy for them. They will eat considerable amounts of the parings of all kinds of vegetables if these are given in such form that the birds can swallow them readily. Many poultry keepers save parings, cook them with small potatoes aud other waste vegetables, and fed mixed with meals. Not all kitchen waste, however, makes poultry fed. The skins of bananas, oranges and lemons are not edible and should not be mixed with acraps that are to be fed to poultry, for the birds leave such stuff, and as it accumulates It makes the place where the they are fed look slovenly. Coffee grounds, and tea leaves In small quantities are not objectionable, but in large quantities should be disposed of separately. Fat meat In largo pieces should not be put with scraps for poultry because a hen can swallow a much larger piece of fat than Is good for her. By cutting waste fat in pieces no larger than one would cut for himself at the table, and by making sure that the fat does not exceed 10 per cent of the scraps fed at one time the dangers In feeding it are avoided. The best way to save kitchen waste for poultry Is to keep a one-gallon jar, of glazed or galvanized v.are, with a cover in a convenient place, putting Into this scraps of bread, cake, and meat from the table, remnants of servings of vegetables, cereals, pies, puddings, etc., and whatever waste from the preparation of meals is suitable to combine with these things In a mash. , Once a day the contents of the jar

In addition to protein, energy for performing body work must be furnished by food. As a source of energy, also, cottage cheese is cheaper than most meats at present prices. The following table shows the comparison when energy is considered. On the basis of energy supplied, 1 pound of cottage cheese equals: 8 1-3 ounces sirloin steak. 114 ounces round steak. 11. ounces chuck rib beef. 10 ounces fowl. 5 ounces fresh ham. 5 ounces smoked ham. G ounces loin pork chop. 7 1-3 ounces hind leg of lamb. 12 ounces breast of veal. A yield of 15 or more pounds of cottage cheese from 100 pounds of skim milk can readily be obtained, or a mixture of two parts skim milk and one of buttermilk will give the same results. The wholesale price on most established markets varies from 4 cents a pound during the early summer to 7 cents during the winter, the 1917 price showing marked increases over former years. When making as much as S00 pounds a day the total cost of manufacture, including labor, coal, power, water, packing (tubs), and depreciation on equipment, Is from S to 10 cents a hundred pounds of skim milk. It is quite evident that the creameryman Is in position to make his patrons a good business proposition. In most sections he can offer them a cashmarket for their skim milk at a price at least equivalent to the value obtained from feeding to animals. should be turned into a pail of appropriate sizes and as much ground feedstuff mixed with them as can be stirred in with a strong iron spoon or a wooden stirring stick. The amount and kinds of ground feeds to be used will depend upon the quantity of water with the scraps and whether any particular article predominates. Homing Pigeons Cost Less Than Any Other Soldiers In Service of Uncle Sam Someone has calculated that it costs Uncle Sam about $1,200 to train and equip a soldier and make him ready for the firing line. In the United States army at present, notes the New York Herald, there Is one little warrior who costs just o cents at the outset and needs only a few cents more a day for upkeep, but who, because of proven efficiency, Is now slated for a trip to France and a place In the fighting line. The little soldier was one of the homing pigeon exhibits of the United States government entered at the recent poultry show in Madison Square Garden. It was originally the property of Maj. Frank J. Griffin, who sold it to the government for the nominal price of five cents. Major Grifiin Is in command of the pigeon section of the army, and because it is not customary or proper for Uncle Sam to compete for prizes, he entered the bird and had the satisfaction of seeing It carry off the first award in its class and also the blue ribbon for the best young hen homer in the show. Than the government homers no section of the show attracted more general attention. Officers from the armies of Great Britain and France were especially interested in the exhibit, and a khaki-clad warrior approached Major Griffin to explain how on one occasion on the western front his life and that of his entire battalion had been saved by nothing more than a little homing pigeon, which had got out with Its message telling of the precarious predicament of the soldiers In the front trenches and enabling re-enforcements to be hurried up just in the nick of time.

HYMN TO THE NIGHT

I heard the trailing garments of the night Sweep through her marble halls! I saw her sable skirts all fringed with H&ht From the celestial walls! I felt her presence, by its spell of might, Stoop o'er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the night, As of the one I love. I heard Lie sounds of sorrow and delight. The manifold, soft chimc3( That All the haunted chambers of the night. Like some old poet's rhymes. t From the cool cisterns of the midnight air My spirit drank repose; The fountain of perpetual peace flows there Prom those deep cisterns floes. O holy ni;:ht! from thee I learn to bear "What man has borne before! Thou layest thy finger on the lips of care, And they complain no more. Peac! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer! Descend with broad-winged flight, The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fair. The best belowed night. Longfellow. PREVENT FIRE LOSSES By the U. S. Department of Agriculture Millions of dollars' worth of agricultural wealth is destroyed by fire each year in the United States. At normal prices and with an average yield it would take the feater part of the potato crop of the country to offset ail that is lost annually through fires on farms. This is a dead loss to the nationfor the fact that most individual losers are partially reimbursed by insurance does not in the least reduce the drain on our national resources and it is a loss that is largely preventable. The problem of fighting or preventing fire in the country districts is a most serious one, for organized fire prevention work such as has been developed to a science in many cities is practically impossible In the country. Sora fires on farms may be unavoidable, but a great many of them could be prevented by a comparatively small amount of time intelligently applied by the individual farmers in the study of conditions which are likely to cause fire, and by placing simple and inexpensive fire-fighting equipment In convenient places about the farm buildings. The farmer should study his buildings a..d their contents from the point of view of the fire Inspector of the city, whose sole business is to see ail the things that can be done to improve conditions so that fire cannot easily start, and to determine thef best ways of fighting any fires that -may start. He should remember that any preventive or protective measures which he may take are for his own benefit, and that protection sufficient to prevent a fire is cheap as compared with the loss entailed by the average farm fire. Every building or set of buildings has certain points which are more susceptible to fires than others, but adequate protection must be provided for the entire premises before the owner can be sure that some weakness due to oversight or neglect will not neutralize the good effect of all the work previously done. Most farmers carry fire insurance on their buildings and contents sufficient partly to repay for any losses that may occur; but this insurance is paid from premiums which are nothing more than a tax collected from the policyholders for this purpose. The loss occasioned by a serious fire is such that very few people can afford to be without fire insurance, but attention of the prevention of fire would result in reducing the number of fires, and, therefore, the rate of premiums necessary to cover the fire losses. This would be felt quickly in mutual companies which are owned and managed by the policyholders themselves and In which the premiums are fixed by the actual losses. t Newest Notes of Science. A new automobile clock is kept wound automatically by electricity. Japan is cutting away its forests at a rate of 1,000,000 acres a year. Oil of citronella will restore the color to most shades of tan or brown leather. Less than one-fifth of Spain's coal mines are officially recorded as productive. New hosiery Is made in "rights" and "lefts" to fit the feet and ankles more snugly. 1,426,000 Women at Work; Replaced 1,413,000 Men. An increase of 1,426,000 in the number of women employed since 1914 is shown In figures announced by the bureau of labor statistics. The greatest increase was In industries which took in 530,000 more women, but the largest proportionate increase was 214,000 additional women taken into government service. Women have replaced 1,413,000 men since 1914. Industrial and government work have taken 400,000 women formerly employed In domestic service or in dressmaking.

IN SMART

Women Given Chance in American-Made Cloth Costume. Milady, If Rushed for Time, and Dresses Carelessly, Cannot Adopt, Without Working Injury to Herself. The American woman is given a chance to look extremely smart in her American-made cloth costume. If she . has the ability to live up to the part assigned her by the designers. However, observes a fashion writer, it gives one a sinking feeling, after looking at a few dozens of remarkably good tailored frocks and suits designed here, that no woman who is rushed for time and dresses carelessly can adopt these clothes without working Injury to herself. Those who do not care to give a sin- ! gle extra moment to their dressing, 1 heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that the straight cloth skirt and simple jacket would be considered ex- f ceedlngly smart for the ten working hours of the day. But I think the sigh of relief was premature. The woman who wants to tumble into a comfort-: able skirt and slip on a loose jacket with a white shirtwaist, will not havo i her wish gratified this season, if she expects to remain in the fashion. Skirts are not especially comfortable to the careless women, because they must be slimly cut and narrow at the hem, and they are really intended for slim women. Jackets are not loose, and they cannot be carelessly adjusted. They have narrow Shoulders, tight armholes, long sleeves, slim underarm lines, and they need to be adjusted over a figure that is properly dressed from the skin up. It is said that all the corsets and lingerie had to be changed to correspond with the new costumes, and one can well believe it. If one's outer garment is to be cut after the silhouette of a pencil, there can be no comfort to the wearer unless the corset and the lingerie are correspondingly cut. There must be no gathers at the hips, no rough lines at the waist, no fullness across the bust, no bungling at tin armholes caused by undershirts or chemises. The woman who is about to step into one of these new and accepted tailored suits or gowns, must be as shipshape as a race horse going to the track. There must not be one unnecessary ounce of clothing on her, nor a single curve or bulge or bit of tnassed material from neck to heels. Unless she learns that lesson and learns it thoroughly, she may as well pass by the new American and French clothes and wear the loose, full ones of a year ago. EXERCISE OF GREAT VALUE Twisting' Motions, Accompanied by Massaging, Will Help to Gain That Coveted Shapeliness. How many of us sigh over our unshapely ankles! Yet if the trouble is not caused by misshapen bones we can do a great deal to alter what distresses us, states an authority. Exercise and massage will accomplish miracles if adhered to regularly and faithfully. In routine, rather than in spasmodic treatment, lies the secret of success in any beautifying method. The same exercises that reduce flesh will increase it provided that they are done severely In the former case and lightly in the latter. For flesh is to be pulled off in one instance and in the other developed. Remove the shoes and stockings and, sitting down, cross the knees so that one foot is raised from the floor with no support beneath it. Move this foot with a twisting motion from the ankle and then slowly bend it up and down, letting all the work be done from the ankle bone. When one foot grows tired, repeat it with the other. Then, standing and bearing the weight upon the heels, turn the feet from side to side and slowly rise up and down upon the toes. After ten minutes' work plunge the feet and ankles into a comfortably hot bath and leave them there for five to ten minutes. MUSHROOM HAT APPEARS The mushroom type of hat, that bears so striking a resemblance to the hats the coolie boatmen of the Chinese rivers wear, is back again in style. Tlile smart hat is fashioned of flame- , colored straw. The brim Is set low in front, and tilted high on the crown in th back.

CLOTHES

HAS KNITTING POCKETS ratriotism ana tasnion are going hand in hand this spring. In this dress a chance to combine a roomy knitting pocket with the new barrel sil houette effect is given. The dress is a two-piece creation of pussy-willow taf feta. The long fold around the neck extends down the paneled front of the frock. The paneled front gives added charm to the white net vestee. The oriental design is in red, blue, yellow and green. SPRING DRESSES IN PARIS Two Materials Are Still Used to Make One Frock Embroidery Is Much Used for Trimming. At a place where about one hundred and fifty frocks were shown every one was marked by that hallmark of French taste In clothessimplicity, ob serves a Paris correspondent. Tailormades, little dresses, dinner gowns. were all simple; exaggerations wTere not to be found. Black silk jersey was much used for tailor-mades, with long waistcoats of embroidered linen, the neatest of these being a white one fine ly embroidered in jet beads. Skirts are short and slim, coats are either redingote or short, the three-quarter coat being nowhere. There are pockets and buttons, but the pockets do not bulge; they lie flat and have but toned back flaps. Collars are no longer important for size, but there are some well-cut shawl collars on the coats, some of which run off into a waistbelt and button behind. Beige, sand color, gray, navy blue and black are the colors for tailored suits ; some show practically no trimming ex cept In the waistcoat, or in pockets and buttons. Basques show- a slight fullness on the hips, and skirts look even narrower than they are, as they often have a deep hidden plait. Little dresses of all kinds are shown this season, from the most simple of country frocks in linen to the most elaborate town dress In taffetas, crepe de chine, silk crepons and mousseline de soie. Two. materials are still used to make one frock, and embroidery Is much used for trimming. A favorite embroidery Is gray Angora mixed with white or blue, and there are some good little dresses in black crepe do chine with dawn and gray embroideries or impressions. The sleeveless pinafore tunic with wide shoulders and loose sash belt Is general. Sashes, loose belts and girdles are common. Short sleeves are as general as long ones, especially tor the young. SOME DRESSY COAT BLOUSES Peplum Models Chosen by French Women in Preference to All Others, Paris Correspondent Writes. Blouse designers continue to show peplum models, but many Insist they be called "coat" blouses, inasmuch as the word peplum has not proved Itself a sales maker during the past two or three seasons. French women ! prefer the peplum model to all others, says a Paris writer, and there Is no denying that a blouse that extends be low the waistline is more dressy than the conventional model that reaches just to the waist and must denend upon some sort of belt, matching el- , ther the skirt, of which it is the proper j companion piece, or matching the blouse itself, to finish it off. Peplum or coat blouses have a better chance of life during the warm months because in cold weather they are seldom worn except as accompanL ment pieces for suits. In summer a blouse and a separate skirt make up a correct outfit, and if the skirt has a matching coat It Is more often than not merely an "Incidental" and Is swung over the arm. Service Paper. Have you seen the new service paper? It comes in regular letter sheets and in tablets and is just like any other paper except that at the top of each sheet there is a service star or two or three, according to Individual needs.

To drive a tank, handle the guns, and sweep over the enemy trenches, takes strong nerves, good rich blood, a good stomach, liver and kidneys. When the time comes, the man with red blood in his veins "Is up and at It." He has iron nerves for hardships an interest In his work grips him. That's tbe way you feel when you have taken a blood and nerve tonic, made up of Blood root, Golden Seal root. Stone root, Cherry bark, and rolled Into a sugar-coated tablet and sold in sixty-cent vials by almost all druggists for past Üfty years as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This tonic, in liquid or tablet form, is just what you need this spring to give you vim, vigor and vitality. At the fag end of a hard winter, no wonder you feel "run-down," blue, out of sortsTry this "Medical Discovery" of Dr. Pierce's. Don't wait! To-day Is the day to begin ! A little "pep," and yon laugh and live. The best means to oil the machinery of the body, put tone into the liver, kidneys and circulatory system, is to first practice a good house-cleaning. I know of nothing better as a laxative than a vegetable pill made up of Mhyapplo, leaves of aloe and jalap. This is commonly sold by all druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and should be taken at least once a week to clear the twenty-five feet of intestines. You will thus clean the system expel the poisons and keep well. Now is the time to clean house. Give yourself a spring house cloanlng.
