Quarles.
MILK AS A FOOD.
It Is right that wo should be remind
ed of tho vnluo of -milk In tho diet, to
tiso It to replace more
expensive foodstuffs and
reduce tho food bill.
Skim milk has nenrly all
the; food principles left
in t witli the exception
of tho fat. What is left
has all of the value of
wholo milk for tint tis
sue bulldlng'nni! repair. The remov
al of the fat has reduced tho fuel
value of the milk one-hnlf, but It Is a
chenp food and ono which should be
more generally used.. For crenrn
soups, rice puddings, brend puddings,
cscallopcd dishes of various kinds, as
a drink, nnd to be used In breads, II
has a valuable plucc.
Popovers. Beat two eggs thorough
ly, add gradually seven-eighths of a
cupful of milk, n cupful of Hour, a
hnlf teaspoonful of salt; bent all to
gether two minutes with nn eggbeatcr,
then add a half teaspoonful of melted
butter. If skim milk Is jsed, add
a teaspoonful of melted butter.
Sour Milk Biscuit Sift together n
qunrt of flour, a teaspoonful ench of
soda, salt nnd sugar; cut Into the
Hour two tublespoonfuls encli of lard
and butter nnd use a cupful nnd n
half of sour milk ; tho milk nnd flour
varies somewhat, so that tho milk
should be added to make n soft dough
thnt can be handled. Bake the bis
cuits In a hot oven nnd serve honey
or maple sirup.
The amount of milk which each In
dividual should consumo dnlly Is es
timated at ono quart, tho amount wo
do consumo Is n small glass. If each
housewife would double her milk bill
one month, mnklng wise use of tho
milk In foods, she would find she
would cut her grocery nnd meat bill
quite noticeably.
Parker House Rolls. Take a pint of
milk, threo tnblespoonfuls of short
ening, n teaspoonful of salt, and ono
yenst cake dissolved In a fourth of a
cupful of water. Combine the Ingredi
ents and add flour, beating vigorously
until no more flour can bo ndded.
C6ver nnd. let rise until threo times
Its bulk, cutting It down several times
with n sharp knife, then roll, cut,
sprend half with butter, fold and put
to rise an Inch npn.t. Bake when
light in a hot oven 20 minutes.

RAISE FUNDS FOR HIGHWAYS
Important Saving Effected by Issuing
Good Road Bonds on Deferred
Retirement Plan.
(From tho Unltod States Department of
Agriculture.)
Pcoplo of n county Intending to
rnlso funds for highway Improvement
would do well to consider tho ndvan
tnges to them of tho deferred serial
plan over tho ordinary sinking-fund
plan of retiring long-term bonds. Un
der tho serial plan, n certain amount
of bonds Is retired ench year nnd tho
bonds so retired censo to be nn In
terest chargo on tho community. Un
der tho sinking-fund plan none of tho
bonds Is retlrublo until tho cud of n
definite period, nnd tho entire sum
raised bears Interest for tho ontlra
llfo of tho bond. Tho county, there
fore, pays Interest on tho money so
borrowed and In addition sets aside
each year ns u sinking fund an nmnunt
sufficient to rctlro nil tho bonds when
they become duo. Tho sinking fund
Is deposited with banks and earns
some interest. This interest ordi
narily Is only threo per cent, whereas
tho county has to. pay flvo or sir pet
cent to its bondholders. Tho serial
plan Is n much cheaper method of
raising monoy for road Improvement,
oven when tho sinking fund cams In
terest ns high as four per cent, and
in the-opinion of the rond specialists
of tho department should bo utilized
whenever It Is posslblo to market so
rial bonds.
In a study of tho rond bond Issues
of several counties, J. B. Penny
backer anil M. O. Eldrldgo of tho divi
sion of rond economics, olllcu of public
roads and rural engineering, found
that the scrJnl plan, If It had been
adopted by several counties, would
havo saved tho taxpayers In one
county $1!3 1,209, In nnothcr county
$80,702, nnd In a third county $05,307
over tho other plan with a sinking
fund beurlng interest nt threo pel
cent. With a -sinking fund earn
ing four per cent, tho saving
would hnvo run ns high as $72,286
In ono of these counties. Theso con
clusions appear In tho recently pub
lished Department Bulletin 303, Eco
nomic Surveys of County Illghwny Im
provement. The following concroto oxnmplos
nrc taken from this bulletin:
"In Dnllos County, Ala., tho bonds
amounted to $.150,000, pnyablo In 0
years nt five per cent. Assuming tho
sinking fund to benr threo per cent in
terest, ns set forth In tho chapter on
Dallas county, tho total financial bur
den to tho county for interest nnd tho
liquidation of tho bonds during tho
ao-yenr period will bo $7-15,702.80. An
equul amount of bonds nt tho snmo
rnto of Interest, If Issued under tho
doferred serlnl bond method, with tho
first bonds pnynblo Bis years from tho
(Into of lssiltinco and an equal amount
pnyablo each year thereafter for 24
years, would cost tho county at tho
end of 30 years $005,000, or a differ
ence, ns compared with tho sinking
fund method, of $80,702. If four per
cent could ho realized on tho sinking
fund Instead of three per cent, tho
saving for tho deferred serial plan
over the sinking-fund plan would still
bo $17,210.
"Laudcrdnlo county, Mississippi,
which Issued $500,000 of flvo and fivo
nnd one-hnlf per cent bonds, adopt
ed tho deferred serlnl-hond method,
with tho first payment coming 11 years
from tho date of lssuo und tho last
payment 25 years. If tho county had
Issued the bonds on tho C-25-yenr basis
tho cost would havo been $000,875, as
compared with tho cost of tho basis
adopted of $072,2.12, or a dlffcrcnco
of $05,307."
Even In tho caso of n small lssuo
tho ndvantago of tho serial plun Is
illustrated In Dinwiddle County, Vir
ginia. Tills county issued $105,000 of
flvo und six per cent bonds, pnyablo In
30 years, but tho bonds nro cullnblo
after 20 years. Assuming thnt they
will ho retired at tho end of 25 years
on tho sinking-fund plan, with inter
est on sinking fund at four per cent,
tho total cost would bo $218,031,
whereas If they hnd adopted tho 0-25-year
serial method tho cost would bo
$201,100, or a dlffcrcnco of $10,031.

Land Values Sure to Advance
Because of Increasing De
mand for Farm Products. '
Tho cry from countries abroad for
moro of tho necessaries of life is ncuto
today; tomorrow It will bo still moro
Insistent, and there will bo no letup
nfter tho war. This Is tho day for
tht farmer, tho dny thnt he Is com
ing Into his own. lie is gradually
becoming tho dlctntor ns It becomes
more apparent thnt upon his Indus
try depends tho great problem or
feeding n groat world. The farmer of
Canndn and the United States has It
within himself to hold the position that
stress of circumstances has lifted him
Into today. Tho conditions abroad aro
such that tho utmost dependence will
rest upon tho farmers of this continent
for soino tlmo nfter tho war, nnd for
this reason thcro is, no hesitation In
making tho statement thnt war's de
mands are, and for u long tlmo will be,
inexhaustible, nnd tho claims that will
bo mndo upon tho soli will with diffi
culty bo met. Thcro nro today 25,000,
000 men In the fighting ranks In tho
old world. The best of authority gives
75 per cent and over ns having been
drnwn from the farms. There, is there
fore nenrly 70 per cent of tho lnnd for
merly tilled now being unworked.
Much of this lnnd Is todny In n devas
tated condition and if tho war should
end tomorrow It will tako years to
bring It back to its former producing
capacity.
Instead of tho farmer producer pro
ducing, ho hns becomo n consumer,
mnklng tho strain upon those who hnvo
been left to do tho farming n very dif
ficult one. Thcro may ho ngltntton ns
to tho high cost of living, und doubtless
thcro Is reason for It In many cases.
Tho middleman may boost the prices,
combines may organize to clovnto tho
cost, but ono cannot got nwny from tho
fact thnt tho demand regulates tho
Btipply, nnd tho supply regulates tho
price. The prlco of wheat In fact, nil
grains ns well ns cattle, will rcmnln
high for some tlmo, nnd tho low prices
thnt hnvo prevailed will not como
again for somo time.
' After tho wnr tho demand for cattle,
not nloho for beef, but for Btock pur
poses, to replenish tho exhausted herds
of Europe, will bo keen. Farm educa
tors and advisers aro telling you to
prepare for this emergency. How much
better It can bo dono on tho low-priced
lands of today, on lands that cost from
ten to twenty dollars per ncro, than It
can on two and threo hundrcd-dollnr-nn-ncro
land. Tho lands of Western
Canada meet all the requirements.
They aro productlvo In overy senso of
tho word. Tho best of grasses can bo
grown with nbundant yields and tho
grain can bo produced from theso soils
thnt bents tho world, nnd tho snmo may
bo said of cattlo and horses. Tho cli
mate is all that Is required.
Thoso who aro competent to Judge
clulrii thnt lm d prices will 'rise In valuo
from twenty iO fifty per cent. This Is
looked for In Western Canada, whero
lauds aro decidedly chenp today, and
thoso who nro fortuhnto enough to se
cure now will rcallzo wonderfully by
means of such an Investment. Tho
land that the Dominion Government Is
giving uway ns free homesteads in tho
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta aro of a high class; they
aro abundant In overy constituent that
goes to mako tho, most productlvo
soils. Tho yields of wheat, oats and
barley that havo been grown on these
lands gives tho best ovldcnco of their
productiveness, und when backed up
by tho experience of tho thousands oJC
settlers from tho United States who
huvo worked them nnd becomo wealthy
upon them, llttlo moro should bo re
quired to convince thoso who nro seek
ing a home, even with limited means,
that nowhero can thoy seenro anything
that will better equip thcin to becomo
ono of tho army of Industry to assist
In taking cure of tho problem of feed
ing tho world. These lands aro free;
but to thoso who dcslro larger holdings
