Organized Agriculture wook should
bo on tho calendar of every farm homo
in Nebraska. Like tho State Fair, it
affords an opportunity to oxchange
ideas and oxperlonccs with fellow
farmers and homcmnkors from all
parts of tho state and nation. But it
is so much different from tho fa.lr that
every one should nttond both each
year.
For setting tho color in cotton mat
erial the clothing specialists at tho
U. of N. Agricultural Collogo recom
mend tho following: For blue, pink,
rcdK black, nnd most other colors, use
1 cup of salt to ono gallon of boiling
,water in which you are shrinking
your rnntcrial. For blue, cup vin
egar to one gallon of boiling water in
which you nro shrinking your material.

of definite available knowledge on
this, nutrition specialists at tho U. of

raw vegetable or fruit ovory day.
Green leaf vegetables, cabbage, apples
carroty, tomatoes fresh or canned,
oranges or grape fruit may bo used
interchangeably so as' to havo a var
iety of theso raw products. When raw
carrots or cabbage aro shredded fine

As the days grow colder, hot soups
become more popular as an article of
diet. The following suggestions are of
fered by tho food specialists at the
U. of N. Agricultural College. Tho In
gredients of milk soups may be group
ed under four heads: A liquid, a
starchy substance used for thicken
ing, a fatty substance and flavoring.
Tho liquid may bo milk, either whole
or skimmed or a mixture of milk and
one or more of tho following: Meat
stock, cream or vegetable juice includ
ing pulp. Tho starchy substance may
bo flour, bread crumbs or potatoes.
Butter is the best fat for children,
hence buttor should bo used in soups
which are to bo served to children.
Tho proportions aro usually three
fourths of a level tablespoon of flour
and an equal amount of butter to each
cup of" liquid. The folowing reclpo
will makp six servings. For a variety,
other vegetables may bo substituted
for tho peas. 1 can of peas or one qt;
