If you happen to have a whole
stale loaf left over here is a las-
einating way to use it. Out off all
the 'crust, put it on a tin, andeset
in the oven to dry and brown,. 'When
His alight, golden brown lay it on
the molding board and /crush fine,
Then cut the crustIess loaf into piec-
es one inch thick and two or three
inches long; beat two eggs very
light, add two cups- of sweet milk
and a pinch of salt, dip the pieces
of bread -in the mixture, roll ,in
the fine bread 'crumbs, and diem
them into hot lard. When they are
fried a nice brown put them .on a
hot dish and sprinkle thickly, with
sugar and a little fine cinnamon.
A really delicioes pudding can be
made in the fp/lowing manner:
Take rather thick slices of bread
from which the crust is trimmed.
Butter these slices on both sides.
Heat a can of rather tart red or
purple plums, put a, layer of fruit
in this bottom of a pudding dish,
then a layer of bread' and butter,
and continue until the dish is filled.
Set it in the oven for five minutes
to get heated elhrough. Then re-
move it from the overt, oover with
a plate'put a weight on it, and set
where it will become thoroughly
cold. Eet it with cream and sugar.
Tart cherries may be used in piece
of plums, or blackberries, and there
should be plenty of juice, so that
the beead may be. saturated.
Ways of CoOking Rhubitrin
Rhubarb is one "of the spring's
blessings. Its list of health -giving
possibilities is almost endless and
its advocates as the giver of beauty
are numbered by seores.
Pies and tarts of rhubarb are old
favorites. There is a good deal of
difficulty experienced • in making
them, because Of the feet that rhu-
barb is generally so juicy that it
soaks the under crust. To lessen
the amount of juice do not use any
water in the preparation of the rhuL
barb. Out the stalks after they are
washed, dried and skinned half-
inch lengths, osiver them with su-
gar and put them in the cruet.
There can be two crusta or the top
of the pie can be barred with pas -
When making- rhubarb tarts pre-
pare the rhubarb' and the crusts
separately. Bake crisp crusts in
muffin rings. Wash, dry and 'skin
rhubarb stalks, mit them in 'inch
pieces and stew them slowly until
perfect/sr tender with a very little
water. Add sugar when they are
taken from the stove while they are
still hot. Chill the rhubarb and at
the last minute put it into the
crusts.
Rhubarb cobb/er, made withaut
an under crust, of course is a de-
licious luncheon' dish for the devotee
of rhubarb, To make it prepare a
batter of a cupful of sour milk, a
half -teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in a little cold water aelded to the
milk, a tablespoonful of butter and
enough. flour to make a medium
batter. Put rhubarb, cut in short
lengths, in a pudding dish and su-
gar it generously. Then pour over
it the batter. Bake it in a moderate
oven. Serve it hot. with, boiled cus-
tard or wager and creme.
Rhubarb pudding, which is a fa-
vorite with children, is made on
the order of apple brown betty. To
make' it cut theerhitherb in pieces,
put a layer of it its a pudding dish,
cover it with sugar and then a lay-
er of bread and butter. Alternate
layers of fruit und. bread until the
dish isefilled. Cover it and bake it
half an hoiir, remove the cover and
hake ten minutes longer. Serve
with a hot sauce of any. desired fla-

LTNTIL a few years ago farmers considered concrete a rather
mysterious material, that could be used successfully only by
experts. They knew that upon the quality of -the cement
depended much of the succe.ss of concrete work. They had no
means of testing cement, such as big contractors employ, and so Could
not be sure of its quality.
Yet the farmer needed concrete.
He was kept from using this best and most economical of materials by
1. Lack of knowledge of how to mix and place concrete.
2. Lack of a brand of cement upon the quality of which he
could absolutely rely.
Canada. Cement
has suppliedboth these re:phew:eras.
- We employed men to make a thorough investigation of the farme.r's
requirements; to find out where and how' he.eould use coricrete with '
profit to himself; to discover all problems be might come across and, to
solve them, This investigation was' expensive. But when it Was
completed we had the/naterial for our campaign to show the fanner
how and where to use concrete,:and we printed a book, "'What the
Farmer Can di, With Concrete;' for free'distrihution. That book
makes 'every farmer who reads it a concrete expert, as faros his needs
• Ore -concerned., He finds that there is nothing mysteiious about con-
crete --that a few simple rules supply a 11. the -knowledge 'required.
At the same time ,we met the farmers' second 'objection ---inability-
_ ,
test. the quality et cement—by producing cement of a quality that
does not need to be tested.
