Y• r9'aOM- DAYS' ARE HERE WITH :.'VICTORY GARDEN GFREpNs Hello I or;.eanakers1 This year's .late plant'liig .season left us with more 4eterninatlon than ever to dig °land tend our Victpry Garden. "Interest" on our ground investment will soon fall due, and cool, refreshing garden ;• greens will be ready for use. Dietet- ically speaking, uncooked fruits and ;vegetables—straight from your own garden—bring to lneals a supply of minerals, vitamins and bulk essential to gqod health. Fresh, crisp salads tempt the appe- tite and are easily and economically prepared. If you are using cooked vegetables, cook them -whole, then ,dice, season and serve them in your salad. Salad dressings fall into two main classes, mayonnaise. and French dressing, but with dozens of varia- tions. After selecting your dressing, add seasoning and flavouring. 'Whole wheat bread, thin, dry toast, cheese pastry sticks and u,nsweeteri- ed biscuits are favorite breads to ac- company salads. RECIPES Supper Salad 9 -oz. pkg. elbo* macaroni cooked 2 medium sized onions, minced 4 raw carrots, grated 1 bunch radishes, sliced 4 stalks celery, chopped 1 head chicory.

Whey For 'Pigs milk; rather, it is a carbohyrate feed but containing certain desirable pro teins, minerals and ,vitamins. This fact should be borne in ,Mind when planning the rest of the feed mixture to be used with whey. There are two . main problems con neeted with utilizing whey to the best advantage: 1. What other feeds • are needed with ,whey and the common farm grains to make a well balanced hog feed? 2. How much whey can be advan- tageously fed -to pigs of various ag- es? _ While the common farm grains, such as; barley, wheat and oats, con - fain some protein, they do not tain sufficient of it. Some ' protein - rich feed should be added to the meal mixture when red with whey for best' results: Six to'ten per lent. of a commercial protein •supplement dur- ing the development period, that is, till the pigs reach 110 pounds, n '2r to 4 per cent afterwards has proved satisfactory; the lower percentages will be ;ample if the pigs have the use of a.pasture of clover.or alfalfa. The amount of , whey that a pig. can economically consume may vary considerably; but if fed in• consider- able amount itwill cause a' certain distention of the digestive organs and will make thin -bellied pigs., The prae- tide followed at the Normandin Ex-, perimental Station, says Mr. Adhem- ar Belzile, superintendent, is to feed five pounds -of whej*, in_ threefeeds, per pound of 'ureal during the devel- oping, period, . that is, from weaning until the pigs reached 110 ' pounds. and then, two pounds of whey, -in two feeds, per pound of meal during the finishing period, that is, from 110 pounds to the market weight. At that rate, the pigs consumed an average of 1% gallons of whey per day ,dur- in'g the developing period and 1 gal- lon during the finishing period. No paunchiness or distention of the di- gestive organs was observed, nor thin -bellied pigs produced. When fed at the above rate, the whey compar- ed to :skim -milk resulted in a lower consumption of meal per 100 /pounds of gain, but • produced, !lower gtjade carcasses, and had a relative value of two-thirds bf that' of skim -milk. When a ,protein'' supplement was added ,to the meal mixture, the con, snulption of meal per 0.100 pounds of gain *as further reduced and the quality of the ,carcasses was improv- ed, but the Value of whey decreased as the attlount of iir_otein aupplernent in, :the MealMixture/ 'was fnei:eased, It Is ittigor'tah.t to feed whey 'as Sweet, as ,possible, To this . end, it shtti)id- be takdn front the •'factory as soca affavalla:ble a i"fl kefst 'in Clean! containers, Cabling yeah help. -to keep A b est Itadi (iecoiiaitdsed. *Roy is not . nuitabae Ail'r pig . feeding, Dr. Chase's Ointment for Chofing•.rkm Irritations Eczerrrc Ine'nts as required, hog carcasses of top grade can be`produced.

Hints Rubber rings are a most important part of canning ,equipment. Without them an airtight' seal cannot be ob- tained, Changes in the material•. go- ing into rubber rings have been neet. essitated by the demands of war on available rubber supplies. Properly handled, however, -the war grade rings now being sold give satisfse- tory service. Rubber rings are made in ,two widths for the different types of •seal- ers and it is most important that the correct, rubbers and 'sealers be teans- ,d together — the wide rings, • with, spring -top sealers and the narrpw rings with screw-top sealers. The .. ,V`bckes of rings are plainly marked with the names' of the sealers fee' .which the rubbers are intended. It is preferable to'tise new rings sash year, but if last year's rings are still pliant, have kept their elasticity and there is no sign of leakage when the sealers are tested, the rubbers may be re -used. War -grade rubber rings are some- what less elastic than the 'pre-war type and should not be tested by stretching or bending for they do not readily spring back into shape and may even break. Rubbers are sterilized by covering them with boiling water and allowing . - ahem to stand for five . minutes. In placing them• on the sealers, care roust be taken to be sure that tlev lie perfectly fiat. When sealers are opened, rubber' - seould be washed and dried immedi- ately, then ,laid fiat. -They. shoul - never be hung up as this may causoa them to stretch out of shape est crack. 'New ,,or old, rubber rings should be kept in a dry, fairly cool place away from the light • because - heat, damp and light are all injurious to rubber. +With the need to save all available feed stuffs . and use them, • to the best advantage, the usefulness of whey as a swine feed should not be overlook- ed. This by-product of the dairy in- dustry has been in the past all too often thrown away or wastefully fed. Whey contains most of thecarbo- hydrates and minerals of the original whole milk, as well as about one-fifth of the protein and some of the fat. Whey also contains vitamin B2 in cosiderabie amounts. While the pro tein content of whey is small, it is of •high quality, being' mainly milk albumin., so that while the protein of whey is valuable, it is not a protein rich feed like skim -milk and butter The Cutworm It is the part of wisdom for farm- ers and gardeners to be prepared for the attack of •cutworms early in the season, because they are usually ac- tive and ' feeding even before .most crops are in the ground. Poisoned bran bait has given the most effective control for many years, states the Do- minion Department of Agriculture. The bait is made up in the ratio of 25 pounds of bran, 1 pound Paris green, and about 234 gallons Of water. In making the bait, the dry ingredi- ents should be mixed thoroughly. In adding the Water, use only enough water to make the material 'the •con- sistency of wet sawdust. It must not be made sloppy, but so that it will crumble in the hands and slip through the fingers: easily. Land heavily in- fested nfested .during the former .year •should 'be treated 'before the- plants are set out, This is done by (broadcasting the bait at`''the date o> 15 to 20 pounds per acre a few nights before trans planting. One application 'should .be• sufficient, but, if the cutworms are numerous, a second application should be made ' two or three days after- wards. .Always spread bait in, the evenings; just before dusk, and. choose a warm, still night for this work. If the attack is uneitpeoted and the plants are already in the field, the bait ;should be useg around the base of eachplant, using about one-half teaspoonful per plant. Should one ap- plication not kill all the cutworms, make :a second one two or -three nights later, Molasses, which was formerly used in cutworm baits, is ale longer ,available. "however, - experi- ments have proved .that a sweetener is not necessary and may be omitted. ROPE FACTS Rape 'made froom jute is less dur- able than that made from manila and other bard •fibres, and should be treated aceordingly. Particularly, it should not be left ° exposed "to the weather.
