Margarine, and other butter
substitutes are getting a terrifie
advertising "p 1 a y" nowadays—
and Here I might say that I don't
believe Mrs, Kate Aitken ever
dreams what a shock it has been
to her countless listeners to hear
her sponsoring one of them.
There's a line in Omar Khayatn
that might fit, but I won't quote
it.
However, the producers of but-
ter may have been a bit lax in
the way of publicizing same —
and the following article by
Jeanne Hamm, stolen from the
(Philadelphia) Home Journal, is
well worth reading, clipping and
passing around.

Dairymen's families can help
the dairy industry get back on
its feet by using more butter
themselves — in cooking and on
the table. That's what the wives
of dairymen in the states of Wis-
consin
is-
consin and Washington are
saying.
In fact, the Washington State
Dairy Wives' Association was
organized last November just to
promote wider use of all milk
products. Mrs. Harley A. Brown,
president of the King County
Club, Washington, tells us: "Now
that the price of butter is so
much lower, all of us can afford
to use a lot of it at home. And
we need to urge city people to
use more good, wholesome dairy
products, too,"
The Dairy Wives of Washing-
ton and the University of Wis-
consin sent us some of their best
butter recipes to share with you.
(Wisconsin homemakers tested
and approved the University
recipes.) When we tried these
dishes in our Farm Journal Kit-
chen. we agreed that they cer-
tainly made fine eating.

Nothjng tastes better than fresh
butter on thick slices of home-
made bread. But for variety,
you can fix many kinds of but-
ter spreads for sandwiches or to
eat on crackers. Just watch the
youngsters wolf them down—
with a glass of milk—after a 4-H
meeting! The men will like them,
too, when they stop by the house
for a quick snack. Here are some
spread recipes from the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin:
FLAVORED BUTTER SPREADS
Use 3/4 cup butter as a base
for preparing any of the follow-
ing spreads. Cream or whip but-
ter, add ingredients as indicated,
and mix thoroughly. Store in
tightly covered jar in refrigera-
tor, ready for use.
Cheese Butter: Add 1 to 3
tablespoons Blue, N u w o r 1 d,
Roquefort, or Parmesan cheese
rubbed through a strainer. Sea-
son to taste.
Garlic Butter: Crush 1 to 2
cloves of garlic with 1/2 teaspoon
salt, few grains black pepper, 1/4
teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce,
and a drop of Tabasco sauce
(sauces may be omitted).
Honey Butter: Add 1/4 cup
honey and blend thoroughly.
Nut Butter: Add 2 to 4 table-
spoons finely chopped pecans,
hazel nuts, or almonds. Season

Colourful Land
Silent, Vet Alive
Tibet is a most colourful land.
All the stones and rocks, the
sands and limestone hills, are
red -brown; although the hue is
light it is maintained into the
farthermost distance, not just
close at hand. This clarity of at-
mosphere is almost beyond the
imagination of a European. Peaks
forty miles away seem very close
and are likely to be a ,hundred
miles if they form a background:
One's eye travels across the red -
brown sand to the startling white
of the summit snows, and some-
times these are reflected from
blue or pale green lakes at one's
feet. Wherever there is water
there too will be gay flowers,
but even out in the driest ground
some tough and more venture-
some plant will always offer a
bright new blossom.
Being big and spacious Tibet
seems still and silent which is
one of the country's many para-
doxes, for it is at the same time
a land loud and alive with birds
and animals. Roaming over the
plains are the wild ass, the wild
sheep, and the gazelle. Tiny
mouse hares scuttle in and out
of holes. Marmots, like rabbits
with short legs and ears, pierce
the silence with shrill whistling.
Overhead sings -the lark, itself
invisible, swallowed up whole in
the vast void of the sky.
In summer the scene changes
when the monsoon breaks in
June across the Himalaya. A haze
of damp air spreads across the
red -brown land and beautifies it
anew. Far distant shadows take
on a brilliant, unimaginable blue.
The great peaks, formerly stark
and near, become again remote.
Ever-changing cloud -stapes wrap
them around, They are no long-
er of our world but belong to the
unknown, mysterious world of
the heavens to which mountain-
eers are called.
Although rain accompanies the
monsoon cloud the weather would
not be called foul by British
standards. It brings benefits by
more water for more flowers and
pastures, colour for the sunset-
tings. Across seemingly infertile
tracts, carpets of grass and green
herbs unroll with a magical
swiftness. At all seasons high
winds sweep across the loftiest
summits, whirling powder -snow
from the ridges far and high
through the air. But at night -
tune when the sky is clear, • the
topmost snows flash to the moon,
their white fires glowing on a
vault blue -black. — From "The
Story of Everest," by W. H. Mur-
ray.
DUG OWN GRAVE
IN SPARE TIME
Having attained his 86th birth-
day, Mr, M. Magner, of Limer-
ick, Ireland, decided to pass
away some spare time by digging
his own grave.
The grave was lined with
bricks, and the mortar mixed
with milk; the constructor
thought milk was the best med-
ium for "holding."
During the recent cold spell
Mr. Magner went to buy some
milk, and on the return journey
slipped and fell. He died from
his injuries; later was laid to rest

oys ;'athe Eagle
Three boys have had a victori-
ous fight witli'a large eagle which
carried off their small dog to the
top of a tall tree near Tyson's
Corner, Virginia.
Twelve -year-old Irving Hazen-
ner, and his companions, Frankie
and Wayne, were in the woods
about half a mile north of their
home hunting for flying squir-
rels,
They had several dogs with
them and a puppy, a three-
month -old terrier named Whisk-
ers.
"The puppy was a little way
from us in the woods," Irving
said. "We heard him screaming,
and then the first thing we knew,
we saw the eagle fly up with
him in his claws. We hadn't seen
the eagle before then.
"He took Whiskers up in a tree.
We ran over, but we couldn't
climb the tree, It had no branch-
es near enough to the ground.
But there was a smaller tree next
to it. Frankie climbed up. We
pushed the little tree over to-
wards the big one, and he got
on to the big tree, He climbed
up to the nest and fought the
eagle off and got the puppy
clown."
"The eagle was flying around
Me," said Frankie later, "He was
grabbing my pants and tore
thein. So I hit him, I just hit
him one good one with my list,
He flew off to a branch and sat
there. There was a baby eagle
and two big rabbits there in the
nest, too. I .got the puppy and
climbed down, .I sure was
seared."

Smog May Prevent
Sleeping Sickness
Smog, that choking, murder-
ous curse of our cities to -day,
may soon be hailed in non-
industrial Africa as a great
boon. It is science's best answer
to that age-old pestilence,
sledging sickness.
Artificially reproduced, smog
is the latest weapon in an all-
out attack against the tsetse fly,
chief carrier of sleeping sickness
fatal to African cattle. Smog
will be laid on, a Government
scientist declares, in bomb form
by aircraft. As the insecticidal
smoke generators burst, the
browsing tsetse should be
poisoned,
Field trials in East Africa
will take place shortly. Smog
bombs, I am assured, have one
prime advantage over older fly
control techniques. As they hit
the ground they will discharge
their lethal vapours in rising
clouds, so catching the tsetse
with an effective puff from be-
low.
Hitherto, tsetse swarms have
been sprayed from the air.
Apparently, the flies' backs are
not nearly so vulnerable. At
present this pest makes it im-
possible for the farmers to graze
cattle in some four million
square miles of good African
farmland. If smog can snuff it
out, Africa will become a far
richer agricultural country

A soldier from Brooklyn was
on maneuvers in West Texas. He
strolled out into a nearby mes-

and returned shortly with a
rattlesnake rattle.
"Where did you find it?" asked
one of his pals,
"I got it oil a big wain," the
Brooklynite replied.

During the course of the trial
he was permitted to have his

Perhaps the most piquant
story is that of a doctor who
