USES FOR DIFFERENT FOWLS
Poultry, Other Than Chickens, Have
Important Place in Increasing
Needed Food Supply.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The hen." first and last. Is the main
dependence for Increasing the supply
of white meat and eggs, but she re
quires the aid of turkeys, guineas,
geese, and ducks, just as. on a dairy
farm, the cow requires the aid of pigs,
sheep, and goats. The setting of the
standard at 100 hens per farm Is safe,
but no such arbitrary standard can
be set for the other kinds of poultry.
The small farm, with grain fields of
neighboring farms In proximity to the
barn and dooryard, would, perhaps, be
better without turkeys." The farm
through which no streams run and
which has no large pond would per
haps be better without ducks. But
the circumscribed farm on which tur
keys would be a disadvantage may be
well supplied with streams and ponds
so that ducks would be unusually
profitable, and the farm that has no
streams and ponds may have large
range for turkeys. Each farm family
will have to determine for itself what
poultry -an be profitably kept in ad
dition to 100 hens, bearing in mind
always that an adequate number
should be kept of all the kinds for
which free range can be found.
Turkeys, ranging farther . afield,
prey upon Insect forms that escape
the hens. From the time the young
are old enough to begin foraging for
themselves, perhaps early in June, un
til near frost, "turkeys take the bulk
of their food from field insects, de
vouring millions of grasshoppers and
other injurious forms in meadow and
pasture. In regions where wooded
areas are still fairly extensive, mast
is an Important item in the diet of
the turkey. When the Insect stores be
gin to fail, the mast larders are be
ginning to be filled. Feeding on
acorns, chestnuts, beech nuts, and the
like, turkeys will go a long way toward
fattening themselves for the Thanks
giving or Christmas market and will
not require much feeding of corn or
other grain to finishthem. Generally
speaking, turkeys will require a larger
feeding of grain than chickens to fit
them for market, but, as they utilize
forms of waste that hens and their
broods would not reach, the keeping
of a fair number of turkeys Is good
economy.
Guinea fowls utilize still other kinds
of waste that would .escape both hens
and turkeys. Taking a wider range
than chickens and yet not quite so
wide as turkeys, keeping largely to
thickets and weed patches, and com
mitting fewer depredations against
field and garden than either chickens
or turkeys, requiring little feeding at
any time, being prolific layers, during
their season of eggs that are thought
by many to have a richer and finer
flavor even than hen eggs, the guinea
fowl is an economic necessity on any
farm where a serious effort is made to
convert all waste Into meat and eggs.
The one kind of poultry of question
able economic status on farms Is the
pigeon. Almost exclusively a grain
eater, the pigeon renders no notable
service as a conserver of waste, ex
cept it might be shattered grain in the
fields, and that in large measure would
be taken up by other poultry and by
pigs.

MANY OF FRUITS ARE DRIED
Over-Sweetening of Tea and Coffee Is
One of Our Greatest Faults Home
Demonstration Agents Use
Substitutes in Recipes.
Instead of letting the sugar short
age bother her, the resourceful house
wife Is bending all efforts to learn the
best ways of using less sugar In her
cooking and preserving and of can
ning without it or with sugar substi
tutes. She is drying many of the
fruits; she is learning to put up fruit
juices and butters and to make sirups
at home from sugar beets, quinces and
apples. She is substituting corn sirup,
molasses, maple sirup, and honey for
sugar In her canning and general cook
ing, and she Is making sugarless can
dies, fruit pastes and confections. Bul
letins telling how to carry out these
methods may be had free on applica
tion to the United States department
of agriculture.
Sugar saving not only means cutting
down on consumption, but" it also
means preventing waste. Americans
have allowed their fondness for sugar
to increase to the point where it has
passed extravagance and become ac
tual waste. Over-sweetening of tea
and coffee is one of our great faults.
More than this, too often a good part
of the sugar is not dissolved and is
left in the bottom of the cup to be
thrown away. Every housewife should
enforce the rule of "one teaspoonful
to the cupful or none at all." The
children as well as the grownups must
be willing to do without some of the
sweet things they want and every one
must be satisfied with much smaller
amounts of sweetening in general
cooking.
Serve fresh fruits without sugar in
stead of sweet puddings; have salads
often in place of desserts; use sweet
dried fruits like dates, raisins or figs
with the breakfast cereals, or a little
sirup in place of sugar. Use cake
sparingly and make it from recipes
that call for molasses or eirups in
stead of frosting spread it with a
little jam, fruit butter, or paste.
Canning Without Sugar.
Fruits canned without sugar keep
perfectly but will not have the fine
color and flavor which they would
have If packed In sirup. They are very
good, however, when used in salads,
desserts, pie fillings, ices and In fruit
punches. Fruit juices take no sugar
and their uses are just as varied dur
ing the winter months as are the
fruits put up unsweetened. In this
way, the juices are kept available for
jelly-making at a future time when
sugar may be more plentiful.
ilany home demonstration agents
have already substituted sirups suc
cessfully for sugar In their recipes for
canning and preserving. Very satis
factory results may be secured if when
one pound of sugar is called for In a
recipe two-thirds of a pound of corn
sirup is used and one-third of a pound
of sugar. Where sorghum and cane
sirups are used, without first clarify
ing the sirups the product will be
darker. These sirups, also, Impart a
flavor which destroys the natural fruit

sirup is reduced one-quarter cupful
for each cupful of honey.
The following are some of the best
recipes used by the agents:
Blackberry Jam.
3 pounds crushed blackberries.
?t pound New Orleans molasses or sor
ghum. pound sugar.
Cook all together, stirring carefully
until it gives a good jelly test. Pack
hot into hot jars and seal.
Peach Jam.
2 pounds peaches.
M cupful peach Juice.
teaspoonful allspice.
1 cupful corn Eirup.
1 cupful sugar.
2 teaspoonfuls broken stick cinnamon.
1 teaspoonful cloves.
1 inch ginger root.
Tie spices in cheesecloth bag and
cook all together until bright and clear.
Pack hot Into hot jars and seal at
once.
Apple Pulp and Corn Sirup.
Take one quart of apple pulp, from
which the juice has been extracted for
jelly making, and cook it with one cup
ful of corn sirup until the mass
brightens. Pack while hot in hot jars
and seal at once.
Grape Paste.
Add one cupful of corn sirup to two
cupfuls of grape pulp from which juice
has been extracted for jelly making.
Cook together until the mass is rath
er dry, then turn out on an oiled sur
face and place where a current of air
will pass over it. Dry for two or three
days. Cut into squares or roll and slica.
Pack in glass jars, tin boxes or paraffin-covered
containers.
Apple paste may be made In th
same way.
Left-Over Cereals.
Remnants of cereal breakfast foods
may often be utilized to make pala
table dishes, to thicken soups or other
foods, and in similar ways. Small
quantities of cooked cereal left over
from a meal can be molded in cups
and 'reheated for later use by setting
the cups in boiling water. Another
way to economize cereal mushes is to
add hot water to any mush left over
so as to make It very thin. It can
then easily be added to a new supply.
The practice of frying the left-overs of
boiled hominy or of cornmeal mush
Is as old as the settlement of this
country, and the nursery song about
the "bag pudding the queen did make"
from King Arthur's barley meal shows
us that for centuries other cereal pud
dings have been treated in the same
way. In oatmeal oysters, left-over'
cereal is dipped in eggs and crumbs
and fried. Left-over rice and other
cereals are commonly used In cro
quettes and puddings.
Fruits for Children.
Fruits should be served In some
form to children at least once a day.
Fruit juices and the pulp of cooked
fruit, baked apples and pears, and
stewed prunes are safest. "Whether
the skins should be given depends part
ly on the age and health of the child
and partly on the way the fruit is pre
pared. If the skins are very tender,
they are not likely to cause trouble,
except with very, young children.
When apples and pears are baked the
skins can be made tender by frequent
basting.
I WHY SUGAR IS SHORT.
There is a greater shortage of
both the sugar-cane and sugar
beet crops than was expected
in the early part of the season.
At no time since the beginning
of the war has there been a nor
mal output of sugar because of
the devastation of foreign sugar
beet fields. There has been a
serious loss of sugar at eea due
to the submarine warfare. The
government requires a generous
supply to meet the needs of the
men In the service.
There will be little time on the farm
this year to listen to agents.
Don't forget that corn can "be cul
tivated much more easily and suc
cessfully before It Is planted v and be
fore It comes, through the ground than
is possible afterwards.
The cabbage worm is one of those
persistent pests that comes early and
stays late. Its work can be stopped
by spraying the plants with a tobacco
and soaDsuds solution.
