SOUR MILK VERY
USEFUL AS FOOD
Has Some Food It Originally Had
Because It Is Source of Lime

LACTIC ACID IS HEALTHFUL
Clabber la Reliahed as Refreshing and
Wholesome by Many People, Espe

“Accidents will happen in the best
regulated families.” In spite of the
most careful protection from dust,
(lies, or exposure to the sun, milk oc
casionally turns sour in the refriger
ator during the hottest months. It
may be that there is more left-over
milk than usual, or that the Ice sup
ply Is low, or that heat or thunder
have affected the milk. Sour milk,
nevertheless, has the same food value
as It had originally, specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul
ture say, because it Is still a source
of lime for bone building, of protein
for tissue repair.
Lactic Acid Considered Healthful.
The bacteria which have caused
souring are not necessarily harmful,
If the milk was properly cared for,
and the effect of those which caused
the development of the lactic acid in
the milk is thought by some to be
beneficial. Many who cannot get but
termilk to drink like to churn thick,
freshly soured milk with an egg beat
er tilt the curds are broken up into
yie particles, and use U in the same
way. . T.
Clabber —the coagulated, semiliquid
state of fresh sour milk —is relished
"as refreshing and wholesome by many
people, especially If served with sugar
and sweet cream. The addition of
maple sirup, honey, orange marmalade,
or other preserves to clabbered cream
makes a delicious dessert. An excel-

Bour cream, whipped and sweetened,
with nuts added. Whipped sour cream
1b often added to mayonnaise salud
dressing for fruit salads. .
No housewife needs to be told that
good gingerbread can be made witli
sour milk, ns well as corn breads of
various kinds. In most recipes where
sour milk is used as a leaven with
soda, fewer eggs are called for. Very
good pancakes nnd combrend can be
made with sour milk, omitting eggs
entirely. Farmers’ Bulletin 505, Corn
Meal as a Food nnd Ways of Using
It, gives no less than nine recipes call
ing for sour milk. Among them is
this easy wuy of making Boston Brown
Bread:
Boston Brown Broad.
I cupful corn meal. 1 teaspoonful salt.
1 cupful rye meal. 94 cupful molasses.
1 cupful* graham 2 cupfuls sour milk,
flour. or 194 cupfuls sweet
196 teas poonfula milk,
soda.
Mix and sift the dry Ingredients
and add the molasses and milk. Bent
thoroughly and steam 3V6 hours In
well-buttered, covered molds. One
pound baking pow’der tins are satis
factory. Remove the covers nnd bake
the bread long enough to dry the top.
This may be made also with IVi
cupfuls coni meal and rye meal nnd no
graham flour. A cupful of seeded and
shredded raisins or prunes or a cupful
of currants may be added.
This serves eight people.
If there is only a very little sour milk
on hand, why not make some cookies?
They may be made with corn meal.
Oatmeal cookies are also excellent.
Corn-Meal Cookies.
94 cupful fat. 2 cupfuls corn meal.
96 cupful corn 96 teaspoon ful soda.

6 tablespoonfuls sour mlllc.
Combine the melted fnt, sirup, mo
lasses, beaten egg, and sour milk. Sift
together the corn meal, soda, and flour.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry
Ingredients. Drop from a tenspoon
into a greased pan and bake 35 min
utes in a moderate oven. This recipe
makes 55 to 00 cookies 2 inches in
diameter.
Sour milk or buttermilk and baking
soda may frequently be substituted
where the recipe calls for sweet milk.
In place of one teaspoonful of baking
powder a scant half teaspoonful of
soda Is used to each cupful of sour
milk. Chocolate cake Is particularly
good when this substitution is made.

VINEGAR USEFUL IN
VEGETABLE CANNING
Time of Processing May Be
Somewhat Reduced.
Two Years of Experimental Work on
Subject Made by Home Economies
Kitchen—Much Corn Reported
Spoiled La it Year.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A little vinegar added to beans,
corn, peas, asparagus, or spinach
when canned by the water-bath meth
od, will add materially in the reduc
tion of loss by spoilage. Moreover, the
time of processing these vegetables
may be somewhat reduced when a
sufficient amount of acid Jw used, the
home economics kitchen of the United
States Department of Agriculture re
ports after two years of experimental
work on the subject.
In certain sections of the country
In 1019 and 1020 canned sweet corn
<llcl not keep well, whether processed
continuously or intermittently. In the
home economics kitchen quart cons of
processed for less than six hours
continuously spoiled, while others
canned nt the same time, with the
addition of four tablespoons of vinegar
to one qunrt, did not spoil either year,
although given only two hours process
ing. If only three tnhlespoonfuls of
vinegar ore used, process four hours;
two or three tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice to a quart have equally good re
sults when processed three hours.
Corn should nlwn.vs be boiling hot
when packed Into the Jar.
With spinach and string beans the
ndffitlojn of two tnhlespoonfuls of the
acid proved equally effective In reduc
ing spoilage. Vinegnr or lemon Juice
in the small nmounts used modifies
to some degree the natural flavor of
the vegetable, hut the acid taste Is
not objectionable to most persons.
Moreover, much of the acid taste can
he washed off before the vegetables
are served. Experiments with vinegnr
and other acids in canning vegetables
will be continued In the kitchen next
year.
FRESH FRUIT IS EXCELLENT
It Supplies Some Sugar and the Im
portant Mineral Matters, Mild
Acide and Vitamines.
Fruit is food. It supplies some sugar
and the Important mineral matters,
mild fruit acids, and vitamines, say
experts in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, office of home
economics. These food substances
help to keep the body in good health
and to prevent constipation.
Use fresh fruit whenever possible
nnd can the surplus.' Apples, pears,
plums, peaches, cherries, oranges,
grapefruit, grapes, hnnanns, avocados,
berries—the list is very long. Some
where in the United Stntes some of
them are always In season, nnd some
are In market everywhere much of
the time.
Use dried fruits, either home dried
or those on sale almost everywhere.
Soak prunes, dried apples, dried nprl
cots In water overnight nnd cook them
long enough to make them tender.
Use dates, figs, or raisins. These
nre very good added to breakfast ce
renl 10 minutes before taking It from
the stove.

COLORADO NEWS NOTES.
Record-breaking crops of both wheat
and corn for Colorado and somewhat
better than average production of most
of the less Important crops, are the
outstanding features in the state-fed
eral crop report for July, bused upon
the conditions of ull crops on July 1,
Just issued by the Colorado Co-opera
tive Crop Reporting Service. The con
dition of winter wheat on July 1 was
89 per cent of normal, the same ns that
for June and for July 1 last year, but
seven points above the ten-year aver
age. Revised acreage figures, based
upon nearly complete reports from
county assessors, place the urea of
winter wheat left for harvest at 1,400,-
000 acres, compared with 1.090 000
acres harvested In 1920 and 1,0112,000
acres returned by the census bureau
in 1919. If condition at liurvest time
is tlie same as that on July 1 the pro
duction will lie about 27,312,000 bush
els, compared with a final estimate of
19,841,000 bushels last year and 13,-
675,000 bushels reported by the cen
sus bureau for 1919.
Organization of a new north-and
south highway lias been completed at
Yuma. Articles of Incorporation were
completed and the name of the North
Star Higliwuy Association of Colorado
was adopted at n convention belli at
Yuma, Colo., and attended by more
than 100 delegates from the towns
along the route. The present highway
runs from Cheyenne Wells, Colo., to
Beaverton, Stratton, Joes, Kirk, Yuma,
Bryant, Ilaxtun, Sedgwick, and then
to Chappei, Neb. From the enthusi
asm shown and the prominent men of
eastern Colorado present, the highway
is assured of a wonderful success. It
will pass through the richest'and best
»f eastern Colorado agricultural coun
try, and form a real link to the pro
posed Gulf-Canadian highway.
A total of $375,340.72 will be distrib
uted among the public schools of the
state of Colorado during the next three
or four weeks. Tills sum represents
the earnings of the state permanent
school fund, and the revenue of the
state land board during the last six
months from leases on public lands.
Distribution of the money will lie made
through Katherine M. Craig, state su
perintendent of public instruction, on
a basis of school population. On Jan
uary 1 $357,478.97 was divided among
the sixty-three counties in the state.
Deatli was cheated out of a victim
when Hugh Quick, a Colorado Springs
Boy Scout, saved a companion from

Tlie Western Light and Power Com
pany have voluntarily put an order
into effect reducing street car rates
in Boulder from 10 cents to 7% cents
a ride. Less than four mouths ago
they were granted permission to raise
tlie fare from 5 cents to 10 cents. The
company found that the higher rate
reduced the travel to such an extent
that instead of profiting by tlie raise
tlie company lost.
The old settlers of the Arkansas val
ley will hold their atmuul picnic at tlie
fair grounds of the Arkansas Valley
Fair Association, in Pueblo, August 1,

history of the organization, which is
made up of people who have made tlie
valley their home for twenty or munj
years.

The Seibert Kan red Wheat Growers
Association lias been organized at Sei
bert to take charge of the sale of the
immense crop of Kanred wheat now

The general crops summary received
by the bureau of markets and crop es
timates of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture indicates a gen
eral reduction of tlie potato crop
throughout virtually all of the country,
dtie to light rainfall. Colorado is in a
favored position, however, in tills re
spect, as the potato crop in tills state
is expected to be one of tlie largest In
history. A survey of the Colorado
potato crop, as it stands to-day, indi
cates an acreage of approximately
85,000, as compared to last year’s acre
age, which was only 72,000.
