In j many casss in the country lanruupgrow wheat and in many iow?>: wheat can be purchased for a moder a Us price. Even in cities it can often be bought for o cents a pound.

As a result it has been found possible to l rind whole wheat in an ordinary t offee mill fine enough for u. e as a b?\ ak.'ast cereal and even fine enough for u.-c in bread making. I The wheat first should he \\a hed | until the wash water is clear and then spread on a cloth to he? drip 1 before it is ground. 4 No claim in made that such homemade meals and flours are superior in flavor, appearance, or wholesomei ess to the higher-priced preparations on the niaikct; ;t is merely suggested that, they make iow-priccd and palatal) e ! foods which give a pleasing variety I to the diet. The grinding, of course, is rather time-consuming, and no family, u less very hard pressed, would wish j to use these products as its o ly ce real foods. They have some very | great advantages, however. The;, } contain all the nourishment of ti e > original wheat. They are more lax- j utivo than white flour and thai % many of the common breakfast foods on the market. Among cereal food ' they are relatively rich in miner: matters and in growth-pro;, oting i i J.. 41 aim uuuy-reguittnng ?uusi?mvuo. j These last are prseent in many | foods, but in such small amounts ! that they have until recently ccapcd'. discovery. They are now thought to , play an important part in growtn and in keeping people well. They ( are found in milk and eggs, fruits j and green vegetables, and in the out- j or portions of cereal grains. If the 1 diet is very limited in variety the j whole grain products may be needed j to supply these substances. If, on J the other hand, it is generously va- | ried the kind of grain products so- | lected becomes a matter of individ- j ual preference, so far as these sub- i stances are concerned. Grain prod- j ucts of all sorts, in addition to being i economically very important, iv f* very useful and valuable foodO worthy of the place they occupy in j our daily fare. I Home-ground breakfast food, like j all coarse cereal preparations, re-1 quires long cooking. It always should1 be cooked at least three hours and is better if cooked all day or night, i This fact must be taken into consid-1 # i eration in counting its cost. There are many farm households, however.! ivtoro id Ironf all fKn tiinn *11 I f? IIVAU A?&V AO V Mil l/I I I ?V Ml j winter, and in these households wheat can be cooked a lone time' % I without adding to its cost. The long-1 or it is cooked, the better. A fireless cooker may be used for the pur- J pose. The oven is a convenient place for cooking coarse cereal mushes. They' may be prepared in a covered crock, just as are beans, or they may be cooked on top of the stove. In this ' case a double boiter is convenient, for in it they are not likely to be burned. An ordinray kettle, howover, will do. /Soaking for several, hours will shorten the time of cook-1 ing. ^ | Great care should be taken in salting home-ground wheat. This is true y necessary in the case of this one. 1 which is not so delicate in flavor as i ire many of the more expensive cc- 1 eal preparations. In cooking any 1 :ereal mush it is well to allow a lave' i caspoonful of salt for each cupfu l >f water fused. This suits the taste >f most people and at least make' < i good starting point. When the de- i iired allowance of salt is determined 1 t always should be carefully mcas- i ired. For a quart of salted wat^r i illew one cupful of coarsely ground < wheat. This may be put into cold >v hot water. If the water is cold 2 t should be heated gradually afto: ' he cereal is added. Under these circumstances no stirring is necessary it any time unless a very large quan ;ity of cereal is used. In this case :he weight of the upper portion lends to cause the lower parts to become lumpy, and some stirring is reeded. If the cereal is put into hot , water 4ho mivt.ni"> must he stored until it has thickened a little; after :hat no stirring is necessary.
