When You Move
Into Your Home—
Be very certain that you have
insurance to cover both your
house and its contents. It is
folly to risk the chances of fire,
or the loss of all your pos
sessions, when you can secure
complete and dependable pro
tection.
Let us explain to you the
moderate cost of carefully
written policies that will cover
you against every possible loss.

Hints For Sunday
Roasts Are Given
There is no doubt that the most
popular meat for Sunday dinner is
some kind of roast. It offers a
pleasant change from the more
quickly prepared meats and there
is the possibility of having some
left for another meal. Beef, pork,
veal, and lamb all offer excellent
roasts. Below are given some un
usual roasts for these four kinds
of ineats, presented by Miss Inez
S. Willson, home economist of the
National Live Stock and Meat Bo
ard.
Roast Beef With Browned Pears
Select a two or three-rib stand
ing roast. Wipe off with a damp
cloth. Rub with salt, pepper, and
flour. Place the roast fat side up
in an open pan without any water.
Sear the meat in a hot oven (500
degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 to 30
minutes, then reduce the. tempera
ture to about 300 degrees Fahren
heit, and continue cooking, allow
ing about 25 minutes to the pound.
When nearly done, place pears
which have been drained and light
ly dipped in flour in the pan
around the roast. Brown the pears
nicely. Place around the roast as
a garnish. Sprinkle with paprika.
Crown Roast of Pork
1 crown of pork
Salt pork
Salt and pepper.
Have the crown prepared at the
market. Wrap the end of each rib
with a slice of salt pork. Roast
just as any pork roast, allowing
thirty minutes to the pound. Re
move the salt pork from the rib
ends and garnish with large cran
berries or a paper frill. Fill center
of the crown with small boiled on
ions. Garnish the platter with
cinnamon apples.
Stuffed Shoulder of Veal
3 to 4 pounds shoulder of veal
1 cup water
3 teaspoons salt
1 1-2 cups stuffing
3 tablespoons flour
11-4 teaspoons pepper
4 tabelspoons butter or bacon
drippings.
Have the shoulder boned. Wipe
with a clean damp cloth and stuff
with the stuffing; Tie or skewer.
Spread with the fat, then sprinkle
with seasoning and flour. Place in
a roaster and sear 15 minutes in a
hot oven (525 degrees Fahrenheit).
Add 1 'cup of water. Reduce the
heat to 260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cover roaster and cook slowly, al
lowing 20 minutes to the pound.
Braised Breast of Lamb
Wipe breast of lamb with clean
damp cldth and rub with salt, pep
per, and flour. Put-in roasting
pan and sear on all sides. Add 1
carrot, 1 onion, 1 stalk celery, cut
in pieces, 1 clove garlic, a few pep
percorns, and 2 cups boiling water.
Bake in a moderate oven (350 de
grees Fahrenheit) until tender. Al
low 15 minutes to the pound. Add
boiling water as needed. Remove
meat from pan and keep hot.
To 4 tablespoons fat in the
roasting pan, add 6 tablespoons
flour and stir ulfUl well blended.
Add 3 cups boilinjg water or stock
and stir until thickened. Saute
1-2 pound sliced mushrooms fresh
or canned in butter and add to the
sauce with 3-4 cup sliced stuffed
olives. Season more, if necessary.
Serve with the meat.
Control By Sl, vation
Control of crop dis es caused
by eelworms, or nemat' es, is very
difficult because the s il around
infested plants is a sou ce of con
tinual reinfestation. C r op rotation
is the best way to prevent and con
trol these pests, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Don’t
plant biennial or perennial crops
unless they are immune *to nemic
diseases. Only plants that are im
mune should be planted on infest
ed soil. Choose quick-grow>ng
and quick-maturing crops. Try to
give the crops a good start before
the active season of a nemic pest
arrives. It is also necessary to
keep down the weeds, as they are
often attacked by nemas and may
carry the pests over a rotation
neriod.

Planning The Orchard
One of the most common mis
takes in planting Shi apple orchard
is to set the trees too close togeth
er, say horticulturists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Too
close spacing first causes the roots
to crowd and later, the branches.
In deciding on the distance be
tween trees, take into account the
variety, the character of the soil,
and the region. Different varieties
vary in vigor and strength of
?rowth and in expansion of limbs.
A moist, fertile soil will produce a
larger tree than a soil lacking in
these qualities. In some sections
of the country apple trees are
planted 25 to 28 feet apart each
way, but this is too close for per
manent trees. In some of the older
apple sections in the North, the
trees are planted 40 feet each way,
or sometimes more. Probably dist
ances of 33 to 36 feet apart, are
best for general conditions. Under
dry conditions trees should be
somewhat farther apart than
where ample moisture is available.

Keep Cows Clean
Keep dairy cows clean if you
want a low bacterial count in your
milk, says the Bureau of Dairy
Industry, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture. In an experiment in
which open, sterilized milk pails
were used, samples of fresh milk
from uncleaned cows had an av
erage bacterial count of 55,208 per
cubic centimeter, while samples of
fresh milk from clean cows with
udders and tests washed had an
average count of only 4,947 bac
teria per cubic centimeter. Cows
kept in stables need a thorough
grooming at least once a day. Clip
the long hairs from the udder and
flanks. Before milking, wipe the
udder, and belly with a clean,
damp cloth. Sufficient bedding,
proper stable construction, and
frequent removal of manure also
help to keep cows clean.

A ration consisting of hay, sil
age, and grain is a good one to feed
the dairy heifer late in the fall, in
winter, and early in the spring.
Well-cured legume hays such as
alfalfa, clover, vetch, cowpeas, or
soybeans are best, as they are high
in protein and lime. Corn silage is
rich in carbohydrates and is suc
culent and laxative. Heifers from
6 to 12 months old should get
from 5 to 15 pounds of silage daily
and all the good legumes hay they
will eat. A good rule for feeding
grain to heifers is to allow about
one-half pound daily for each 100
pounds of live weight. Heifers thin
in flesh should get more.

A baby does not need shoes un
til walking time. Shoes put on be
fore then, generally for appear
ance, do more harm than good. The
first walking shoes should have
flexible but firm soles, unpolished,
preferably slightly buffed, and
broad enough to be a steady plat
form under each foot. Very soft
soles curl and make more difficult
the baby’s task of learning balance.
Stiff or boarlike soles are also to
be avoided. The toes of the up
pers should be full or puffy, . not
flat and cramping to the toes.

Farmers whose com crops are
short can save money by substi
tuting wheat and barley, pound for
pound, for com, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Feed
these grains in the same way and
in the'same combinations as corn
is usually fed, says the department.
For general purposes, a pound of
cracked wheat or a pound of crack
ed barley, or a pound of both in
any proportion, has the same
feeding value as a pound of corn.

Farmers in arid and semiarid
sections who plan to pump water
from wells for irrigating crops
should find out whether the water
contains alkali salts, says the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads. These
minerals sometimes are present in
well water in quantities large
enough to injure crops. Your
State agricultural college can give
you informaton on this point.

Don’t waste money on medicinal
“cures’’ for infectious abortion of
livestock, warns Dr. J. R.. Mohler,

or information from your State ag
ricultural experiment station or
the Department of Agriculture.
