MERES A DIME, RUR.To] DIVIDE W/TH BUD-', infs //?e bu Nancu Hart Blueberry Pie A good deep-dish blueberry pie is this: butter a deep baking dish and fill with huckleberries which have been looked over and washed. Sprinkle with a half cup of sugar, a tablespoon of flour and three- quarters of a cup of sugar—or more —to a quart of berries. Cover with a top crust, gash it two or three times, and bake. Vegetable Omelet Spread an omelet, ready to turn, with hot cooked vegetables. Cooked peas, diced carrots, finely cut string beans, and corn cut from the cob make a good combination. Omelets can be nuch improved in appearance, and somewhat im proved in taste by garnishing. Wat ercress or parsley may be used. A sweet omelet may be garnished with preserved strawberries. A vegetable omelet may be garnished with pickled beets or diced vege tables. The dish the omelet is served on should be warm. And if the cook can persuade those who are to eat it to be at table promptly when the omelet appears, so jnuch the bet ter. Lemon Jelly Two tablespoons granulated gelatin, one-half cup cold water, two to two and one-half cups boil ing water, one cup sugar, one-half cup lemon juice, rind one lemon. Soak gelatin 20 minutes in cold water, then dissolve in boiling wa ter. Add sugar, the lemon juice and rind; strain-into a mold and chill. Beating the lemon jelly while it is jelly-like with a Dover egg beater will make it white and fluffy. Orange, raspberry or other fruit jelly may be made in the same way, 'using one-half cup of the fruit juice with lemon juice to taste. Huckleberry Betty Huckleberry betty is made by stewing huckleberries with sugar and water until tender, then put ting them in layers in a pudding dish with coarse breadcrumbs, dot ting with butter, and baking until done. This should be served with hard sauce or whipped cream. X HUMORETTES Treating Oat Seed Will Prevent The 1932 Smut Losses Treating oat seed now for sow ing this fall is important if large smut losses next year are to be pre vented, the U. S. Department of Agriculture warns. The oat crop is important for grain and forage and as a cover crop throughout the South, and the increase in smut losses in many fields this year makes it clear that seed should be treated. Seed may be treated for as little as one-half cent a bushel. Smut infection of oats in the South was worse this year than it has been for some time. Even Fulghum, one of the varieties which formerly was fairly smut- resistant, was badly smutted in many fields. Some varieties such as Red Rustproof, Appier, and Tex as Red were less smutty than Ful ghum this year. As Fulghum is an early and productive variety and valuable as a grain and forage crop, treating it to prevent smut is especially important. One of the reasons advanced for the prevalence of smut in fall sown oats is that new physiologic forms are appearing and attacking hitherto resistant varieties, declares Dr. R. J. Haskell, extension plant pathologist of the department. Seed treatment definitely pre vents smut infection from the seed and so farmers are urged to treat their seed this year. There are three preparations used for treat ing. The first is liquid formalde hyde. Formaldehyde should cost not more than 20 cents a pound and a pound will treat 40 bushels, making the cash cost of treatment one-half cent a bushel. Formalde hyde dusts, preferred by some be cause they permit treating some time in advance of the time of sowing and because they are easy to apply, are purchasable at about 40 cents a pound • and a pound ' treats five bushels, making the cost ! of this treating material approxi- I mately 8 cents a bushel. A third treating material is organic mer cury dust. This retails for about 60 cents a pound and a pound treats five bushels, making the cost per bushel, of seed" approximately 12 cents. Farmers are urged to see their county agents for detailed infor mation on treating fall sown oats. Miscellaneous Publication 21-MP, Forihaldehyde Seed Treatment for Oat Smuts, discusses treatment methods and may be obtained free by writing to the Office of Infor mation, U. S. Department of Agri culture, Washington, D. C. A.cv J j R from Headaches, Colds and Sore Throat Neuritis, Neuralgia Don’t be a chronic sufferer from head- iches, or any other pain.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS Mrs. Nagger—It says here in the paper there are six million slaves in the world today. Mr. Nagger—Huh, no one can tell me there aren’t more married men than that! “A man dropped 300 feet from a building the other day and wasn’t hurt.” “Impossible!” “No, they were pickled pig’s ,:*eet.” Diamond—I thought you said you took private lessons from a bridge expert?

In case there is not very much fat, get an extra piece of suet and skewer it to the top. Place the meat in a very hot oven to sear on the outside. Then reduce the temperature and cook slowly until done. 1XX Hens lay well when they are kept in confinement during the fall and winter, provided the poultry house is well ventilated and well lighted and the hens get a well-balanced ration. Hens that do not get direct sunlight need 1-2 to 1 per cent of cod-liver oil in the mash. -txi- Never turn electricity off or on when you are standing on a wet or even damp floor. If you do so, the current is likely to pass through your body. Also avoid turning light switches on or off when standing in a wet place, like a freshly mopped floor, or when your hands are wet. 1X1 The best size of milk house for the farmer milking from 10 to 20 cows is one with a milk room 6 by 9 feet, a wash room of about the same size, and a boiler room 6 by 6 feet, according to the Bureau of Dairy Industry.
