Altamont Pep Club Has Slumber Fire Chat ALTAMORT Party, The Altamont Pep Club FARManJlIOMEte Mrs. Grant Hansen UTAH STATU agkicultvk EXTENSION SERVICH Home economic By Mary Lois Reichert Home Demonstration Agent ADVANCE PREPARATIONS When you plan your holiday dinner, its smart management to make a list of the foods that can be prepared ahead of the big day to save time, labor and confusion. When dinner . is to be served at noon, its especially helpful to get as much of the meal as possible ready the day before. What and how much you can do in advance depends partly on the food and partly on how much refrigeration space you have. For example, a job like preparing stuffing is well worth doing the day before if theres room to keep the stuffing in the refrigerator. In contrast, cooking vegetables ahead of time doesnt pay because they lose quality in reheating and doing so means extra pans to wash. Here are some possible time-consumi- day-befo- jobs: re 1. Stuffing whether made with bread crumbs, flaky cooked rice or com bread. Keep in the refrigerator closely covered If oysters are used in stuffing, add them just before the stuffing goes in the turkey. 2. Cranberry sauce of jelly can be made the day before or earlier. Many people like unrelish cooked cranberry-orangwhich keep two to three weeks in a tight jar in the refrigerator. To make: Put through the food grinder a pound of cranberries and an orange rind and all except seeds. Then mix with a cup of sugar or starined noney and 1V64 teaspoon of salt. 3. Fresh raw vegetables for relishes may be washed and prepared the day before. This includes celery, radishes, carrot sticks or lettuce, which will keep crisp overnight in the refrigerator. 4. Gelatin salad may be made a day ahead, but green salad should be mixed just before serving. 5. Filling for pumpkin pie may be mixed a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Mince pie is best freshly baked, but some homemakers bake it a day ahead and reheat it in the oven after the turkey comes out. e FARMER Leo Haueter was telling me the other evening of a very special heifer in his dairy herd that had just come into production. The reason for her being special was that she was from artificial breeding and the first producing offspring in the Roosevelt area. She produced a nice heifer calf, but appeared to have little udder capacity, which he said was disappointing when he expected so much from her. In this case looks were deceiving, because at this time, three weeks or so after freshening, she is producing more than 50 lbs. of milk per day from a and small, but firmly set udder. If we, as dairy men, were to sit down for one evening and figure out a way to double our income in 5 or 10 years without increasing the number of cows in the herd or feed consumption, we should feel our time was well spent. The only answer we could come up with to accomplish such a thing is to replace the present herd with offspring from bulls proven to transmit high yields in milk and butter fat production. The following are some figures calculated on feed at present prices and on butterfat at a slightly higher price than now exists on grade C milk.

We hope we have none this year in Duchesne County and I would like to recommend1 a few against this. Keep your tree as moist and fresh as possible while it is in your home. Christmas tree fires are real tragedies, which bring sadness into your home at the holiday season. Christmas trees are naturally high in inflammable resins, and as the water dries out of the needles, the danger of a fire increases. Some trees are harvested two or three months before Christmas and are dangerously dry before being sold. These can be detected readily by feeling the needles. Fresh needles are felxible and feel damp when crushed, while dried needles are brittle and may even fall when the branches are shaken. A tree can be kept fresh from time of purchase until it is put into use by standing it in a pail of water in a cool garage or on the shady side of a building. An occasional sprinkling of the foilage with w'ater will also help, according to the County Agent. Once inside the home the tree can be kept fresh by standing it in a large pail of wet sand and gravel. This makes a sturdy stand, as well as providing a means of replacing the moisture which evaporates from the needles. Additional water should be poured into the pail as the tree absorbs it. Directions for chemically fireproofing Christmas trees can be obtained from the State Extension Forester at the Utah State Agricultural College, Logan. Be sure the tree is placed well away from fireplaces, warm airducts, radiators, radios, and place it so it will not block an exit in case a fire does occur. THE S. The seasons opening basketball game on Union Highs floor last Saturday night found the Cougars in about as frigid a state as it could be possible for a team to be in, and a lot of loyal fans were disappointed in seeing their pride and joy drop a contest to a visiting team from Lehi. Duchesne was dumped on a road trip It was a case of one team being sloppy hot playing against a team that was colder than a pack of Eskimo dogs. The Cougars couldnt buy a basket and the visitors couldnt miss during the second half. The game started off as though it were going to be a affairs Lehi scored first from the four line, then the Cougars tied it with a foul pitch. Lehi scored from the field and Craig Hutchings tied it Both teams up for Union at handled the ball reasonably well the first half and both defenses were working as the half ended for Lehi. But the second half turned out to be a rout for Lehi as they began pouring in the points, and the Cougars missed a billion shots enough that had they collected 20 of them, they could have won a ball game. There arent any Union fans who are disheartened, because they have a potentially good team. It will take a few weeks to iron out the kinks and find a combination. And when they do. with the speed they have, the Cougars should be a good team. The Eagles from Duchesne contest to South dropped a Emery at Ferron last weekend as Coach Long took his lads on a trip across Indian Canyon to play a couple of games. The Eagles, like the Cougars, have a lot of speed, but lack height. And even though they were hard hit by graduation. Supplemental feeding' of liveDuchesne will be heard from er stock is used by nearly all prothe season Is over. ducers. in some form and each DUCHESNE has his own reason. I would like to give you a few of my reasons why I think a supplement can oftimes be profitably used. 1. One reason is that proper nutrients are not available in sufficient quantity in most farm grown feeds. 2. Economy is another reason for supplemental feeding. Small amounts of concentrated feed will actually cut over-al- l production costs, the Agent points out. For example, to obtain her daily protein requirement a cow would have to eat about 150 pounds of corn silage. Only two pounds of cottonseed meal contains the same daily ration of protein. 3. Feed supplements can also supply the same energy pro0 duced in pounds of straw, which will supply a cow with her daily need. However, on a straw diet, cattle lose weight and calves fail to grow properly. Straw is also low on protein, calcium, phosphorous and carotene, necessary elements in the animals diet. 4. Livestock producers who want to increase the size of calf or lamb crops, weight and rate of gains and the breeding efficiency of the herd will continue to use feed supplements as a necessary addition to their other feed; ?nd dont forget bone meal and salt free choice. 38-2- Gleaned from the Files of The Miss Grace Hart were united in marriage on Tuesdty, last, at Duchesne Record of 1918 A most popular young couple the home of the brides parents. oOoentered lifes pathway as one, The men are working vigorwhen Mr. James Dalgleish and ously at the new bridge on Hard-leyplace, crossing the Du- Wfto, 7 safe-guar- Thru The Files Of The Record -- By Robert Basketball Tilts $1 00 - 3 Months mm rHwfl Senior-Junio- New Town Board Members Named trustees were apTwo pointed to the Altamont City Board.

Starting at 5 oclock a pot luck supper was served buffet style to members of the Pep Club, Mrs. Agnes Farnsworth, Mr. and Mrs. David Gailey and boys, our chaperones, Mrs. Gladys Bell, Mrs. Louise Beardon, Mrs. Eliza Neilson. Our special guest was Mrs. Agnes Farnsworth, who at a quiet fireside scene read us the booklet, The Heart of a Rose. Then after singing Carols we prepared for bed. Needless to say, there was little slumber. Some settled down around 2 a. m but the majority was just dropping off at about 4:30. Then to top that all off, someone set the alarm for 5 a.m., so some of the kids after about 20 minutes of sleep, had to get up to start breakfast. A waffle breakfast was served to Dr. and Mrs. P. T. Farnsworth and chaperones and to the members. David Gailey took flash photographs the evening before. Were all looking forward to more of our club activities.
