ECONOMICAL DISHES. -- some-cornmea- l, d . . table-spoonf- Milk as a food Is one of the great- est Importance. We are told that a quart of milk should he each memused dally-fo- r ber of the family before any meat is purchased. In thousands of homes where there are little children, milk, because It has Increased In price, has been cut down to barely a pint per family, while meat which la considered such a necessity Is bought regardless of price. Milk, even at 13 cents a quart, la the cheapest protein food we can buy. Sklin milk, which sells for half the, price of whole milk, makes a most wholesome food and may lie used In hundreds of dishes In which the whole milk was thought necessary. It is both unwise and false economy to save on milk and spend It on meat and more expensive rro-tel- n products. Dates at the present moment are not cheap jmd are not economical to buy often, at GO or GO cents a pound, but before long they may get back to the old price or near It and we w'U then feel that we can Indulge In them with impunity.

SHELL OYSTER MISSION OF Not Given to Supply Grlt but to Make Bone, Muscle and Feathera Help Out Ration. ; Many poultry growers, especially beginners, have the Impression that oyster shells make a good grit for fowls, 6ut such la not toe cose. Oyster shells, In some respects do help to grind the fowls food, but toe chief mission Is to make bone, muscle and feathers. They form the shell of the egg, or assist In tola mqtter and at time aid In making a complete ration when fowls are fed charcoal and grit together with their grain rations.. If yon keep them before the hens and do not feed d they will prevent eggs nnd keep them from acquiring: g the habit, which la one of the greatest losses ever experienced by any poultryman. In almost every feed given to fowls we find a shortage' of ash.
