Two Subjects of Vast Importance in the -Present Crisis, Namely, the Saving of Wheat Flour and the Problem of Milk Supply. By Abby L. Marlatt, Specialist in Scientific Home Management. Questionâ€" A.F. : â€" I have field with good natural drainage which I want to get into alfalfa next The enthusiasm with which the bread-makers (and bread-winners) of the country are attacking the problem of conserving wheat flour is shown by the appearance of new recipes for different types of bread designed to save wheat. All these recipes fall into general classes determined by what has been substituted for wheat, or by what grain or cereal or vegetable has been mixed with the wheat in order that j a flve-acre will get better results than you would ^ iggg wheat need be used, otherwise.

Milk is a Mast Valuable Food One^ever speaks of milk without thinkmg of the child, and in any dis- cussion of voluntary saving of foods during the present crisis, the rights of the child stand first.

Too many breeders are so anxious to get returns that they breed young sows before they are developed. The result is that the sow never turns out to be what she would have had she attained her growth before farrowing. The best cross to produce pigs for bacon is one between pure-bred boars â-  Lesson XI and sows of the same breed. To speak plainly, crossing of breeds is rather risky except in the hands of one who thoroughly understands breeding, and such men do not practise it to any ex- tent. Many newly-born pigs die immedi- ately after delivery just for lack of a helping hand.
