Coucludefl from pa^e '.i 



waste and extra cost of handling. This 

 is one way to help the general conserva- 

 tion movement and thus carry through 

 to the end the splendid program started 

 last year.

1 c. of sifted squash, h c. sugar, I c. 

 butter, 2-.3 c. milk, 1 tsp. baking powder, 

 salt, .3 c. flour. Bake in a quick oven. 

 — Mrs. Horace Cole, Worthington. 



SQUASH BAKED IN THE SHELL 



Wash squash. Cut into halves, or into 

 quarters if it is very large. Remove 

 seeds. Bake in a moderate oven. When 

 it can be easily pierced with a fork, re- 

 move from the oven, scoop the squash 

 from the shell, mash, season with butter, 

 salt and pepper. Serve hot. 



STEAMED SQUASH 



Wash squash. Cut into pieces of con- 

 venient size to handle. Remove seeds 

 and the outer green shell. Steam until 

 tender. Mash, season with butter, pep- 

 per and salt. Serve hot. 



BAKED .SQUASH WITH BACON 



Cut squash in strips, remove skin, 

 sprinkle with salt, and put in baking 

 dish. Cut slices of bacon in narrow 

 strips, arrange these on the squash. 

 Cover dish and bake until squash is 

 tender, then uncover until bacon is crisp 

 and brown. 



SQUASH PIE 



Use the dry, mealy squashes. Stew 

 or bake the squash till tender. Sift it, 

 and allow one cup and one-half for an 

 ordinary sized pie. Mix with the squash 

 one cup of boiling milk, one-half cup of 

 sugar, one-half teaspoon of salt, one- 

 fourth teaspoon of cinnamon, and one 

 egg beaten slightly. Line a granite pie 

 plate with paste, allowing enough for a 

 fluted rim, fill with the squash mixture, 

 and bake in a hot oven until the crust is 

 brown and the squash puff's in the center.

Do Not Butcher the Sows 



Reports are coming in from all sides 

 of farmers killing off" their sows this fall. 

 The chief reason given is that there is a 

 glut of small pigs this fall and that the 

 price is low. 



Let us stop and consider. Little pigs 

 sold for $8 to $10 last spring and $5 to 

 $6 this fall or an average of .$6.50 to 

 $8.00. 



The farmer that prospers in any 

 branch of farming is the one who stays 

 with a proposition year in and year out, 

 not jumping with each change in the 

 market. Keep those sows ; they will pay 

 you good retuins next spring.
