When the Children Come 
Home From School 
C'ROM experience we have learned to 
" expect the chorus, “Oh, I’m hungry,” 
or as the little Irish girl put it, “I’m 
starved with the hunger,” when the 
children come in from school. This, too, 
when we have sent them away in the 
morning with well-filled dinner pails as 
“balanced” as w'e could make them. 
But there has been a strain on the young 
brain and nerves and they need to be fed. 
It is not time for the regular supper. 
This is where a hot, nourishing soup will 
be found useful, a cup of which, served 
with a piece of bread or crackers will 
prove very satisfying. 
The following have been tried and 
found to be good. Make some for dinner 
and be sure to leave enough to reheat 
when children come from school. 
Cream of Onion Soup 
Cut in small slices 4 or 5 onions, or more if 
needed, put on to cook in l l /2 pts. water. 
When nearly done salt to taste and add 
potatoes cut in about 1 inch cubes. Boil 
until done, then add 1 teacupful good rich 
milk, dash of cayenne pepper, and serve 
hot. 
Cream of Chicken Soup 
Prepare onions as in'previous recipe, with 
them boil the neck, back bones and left¬ 
over bits of chicken. Add potatoes and 
season well, adding milk or cream before 
serving. 
Cream of Carrot Soup 
Carrots are said to be one of the most 
healthful vegetables, being rich in iron. 
Encourage the children to eat them. Add 
^1 cup grated carrot or a few diced carrots 
to the onion prepared as directed above. 
Season well, and add one cup rich milk at 
the last.— Anna E. Langdon. 
Soap Economy 
T HE art of soap-making, which a 
hundred years ago was known to 
almost every housekeeper, has never 
quite died out and could profitably be 
revived these days. 
j However, few housekeepers care to 
make their soap, but the amount required 
in a household may be cut almost in 
half by careful use. It is economy to buy 
soap by the box, as it is usually cheaper, 
and goes much farther when cured. The 
cakes should be cut in two and piled in a 
dry place. You will find it will last twice 
as long as the “green” product. 
Quantities of soap are wasted by being 
left in the dishpan or floor pail to soak 
away. Then there are the scraps. To 
dispose of them we often use more than 
needed, while we might utilize them to 
advantage. Put through a food-chopper, 
using the finest knife and mixed with four 
times the quantity of cornmeal, soap 
scraps make the best of cleansers for the 
hands, leaving them soft and smooth. 
Keep this cleanser in a box so it will 
be dry and use a small quantity as needed. 
If you prefer it in the cake, put the scraps 
over the fire with enough water to cover. 
When dissolved and near the boiling 
point, stir in all the cornmeal it will take 
and spread in a square shallow pan to 
harden. When cold, cut in squares and 
it is ready to use. A good liquid soap is 
made by cutting up the scraps of toilet 
soap and putting in bottles with just 
enough water to cover. In a few days it 
will be ready for use.— Mrs. George 
Gray. 
Many A. A. readers make their own soap by a recipe 
which we have often been called on to furnish. It is an 
tconomy, but there are other ways of saving soap, as Mrs. 
Gray shoics.—Household Editor. 
The A. A. Is a Friend in Need 
“A year ago, a ‘green’ city girl, I arrived on the farm 
with no experience whatsoever in farm matters, and only 
a tourist’s knowledge of the farm. In fact I thought 
planting and harvesting were the two main occupations 
of a farmer’s life, and little realized that the preparation 
and constant treatment of the land was all important. 
The Agriculturist has been invaluable to me. It has 
given me an insight into national as well as local farm 
conditions, and has taught some rudiments of farming 
that my husband neglected to mention (which, of course, 
were few and far between). In the Agriculturist I 
have found a definite and logical answer to innumerable 
questions that have risen in my mind at different times, 
and a thorough, yet clear and concise, discussion of all 
present day problems.”—M. K. C., N. Y.
