THURSDAY. NOV. 28th. ~g4o THE #ANADIA~ STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTAR[O ~A?ùE ELEVEN Hello, Homemakers! The in- creased price of milk has caused considerable consternation, but there are certain facts we must not lose sight of. The foremost being that milk is the most per- ct food in our diet-we must not eprive ourselves of the necessary WMpint of milk daily and the quart ' for each child daily. The best ways to use milk are as a cold or hot beverage, creamed soups, creamed sauce and milk puddings. The value lies in the body- building materials, sources of en- ergy and fuel, and the vitamins which milk contains. The but- terfat or cream of milk is high in fuel for the body, but we have substitutes in large amounts, in the meats and vegetable oils that we use. Thus, skim milk, butter- milk, cottage cheese, are the foods to maintain health and reduce the grocery budget. Here are some reliable butter- milk recipes-or if whole milk turns sour, don't throw out this expensive food, but substitute it for buttermilk in the following recipes: Buttermilk Scones Two cups flour, 3 tablespoons of butter, ½ teaspoon soda, /2 tea- spoon salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, .½ cup raisins if desired, 1 egg, buttermilk to moisten (about 3/4 cup). Sift the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter evenly and mix in the raisins. Beat the egg and add one- half cup of buttermilk. Stir into the dry ingredients with enough more buttermilk to make a soft dough. Divide in half and roll each piece of dough in circular shape about one-half inch thick. Cut in quarters, but do not sep- arate the pieces. ' Bake in a hot oven about 15 minutes. Buttermilk Salad Dressing 11/2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tea- spoon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, few grains cayenne pepper, 1/2 tablespoons of flour 14 teapoon of onion salt if desired, 11/2 table- spoons butter, 1 cup of buttermilk 14 cup of vinegar or lemon juice, 2 eggs. Mix the dry ingredients. Add the slightly beaten eggs and but- termilk. Cook over boiling wa- ter until the mixture thickens, then add' the butter and stir in the vinegar or lemon juice very slowly. If the dressing has a curdled appearance, it may be re- medied by beating vigorously with a Dover egg beater. This dressing is delicious with veget- able and fish salads. Buttermilk Chocolate Cake ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 cup but- termilk or sour milk, 6 table- spoons pocoa, 4 tablespoons but- ter, 1 egg, 1/ cups flour, % tea- spoon soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder. Cream butter, add the sugar and well-beaten egg. Sift together the dry ingredients and add alternate- ly with the buttermilk to the first mixture. Bake in an electric oven at 350 degrees for 45 min- utes. Buttermilk Pancackes ½ cup milk, 1 cup buttermik or sour milk, 1% cups flour, 2 1-3 teaspoons baking powder, 1-3 tea- spoon soda, salt, 1 egg yolk, 1 egg white, 2 tablespoons melted but- ter. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sat and soda. Combine sweet and sour milk. Add the unbeaten egg yolk and the sifted dry ingredients, then add the melted butter and beat thorough- ly. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg white and cook on a hot greased iron pan. Serve with lemon syr- up or maple syrup. Take a Tip 1. Mashed bananas added to beaten egg whites make a good substitute for whipped cream. 2. When making applesauce cake, grate the apples instead of cooking them. In that way no water is added and the full fiavor of the apple is retained. 3. The electric mixer whose beaters can be moved into the ket- tle of potatoes, pot of squash, fresh applesauce or curdling cus- tard is a great time-aver. It whips food to a velvety smooth consistency. 4. A dover beater causes plenty of spatters which can be prevent- ed if you cut a hole in a- paper plate andi slip it over the top of the beaters.

WHEN AGRICULTURE IS HEALTHY "No one has to worry about de- pression when agriculture is healthy. The stock market might get a little fever. We might get a little gastritis in the price sec- tion, but the business body is go- ing to be all right as long as the agricultural heart of the body keeps healthy."-Clinton Ander- son, U.S. Secretary of Agricul- ture. If all we love is our reputation, that won't help to save the na- tion.
