Below we present the first of the new series of farm menus or food schedules for an entire day, which are to take the place of the recxpes as heretofore publish- ed. For the winning suggestions each week $1 will ‘be paid. The . following menu is for a fa!mly of 'six, four of whom are engaged in regular farm work: ' BREAKFAST Oatmeal with cream ‘and sugar German fried potatoes (b5 large) <. . Bacon and eg'gs Wheat cakes Maple symp Coffee - DINNER Mashed Potatoes (12) Boiled Ham Corn on Ear (12) - Sliced Cucumbers (4) Creamed Parsnips (6) Bread and Butter i lebarb Pie’ Tea . SUPPER Baked Potatoes (12)" Creamed Cabbage Macaroni ‘and Cheese (10 sticks of Mae: Bakmg Powder . chufls Beet Pickles Sauce © " MISS. M. R. S, Dee.rmg,N D. COMMENTS ON THE MENU Please do mnot consider the comments on the menu as. unfaverable criticism, but as suggeshons It would be more valuable :in many ways and especially to \ you if you would write in any comment - you think of in connection with the menu or in criticism of ‘my comments. The main reason for this contest is. to stidy menus and improve them if pos- sible. It women will respond:and give me a large hst of menus to choose from and work _ We need the help of all to make our " excusable. However - it - is hoped ‘that many ‘more page a real success. 1t is always open for your suggestions, helps or lites of subjects that you care to discuss or havev discussed. Use it—it is yours, my friends, and wishes to serve you. However it can only serve you as you serve it and inspire it to.help your needs. We are gratified at the fine-way in which the women sent in recipes and hope the spirit will be as good in this new ‘enterprise. We will print a recipe occasionally but will give no prizes for it. We have a number of - good recipes on hand that we want. all to have. so will get them to you.in this way. In the aboye menu, I think the potatoes could well be ommitted: at either supper or breakfast, as either of those meals is complete without potatoes and the use of potatoes so often is \;sually more of a habit than a necessf It no doubt saves e bread to use more potatoes, But may not always be for the best. The use of whole wheat flour, bran and rye flour would lessen the expense of bread and make:a more wholesome It seems rather extravagant to serve four kinds of vegetables at a dinner, but where a ‘garden is at hand it may be -intreases the" work materially to prepare four.different vegetables and would be as ‘well to serve a little more of any one, and omit one. for instance, omit the parsnips and serve them the following day ‘when corn'is not at hand, or put some aside for winter use as the corn does not keep so-easily. Otherwise the dinner is very good. I: like to see the use of cheese. to take the place of meat for supper, as meat twice a day is often enough and especially when only pork is available. “On the Teacher’s Side” A short time ago we had a contest on country life, ways of making it more . attractive and mterestmg—many of you ; spoke especially of the social side ‘of « community life, and its needs of i improve- ment, and you gave examples .of “how tHat could be accomplished.” These were all very good and most of thém were very .. practical for any community. I wonder how many of these suggestions are in use how and if they are being worked out as well as they were written? - I. hope so and now is the best ’txme to start. School has opened in most parts of the state, in many places , there is a new: teacher, she is a stranger. in ‘your com-" munity and you are her hostess, so to speak. Do not consider-her a machine: that you have ‘paid to come -into the - scltool and .earn her money. She is hyman, she “is; among strangers, away from home, struggling with new condi- tions, trying to.get acquainted with new children and new surroundings. Think _of, your daughter in -similar circum- stances, help her all you can and you will get much better work from her. Do not start by criticising her methods, her way of .dressing, and what not. . She may be . different, but that does not alwaya mean bad.

It is not fair. I am sure you have, not - overlooked: this social duty mtentmnally, ; but have rather-thought thé teacher in a ’ separate class, and that you were under - no obligations to call upon her. Do your part to make this teacher a part of your community; if it is very difficult or almast impossible for you to- go and call on the teacher, write-to her or call her'on the phone and tell her, if it . is difficult for you to get out in the evening when she is at liberty, but that :you would like to have-her come for sup- per and get acquainted and visit with the “part of the family that she does not meet - in school. She will Understand and I am sure ‘she. will do her part to come half way, . always. If the -teacher is:made a pa,rt of .the. community and'is received by all parts’ of the neighborhood there is practically no end to the helpful things she can do in the district. You must not however expect ‘her to be able to take an active part in all enterprises as she ‘will not have time to do so and keep her school work up to standard. = .
