STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNA STANTON
ASSISTANT STATE AGENT
"Go easy on heat" is the first and
most important rule for cooking
with cheese, according to cookery
scientists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Cheese needs only
enough heating to melt and blend
with other ingredients. High heat
or cooking too long makes it tough,
stringy and leathery. Too much
heat may cause curdling also in j
mixtures of cheese, egg and milk.
When cooking cheese dishes on top
* of the stove, cook in a double boil
er to protect the cheese from high
heat. When cooking in the oven,
have the heat low.
The second rule for cooking with
cheese is: Add it to other ingre
wMntimihifiMi vatihrfo;
than "in one large piece. When
broken up, cheese spreads more
evenly among the other ingredi
ents, does not form a solid lump
of curd when the fat melts out, and
the mixture cooks in a shorter
time. Grating is the easiest way
to break up cheese that is fairly
dry. Soft cheese may be shaved
thin, flaked* with a fork, pressed
through a sieve or run through a
meat grinder.
A third rule for cooking with
cheese is: Whenever possible, blend
cheese* in a smooth sauce before
?adding?to?other ingredients. A
white sauce with cheese melted in
it may be poured over cooked
vegetables for a scallop; into beat
en eggs for Welsh rabbit, or on
macaroni before baking. By com
bining cheese with a sauce first,
curdling difficulties may be avoid
ed.
Here's a soap-saving plan that
will assure your having the right
size soap for use at all times. Place
new bar of soap at the bathtub
first. As tire cake gets, smaller,
move it to the washbowl. Next,
move it to the kitchen. Put the
last remaining scrap into a jar for
soap jelly. Then place the soap
jelly back fh the bathroom for all
sorts of cleaning jobs, such as clean
ing the tub and. washbowl.

ALL-PULLET FLOCKS
LAY THE MOST EGGS
"If it's eggs you are looking for,"
says Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne, head
of the State College Poultry de
partment, "by all means keep an
all-pullet flock and the old wire
basket will be filled to the brim
when egg prices are highest."
Records of many hundreds of
"carry-over" birds at the State
College poultry farm show that
during the hen-year the bird lays
about twenty-five percent fewer
eggs than during the pullet-year.
"Then, too, the bird has to be cared
for and fed throughout tho moit
that generally occurs after the first
year of lay," Prof. Dearstyne says.
And he makes another telling
point in favor of the all-pullet
flock when he points out that many
old hens, despite fine performance
as pullets, are* disease carriers,
especially if respiratory trouble*
have been prevalent in the flock
during the pullet year.
He suggests that sexed pullets1
from heavy laying strains or fam
ilies, be purchased and then. care
fully reared. He especially em
phasizes quality.
"Here's how many commercial
producers make good egg money,"
he explains "They stimulate their
layers with lights so as to give
heavy production during autumn
when egg prices are high. Then
they sell off all birds when the
break in production occurs in the
spring or when a market glut
brings about a condition where
the birds are unprofitable."
"Representatives of all phases of
the State's dairy industry and the
public at large will be asked to
attend the hearing and air their
objections, if any, to the proposed
regulations."
The committee's proposed reg
ulations then will be turned over
to the State Board of Agriculture
for final, official action.
Members of the committee are:
Dr. William Moore, State veteri
narian; Dr. J. S. Dorton, State Fair
director and former county milk
inspector; Dr. E. W. Constable,
Stale chemist; C. W. Pegram, di
rector of the State dairy laboratory;
and Co-ltrane.
