U.S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
WAR GARDENS WERE SUCCESS
Home Vegetcb-e Pr.iches Yielded $350,
000,000 and Expected to Do Better
Next Summer.
What about the war gardens of
1917 ? Did they amount to anything?
Did they yield any profits? Will
there be war gardens in 1918?
The national emergency food gar
den commission declares the war
gardens were a success, and gives the
greatest encouragement for next
year’s war gardens.
In 1917 there were nearly 3,000,
000 gardens, aggregating 1,150,000
acres of city and town land under
cultivation. As these gardens were
tilled intensively, the products had
relatively high value, being figured I
in terms of retail prices which would
ha.ve otherwise been paid for food
purchased elsewhere, it is estimated
that their yield was valued at $350,
000,000, or $17.50 per family.
The glass jar manufacturers sold !
about 119,000,000 canning jars and
a survey of the household canning
in 20 typical towns throughout the I
country showed that housewivis used :
but one new jar to over three and
one- quarter old jars already on
hand.
On this basis the housewives of the 1
country put up nearly 500,000,000 !
quart jars of vegetables and fruits,
which is believed to be three times as
much as was ever packed before. \
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

Here’s an old fashioned recipe for
corn muffins that hns recently been
revived and used with unusual success
in several of the larger New York ho
tels : To make three and a half dozen
muffins take one quart milk, six ounces
butter substitute, twelve ounces of
light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and a half pounds cornmeal and
one and a half pounds rye flour. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly
mixed; then add the eggs gradually.
Pour in the milk and add the rye flour
mixed with cornmeal and baking pow
der.

DOG MEAT IN THE ARCTIC.
“In my expedition of 1891-92/’
writes Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary
in the Century, “I used dogs for
food for the first time in the history
of arctic exploration. As the dogs
wore out, we fed them to‘those re
maining, or ate them ourselves, thus
making our load of provisions last
much longer. This has been the prin
ciple of all my subsequent trips, and
results have fully proved it to be a
sound one.”
