$225 in cash a set of di-lies fifty
die rry trees anel some smalle r special
pnzes at county and stite fairs Part
of these prizes were won with cakes
however for Mrs McNally not oiely
cans but sin cooks!
The McNallys milk five cows The
family uses a gallon and a half of
whole milk and a pound of budi r -e
ry day Anil these youngsters show
it! Nothing like plenty of milk but-
ter and ve ge tables to kee p a bunch of
kiiii)iis healthy! In addition to what
thp family usis enough butter is solel
to pay the grocery bill Tbe butter
is contracted the year around so the re
is never any falling off in price's
Mdk and butter art kept cool in a
trough of water of which there is a
plentiful supply on the McNally farm
Mrs McNally raises both turkeys
and thickens Lad year she marketed
ninety eiressed tuikcys in Chicago
which she estimated netted he r $1 per
turkey more than she would have sole!
them for on the local market which
paid well for the trouble of dresdng
them Flit also solel sixty-two capons
which brought $135 She keep- 115
be ns but has kept no re-corel of pro-
eluetion Other than a daily eheek to
determine if the be ns are hi) mg well
We usually think of a foeni “ pe-
eiali t” as one who ex perime nts with
foods to ele termme the ir t ffeet eitlnr
upon human be-ingr or upon animals
and then tells the result to the rest
of us Mrs McNally is a food spe-
cialist by nature $ he lke s to try new
rece ipe s and methods and she has the
knaek of the good cook Not only is
her family wel nourished but she
leeels her chickens ami turkeys np-

thing on the McNally farm looke el we’ll
fed
To wash cook bake and sew for a
family of eight besides raising chick-
ens anel tui keys making garden and
caring for the milk of five cows is
no small job I wondered that one
W'ornan could do it nil and told Mr
McNally so 1 shall always rerne mber
how Mrs McNally looked ns she suel
simply “It is for inv children 1
couldn’t do it if 1 didn't want them
to have what they ne'e-el” Anel then
she told me of Wat)c the oldest a
boy of twelve who was attending the
livestock show at Oklahoma City that
