Fish Economical Protein
Whether you serve fish as a
Lenten dish or just to add variety
to your meals, it is an economical
source of protein. Fresh, frozen
or canned fish have similar
nutrients. All contain high qual-
ity protein and can be used as
an alternate for meat.
Frozen fish sticks are new on i
the market and are popular. Uni-1
formly shaped, the boneless j
pieces are dipped in batter be-
fore being frozen and packaged.
Some are precooked and some
are uncooked.
Tuna is a leader right now,
and the price is reasonable. Cans
can be easily stored for future
use.
Cleanup Week
Every week should be cleanup
week around the farm. Keeping
the place clean, and all things
in place does its part in prevent-
ing fires and accidents around
the farm and home.
Check the attic, closets and

and trash can accumulate and

heating systems. Watch overload-
