entire sum mer in spite of inexperienced help gardeners have displayed an excel lent quality of produce and an ample quantity for our needs too it is then up to us to make the best of truefla vored foods keep the flavor of late summer fruits by storing them in a 4x1 placepreferably the refrtcerat- or do not store too much raw fruit for a long period use the ripest ones first it is wise precaution to keep ny strong flavored foods away from fresh fruit in the preparation of trait such as peaches pears and apples drop in salted water as soon as peeled to prevent discoloration mix with citrus fruits if these fruits have to stand for some time peach ooffee cake cream 2 ibsp shortening and u cup sugar add 1 beaten egg sift to gether 1 cups flour tap salt and 3 up baking powder add

plaster vases by dipping into a thick liquid starch when dry brush off the starch and dirt will van ish with it 3 try adding a pinch of nutmog to creamed corn a different but blending flavor for a change the question box mrs d w says is it true that you should sprinkle sliced cucumbers with salt and allow them to stand some time before serving answer there is no evidence that salt makes cucumbers easier to digest salt would draw water from the cells and moke the cucumber limp and un appetizing this water contains val uable minerals and vitamins which would be tost crlspness would be lost too mrs e c says mould formed on some extra fruit juice i had in covered bottle in the refrigerator could x use it answer such mould is not injuri ous to health but may change the flavor usually the mould can be skimmed off and the syrup boiled will be all right to help avoid it pour hot syrup into a sterile jar cover at once and place in the refrigerator as soon as cool if syrup is kept for an extended period reheat it occas ionally and always- keep in airtight container mrs g j m has a suggest inn for r b to make red chill sauce peel and core tomatoes put in pan mash with wooden potato masher cut up onions bring tomatoes and 2 on ions to a boll then take off lid of pan and let cool till chill sauce thick neat than put in sugar salt spices mixed with the vinegar and let cool for a few minutes longer stir well dinger farm kked1ng more wbrax tofajrmuveotgck ws something seems to tell me that farmers were not included in the pro vincial governments plan for a forty- eight hour working week for us a fortyeight hour sleeping week would be nearer the mark and not always hat this week for instance there were threshings to go to but no possible chance of getting a man that meant partner was up several mornings at 430 and it is more likely other farm ers without help are having to do the same thing that is where there are a good number of cows to milk just as i v as beginning to wonder how long partner would stand the pace young john appeared on the scene and was ready and willing to come back and work for us john you may remember is the young lad we had living with us a year or two ago isnt that a fair sample of the way things often happen you get to the place where you cant see any sol ution to your many problems and then suddenly the way is clear in this instance we have even better luck than we had hoped for steady help at last help with the milking the chores the held work and last but not least the threshings partner be gins to look better already we may not set down to a fortyeight hour week but we shall at least get some thing better than a fortyeight hour sleeping week and that will be some thing to be thankful for last week i spent most of my tlmo pickling and canning since there was only one day on which we were able to draw in i knew i wouldnt have to run to the barn just utt a kettlo of tomatoes hail come to the boll i brought in beets from the garden by the pailful now they arc uafoly stow ed away in the form of beet pickles one day i had a friend helping mo and we had more fun thuit a picnic making tomato juice i had u bottle capper which i had borrowed neither of us hnd over used one before or seen such a thing in operation how- over it didnt look too complicated so wo tacklod the job with the utmost confidence wo experimented first by capping an empty bottle pressing down hard on the bottle thon 1 tested the cap it lifted off quite easily without the use of an openor we tried again press hard press real hard said my friend but i was scared i thought if i pressed any harder the battle would fly to pieces however my friend was less nervous so she tried this time with a bottle of julco she pressed hard all right so hard we couldnt release the bottle afterwards so we took the bottle off the stand with the cappor sthklng to it then we hud ii tup ofwur i had hold of tho bottle of juice my friend the cup per we were almost helpless with laughter hut eventually cot the two things separated and the cap stuyed put as did those on twentyfour other bottles isnt it wonderful how laughter lightens the work and what a bless ing it is thut we can often und some thing to laugh at what a world this would be if there wore no fun and no laughter dear knows there is little enough to laugh at in the world to day but thank heaven the capacity is still there daughter is home this weukend and she had some harrowing stories to toll concerning the return of wounded men from the battle fields and repatriates from tho far east true stories that she had learnt of at first hand from relatives or friends of the returned men and women stor ies that are better not published but which make one realise that tho sacri fices and hardships of this war ore anything hut equally shared that is inevitable but when we hear of in stances of unbelievable suffering we should at least hove the grace to re mind ourselves that only the force of circumstances have made other people victims rather than ourselves the news from all the battle fronts today u almost too good to be true what i like to hear best is stories of our own men being released after long years of prison life and of people in former enemy occupied countries being free at last to lead their lives as they see tit the feeding of wheat to live stock and poultry has exceeded the use of wheat for human consumption in can ada during four of the five years of war and during the crop year 1943- 44 animals ate twice as much wheat as did human beings states the quart erly review of coarse grains this conversion of wheat to live stock feed ing has been a wartime development of note not only in canada but also in the united states during the five years before the war the average amount of wheat fed to live stock and poultry annually in canada was 32000000 bushels against human food requirement of approx imately 44000000 bushels in the crop year 1d4344

moat strik ing change has taken place in the prairie provinces where the i product ion of milk in four years increased more than 12 per cent this was due in part to more favorable prices of dairy products in relation to grain prices since the start of ithe war many prairie farmers have changed from straight sraln growing to mixed farm ing with the result that creamery but ter production particularly has in creased to such an extent that in 11043 production in the three prairie prov inces made up more than 38 per cent of the total produced in canada with the increase in grain prices

established to prevent too much milk jpuntf into butter at tlie expense of other important milk products and to insure a bur share to everyone the rationing of butter was influenced by the tact that it has less nutritive value than some other milk products and be cause we set a generous supply of fats or their food equivalent in other iorms to rt a proper frulmmt of ccsv sumption between various milk products hattawaat mwdi-c- and to ensure that butter a put into filpjf flf storage for winter use when production ii i mhu mm drops it is necessary to reduce the ration m from time to time the
