Clarke Last Thursday my, chickens were "due to arrive--we ordered a fairly late hatch because I am fondly hop- ing to raise them with the electric brooder, The pen had been freshly washed, sprayed and disinfected and on Wednesday morning it was my intention to run the brooder all day, Then came Wednesday morning-- six inches of snow and wet fleecy flakes: still falling--the worst pos: sible kind of day for keeping a pen warm and dry, to say nothing of the discomfort to myself when trail- I was really desperate. Finally I phoned the hatchery and to my Tglief the hatchery man said he could hold the chicks for a few days, He is holding them .yet--weather condi- tions having improved very little since last Wednesday. There have also been several power interrup- tions to still further increase the hazsris of chicken brooding by electricity, * * * The chickens off my mind--pro tem--1 soon found another way of putting fn time, Bob had business in Hamilton so I went along with him to do some shopping. 1 did sonie shopping all right. I warned Partner before I left that I might come back with a hat. And I did. 1 thought it was a nice quiet num-" ber--quite conservative in fact--but when I put it on to show Partner ¢ he looked aghast and. said--"You are not really going to wear it, are you?" Men are so funny! : * * »- ~ Except for hats, of which there were plenty, [ soon found shopping is still a nightmare. - There are things that can now be purchased quite easily -- at a price -- other things that seem to be even harder to get than formerly. For instance, there are pots and pans galore, but. try getting a piece of kitchen towel- ling. And print--I saw very nice cotton print--at a dollar a yard. Table oileloth--was-- non-existent.

'Another place where I shop- ped hopefully,. but unsuccessfully, was. the "Five and Ten". And even there the crowd was conspicuous by its absence.

TABLE TALKS . en Whipped c ream For Festive Fare The home economists of the Con: sumer section, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture say that there are several factors 'which influence the successful whipping of cream, such 'as age, temperature and rich ness. Cream for. whipping should contain about 30% butter-fat and should be from 12 to 24 hours old. It will whip more easily if thor- oughly chilled to below 40 deg. F. Do not whip for too long-a time, otherwise: the fat globules may collect and form butter, Cream should at least double its bulk when whipped. The fat contained in cream is in an easily digested form and there- fore may be used to add richness and flavour to the normal diet, as well as that of the invalid or con- valescent, Whipped cream may be used as a garnish or as one of the ingredi- ents in fruit or jelly desserts, ice- creams and mousses. When freez- ing ice-cream or mousses in a mechanical refrigerator it is neces- sary to incorporate air into the mixture to give a smooth, velvety texture. The medium. most fre- quently used for this purpose fs whipped cream Always freeze ice- cream and mousses with the tems, perature control set at the coldest point, - ° ' Coffee Tapioca Fluff 4 tablespoons fine tapioca 14 teaspoon salt 14 cup seedless raisins 2 cups coffee 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup whipping ¢ream Cook tapioca, salt and raisins with coffee in top of double boiler until tapioca is clear--about 15 minutes.
