HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1927-02-03, Page 7How to Dress Fish. .Do you fires® fish w Just clean 'em? There's d vast dlfferenw. A properly dressed fish is pttoactlvc to tho eye and proves far more appetizing when served than one that just got cleaned s'onwlww, Begin to rare tor your fish a® soon as you remove them from tho hook. If yon wish to string your take specie®, such as bass an-;l piekere-l do it proper­ ly. Don’t pass tlto string through the gills - that d rowna them. Rather, pas® the stringing needle through Lath lip®, btrung in this manner a fish will live for hour® and swim around th© boat in comfort. Trout and ether delicate fish require careful attention if you would keep them in gwil condition for the pan. Kill your trout at once by striking it a sharp blow on the head with a knife handle. If you want your trout to retain its color and form as much as possible after cleaning don’t silt it down the belly as is 'usually done. Instead, just cut the small V-sliaped piece of flesh Immediately in front of tho trout's pectoral fins, which will separate the belly from the head but allow the head to remain on the fish. Now you can remove tho gills and you will find that the gullet, stomach and intestines will come out in one pieces When you have romoved these or­ gana, wipe off any blood that may ap­ pear, with a damp cloth. Staff the stomach cavity with grass or fern. But do not use water under any circum­ stances as It® action on flesh quickly causes decomposition. Wrap the trout in a piece of oiled paper and place it carefully in your creel. Never wt the fins off such fish as bass and perch or weakflsh and other salt water species. If j'ou use a shears and cut them off close to the body you simply cut the fin bones in two and leavo the sharp ends in the flesh. These are the offenders that get vi edged between your palate and esophagus and make you put jn a huriy call for the family doctor. In­ stead of cutting off the fins, use a sharp bladed pen knife.and make a slit olcjigfeide each fin, and parallel with it. Then grasp the end of the fin with the knife blade a.nd thumb and lift the whole thing out, .bones and all. Only the ribs anil .backbone remain and they seldom give you any trouble. •—Field and Stream, -----------❖----;----Garnet Wheat Lives Up to Expectations. Garnet wheat is making good .every claim advanced by the experts of the - Itoderal Department of Agriculture. Hon. W. R. Mothefwill, Minister of . Agriculture, announced that reports from scores of farmers who grew Gar­ net last year are unanimous on the one vital claim made on behalf of the wheat—that it ripens ten days earlier than Marquis. The yields also have been very satisfactory. Along the northern edge of the agri­ cultural belt in the three 'Prairie Pro­ vinces, where the frost menace is so great as to make wheat-growing very uncertain, Garnet wheat has come through, splendidly. Last year, while other varieties of grain were nipped and rendered unsalable except for chicken feed, Garnet was a good sam­ ple of marketable product. Extraordinary yield® are reported from many youths. T. Bain, of Hen- ribourg, north of Prince Albert, a sol­ dier ’ settler, struggling along with 12 acres of land available for wheat, was given Garnet seed by the Department of Agriculture. He sowed it on the 12 acres and harvested 64 bushel® to the acre. The market value of his crop was about $2,000. Mr. Motherwell declared that there could, no longer be a doubt a® to the benefit of Garnet. It has rolled back the northern boundary of agriculture in Canada from 100 to 150 miles, bring- e Ing all the meadow and lake country from Port Nelson and Port Churchill to the Rocky Mountains within the dominion of the plow. The one defect of the grain, said Mr. Motherwell, was that it had a slight off-tint in the coloring. How­ ever, the millers always bleached the flour before selling, so that this was not a serious defect. The Artist’s Trees. From an artistic point of view, a tree loses Utile by being stripped of it® leaves. The bare branches of win­ ter show drawing and reveal beauty of line and form. The strong, coarse edge of the white oak, ’ the angular twist of the black locust, the rambling reach of the sycamore, the irregular or unbroken fork of the neglected ap­ ple and cherry are illustrations to the point. That we oftener admire the drooping elm,- or the spread-broom ef­ fect of the maple or theround ball top of the horse chestnut, proves merely that our range’of vision is limited. Still even these—tlio commonest tree® of the lawn or the pasture—will have a peculiar beauty which only winter can fully reveal to us.

Much Suffering Can be Avoided Through the Use of Dr. Wil­ liams’ Pink Pills. The most fateful year® in a woman’s life are those between fprty-fivo and fifty. Many women enter this term under depressing conditions; through overwork, worry, or a watery condition of tho blood, and they suffer heavily. Among tho commonest symptoms are headaches, palpitations, dizziness, backaches-, depression and other well recognized disturbances of tho health which Allow that tho blow! requires attention, Women stand in need, of rich red blood-all their lives-, but never 11)01*0 s o than at middle age, when the nerves are also weak and overwrought.

An Australian engineer, Anton Lutsch by name, has contrived a machine to be fastened to a man’s shoulders, fitted with bat-like wings to sustain his weight and driven by a gasoline engine which rests against the man’s back. Two helicopter screws peep up over the flyer’s shoulders, and they are in­ tended to enable him to rise quietly and almost vertically into the air. The apparatus weighs only elglity-eight pounds, and Herr Lutsch hopes to re­ duce that weight by twenty pounds by substituting aluminum for Iron wliere- ever possible.

I begin To see the speech-hoard of all time And measure its demesne sublime When I recall, "Let there be light,” Thereafter, on, a® opals in my sight, I may survey all speech to know, I How to Tdl a Classi In HterMute th® word classic was originally limited to Greek and Latin pros-p and poetry., it has now -come to mean any piece of literature whose quality Is such that it has survived for fifty or a hundred y».p.r® and is by common consent JW-'ded as so good aq to bo permanent. A literary classic should possess one or ail of the follow­ ing .qualities: 1. It should refill the mode of thought and the custom® manners i of Us time. The travels of Herodotus, the dia-' logues of Socrates, and the novels of Jane Austen are examples. 2. It should be written in a beauti­ ful and striking style. Lincoln’s .Gettysburg Speech I® an example. 3. It should spring from and appeal to a cultivated imagination. The poems of Keats are an example. 4. It should be a contribution to the thought of the world and should stimu- ' -late the thought of the world. The essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson are an example, 5. It should possess a universal human interest and express all phases of human experience. The Old Testament and Shake­ speare’s plays are examples-. No one generation can determine what classics it is producing. The final judgment must and will be pro­ nounced by succeeding generations. Walt Whitman and Lincoln were look­ ed on with contempt by many of their most highly educated contemporaries. And yet Whitman’s "O Captain! My Captain!” and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Speech will live as long a® the Eng­ lish language lives. Nor does .a classic have to be “high­ brow stuff.” If It is a genuine intelli­ gent and witty picture of a certain aspect of society, even a best-seller may becom-o a classic; although I am bound to say that most of our modern best-sellers have very little chance of achieving this immortality. Artificial and pretentious writing ifever make® a classic. Sincerity, simplicity, and spontaneity are qualities that every true classic—whether In music, paint­ ing, prose or poetry— possesses; all others pretending to the titles are counterfeits. Net nobody hoodwink you into supposing that the classics are pompous, stilted, and boreeome. If they were, nobody would read them— mot even_your teachers and professors. —Lawrence F. Abbott in Tho Outlook. ----------$--------- A Practical Hint for Children’s Socks and Stockings. Always try to mend the children’s socks and stockings before they are washed'.. This applies also to all stock­ ings, but It is specially necessary where there la a large weekly backet of mending. Where there is a family of boyB the inevitable football stockings will re­ quire much attention. It is a good plan to ravel, th^rieg-of an old stock­ ing in order to mend the others with that yarn. Sometimes a patch cut from the toot will effectually trans­ form a hopelessly large hole in the heel to a neat and successful mend. Lay the piece under the hole to be mended, darn it down all round on the rig^t side and cut away superfluous material. Do not cut too closely, how­ ever, and' if possible press with a cool iron after washing. Great care should be observed in washing children’s little white woolen socles, tor they should not be allowed to get smaller and smaller as will cer­ tainly happen with careless washing. Nash them quickly, one at a time, in warm (not hot) water with soap lath­ er. Only when necessary to remove some stain from a brown shoe or from mud splashes should the soap be •rubbed on them. Rinse them in water about the same temperature, softened with a shake of soap. Then squeeze out the water, never wring it out with a twisting motion-of both hands, and' finally squeeze it in .a towel. When all are ready to dry, hang them up by the toe®, each one sepa­ rately, in a draft or in a warm place, but nevei’ before a hot fire. See that the sock hangs In the shape of the sock as worn, not as folded when new. Endeavor to stretch. each one, while drying, from heel to toe; if possible, do it several times. Pull hard. This will keep its original shape and one will be surprised at the increased length of usefulness* obtained thereby. 1 of Canada Pay Tribute to Aluminum Modern Metal ROM Windsor, Ontario, to Hudson’s Bay, from Halifax to the Rockies, RED ROSE TEA' within the last few weeks has scored an extraordinary increase in sales. It is because we have stopped using paper pack­ ages, and are again packing this finest of teas in the old, familiar Aluminum package of years go. The reception it has been given demonstrates beyond all doubt that housewives of Canada recog­ nize Aluminum as the perfect container. For more than thirty years we have been experi­ menting with packages — trying lead, paper and Aluminum—seeking always a material that would protect and be worthy of Red Rose quality. But it was only after Red Rose has been offered to the public in all these packages—first lead, then Aluminum, then paper—that the great advantages of Aluminum were proven. Aluminum keeps out moisture, preserves the flavor and protects the quality. Paper packages, on the contrary, absorb moisture which occasionally impairs the quality.
