WHEN KIDDIES ENTERTAIN By Betty Barclay Many women find it difficult to plan a menu for a children’s party. Dishes must be tasteful. They must be light. They must contain foods the children are familiar with — and that they like. A main course 'dish; a few cookies; sandwiches and mints; a glass of> fruit juice or milk, and a light dessert will fill the bill. Here are two recipes that should be valuable. The dessert requires no eggs, no baking and no boiling; is light; is delicious and is healthful. Try these recipes at your next children’s party: Meat and Potato Croquettes 1 1 1 Vs 1 1 slice onion tablespoon butter or butter" substitute tablespoon flour cup milk Salt and pepper cup cooked, chopped meat cup mashed potatoes Egg and crumbs Cold rice or hominy may be substi­ tuted for potato in making these cro­ quettes, and fish may be used instead of meat. Mince the onion and put in­ to the pan with butter or butter sub­ stitute. When the onion is yellowed, stir until smooth, then add milk, salt and pepper, and boil, stirring all the time. Stir in the finely chopped meat and add cold or hot mashed potato. Spread on a plate and, when cool enough, form it into little rolls or balls, dip in flour, then into beaten egg, roll in crumbs, and fry in hot fat until they are a delicate brown. Vanilla Rennet-Custard package vanilla rennet powder pintmilk cup whipping cream cup sugar 1 1 Vs 14 Make rennet-custard according to directions on package. Then chill in refrigerator. When ready to serve, whip the cream, adding sugar and mixing well. Squeeze through a pas­ try tube and decorate top of each ren­ net-custard.

Too much flour will make a dry and crumbly, bread solid heavy, sauces thick and pasty. cake and SPRING SALAD DRESSINGS Barclay salad days. We and. flavor of all can corral at this By Betty Spring days are crave the crispness the fresh foods we time of year, and salad twice a day finds flavor with most of us. For din­ ner, plan a simple combination of let­ tuce, and other greens with tomato or cucmber added. For luncheon a more substantial combination of vegetables or fruit may be served as the main­ stay. It’s the dressing that makes the sal­ ad. You can make distinctive dress­ ings in five minutes’ time with sweet­ ened condensed milk. Tust add seas­ onings and lemon juice or vipegar, with egg yolk if you want, mix all together for a few minutes, and you have a smooth, creamy dressing that tops off the fruit or vegetable salad to perfection.

The age at which a tree can be suc­ cessfully and profitably grafted is a controversial subject upon which op­ inions differ, but in the opinion of R. D. L. Bligh, Assistant in Pomology, Dominion Experimental Station, at Kentville, N.S., the top-working of large trees, though possible, likely to be unprofitable. The main limbs in their lower portions where the graft­ ing should be done are so large that the grafts set have little likelihood of good unions resulting. If these same limbs are followed out toward their extremities to where wood of proper cleft-grafting size (2 to 2% inches in diameter, exists, so many branches must be grafted so high up in the tree that the operation becomes ex­ pensive, impracticable and unprofit­ able. The plan sometimes practised of cutting off an old tree and setting a ring of scions around the stump is likewise usually followed within a few years by the die back of the scions, blowing out, and the old stump hav­ ing to be removed. The removal of these old. lcirg*e trees ut the outset ciiid replacing them with a young tree of the variety desired is recommended. Fruit trees up to ten years of age are best adapted to grafting. The grafting method to employ will be de­ pendent upon the trees’ size. The smaller trees two or three years frot^i planting may be budded, stub-, side-, or whip-grafted on the young tree’s scaffold branches. Trees between four and seven years may be stub-, side-, porcupine-, or cleft-grafted, or any combination of these methods, while trees from seven to ten years from planting may be changed over quick­ ly by a cleft-, or a combination of cleft-, stub-, and porcupine-grafting. Cleft-grafting for top-working apple trees can be done to best advantage from April to June, the optimum time being when the buds are beginning to swell. In the grafting over ofplums I and cherries the grafting should be done early in April. The whip- and tongue-, stub-, and side-grafting on smaller trees may be made while stock and scion are still dormant, or may be made with dormant scions on trees that are beginning to leaf out. Porcupine-grafting is best done with dormant scions when the bark of the stock begins to slip. Trees to be grafted should be healthy and making vigorous growth. The scions are (with the exception of two-year-old wood sometimes used in porcupine-grafting) taken from the growth made by the tree the previous year. They should be dormant when cut; the buds should be well develop­ ed. After it- is cut the scion wood may be stored in damp moss or sawdust in a cool place until used. i SCUFFLER FOR OPEN­ ING POTATO DRILLS (Experimental Farms News) A common method of planting the farm potato patch is to plough,in the sets. In that case they may be care­ fully placed along the heel of the turned furrow; they may be placed next the landside or they may be dropped carelessly across the furrow sole. In the two former instances backaches may result while even with care in placement the rows will not be straight unless the ploughing. is straight. Crooked furrows impede subsequent cultivation and increase hoeing. On . the Dominion Experimental Sub-station at Beaverlodge, Alberta, states W. D. Albright, Superintend­ ent, the practice is first to prepare the land well then mark it out with .a sled marker tracking three-foot rows. Three and a half might be better for some varieties. The side arms are then removed from the scuffler, which has two teeth left, a narrow one and a wider one straight behind it. A team is hitched to the scuffler and the operator sights between the horses, passing once or twice along each mark and bearing down heavily on the handles. A V-shaped furrow six or eight inches deep is thus opened but some dirt drops back to that the sets are actually placed about 3% or 4 inches deep, with a little*loosened soil beneath each one. The sets may be dropped in a straight line without the operator bending his back. A pressure of the foot embeds the set firmly in the soil. Even if the sled mark's are not perfectly straight the furrows can be made practically so where the scuffler is driven twice along the row. Straight rows are the mark of a farmer or gardener. To fill the furrows the side may be put on the scuffler so throw out, and run between the A little attention with the hoe will covet the odd set that has been miss* cd. good teeth as to rows,
