BERRIES While Joe Martin, the hired man was cutting wheat q this morning I slipped across the back , meadow and came out in what we call the slash. Three years ago I sold a .stand of tim­ ber there, with the purpose in mind of clearing another three acres. Mrs. Phil derided .the idea, putting forth the contention that I didn’t half farm the other eighty some odd clear acres that go to make up the tillable soil at Lazy Meadows. Mrs. Phil really wanted a berry patch as our old one, after many years of close picking, was becoming a shambles. When she dissuaded me from clearing up the slash, I knew just what she was thinking. There on the neat round piles of brush, left by the timber-men, there would grow up orderly rows of berry bushes. Once more berry-picking .would become an orderly task in place of a job where a wire mask as a protection from barbs and nettles was an absolute ne­ cessity. This morning when I hit the slash it was to find straight, green bushes laden down with some of the finest berries I’ve ever seen. One couldn’t find an excuse to tramp through all the bushes trying Jo find the big ones. These were all of a prime size. There’s really something fascinat­ ing to picking berries. Each berry has an individual taste and ‘flavor. Some are tart . . . others spicy . . . some sweet . . . and then to add zest to the menu you will find a blackber­ ry bush. To be appreciated you must pick the berries for yourself. This morn­ ing I tramped into the sugar camp, and, finding an old sap bucket, filled it over two-thirds of the way up with berries. By the time I accomplished this it was dinner time. Like a pirate of the Spanish Main I took' the booty to my fair one, and asked her to fill nappies with the berries for dessert at the noon meal. It’s a real thrill of the farm to be able to sprinkle just the right amount of sugar over your berries . . . then cover the dish with cream , . , rich, thick and so delicious. Then, with fresh home-made bread and butter, you have a dish that even a King’s tfhef can’t equal. One dishful is but an entree for a second helping, and, as was the^ case, today, a third dishful. We- had scarcely commenced cut­ ting and stocking again in the wheat field before I saw Mrs. Phil laden down with a milk pail and a small pail for picking in. As a protection from the sun she had one of those floppy, old-fashioned straw hats with a gingham ribbon. Then she disap­ peared in the slash among the berry Uts lies. I did try to concentrate on that wheat field- Religiously I set myself to thinking in terms of yield and what we would plant on the field in the year, to come, I computed, mentally, the dollars when the wheat would be harvested. But it was no use. I had berries on the. mind/ I was getting confused between the berries and'the wheat. Joe was hailed to go on cutting, while I took a turn at stodking. Then it was easy to work over to that south-west corner of the field and sort of absent-mindedly poke over to where’Mrs. Phil was literally shaking the bushes into her pail. While I revelled in an orgy of ber­ ries, the thought occurred to me of how puny man is after all. He works and experiments with all kinds of fer­ tilizers and mixtures, and cross-breeds plants . . . and grafts . . . and. then produces a berry that he figures is hard to beat. But Mother Nature goes on in the way that she’s been doing for centur­ ies and gives u.s berries that have a taste that’s unparalleled. In case you didn’t know it . . .. wild raspberries are a favorite of mine. HOW TO KEEP. BUTTER FRESH IN THE HOME No matter how good butter may be when purchased, care should be taken to retain its sweet, delicious flavour. Butter should be stored in a cool, dry place away from any foods which have a distinct flavour or ’odour as it read­ ily absorbs foreign flavours. It should be kept in a covered container or be left in the parchment paper in which it is purchased. The best place to keep butter is in the refrigerator. If one is not avail­ able the butter should be stored in as cool a place as possible. Butter melts quickly at high temperature and dur­ ing the hot weather, in the absence of a refrigerator, the suggestion is given to tie a cord securely around each print of wrapped butter to keep the wrapper in place. Then put the prints in a crock or other container and cov­ er with a plate, weighted down with a stone or brick. The next step is to make a brine of salt and water, tis^d in the proportion of *2 cups salt to 1 gallon of boiling water. Cover the but­ ter with the cold brine and place the crock in a cool room, Add more brine if necessary front time to time, to keep the butter covered with the salt solu­ tion, Another suggestion for storing a few prints of butter for a short time is to wrap the paper-covered prints in cloths wrung out of a salt and water solution and keep the butter in a cool. place, Butter may also be stored sat-I isfactorily by packing it in a well- scalded crock or jar, covering the but­ ter with a clean white cloth wrung out of boiling water, then spreading ’ a thin layer of salt over the cloth.'
