Every person who has ever dwelt in England re- members the familiar cry of the street bun vendors on Good Friday. "One a penny buns, Two o penny buns One a penny, two a penny, Hot 'Cross Buns!" Hot Cross Buns are yeast mixtures -which are marked with a cross just before being placed in the oven to be baked. Ye'ars ago, they were sold in baskets all day long by poor people- both young and old-except during church services, when they left their baskets,ust outside the vestry door. * * * * In ancient times, superstition ran -these buns baked on Good Friday could be kept for a year without be- coming mouldy-and that a few grat- ings of the buns in water would cure any ailment. * * * Generals Directions For Making Rolls 1. Scald all liquid to destroy, all Micro-organisms which might inter- fere with the action of the yeast plant. 2. Add fat, sugar and salt to the hot liquid and. let it cool until it is, lukewarm. 3. Add yeast cake when it is thor- ,otighly dissolved in lukewarm 'water to which a teaspoon of sugar is add- ed. 4. Add the flour, sifted before measuring. K. M.

The straight dough method of mixing is preferable to the sponge Method. Add to the liquid-yeast all the flour to be used and knead thor- oughly until, it- no -longer sticks to the board, .l?ut into a greased bowl large enough: to hold at least three times the bulk of the dough. Grease top of dough and cover, Set in a warm. place away from extreme beat or draughters. Let dough rise until treble in size, Remove dough to board and bring top over the bottom and punch down, A second rising will improve texture and flavor of the baked product, Shape into rolls, stretch so that the tops will be perfectly smoth and the bottom seam well tucked in, Cover and set in a warm place to rise twice the size. Bake in a hot electric oven. * * *, RECIPES Hot Cross Buns 1 cup scalded milk % tsp. salt cup sugar 1/4 cup lard 1 yeast cake, dissolved in '4 cup lukewarm water 41/2 cups bread flour 3 egg yolks Y4 cup butter Add scalded milk to salt, sugar, lard and biuter, When lukewarm, add yeast and one and one-half cups flour. Beat well and let rise until very light. Add egg yolks and the remaining flour. Knead lightly and let rise until double in bulk. Roll out dough to one inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place on a greased pan one inch apart. Let rise. Glaze the sur- face of each with egg white diluted in water. Cut a cross on the top of each with a sharp knife. Bake in an elec- trio oven for twenty minutes at a temperature of 425 degrees. Note: I cup of zaisins may be add- ed to dough. Standard Rolls 2 cups scalded milk 3 tbs. butter 2 tbs. sugar 2 eggs (optional) 2 tsp. salt 1 yeast cake dissolved in VI cup lukewarm water Flour (about 6 cups) Add butter, salt and sugar to milk.

Set on a board, in the heated warming closet of the electric range with the switch "Off". Let rise until double in bulk, Bake in an electric oven at 425 degrees for 12 - 15 min- utes. Note: Part of the dough may be used and the rest covered and kept in the electric refrigerator to be used days later. Makes 30. to 36 rolls. To reduce time, shape rolls as soon as mixed. * * * * Take A Tip : Precautions in Yeast Mixtures 1. Salt improves the flavour of breads but too much retards the activ- ity of the yeast. 2. Potato water hastens the yeast action ,therefore the place in which the dough is set to rise should not be too warm. The baked bread or rolls do riot,get stale as quickly as when water is used. Minerals are also sup- plied through the use of this liquid. 3. Remember that dry yeast must be dissolved in warm water and set' aside for an hour before it is added to batter, 4. Too much sugar slackens or softens dough. Decrease the amount of liquid if you desire a sweet pro- duct. * * * * QUESTION BOX Mrs, C.W.D, Asks; "Is it neces- sary to use iodized salt? It does not seem to have as much flavour, thus a great deal is used in our home!' ANSWER: Yes, especially in the winter when greens and salt water fish are not serived often, It is a good source of necessary iodine needed es- pecially in the prevention of •goitre, Mrs, D,C,M, Asks: "Is baking soda added to boiling vegetables supposed to improve flavour?" ANSWER: No, it does not im- prove flavour or quality. In fact it destroys 'the necessary vitamin con- tent. Mrs, M. J, Sugesta: That instead Of serving eggs frequently during the Easter week-end, you might keep the custom but save for Britain; separate the eggs, poach the yolks and serve on waffles, and save the whites for meringues. * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.

Have 'you ever noticed the crows that seem to flock in The elm trees along the laneway? I maintain that we have one crow who has been coin- ing back to this farm for ten years. He crows in a hoarse, derisive way and as soon as he has sounded the call his faithful flock set up a wailing that can be, heard for miles. They Cluster down in the swamp at the back of the Higgins place. You hear them in council all day long, No doubt they are talking over the happenings of the winter months 'and, planning for the season ahead. No matter how much you may detest the Crow under ordin- ary conditions, it always 'gives a sense of good feeling to hear them in the spring. We have a hardy robin who always seems to manage to get back to Lazy Meadows and just avoid a heavy snowstorm. Two weeks ago we has a blustering gale that lasted for a day and then seemed wafted away by a brief, warm day. Next• day the little fellow was sitting out on the old cedar tie post in the centre of the back yard, When Mrs. Phil went out with some bread crumbs he flitted off in to the big pine . . . but he was soon back strutting around and gloating over his treasure of food. • Patricia Ann. was chuckling after dinner. When we looked she was 'standing on a chair watching the robin on the outside of the window sill. Talk about strut, Here was the world traveler back to gloat in his experience over the old stay-at-home. Proud and vain as he was Tabby almost put an end to it, She edged along and finally made a spring for him. He was. off like a flash, her clawing paw just mis- sing his tail. Later we saw him back on. the post but with a wary eye out for any patrolling cats. The hens Cluster around in the sun., shine on the sandy strip beside the driving shed. It drys Off early in the season and the sun of two days will almost leave' it dusty. Ethiopia •our black rooster preens his shiny feathers and chuckles excitedly when he finds • - some' speck of food. That brings a flock of faithful hens clustering around him. What a fuss he makes about that food, The larger his congregation the more talking he seems to do. Fin- ally he will pick up . toy with it for a minute . . . swallow it and walk off leaving the hens to find their own food. A sugar bush is a great place to feel the approach of spring, Rings of snow cluster in some sections of the bush. Little rivers of water flood down through the gullies and steam from the boiling pans goes wafting- skyward only to fade into nothing. Protected from the wind you can feel only the moist, warm air that seems: to brush against your cheek as you walk along, . Have you ever had a meal in the bush in the spring. Eggs boiled in. the hot sap . . . hot muffins wrapped; in layers of towels to keep them. warm ... potatoeS baked in the ashes. -- of the roaring fire . . . fresh, warm. maple syrup . it's a treat for a. king. Then while the pans bubble and. boil you sit and smoke, knowing that the sap pails will soon be running over but glorying in that after meal satis-. faction, We'll have more skifts of snow ...• we'll have cold days . . . and yet- spring must soon be here. There'll' be warm winds playing up over the- drying fields and the, gushing water- in the gullies will dry away and little- dust storms will eddy up over the fez.. tile fields. We'll be seeding soon and= another round of hard work will start..

Boyle "SPRING' NOTES" We may be rushing the season but when you stand on the gangway of the barn and see 'the smoke pouring up fi-om the sugar shanties on, the con- cession you begin to feel that spring, or at least a reasonable substitute must be here. There is something fascinating about spring. You feel it as you stand on the edge of the bank and feel the river pounding ferociously away at the bank. Look back up the river for as far' as the eye can see and there is a swirling mad eddy of water and ice and debris. The winter-locked waters are enjoying their liberation and rush- ing along at a terrific speed into a vast unknown. They tear and destroy and take away with them a great deal of our good soil. They flood our farms and villages and cause no end of inconvenience. Flood waters are something like a mob that has been released from bondage.
