the driving shed that has to be cleaned
up, All winter long we have been
mg stuff up inside there, The drill and
the cultivatOr are at the back end, bar.,
ricaded in by a variety of other mach-
inery, I mustn't forget to take the
sling ropes down from where they
were strung for the butchering,
My wife comes out and strolls
around the house to see if the tulip
bulbs are coming up, She takes a
long look at the fence beside the gar,,
den plot. It was taken down when we
brought the wood up for buzzing. The
barnyard gate has quite a slant on it
as well. The truck bringing the pigs
out to take them to the railroad station
slipped on the ice and did a neat job
of messing up the gate. I should fix
it up.
The pump handle broke in January
and it has been doing service ever
since wrapped up rather bulkily with
some fence wire, I've cut my gloves on
it twice. By rights, it should be fixed,
I wonder for a time about the piece
of white ash that's up over the gran-
ary, It's a cinch that it will have to
be fixed.
On the other hand, the sun is warm
and almost balmy. There seems to
be a number of birds flitting around
the ,orchard. The bull is rattling his
chain down in the stable, obviously
anxious to get out and shat-e in the
delights of a warm day.
I should be working guess, but
it's such a pleasant day, it seems a
shame to work. take a stroll back
the laneway and see how the fences
are holding up. Tomorrow, may not
be fine and I'll get at the work then
for certain.
Hello Homemakers! There may be
many ways to serve fish, but baked in
aluminum foil will suit me anytime.
The main reason is perhaps 'the good
flavour we get when we eat it at the
table in preference to the- aroma in
the house . at 'bedtime whenever fish
is fried. .Fish is really steam-cooked
when you wrap it in cookery parch-
ment foil or paper so you d6 not see
anybrownness but we smother it with
egg or tomato sauce anyway,
Leftover fish makes a favourite
dish in the form of cakes or loaf. You
combine cooked fish and mashed pot-
atoes well, beating until fluffy and free
from lumps. Then chill the mixture
until it can be handled -easily when
shaping cling cakes. Use only sufficient
fat to cover the bottom of the frying
pan. When you look over our recipe
you will see that fish cakes are easy
to make. And if you make your meal
preparations well in advance the pat-
ties are better. They may be mixed in
the morning, covered and set, in the
electric refrigerator. Then at dinner
time they can be cooked in 8 minutes.
Even the sauce to serve with them
may be cooked' in advance and reheat
ed while the cakes are browning.
BAKED''STUFFED FILLETS

tablespoon salt to 1 cup milk). Place

Dip 2 more fillets in salted milk
and place. on top of the stuffing. Wrap
paper over fish. Bake in very hot elec-
tric oven (450 degrees) for 15 minu-
tes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees and
bake 25 minutes longer" Serve with
tomato sauce or egg sauce. Yield:
about & servings.

My grandfather always described
things in flights of words, which, al-
though they were simple, seemed to
execute with brilliant strokes the im-
agery of what he was talking about.
He used to say, "Winter is an old
grey wolf and spring is a red, red
robin flying in the sunshine." Later.
I , heard an elderly Indian describe
winter as a grey wolf and just last
week I read a book by the late Peter
McArthur in which there is one of
his poems about the "Wolf of the
Winter Wind."
I like a spring day or a pre-spring
day when the wind has a soft feel of
a pussy-willow to it; you can hear a
dog out on: a very early expedition,
lookng for giound hogs on the side
of a sandy hill. Th children are play-
ing outside and their happy shouts echo
and reech. Over on the farm next
to ours, there's the sound of hammer-.
ing as Higgins makes certain that the
roof is protected against potential
spring rains.
I have a lot of work to do. There's
