Got Some Smelts
A carload of local enthusiasts hied
to the north of Kincardine a couple
of nights last week to try their luck
at fishing in the fresh water creeks as
they empty into Lake Huron. On the
first venture only the lowly seekers
felt prey to spear and net. but on the
second try the lads brought home a
nice catch of smelt which are con-
sidered a delicacy on any table. —

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. M. G. asks: What stakes a
stew in which the meat has, been
browned turn a grey colour?
Answer: Add measured boiling
water. Too much water or cold water
may be the cause. In cases where the
stew is thickened with flour the
starch may not be cooked enough.
Mrs. C, M. asks: 'why did the en-
closed procedure of staking peach
jam with commercial pectin produce
a separated mixture?
Answer: The ingredients and
methods are correct. The important
advice for perfect jam malting is
the use of standard measuring cup
and a full rolling boil for -the exact
time. We also decided that a metal
spoon is best for scum -skimming.
Mrs. J. D. asks: The brine does
not cover the shredded cabbage in
the crock for kraut and it has begun
to darken. How can this be prevent-
ed?
Answer: Remove darkened portion
of food. Press down with potato
masher. Add a small amount of
water if juice does not cover cab-
bage. Spoon off scum daily for about
two weeks, rinse plate and cloth in
clear water.
Mrs. M. J. asks: How to pasteurize
milk .at the summer cottage:
Answer: Make raw milk safe to
drink by boiling. Put it in a heavy
saucepan; bring it of the boiliug point
and hold it there for only two minutes.
Be sure to keep it from burning by
stirring constantly. Cool by pouring it
in eold water. chilling it as quickly as
possible.
Mrs. B. T. asks: Why does home-
made ice creast form a clear layer of
oce at The bottom?
Answer. Ice creant should have
been taken out two or three times
and well beaten during the freezing.
