Honey For Cooking
In experimental work on the uses
of honey in cooking, conducted at
the Central Experimental Farm, it
has been found that cakes, cookies,
etc., made with honey remain fresh
and moist for a much longer period
than when sugar is used. Where
mild flavoured honeys were used to
replace sugar, the flavour of the
finished pr'odt'tct was much. improv-
ed. It must be remembered,, how-
ever, that approximately one-fifth
of the honey is water, therefore, the
liquid portion of the recipe must be
reduced by one-fifth. The sweeten-
ing power of honey is at least equal
to that of an equal quantity of
sugar.

is well known that Danish and
Irish buttershave long held their own
in the Old Country markets, and that
;late comers like New Zealand, Aus-
tralla and Canada have had to take
second place. The reason for this is
the system employed. Denmark and
IreIand send their whole milk to the
factory where it is separated and
the butter made, whilst the other
countries employ the separated meth_
a, that is the milk is separated from

then sent on to the creamery. Both
'*methods have their advantages and
also their disadvantages. Where the
,whole milk is shipped the separate

that sometimes this milk is the source

keeps up a steady flow of milk to the
factory. On the other hand the op-
ponents of the separator claim that
cream has to be held over in many
eases so long that super acidity is
caused, and to overcome this the
butter maker has to use neutraliza-
tion. Anyone who has had anything
to do with a creamery will admit this,
but in a dairying country like New
Zealand, they counter this attack by
claiming as an advantage that it
brings the distant farmer within
range of the creamery; it avoids the
spread of disease through mixing and
redistribution to suppliers of separat.
ed milk at the creamery it avoids
economic waste of carting whole milk
and separated milk; it saves tabor
on the farm and at the factory -the
milking and separating process can
proceed simultaneously.

ery farmers, and the New Zealand-
ers claims can be regarded as ours.
The Old Land is different. Large hauls

cause, that he can supply all the

of tinned fruit imported from abroad
be reduced as he can supply the quo-
ta. Then to make a patriotic move out
of his demand they both claim that
by this procedure it will employ more
hands in the Welslh tin-plate indus-
try. This in turn will cause more
work in the coal mines and tin mines.
This will cause more employment in
the machinery work -shops, cause
more paper to be used, and a host of
other industries to turn their wheels,
and in fact only use the l3ritish far-

A Great Gentleman
(Irvin S. Cobb)
When I first knew him, he was
plain John Buchan, writing the best
Scotch novels since Robert Louis
Stevenson.
Then in 1918, he was Col. John
Buchan of the British wartime" press
bureau, shrewd, kindly, and deft,
handling a bunch of rampaging
American correspondents as gently
as though they were so many new -
laid eggs and he, personally, had laid
every last one of them.
When he became Sir John. Buch-
an, a lot of us said: "Well, he
earned his honors, but no title ever
can swell that Scot's' head."
Now, at Ottawa, the flags fly and
the cannons roar for Baron Tweeds-
muir, Governor General of our
noble neighbor nation to the north,
but, if His Lordship doesn't mind,
I'd like, personally, to go on think-
ing of hint as my friend, John
Buchan, a very great gentleman.
They'll like him up there, we're.
going to like him down here. And,
if any of you Canadians has any
doubt as to his diversified talents,
wait till you see him casting a trout -
fly across a likely pool.
Blankets Need

Twice As Much Soap As

Do you know that the rubbing of
woollen fibres against each other is
the main reason for blankets shrink-
ing and the nap felting? asks M. C, R.
in the Christian Science Monitor. But
you are asking ,how can we get the
dirt from soiled blankets without
some washing machine agitation and
friction from the action the machine.
I'll, explain. Don't wash blankets
clean as you do other clothes, just
suds therm and wring them clean,
Make a double -action suds, using
twice as much soap as you use in
washing, and' use the water lukewarm.
Have the wringer loosened, and after
getting the blanket thoroughly wet in
this heavy suds, wring it at once
through the wringer. Keep sudsing
and wringing until the blanket is
completely cleaned. Three suds and
three wrings will nearly always clean
a blanket, but keep on until you have
done six sudsings and .six wringings,
if the blanket • requires that much
cleaning. Now put the blanket through
a light suds, wring and then put It
through two lukewarm rinses and the
covering is ready for the line. In
hanging to dry, be Sure you hang the
blanket so the colored stripes in the
ends are vertical in order that no
color runs into the main' color, and
pull the blankets into shape on the
line. You will find your blankets soft
and fluffy and glean.
It insures less washing to use pro-
tectors on the upper edge of the blan-
kets to keep the body from touching
the edges of the covering. I)o not de-
pend wtlholly on the overturned sheet
to do the entire protecting of the
upper edge of your blankets and do
not find yourself in the position of
having to wash a whole blanket just
to get the upper edge clean because
of not tieing 'protectors.

School Shoes
A Major Problem
Shoes far the school chlldree
again becomes a major problem in
homes where several ohildren must
be kept in school on a moderate in-
come. Other garments can be cut
down and made over. Caps•and stock-
ings and mittens can all be Made at
home if necessary, but shoes must be
purchased. They are an expense that
cannot be side-stepped. We must
make them last as long as possible.
Cheap shoes are never an econo-
my. If it is possible at all it is wisest
to pay a fair price in the beginning.
Last year I had just two dollars and
fifty cents when two of the children
needed shoes, Tire pair that cost one
dollar lasted one month. The pair
for which I paid a dollar and fifty
cents lasted three mouths. The extra
fifty cents in quality gave as much
'wear as two dollars in the cheaper
shoe.
Of course, a very expensive shoe is
not necessary as they are so soon
outgrown. Do not purchase shoes with
the intention of passing them on to
the.next child as once a shoe is fitted
to one child's foot it is almost sure to
be uncomfortable for the child who
gets it second-hand. In this case it
may be better to get a more inexpen-
sive shoe and when the time conies
get new shoes for the second child,
also more inexpensive.
Shoes can be made to last much
longer by taking proper care of them.
It is an improvement too in their ap-
pearance and an excellent habit for
the children to acquire. If shoe polish
is too expensive have them wipe the
dust off and with a soft cloth go over
the shoe witha little sweet cream
and sugar. The cream keeps the lea-
ther soft. The heel must not be ne-
glected as it is essential that the cov-
ering of the heels do not become too
dry.
If shoes must be worn without rub-
bers ee a wet day first cover the lea-
ther with tallow or neat's-foot oil. Rub
it in well, and be sure all the stitch-
ing is covered. Never put wet shoes
too near a fire to dry. We fill them
with oats, corn, or wheat and• place
on a shelf where it is dry. If in a
hurry first heat the grain in the oven.
The grain keeps the shoe in shape
and as it absorbs moisture hastens
the drying. It swells, but as expan-
sion takes place where there is least
resistance, that is, the open top of the
shoe, it does not stretch the leather.
Crushed newspaper may be used to
fill the shoe, instead of grain.
Children's school shoes should last
that much longer if they can be re-
moved upon reaching home after
school. I make slippers for home wear,
sometimes a nice pair with crocheted
or knitted top and felt soles and
sometimes a quick but comfortable
pair by sewing stocking legs to a pair
of soles or felt or any warm material.
I always use overall material for the
outer sole as it does not catch dust
or pick up slivers.
Shoes are better kept in a rack and
if each child is furnished with a place
for shoes the care of them will be at-
tended with more interest. It is very
simple to tack a strip of material to
a convenient wall, making a compart-
ment for each alone. If the material
is a pretty color, the children enjoy it
more and each child will want a color
of its own. A stocking bag of the
same material to hang near the raok
solves still another problem in effic-
iency when the children are getting
ready for school.

Man's CounLyy
Indian Women Have To Toe

"IT is a man's country", said ?Miss
Edna Down, speaking of India,
where she is a missionary in Co-
canada, to a large audience at the
Women's Mission Circles meeting of
Yorkminister Baptist Church, Tor-
onto.
"When the men folk in orthodox
Hindu households tell the woreela,
'we don't want anything from the
West,' it makes it nearly impoasi'tfe
to get the caste girls into the miss-
ion schools," she said. "These who
are permitted to go seldom reach
high school, due to child marriage,
since no one pays much attention to
the Sada Act, prohibiting it, in Coc-
anada. The parents accept the fee
which results from breaking' the act,
as part of the wedding fees, which
are going to be very expensive, any-
way," she said.
At Ramachandrapuram, Miss Down
said, forty caste women were bap-
tized and then allowed to return to
their homes, "a tremendous step a-
head for Christianity in India," she
said.
