And as over a quarter of our food budget -according to the ofi?icial records -goes for meat, here are some facts worth knowing and remembering, 1. Tender cuts, such as steaks and chops, should be seared to brown the surface fat and preserve juices. Iaong cooking destroys flavour and wastes meat. 2. In cooking meat for stews, simmer just below boiling in a small quantity of water. Add salt after the first half-hour, not before. 3. In grinding meat for patties, :meat loaves and the like, use the coarse knife of the food chopper and run meat through twice. This gives a better flavour to the meat, and your meat loaves will slice without crumbling.. 4 In pan-frying round steak, first score the pleat lightly with a very sharp knife. Then brush with vine- gar. This softens the connective tissues and makes the- meat more tender. >k # ek 5. In baking meat loaves, pour off the juices every Half-hour. This allows the bottom of the loaf to make instead of stew, and also gives a golden brown crust. Now for some recipes. There are a great many Hollanders coming to this country, and very line citi- zens most of them are turning out to be. But although they take readily to our Canadian ways, we may be sure that they've brought along with theta recipes for some of their favorite dishes. One of these undoubtedly is that of a fancily dinner main dish, which they call "Gevulde Kool" but which I'm passing along to you under the name of STUFFED CABBAGE 1 small head cabbage 3/4 pound minced pork j//4 pound minced beef or veal 2 thin slices of bread that have been soaked in water 1 teaspoon salt Pepper, nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter. Method: Remove eight to ten outer leaves from the cabbage and cook them in boiling salted water ten minutes, Reserve the remaining cabbage for salad or other uses. Drain cooked cabbage and put a leaf or two on a square of double - folded cheese -cloth. Mix the meat with the bread and seasorr with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Put a thin layer on the cabbage ar, ranged on the cloth, Cover with a leaf or two, add another layer of meat and continue till leaves and meat are used, fin- ishing off with leaves. Gather the four corners of the cloth and tie. Lower into salted water and sinter an hour and a half. Remove cabbage from cloth, place Ili a greased baking dish, .dot with the butter and cools at 400 degrees F. till light browir. Yield: four to five portions, Here's a grand way of using rhu- barb, especially if you're fond of candied ginger. If you're particu- Aarly fond of it, you can increase the amount given as much as you wish. This is a very delightfful pudding, with bread"as the bulk in- gredient and a delicate rhubarb flavour. The quantities given yield from six to eight servings. GINGER -RHUBARB PUDDING 1 egg cup granulated sugar teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 3/4 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups coarse soft bread crumbs 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 15/2 cups finely diced fresh rhubarb 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped can- died ginger cup chopped nuts 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Beat the eggs slightly; beat in the sugar and salt. Stir in the acini, vanilla, bread crumbs and lemon rind. Adel the prepared rhubarb, chopped candied - ginger and chopped nuts and com- bine well. Turn mixture into a baking dish that'lias been brushed with butter or inargarine. Dot top with butter or margarine. Place baking dish in a large pan and surround with hot water. Oven -poach in a moderate oven, 350 degrees, until pudding is set - about one hour. Serve hot or cold.

Once outside the city, a Sunday walker would never know, unless lie had read about it in the papers, that he was living in the Atomic Age; he would swear that he was still living in the Motor Age. And as he walks along any country road he will wonder whether the atomic scientists, working with a billion dollars' worth of equipment sup- plied by the taxpayers, will ever be able to turn out so universally useful, so revolutionary, a contrap- tion as the one Henry Ford turned out half a century ago, working alone in his bicycle shout out there iti Detroit. Will these same atomic scientists, given ten years, sufficient funds and an army to guard their work from prying eyes, produce so great a boon to mankind as the electric light that first glowed in Edison's crude laboratory dyer there in Jersey? Will the gentle- men who can split atoms deserve so Nveli of their country in the long run as the pioneers who only split rails? These are questions horn of a spring day, and the answers seem as uncertain as the sunshine. a GRE UN �y Goti°datiti Smit. ' A Cutting Garden A corner of the vegetable garden or some place at the back of the lawn is often set aside to grow flowers especially for indoor bou- quets. When a large supply of blooms is wanted frequent cutting leaves the regular burd-erc `a', bit shy. Any of these flowers suitable for cutting purposes will thrive on the same sort of cultivation that the vegetables get. Certain flowers, in- deed, like gladioli, sweet peas and others of which the foliage is not eery attractive are best grown with. the vegetables. Will They Thrive Here? One reads or hears of lots of beautiful flowers, shrubs and even vegetables that many not grow well in many parts of Canada. These things were developed for the Southern States or England where the climate is milder or the grow- ing season longer. One wastes money and time in trying them in our vigorous clime. To guard against the discourage- nient, one is advised to stick to those flowers, shrubs and vege- tables that are specially recom- mended for Canadian conditions. The latter are the varieties and types Iisted in the Canadian seed catalogues. These have all been tested under Canadian• conditions and they are the only ones recom- mended by the Canadian authorities.
