Zurich Herald, 1946-10-31, Page 6ST IR FUN Might Well Be Daughter (driving ,after two les- sons)—Mother, don't speeding over the beautiful country make you glad1 you are alive! Mother—Glad isn't the word, dear. I'm amazed! Homesick Jones: "Halloa, Smith. How are you? Haven't seen you in the gar- den for quite a time, and you never come and see the wife and me now. Why is that?" Smith: "WeI1, old chap, it's not through ill -will or bad feelings or anything like that you know; only you and Mrs. Jones have borrow- ed so many things from me that when I see your place it makes me feel quite homesick." Now Just Be Quiet Two sweet young things were discussing affairs of the heart. "So you've accepted Toni?" said one acidly. "I suppose he didn't happen to mention that he had previously proposed to me?" "Well. not exactly," replied the other blandly; "but he did confess that he'd done a lot of silly things before he met me." Suitable Bill had found a new pet name for his wife. He called her "My Cherub" so often that at last the lade became suspicious and asked why he used that particular form of endearment. Bill looked rather uncomfortable tor a moment, and then decided to ?int a brave face on it. "It's like this.' hr. said, "you ne- ver seem to have asy clothes; you an always up in the air. and you keep on harping." HOLD EVERYTHING. "Why can't you just pass notes the way the others do?" The Prisoner Awakened by the insistent ring- ing of the telephone, a publican, who did not live on his licensed premises, hastened to answer it. A voice asked: "Is that the land- lord of the George? What time do you open in the morning?" Brusquely the publican replied: 'Eleven o'clock," and banged down the receiver. Half an hour later the 'phone rang again and the same voice re- peated the same query: "What time do you open?" The publican was angry and told the inquirer that he did not want anyone like him in his pub. "I don't want to get in: I want to get out." said the voice. "I've been locked up in your bar X11 night!" Miracle "Is that hair tonic any good?" "Well, I spilled some of it on nay comb last week and now it's a brush." LKS P 0 Canning Poultry o After a busy season of canning fruits and vegetables, of making jams, jellies and pickles, the home- maker is now counting her chickens for another canning bee. Chicken or fowl should' stand 24 hours after killing, then they may be canned either raw or pre-cooked. For Raw Canning Skin and excess fat are taken off. Then the chicken or fowl is cut in large pieces (drumsticks, thighs, breast, back and wings). All pieces should be boned except the drumsticks, then the raw meat is packed in clean jars ur in plain tin cans, leaving / inch headspace. A drumstick is placed In the center of the container, this allows heat to penetrate more easily to the center of the containers during pro- cessing and will also improve the flavour of the meat. Salt is added - during the packing, allowing one teaspoon to a quart sealer or 2S -oz. tin can. Other seasonings in the form of 1 carrot and 1 small onion may be added to taste. No liquid should be added. Glass sealers are then partially sealed and tin cans dompletely sealed for processing. Glass sealers and tin cans are processed for one hour in the pres- sure cooker at 15 lbs. pressure, or in the boiling water bath for 3 hours, counting the time from when the water begins to boil, that is a good roiling boil. The glass sealers are sealed as soon as they are removed from the pressure cooker or the boiling water bath and cooled in an upright position. Sealers should never be inverted to cool. Tin cans must be cooled immediately and rapidly ii. a cold water bath or under cold running water. For Pre -Cooked Canning The excess fat should be removed but the skin left on and the chicken or fowl 'cut up in pieces, The pieces are then put in a kettle with water. To a fowl of about 4/ lbs. 1 pint of water is added and the fowl boiled for one hour in the closely covered kettle. For a chicken of the same weight, 1 cup only of water is added and the boiling time is cut in half. After fowl or chicken is pre-cooked, the skin and bones are removed and the liquid strained through a cheese cloth and then cooled. The sur- elus fat should be removed when liquid is cold. The cooked neat is then packed in glass sealers or tin cans with one teaspoon of salt per quart sealer or 28 -oz. tin can. The liquid is then brought to the boil and added to cover the meat, leaving / inch headspace. Glass sealers and tin cans are processed for one hour in the pres- sure cooker at 15 lbs. pressure, or in the boiling water bath for three hours, counting the time from when the water begins to boil, that is a good rolling boil. The glass seal- ers are sealed as soon as they are removed from the pressure cooker or the boiling water bath and then cooled in an upright position. Seal- ers should never be inverted to cool. Tin cans must be cooled im- mediately and quickly in a cold water bath or under cold running water. One chicken of 4 to 5 pounds will approximately fill one quart sealer and one pint sealer or one 28 -oz. can and one 20 -oz. can. Quite a Long Time The history master noticed that young Smith was back in the class after a long absence through ill- ness. "I'm glad to see you are here again," he said. "You'll have a lot to make up. How long have you been away?" "Since Brian Boru won the Battle of Clontarf, sir," relied Smith. Both Excused Teacher: "Well, boys, late again this morning? What is your ex- cuse, Jack?" Jack: "I was dreaming I was going to Ireland, and I thought the school bell was the steamboat's sig- vial to start." 'Teacher. "Were you dreaming, too, Joe?" Joe: "No, teacher, 1 was just waiting to see Jack off." Simple "C an you tell me the way to the Air ch?" asked the stranger in the Zvi;lege: "Certainly sir," replied the old- est inhabitant, ob- igingly.
