taVe been mysterious meringue fail-
',10.4tes' even in our very best kitchens.
yiS4 'we have gone hunting for clues
"just -perfect" meringues to put
. on "in the know."
The ingredients are simple • — egg
.whites, ,salt, a little sugar and flay-
' {ging. Take, eggs from refrigerator,
rand let warm to room temperature.
,You will be rewarded with greater
•L'ivolume of froth. As you break each
Begg, separate the yolk from the white.
If, suitable for meringue, white will be,
clear and firm .and will "plop" into
the cup quickly. If white is weak
and watery, set egg, aside for omelette
or custard. Be sure to use all of the
egg white, including the thicker por-
tion clinging to shell and yolk. Use
a bowl that is small at the bottom.
Placing it on a folded. towel prevents
it from slipping: Add a pinch of salt;
measure out fine sugar (2 tablespoons -
1'111 sugar •to each egg white, or one
tablespoonful honey, syrup or jelly).
Use the, rolling pin on coarse sugar.
If you use an electric beater, add
sugar prior to beating, When beat-
• ing by fork or dover beater, beat
whites to a fpsm ibefore adding any
sugar. Beat in half tiro sugar, then
fold in remainder, sprinkling it in
thus leen daker of ;overbeating. The
' just perfect" Meringue 1s shiny and
moist looking. Peaks should be stiff
when beater is lifte'd'. out and whites
hold their position, when the bowl is
tipped. If you beat too long;, the mix-
ture -begins to ,fly out of the bowl and
the volume will be small. Itis im-
portant to stop beating at the proper
moment.
Your pie or tarts should be ready
for the meringue mix which is spread
with a dull knife or spatula. Bake in
a pre -heated oven at 375 degrees' for
10 minutes. Let cool at room temper-
ature=do not chill quickly.

THE QUESTION( 13OX
Mrs, C. C. asks: "What makes a
meringue tough on top and raw under-
neath?"
Answer: Too hot an oven, or try-
ing to brown it beneath a top 'ele-
ment instead of fully pre -heated ov-
en. Use temperature of 250-375 de-
grees.
Mrs. •C. R. R. asks: "Why are cus-
tard pies soggy on the' bottom?"
' Answer: Custard pies must be
placed in a hot oven. (450 degrees) to
cook pastry quickly, for 8 minutes.
Then reset oven control to 275 de-
grees and bake until silver knife
comes. out of custard clean (about 30
minutes). Cool quickly so that fat in
pastry hardens before steam from
custard causes sogginess.

WRAPPED AIRTIGHTFOR.:'
DEPENDABLE STRENGTH
Mado
in Ganda,
As •a farm crop in Eastern Canada,
buckwheat is entitled to a place of
considerable importance among the
coarse grains. Generally speaking, it
is prized for its ability to yield at
Least fair returns when sown on rel.,
atively infertile soils as well as on
fields which cannot be prepared in-,
time to be sown to oats or, -barley
with hope 'of obtaining satisfactory
returns. The ability to sow buck-
wheat late—even up to the middle of
July—also enables the farmer to
spread bis labour, says W. G. McGre-
gor, Cereal Division, Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa.
Two types of buckwheat are grown,
the smooth bulled type and the type
characterized by a rough hull. The
two roost common varieties belonging
to the smooth -hulled typr are known
as Silverhull and Japanese. In the
rough -hulled groups Rye and Rough
are most popular. Both types are us-
ed for food for livestock 'but only the
smooth -hulled varieties are used for
the manufacture of-' buckwheat flour.

The varieties of the rough hulled
type mature slightly earlier than
those of the smooth -hulled type but
also incline to shatter more. They
are considered to be more able to
withstand periods ofhigh tempera-
tures and drying winds, which when
they occur at blossom time, cause
buckwheat Rowers to become "blast-
ed" and produce no grain. However,
they have never' become generally
popular.
As a food for livestock, buckwheat
is regarded as almost interchangeable
with 'barley. Where barley cannot be
grown• successfully, 'buckwheat. makes
an excellent substitute.
The practice of adding other grains
to 'buckwheatis followed in some dis-
tricts, chiefly for- the purpose of re-
ducing the difficulty often experienced
in harvesting a• crop of buckwheat
when sown alone. Experiments indi-
Cate that a mixture of barleyand
buckwheat' is most likely and wheat
and buckwfrehtthe least likely to give
a profitable return per acre. Combin-
ationof six pecks of barley with two
to four pecks of buckwheat seeded in
,the latter part of May are recom-
mended. Though' little will be gained
from the standpoint of yield the mix-
ture will have the advantage over
buckwheat grown alone in; producing
a surer crop which will be easier
hardled and more. inutritious.

Most of un want ±edu1tS in a hurry,
and this applies just as much to• our
gardens .as to proinotion'in our regu-
lar work. In gardening, sit any rate,
this is possible by stealiing sole of
the shortcuts regularly employed by
the professionals.
In a great many vegetables, it is
always possible to get well started
plants that have been grown from
seed sown in hotbeds' or greenhouses
weeks before. , Cabbage, celery, toma-
toes, peppers are in this category and
in these the average amateur is advis-
ed to use nothing else.
Generous use of commercial, fertil-
izer is another short cut, but the be -
;inner is warned that this may be ov-
erdone. It is dangerous to allow the
raw fertilizer to actually tough- the
plant. A good plan is to dissolve in
water, then apply carefully.
Some people rush the season by pro-
viding little paper caps for newly set -
out plants to protect from frost, cold
or drying winds. "After danger is
passed these are lifted or removed.
A great many .seeds, such as cgrn,
beans, peas, beets, etc., will germin-
ate more quickly if they are soaked
in water a few hours before planting.
It will be more difficult sowing'them,
but with a small garden this will
hardly be noticed.
Beware of Pests,
The small urban garden, both flower
and vegetable, but more especially the
later, is very.. subject to pest damage.
Sparrows may pounce on. the lettuce,
cut worms girdle the tomatoes, grubs
attack the carrots or befits. One must
be on guard continuously because if
We are not ready to go into action
the instant the attack occurs, it will
be tbo late. Indeed with certain pests
like sparrows, 'starlings and cut
worms it is best to be, prepared in
advance.
Often a scarecrow ora few bits of
fluttering rags, or a little brush
spread over garden or lawn will scare
away birds. 'In some cases lettuce:

tect against cut wori>}s, but, a. Dodson,
mixture secured from any seed store
is better. Special du'ste can also. be
purchased for protecting cabbage, eel-
ery, cucumbers .and melons.
A good general guard against pests
is cultivation. Cut worms and many
other grubs don't like to be stirred
up.
General Hints
Poor health Is often at the bottom
of a good many garden troubles. Thin,
weedy spgta the_lawn, for' instance,
usually mean that the grass is being
starved. A liberal. application of
suitable' fertilizer will usually cure
such places.
When space is at a premium, mel-
ons, squash and pumpkins can be
sown right in the outside hills -.of corn
or may be grown along and over low
fences.
Good Seed
There is not asubstitute for good
seed. Other factors may be beyond
control but the gardener has absolute
check over this foundation. Without
good seed the garden is, going to be
a failure.
Must` Be Patched
Wire is made from metal, and all
metal must -be conserved:
This' spring when storm windows
are taken'down and screens put up in
their place, holes may be neatly patch-
ed or darned with wire from screen-
ing of the same mesh, using ravelled
wire for thread.
A coat of paint. applied will prolong
the lifeof galvanized screens. Copper
screening does not require painting,
however, except to prevent stains.
Frames of screen doors and win-
dows, that have pulled apart at the
corners, will take on a new lease on

On the farm, baling and other types+
Of wire Should be .carefully salvaged
for future use. As time goes on it
will 'be difficult if not impossible to
get. bends in the wire should be
straightened out, and the wire spliced
and wound in neat rolls. It should ..
then be stored away where it will not
rust.
This metal conservation can evens
enter the housewifery domain. Holes
in sieves and strainers can be patch-
ed using the same method as used for
window screens.
