HOniny

+ Our hearty forefathers delighted in
hominy as a breakfast dish. Our
foremothers, therefore, went to great
pains to prepare it. This time con-
suming preliminary stage is now done
by the commercial producer. A New
England cook book of 100 years ago
says that fried hominy is a favorite
breakfast dish and is also served with
meat in place of vegetables.
Bulk lye hominy is common prod
uct in New England markets. The
canned hominy of a reliable brand
is perfectly cooked, ready for the
housewife to use her ingenuity in
combining and serving.
The commercial producers part in
preparing this wholesome winter food
begins by selecting the country best
adapted to raising the corn used. The
selected white Indian corn is cleaned
by being run through large blowing
machines. 1t is then put in open
kettles and cooked forty-fve minutes
in solution Of water and wood lye.
Our ancestors often used to add SIM
ply a sack Of wood ashes. After
cooking, the corn is run through cy-
clones where the bulk is removed by
beating, and any undesirable black
points by washing. The seed at one
end of the kernel is black but is rich
in fat, so should not be removed
To make perfect product the corn
is twice more put into open kettles
and cooked forty to ffty-hve min
utes, respectively, with thorough cy-
cloning and washing following. From
this third cooking and washing it
goes through the automatic filling
machine into the cans. After the cans
are sealed they have final cooking
of seventy minutes.

Winter Jams and

At first thought the winter season
and jam-making seem quite incompat-

and cheapest at this time Of year. /
came across, an interesting impression
of preserving recently-an impression
which is probably far truer in the
February season of cold than in the
lingering and firing heat of Scptcm-
Der and October:
Indeed, the preserving season is a
kind of poetic bypath, cnticing us from
the housekeeper's daily routine. We
gladly leave our, well-trodden ways Of
meaus and mending, calls and enter
tanning, for the rainbow-hued, fragrant
tasks. Our bypath is aesthetic, rather
than unitarian. Like the peaceful
lanes where wild grapes grow, it
leads US out Of the prosy region Of
foregone conclusions into that of ex,
pertinent and adventure. Preserving
is always an experiment, and keeps
the charm OF novelty no matter how
many well-flled shelves we have to
our credit each season; for there is
time between two summers to forget
a good deal about the behavior Of
fruits.

Lordly Potato Steps High

Potatoes still stick around 60 cents
a peck and the market men, don't
care whether you buy them or not

practically no profit in them at all.

Mrs. Bennett stated that she would
not object too much if the grower

must pay. She denounced the System"
Mr.. Snowden related that three

that there is no shortage Of potatoes

Asked why spuds are in the H. c.

about the existing high prices. He
said potatoes were sold four and five
