Farm women In many sections are
cooperating actively In clothing work
as carried on with the assistance of
state and county extension workers.
In this work local representatives or
leaders. selected by the various COM
munities In a county, come together at
some convenient point for training.
Provided with the necessary teaching
helps, these women repeat to organized
groups in their own neighbornood the
instruction they have received and
gather up reports on work done. The
success Of local leadership is due not
only to the ability and devotion Of
local women but to the simple, prac-
teal basis to which extension work.
ers have reduced their teaching.
According to reports received by the
United States Department of Agricul-

ticular attention are the making and
use Of dress forms; alteration of pat

Properly cooked rabbits are as de-
licious as chicken, the United States
Department Of Agriculture points out,
and are more economical, even when
they must be purchased from butch
er. The flavor Of young hutch rabbits
somewhat resembles the white meat of
chicken, and the less tender. but more
gamey. wild rabbits, well prepared, are
similar in taste to the darker portions
of poultry that has been fricasseed
or cooked In casserole.
Appetizlns Ways Of Cooking.
Before cooking the rabbit should be
washed carefully In cold water and
patted dry with clean towel. II may
then be stuffed and trussed II 1t Is to
be cooked whole. or cut into eight or
ten pieces. Young tender rabbits may
be simply dredged with flour, salt and
pepper and fried in four tablespoon
fuls Of fat, like fried chicken. Sau-
sage fat gives a particularly good
flavor to fried rabbit. The flavor of
bacon also combines well with rabbit.
A cream or brown gravy should be
made. using the fat in which the rabbit
was fried.
Another excellent way to cook ten
der rabbit Is to bake 1t in cream or
white sauce. Split the rabbit into two
halves along the backbone, dredge with
flour, lay six slices of bacon across 1t,
and pour three cupfuls of white sauce
or three cupfuls Of cream over 1t. Bake
for ~ hours. basting frequently. The
rabbit liver, boiled till tender and
chopped. may be added to the gravy.
Smothered rabbit is stuffed and
braised slowly with very little water
in covered pan.
Many dishes may be prepared after
stewing rabbit till tender. The meat
may be cut from the bones in large
pieces and served as rabbit pie, or a
gravy made from the broth, with
either pastry or biscuit crust Any
broth not used makes excellent soup.
Rabbit salad may be mixed with celery
In the same proportions as chicken
salhd-two parts of diced cold cooked
meat to one part of chopped celery
and one-half part Of salad dressing.
The boiled rabbit may be served as a
stew by adding potatoes, carrots and
onions when the meat is partly cooked.
The liquid in which the stew is cooked
should be thickened. A spiced rabbit
stew appeals to many persons. The
seasonings consist of six slices of ba-
con. chopped, minced onion of me-
dium size, two tablespoonfuls of salt,
one-fourth teaspoonful Of perper and
one tablespoonful of whole cloves In a
bag, all covered with boiling water

was now going to let them have them.
The first of the three gifts was a
small box, all done up in tissue paper.
When Dorothy had taken of the paper
and undone the box there was another
little box, and when she opened this
box there was another little box In
that, then there was another little
box, then there was another little box,
then there was another little box, then
there was another little box; and SO
1t went on until, In the last box, she
found gold dollar. The second gift
was q bayberry candle, with these
words on piece Of paper:

and seemed very glad Of 1t. Then the

all done up in an envelope, but 1t
helped him to see why the party had
made him happier than he had been
when he was all alone with his tree,
for he could not only read the note,
/ but also the sweet meaning when 1t

All trees are Christmas trees that bear
The care of love and love of care.

Plant 1t in love and let 1t be.
Gold for misfortune It will keep.
Light in the darkness 1t will give.

Its happy kindness while you live.

woodsman had meant when he told

and stewed slowly together till the
rabbit is tender. A brown sauce Ia
made separately and poured over the
rabbit, which Is then simmered two
hours.
First Fried, Then Slmmered.
The favor of many slowly cooked
rabbit dishes Is improved by first
browning the pieces of rabbit in q
little bacon or other fat and then
cooking them slowly either in water
or in gravy made from the same fat.
Fricasseed rabbit is first Drowned and
then boiled. 1t Is often served with
steamed dumplings, made like biscuit
dough with the addition of an egg and
steamed in the gravy Of the frlcassee.
Casserole rabbit Is cut up and Drowned
In bacon fat, then arranged In cas-
serole with strips Of fried bacon, sliced
onions and potatoes. dredged lightly
with flour and covered with water.
The casserole should be covered tight
ly and slowly baked for two hours.
A tomato sauce may be used instead
Of water In the casserole, the potato
being omitted, or the Drowned rabbit
may be simmered In tomato and
onion sauce over low flame till the
rabbit is tender. The tomato sauce
cooks down and gives a very good
flavor to the rabbit. A savory stew
may be made after frying the rabbit
by boiling one medium-sized onion and
two bay leaves with the meat until 1t
Is nearly tender. To the fat that was
used to brown the rabbit add two ta-
blespoonfuls Of -four, mix thoroughly
and add one cupful Of vinegar. Pour
this sauce over the meat and simmer
until 1t is very tender. Serve with
fresh or canned string beans and q
dessert Of baked apples.
Other Uses for Rabbit.
Any cold cooked rabbit may be
ground up and used as basis for
hash, croquettes, shepherds pie, or
similar dishes. Meat loaf or meat balls
may be made of raw chopped rabbit
meat in the same way as beef or veal.
Sausage cakes may be made from
Underground meat with any preferred
seasoning. II pork flavor is desired
one part fat pork may be mixed with
two parts ground rabbit meat. Very
good sausage flavor will result from
mixing the following proportions: two
pounds Underground rabbit meat, one
minced onion (Which may be omitted)
one tablespoonful salt. one teaspoon-
full pepper. one and one-half teaspoon
fuls powdered sage, one bay leaf,
pinch each Of thyme and allspice. four
to six tablespoonfuls finely crumbed
dry bread or cracked crumbs, one beat
en- egg and one-half cup of rich sweet
milk.
