when delegates to the Democratic state convention at Hartford this week rose to pay spontaneous tribute to Governor Robert A. Hur- ley in one of the geratest demon Strations on record in state poll %ics, they were saluting a man whom many of them had shown little Anthusiasm for two years ago.
 (The roar with which all dele- rates greeted the name of the governor, the sincere tributes that were paid him by speakers, the unanimity of the feeling for him --all these were in contrast to the situation at New Haven in 194O, when delegates from Waterbury and elsewhere stood fast for ex- Governor Wilbur l..

HOW TO SMOKE DUCKS

Dear AlmanaCk:
During the duck hunting sea-
son we have an abundance OF
ducks. far more than we care
IL roast and eat ourselves. from
now on, however, we will have
no trouble disposing of them.
We have learned simple
method of Transforming them
into a happy substitute for the
aristocratic smoked turkey. /
wrote 10 the Extension Depart
ment of our State College; they
referred me 10 the head Of their
poultry department, and with
these suggestions and our own
initiative we have evolved the
following recipe for curing wild
duck and serving it cold on our
table Others may discover more
methods of cooking and serving
II. Here is ours:
Dress the ducks in the usual
m a n.ner. thoroughly washing
them inside and out with cold
water. Chill. A brine of sugar
cure smoked salt is prepared
using water that has been ster-
iiized by boiling. When the water
is still boiling hot add two pounds
of the smoked salt 10 each gal
lon of water. Stir well 50 that
all of the salt is dissolved To
not boil the brine. When cool,
strain through cloth and cool to
about As degrees f. Pour this
brine over the birds contained in
a stoneware jar. A two-gallon
jar easily holds from two to five
ducks.
Make certain the brine has
filled the inside cavity and en-
tirely covers the bird. Weigh
the birds down with heavy
plate, possibly reinforced with a
rock. SO the birds will stay well
covered throughout the curl R4gg Pc
rod During this time they
should be kept in a cool place.
not exceeding 40 degrees.
Leave in the brine one week.
Remove bird from brine. rinse
and wipe dry. Place the bird in
a generous amount Of cold water.
bring 10 a boil and boil for five
minutes Remove liquor, place
bird in pressure cooker in gen
crous amount Of cold water. then
pressure at fifteen pounds for
twenty minutes. Exhaust steam
In the usual manner. remove
bird rinse with cold water. then
thoroughly chill IL. Slice off the
bone and serve. Delightful on a
Dutch Lunch or Smorgasbord, or
with hot accompanments such
as hot kraut. baked potatoes and
candied squash. hot rolls and
honey.
