Having been accustomed tc
churning sour cream, I hope I car
be of great help to Mrs. j. A. S. Of
Arlington.
Put sweet cream in covered con-
tainer, but not alright, keep al
room temperature until cream is
thick or clabber. Never get cream
really warm, as it will spoil the color
of the butter, but cream should sour
quickly to keep from getting strong
get cool, but not cold.
The Churn and dash should have
been scalded and rinsed in cold
water before starting to churn.
Cream will first get real thick as
whipped cream, then it will form a
erainy stage which is butter in grain
form, but continue to Churn more
slowly Now, gather the butter which
will form into lump or ball.
Now you have the butter. but the
working or molding is just as i'm
portant as the cnurning. Pour off
buttermilk which should be extra
good for drinking or baking. Have
the butter bowl and paddle ready by
sCalding and then rinsing with cold
water. One should have wooden
bowl and paddle especially for but
ter making, or an earthen mixing
bowl can be used. Wash butter in
three waters to remove all traces of
milk, using really cold water to
keep the butter firm. After third
water has been drained off. salt the
butter, using about ,. teaspoon salt
to one pound of butter, or according
to taste. Work salt we'll into butter
but too much mixing will cause but
ter to become greasy or oily. The fin
ished product is ready for the but
ter bowl, which should be placed in
ice box ready for use.
Never use Soapy water in washing

Kidney Stew
BY arthur II. Denfe

Seated at table in a New York
club few days ago were two Of the
country's great industrialists, a
banker and a high official of the
Government. The carefully printed
menu was replete with an array of
fine dishes in keeping with the ra-
tioning requirements.
Glancing down the list OF these
dishes, the banker indicated either
a poor appetite or a lack of interest
until his eyes caught an item and
it seemed that he would abandon
all his staid dignity and emit a boy
ish whoop. What he read was:
Kidney Stew and Wafdes."
He would brook no argument or
counter suggestions. 1t seemed he
was the host and he took 1t upon
himself to do full duty. The waiter
stood at his elbow and the banker
said: Henry, kidney stew and waf-
fles for all Of us!" And that was
final.
At that, there was no complaint
because all OF those men had come

old farm and even though they may
not have been raised on wafies,
they all knew kidney stew. The
luncheon was great success, though
one of the industrialists remarked
he would prefer to have the dish
for an evening meal so he could
take a nap afterwards!
Somehow or other, beef kidney
stew and waf1ies for dinner Is an
overlooked main course, though a
most excellent one. With the waf-
fles. which must be served up fresh
and crisp as made, and, best of all,
from the iron right on the table,
must be the sizable bowl of kidney
stew. And there should be a salad
too, preferably one with sliced or
quartered tomatoes, which seem to
go so we'll with kidney stew. The

BUTTER MAKING.
(ThanES to Mrs. E. G. D.,
z I,


Washington
Cream which has become sour
can be turned into butter in less
than three minutes by pouring it
into bowl and beating it with a
rotary egg beater. AS you whip it,
the cream will separate into butter
and buttermilk. Continue beating
with the egg beater until solid butter
is formed. With small knife, take
the butter from the beater and put
1t into a bowl of ice water. Remove
the small Jumps of butter from the
huttermilk with a spoon and put
them also into the ice water. Squeeze
the butter together in the water
until it is all in one lump. 1t is said
that half pint cream will yield ap-
proximately quarter pound of but
ter, plus the buttermilk.
(From booklet entitled BE an
Artist at the Gas Range.')
(ThdnkS to Mrs. A. E. L., Arltngton.)
Being farmers wife and having
made many pound of butter, I will
be glad to help Mrs. J. A. S., in get
ting butter from her sour cream.
The cream should be room tenn
perature to churn. II too cold, the
butter will not come, likewise if too
warm, the butter will be very soft.
Keep churning until you see butter
granules, then churn slowly to COL
lect these together. Take from
buttermilk with a butter paddle or
spoon, work out the buttermilk,
wash with cold water, then salt to
taste. 1t will be well to work
out more buttermilk the day after
churning. Have butter at room
temperature to work out excess
water or buttermilk and keep in re-
frigerator. You must churn quite
some time before the butter comes.
but keep churning.
Cooking tomatoes or tart apples
in aluminium will clean or brighten
aluminium ware. There is an alumni
mum powder cleaner that takes the
place of steel wool. Hope this may
help Mrs. T. w. L., jr.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. J. A. c., Arltngton.)
This method for making sour
cream butter has been used success
fully at my home on the farm for
making small amounts of butter.
Be sure you are using top cream.
Put sour cream in jar so that it
isn't more than three-quarters full;
seal and shake. After few min
utes. it will seem very thick, then
it will start to break" and soon
afterward to separate. Continue
shaking until butter is in one ball.
Pour off buttermilk and work de-
sired amount of salt into butter with
a wooden spoon. Cream churns
more quickly and the butter is
easier to handle if the cream is cold.
