The
What Not Shelf
By Louise Hoffecker Burslem

Sugar rationing doesn't bother
country New Englanders-not II
they have few maple trees on
their property. We had the good
fortune last week to witness the
"sugarin' off" of maple sap at a
farm near Alstead, New Hamp-
shire.
1t all started with a ride in the
country. For the past several
days, the temperature had risen,
and our cousins figured that sap
was beginning to run, and search
might uncover some farmer who
was boiling" This was an unex-
pected treat, anticipated with much
excitement-for we had been lucky
enough to get lots of snow and
winter scenery without having
spring and maple syrup thrown in!
Anyhow, the ride in the country
was fruitful-for what did we see
but an oxen-drawn sled collecting
sap from the buckets on the trees!
We stopped the car to watch this
interesting sight, and to take pic
lures of the sled. The farmer 1.-THE
mailbox said Leon Trow) was very
obliging about posing the oxen, and
when we sashayed ourself up to
the sled to be included in one of
the snapshots, Mr.. Trow suggested
we hold the whip. We made a
hasty refusal, however, not wishing
to be the main character and pos
sible victim in an oxen stampede.
Then Mr.. Trow gave us taste of

COFFEE is too precious these
" days to risk running one bean
Of 1t! And ruin 1t you will, il you
try to brew coffee in dirty pot.
You're brewing nothing but trouble
Just as much trouble as if you
try reusing coffee grounds or mix
ing your ration allotment with adul-
terants. Good coffee never came
from utensil that wasn't perfectly
clean any more than good
brew can be made with adulterants.
Coffee contains oils which attach
themselves to the coffee maker.
These oils, when they come into
contact with the air, enter into
chemical reaction. Inside of twenty
four hours they have vile odor
and taste-that will be apparent in
the next brew.
Keep the coffee maker-and all
accessories-absolutely clean. Wash
the pot with clean hot soapy water.
Use brush-or several brushes
TO clean acknowledgement places
where sediment or oil may collect.
Rinse the coffee maker and all the

parts with clear hot water. And re.
member to wash 1t Immediately
after using!
If you use a filter cloth in your
coffee maker, the filter should be
washed out with cold water and
left under cold iudter until you use
it the next time. If you take this
precaution, the filter is sealed from
the air between coffee-brewing
times. Oxygen in the air hastens
the decomposition of fats that are
in the filter cloth, itself, and this
can ruin the flavor of the next
brew!
If you take care to keep the
maker spotlessly clean-and if you
take just as much care in prepar.
ing the coffee you brew in it-coffee
in your house will be "fit for a
king" Measure coffee and water
accurately, make only as much as
will be used, don't mix the real
beans with any filters" or adul-
terants, and the next cup Of coffee
you make will be the ultimate IN
