with salt, pepper and lots Of butter.
After this feast, we have wonder
full Indian pudding with whipped
cream, and sit around feeling
stuffed but happy.
The Red Flannel Hash that comes
next day calls for chopping q cup
full Of cooked corned beef, 3 cups
boiled potatoes. cup of cooked
beets and half an onion-ell should
be chopped separately, and then
combined, say the real New Eng
land cooks. A tablespoon or so Of
butter is heated In an iron skillet,
and the hash mixture spread
smoothly over the bottom. II the
mixture seems too dry . little cream
may be added. Let the hash brown
slowly, and when crisp on the bot
tom fold over as YOU would an ONE
let. Freshly grated hoFsersdish
mixed with some whipped cream
makes q tasty sauce for ths hash
although when properly made, it
really needs no additional flavor.

just about this time every year
I take short trip to Vermont to
visit some old friends who spend
summers on their farm there. And
custom DEGREES that this very first
dinner I get after my arrival is nv
favorite-a real New England boiled
dinner. And next day comes the
proper sequel, Red Flannel Hash.
My host, who likes to dabbls In
the kitchen himself, almost rs much
as I do, takes special pride in his
boiled dinner. He Is fussy about
the corned beef. in the flrst place
it must be five-pound piece Of
brisket, eorned between 4 and z days
without saltpeter. 1t is washed and
wiped, seasoned lightly, and nut
in a big kettle with cold water to
cover. This Is brought to the boil.

At the and Of the two hours nv
friend tosses In half a pound of
salt pork, and the simmering goes
on some more. After another two
hours, the vegetables are added
onions. turnips. carrots and pota-
toes-the larger ones all peeled and
cut In quarters. A head Of cabbage
Is qusrtered and cored, and tied
In cheesecloth before 1t, too, is
added. Beets are cooked separately,

With the exception OF lettuce,

So many requests are coming In
these days in regard to canning
fruits and vegetables, I think the
following information -about the
various types and makes OF pressure
Gamers is especially timely.
THE standard processing times,
recently established for home pres
sure canning by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, may be
relied on for any make or model OF
canner, household equipment spe-
cialists report after testing nine rep
resentative pressure Gamers. Be
cause Gamers on the market today
differ in material, design and also
size, there has been some concern
for fear processing times that give
adequate sterilization in one model
might not give enough in another
The tests showed, however, that the
rate OF heating and cooling in the
different models did not vary
enough to make q different time
tables necessary. Housewives, there
fore. may feel safe in using the
standard processing times in any
type OF canner."
Some OF the sweet corn you'll
be offered this week end is actu-
ally picked with the dew still on
it. It's something special, the
corn has been grown under the
supervision of experts from the
University of Maryland. The seed
was furnished by the University
and the locations selected by them
so the soil would be just right for
the best possible crop. The Univer-
sity also supervised the growth
and the insect control of the corn
As result of this experiment the
amount of loss in a bag of corn,
which holds so ears, has been cut
from approximately - ears to the
bag to a minimum of to 3 ears
The corn is cut at midnight after
it has had a. chance to cool from
the heat of the day, this helps the
corn retain its moisture Experts
claim that 3 hours after corn is
cut 1t starts losing its sugar con-
tent and should be used as soon
as possible after this. The corn
picked at night is in the stores
ready for the consumers bright
and early the next morning

DUST RUFFLES.

From D. S., SilDer Spring.
In reply to Mrs. c. S. T. of Wash
ington, who asks about dust rufles
I have used rust ruffie for seven OF
eight years on my four-poster bee
and like 1T very much.
! She asks how practical they would
be, since quilts would have to be
narrow SO rlff1e would show. She
would make the quilt in proportion
to height of bed. My ruffie is about
IA inches wide and is made of per-
manent-finish organdy to match ths
ruff1ed curtains. I made D. quilted
scalloped valance Of same materia
as the quilt which + use in place o1
draperies, as my bedroom is not light
and drapes cut Off the light. Sheet
ing would be very nice, I would
imagine. This, however, is the sug-
gestion T feel most valuable to any
one making a. dust rufie. I made
mine with casing and ran elastic
through 1t and stretched 1t around
the bed. Then, when laundered, !
remove the elastic and have one
long, fiat piece, which is nothing to
iron compared to yards and yards of
rufnes. now have an noner, which
facilitates ironing the long piece
During the war years the elastic gave
out, but I still used it pulled tight
and now feel any strong cord would
do.
Have been interested in the textile
painting queries and answers, as 7
have used them for three or four
years. They are a Joy and labor
saver when one considers endless
hours with an embroidery hoop.
Having taught it IS a project leader
in the homemaker clubs for several
years, am now interested in a new
type of textile paint that is powdered
and has wider range Of colors than
the original type.
(From Miss J. D., Front RoyaI.)
I was recently given an antique
bed which made a perfect match
for an heirloom quilt had kept in
storage in the attic for many years.
r Immediately tried it on the bed
and found that it definitely called
for dust rufde. I purchased enough
bleached muslin (sheeting would be
too heavy, I think,) to make the
gathered shirt and attached it to
an old mattress cover which, of
course, goes under the mattress, on
top Of the springs. 1t was not a
hard job at all. I added row Of
rick-rack to match the quilt to the
bottom of the ruf1e. It certainly
has made an attractive room, in
my opinion. I've just used q soft
brush to get rid Of excess dust on the
rufde and haven't washed it as yet.
1t will not have to be washed more
than once or twice a year, I'm sure
I also purchased enough muslin to
make bureau scarves for several
chests in my room, embroidered
them to match the quilt and they
have been laundered several times
and look fine after the washings. I
would definitely say "go ahead with
the bedskirts" You won't be dis
appointed with the results!
