changing things. For years the

SELECT A YOUNG, WeIl-fatted bird
for roasting. Marks of youth in birds
are flexible cartilage on the rear end
of the breastbone, tender skin, soft
meat, few hairs and soft, smooth feet
Marks of high quality in a roasting
bird are well-rounded body, we'll
feshed breast, good coating of fat
under the skin, few blemishes and few
pinfeathers. For bird to look well
and carve well on the table, good shape
is important. 1t should have no deformi-
ties such as very crooked breast.
AS to size of bird, when selecting tur-
key allow for each person to be served
"a to / pound dressed weight; chicken
or guinea, about pound dressed
weight; fat duck or goose, liz pounds
dressed weight. 1t is economical to buy
larger bird than needed for one meal
or even two, because the larger the
bird, the greater the yield of meat in
proportion to bone. Moreover, roasted
birds are excellent for slicing cold, and
leftover tidbits can be quickly turned
into variety of appetizing dishes, hot
or cold.
For roasting a young bird use a
shallow uncovered pan with rack in
the bottom. In shallow pan bird
cooks more evenly and more rapidly
than in pan with high sides that retard
the circulation of air. The rack in the
pan keeps the bird from sticking and
allows the hot air of the oven to circu-
late under the bird.
Do not add water to the pan. Do not
cover the bird with either a lid or a
blanket of dough or cloth. Water and
coverings simply serve to steam bird
and steaming is not needed because the
2O-Novenber IS, 1855
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-11-15

meat of young birds is tender to begin
with. Moreover, steaming breaks the
skin and forces juices out of the meat
which detracts from the appearance of
bird and causes it to lose flavor and
to shrink more than is necessary.
Keep the temperature of the oven
moderate, or even slow, for the entire
cooking period. Suit the oven tempera-
ture to the weight of the bird, as shown
in the roasting timetable. The larger the
bird the more moderate the oven tenn
perature should be, in order to cook the
thick portions through to the bone with
out scOrching the skin or overlooking
the thinly fleshed parts. In moderate
or slow oven birds are Drowned gradu-
ally and evenly until they are done.
Since the parts of a bird that stand high
in the oven cook more quickly than
those resting on the rack it is necessary
that all portions may be evenly done.
For turkeys started with one side of
the breast down, turn in order from one
side to the other side, then turn breast
up, and repeat. For best results, turn
small and medium-sized birds (under IL
pounds) every 80 to 45 minutes, large
birds liz to 20 pounds) every hour, and
very large birds at intervals of 11k to 2
hours. To keep from breaking the skin
in turning, lift the bird at the head and
foot with clean folded cloths or paper
towels to protect the hands. AT the time
of turning, haste turkeys with melted
butter or other fat, or with pan drip
pings. Ducks and geese are self-basters.
If they are excessively fat, prick the
skin during roasting to let some of the
fat drain out.

FOR YEARS THE pendulum of home
discipline has been swinging wildly.
One generation believed Ito spare the
rod and spoil the child was the sole
guide in rearing children. The next
generation, hoping to erase the mis-
takes of the first, took up the door
mat philosophy of letting Junior have
his own way.
Today we know that this last form of
discipline was just as erroneous as the
first with all of its good intentions. And
now parents heed, on the one hand, the
advice to give their children love and
security, and on the other, the warning
not to smother them with misguided
affection in trying to shield them from
responsibilities and experiences that
are their only hope of growing up.
What is the happy medium? Is there
some way to help our youngsters grow
up into responsible, cooperative men
and women without clipping the wings
of their self-reliance and growing indie
pendence? How can we help our chill
dren develop the ability to go it alone''
and at the same time enable them to
get on with others in our complex
world?
Life would be so convenient if, by
some presto-chango, the kids would
get themselves grown without the con-
tinuous concern of parents or the usual,
disturbing growing-up pains of youth
Stakes Are High
The stakes are high but chances are
today's parents will have an easier
time of setting the home discipline
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-11-15

grow up in this haphazard, unham-
pered manner. Freedom comes with
progress in learning. It is the end and
product of discipline, not the alterna-
tive to it.
The road ahead in discipline leads the
young person to think and act for him.
self with due consideration for the
rights of others There are no hard and
fast rules for wise guidance, but there
are numerous ways we can help our
children learn the ways of successful
living.
Affection is a potent force. When
parents answer questions thOughtfully,
keep promises, share experiences with
their children and show courtesy in
everyday living-they relay by example
the spirit of consideration which is the
basis of democratic living in the home.
Good attitudes and behavior are
'caught rather than taught"
Maintain Confidence
One of the most important things is
to keep the lines of communication and
confidence open between yourself and
your children at all times. Confidence
usually exists when your children know
that they will not be misunderstood or
punished for their frankness.
When the emotional climate in the
home is understanding and friendly, we
know that child can take spanking
and still feel the underlying love and
interest of his parents. On the other
hand, we know that some parents may
do the technically correct thing but
with so little show of affection that even
their kind and patient words leave the
child confused and resentful.
When relations between parents and
children are warm and friendly, chill
