CQUIRE DONALD KLOPFER was pedalling a bicycle across a pasture on his Flemington estate when his prize bull spotted him, lowered his head, and charged after

him. Klopfer barely got himself and his bike over the fence in safety. “Durn near got ye that time,” observed his neighbor, Carl Brandt. “Durn near gets me every time,” answered

Klopfer laconically.

Miss Smith says there are a few rules to observe to have sucessful results. They me as for

| iows;

( (1) Use bnly ingredients ot est quality. Use p ile extract, because they retain their naturil flavor, rather than synthetic ones. (2) Cook vegetables and | meals to barely tender stage ami remove from beat at once. ; This shortens the cooking time, ri) Cool quickly and thoroughly. Slow cooling of vegetables, meats, custard mixes, etc., can be a dangerous source of food poisoning. 141 Cleanliness i.t inportant. Freezing does not kill bacteria. (5) Freeze quickly for the best quality of foods. 16) Storage temperatures should remain at 0 F. to 5 below zero. 17) Store food a reasonable length of time, not more than a few wet ks to a few months. (8i ’m pare frozen foods quickly for

the table.

Th.- home demonstration agem recommends that cooked meats be frozen in large pieces. Some casserole dishes are very satisaetory and can be reheated without destroying their flavor and texture. Mixed raw fruits, freeze well for salada. Nut ntvl fruit breads may be frozen before or after making, but success is certain if frozen after baking. Fruit purees make a nice frozen dessert. Butter cakes may be dozen either before or afti ’ biding.

RILED FARM MACHINE SHEDS

• Modern Rilco Machine Sheds are designed for flexibility. They are economical and easy to erect. Although designed primarily as machine sheds, they are adaptable to many other uses such as a farm shop, storage building, livestock shelter, or garage. The interior can be easily arranged or partitioned

to fit any need.
