Liming is one of the most important factors in keeping your soil in the highest productive range. By raising the pH from a level below 6J9 to 6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest 7 more bushels of wheat per acre, with similar increases for all other forage and cash crops.

Chicken is economical right now, and a good idea would be to buy more than you need and freeze it. Chicken can be cooked satisfactorily either before or after thawing. However, larger roasting birds may have more uniform doneness if thawed before cooking. If cooked without thawing, your bird requires extra cooking time and a low temperature to permit gradual defrosting during cooking. Allow an additional 12 to 20 minutes cooking time per pound for solidly frozen birds. Quick thawing results in a greater amoung of drip. The best thawing method is to leave the meat (in its wrapping) in the refrigerator and allow it to thaw slowly. For a whole chicken, this will take from 12 to 36 hours. The time required for thawing pieces of poultry varies with the bird’s size. Chicken which is to be stewed, roasted or braised, need not be thawed before cooking, but chicken which is to be fried should be completely thawed. Otherwise it spatters a great deal and a coating may not adhere well. One final note—once chicken is defrosted, refreeze it Looking for a new way to servce chicken?

Use Caution when Altering Jam and Jelly Recipes The success of jams or jellies you make depends on the specific proportions of the fruit or fruit juices, sugar, pectin and acid that the recipe calls for. Altering the recipe can result in an un satisfactory product. You can double jam and jelly recipes but it is not recom mended. There is always a possibility that you will make an error in the doubling arithmetic. And often you will not have the equipment large enought to handle double batches. In large recipes, the quantity of a doubled recipe might be unwieldy for you to handle. Reducing the amount of sugar that a recipe calls for is never recommended since the proportions of sugar, fruit, acid and pectin must be in proper balance as recommended in the recipe or a soft set, or no set, may result. Actually it is not possible to make a true jam or jelly by reducing the sugar significantly. But manufacturers of artificial sweetners have recipes available for fruit spreads which you might use as jam substitutes for in dividual or diabetic or low calorie diets. never While air conditioners vai y in design, the filters on most of them can be removed easily.
