Ask the Old Farmer: In reading
some old correspondence to my
Great Aunt, I came across mention of
a Christmas gift of a set of
"hushers" The writer said she
couldn't use them as she had re
cently had indoor plumbing in
stalled, but by making some slight
alterations, she had made them into
tarns that her daughter could wgar What are "hushers 7 " DY,
Greenville, S C
This is just about the most outstanding examp l : of ingenuity that we have
ever heard of The "husher" was a knitted affair designed to cover the
outer surface of that intimate crockery item of bedroom equipment that
antedated plumbing And the old lady made them into tarns' Terrific'
Home Hints Soak fresh water fish m strong salt water for a short time
before cooking This will remove the muddy taste that so often accompanies
fish
