Ramekin Useful for (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Domestic rabbits are being ralsed for meat as well as fur in many parts of the country, although their produc- tion is most highly developed In the western states.” The meat may be eaten the year around, and is coming to be appreciaté® as a very delicious addition to the menu. In color and flavor domestic rabbit meat is so su- perior to wild as to seem an entirely different article of food. All the meat on a domestic rabbit is white and dell- cately flavored throughout. In food value rabbit falls in the class with poultry and other meats as a source of efficient protein. Most of the domestic rabbits are marketed at eight to ten weeks of age, and are then termed “fryers.” The bones of these quickly grown rabbits are very brittle, and in preparing the meat for cooking care should be taken to break them in such a way that they do not sliver. Like young chickens and tender chops and steaks, young rabbits need longer, slower cooking. They are usually first simmered until tender and then used for casserole dishes, ple, croquettes, salad, or other dishes of which meat is the basis. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the bureau of Dblological survey, has worked out a number of new ways of preparing rabbit meat. A new publi- cation, Leaflet 68, calied “Rabbit tecipes,” is now avallable on the sub- Ject. The following recipe for rabbit pie, which is one of the best ways of cooking an older rabbit, is from the leaflet. cooked Rabbit Pie. 1 rabbit 3 i tsp. salt 1 onion, chopped i green pepper, chopped %¥ cup parsley ths, butter or other fat Flour Dash of sauce Pastry tabasco chopped After wiping the meat with a damp cloth, cut into two or three pieces.

They were flying off toward the east now, over farms and forests, then over a province in Canada which David could just make out was marked “New Brunswick.” As they flew here, very David saw a river with the most curi- ous waterfalls. They weren't high but were very strange. They started to go one way for a little and then they turned around and went the opposite way. “They're the Reversible falls in the St. John river,” the Pilot shrieked at David through the trumpet. “Se named because they can turn them- selves around—pretty clever of them!” It was growing darker and darker now. They were landing! David did not quite know where he was—some- where near his friend Atlantic, for he was faithfully nearby. The Pilot helped David out and then rushed off again, leaving David quite alone, He did not know what to do but he was feeling very sleepy and he decided he'd better get some sleep before he did anything else He made a pillow of some spruce branches and found a comfortable spot for his out-of-door bed.

There Is a wide range of durability in different furs, but orice is no indication eof Your Furs durability. For example, chinchilla, a most expensive fur, is not so durable as rabbit. Much Is sald about the preparation of rabbit fur to make it look like higher-priced furs, but If the customer understands what she Is getting and takes good care of her cont, she may have full satisfaction and pleasure In It The biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture lays great stress on dealing always with a reliable furrier and in going to him exclusively for repairs, storage, or other matters connected with a fur or fur-trimmed garments, Some of the spe- cial points in the care of furs are as follows : If any defects appear In a fur gar. ment while It is still comparatively new, take it at once to the firm from which you bought it. The most expen. sive garment and the cheapest are equally liable to small troubles, such as a parted seam, a tiny hole, or broken hairs that have not been en- tirely removed and so give the appear ance of shedding. The leather, or skin, of the plece of fur has been specially treated to make it pliable. The furrier or reputable dry cleaning plant experienced in handling furs has special methods of cleaning furs to retain this quality, It your fur garment is damp or wet, do not put it on or near a stove or radia- tor. Hang it on a padded hanger prop- erly and let it dry slowly at ordinary room temperatures, Do not hang your furs in a closet with steam pipes. The air In the closets of steam-heated apartments is generally too dry for furs, unless there is provision for humidification, FSH HHI By MARY GRAHAM BONNER of that song.
