Dear Social Corner Friénds: 1 am sending directions how to clean and steak flounders and flatfish. Now that fish boats are-in the har- bor, many would like' to_avail. them- selves of the opportunity and obtain fresh' fish, but you are-obliged to cledn and steak them yourselves. Nothing else in the line deteriorates so rapidly as_these fish. First, I take the fih or, meat board land place it across the sink; then put a paper on it, and take a cloth and wipe the fish as dry as possible, Sccond, 1 cut.a piece back of the neck and give the neck a twist and it will take out the entrails. Thrd, I then take the scissors and cut off the fin and tail, and lay the fish in a pan while I get rid of these, roll n newspaper and put them in the pan to take out. Fourth—Put another paper ‘on the board and put an awl through the tail of the fish to hold it; then I scale it and place the fish in a pan of salt ang water and wash the fish thor- up oughly, roll the papers and put these in_an'as can. Your board being nice and clean, take ‘a cloth and wipe it very dry, then commencing at the middle of the back cut down to the end of the tail; the middle of the backbone is the highest point .and you can after cut- ting throuzh 'to the. bome cut away down to the sides, and it will cut clean from the bone: then turn your fsh over and cut the opposite sid this removes the bome and you have | your fish steaked. I preserve the fish then by dipping it in meal and salt. place in the ice- box, and it'will retain its freshness. 1 have found if it once gets heated, nothing will bring back its delicate | flavor. 1T pave hunted the cook books and could not find how to steak fish, and though' should‘ any -Sister -like this recipe she should have it. People who do not live near the shore might not be able to clean the fieh T aiways boil the bones of the fish affer sieaking, and makes a delicious chowder. After boiling, save the water, pick fish off of bones, and to three cups of the water and fish put three slices of pork, four: onfons and two potatces and one-half cup of cream or milk In frying fish T allow one and one- uarter pounds of salt pork to every four and one-quarter pounds of fish. First cut pork in thin slices and fry |a crisp brown: remove pork from pan {and place fish in pan, the skin side |ap, and fry a rich brown. You ean dip it in beaten egz. roll in. bread crumhs and fry in boiling fat enough to cover. Where Indian meal is not liked yon can use “cream of wheat” flowr. ~This is particalarly nice if | friea without pork. "After placing fish in dish, meit butter and pour over it. Al meal or flour used in frying should be thoroughly mixed sith salt ETHELYN. CANNING. Dear Social Corner Sisters: An or- dinary wash boiler may be used as & home canner. Rest the jars in a rack which is perferated at the .sides and hottom to permit free circulation of he boiling water around them. A rack for this purpose may be made at home of strips of wood, or of wire mesh cut ! to_fit the boiler. When frying doughnuts or oysters {in deep fat, drop a pared potato into | the Poiling grease. It will keep the fat from burning. A tablespoon of vinegar added ‘to meat when boiling will ‘make the toughest meat like the most tender chicken, A little soda added to the water. in which meat is boiled will make it more tender. Brown Sugar Sauce—Brown sugar sauce is made by beating the yolk of an egg light and the white foamy. Beat half a_cup of sifted brown sugar nto the yo'k, then fold in the white, beat in one cup of hot milk and a tea- | spoon of vanilla. \‘Kfll \TA!\' LAUREL. TOMATD CUTTINGS. Dear Social Corner Members: T did not know until lately that tomate cut- { tings would root in a short time: al- |thoush others may know.about them: | ut will pass my experience along, and it may help someone. One of the cherry tomatoes began te wilt badly and I supposed the cutworms had de- | stroyed it; then 1 toek two slips ande | kept them weil watered and they sponded.in a few davs. The soil wa¥ | banked around the-original plant and it has revived and is growing again. T have four slips of the large va- riety potted. For winter window eul- , ture one can root a .selection . those that are the best and if they | do well through the winter, cuttings | can be started in thecspring for tf: | |&arden: that,is, if the coal bin does ! not 1un dry.
