Cle^t>kc When the spring calves make tbcir appearance we never seem to (•t through without one cow or kdfer requiring veterinary atten- tion. So it was this year. One by eae three calves arrived and alll was well in the maternity barn. Bnt oainc the fourth and it was a dificr- •â- t story.. This time the mother â€" a heifer with her first calf â€" hid â- ot met according to Hoyle. To help kar in the wa> she should go meant that my kitchen stove was kept so ' baay I had had hardly room to boil a kettle for tea. Warm water to drink; boiling water for bran mash- ••, and heat to thin the molasses. OK, that molasses ... of all the goo-cy messes I No wonder we hear the expression so often â€" "slow is asolasses in Januaryl" It isn't so bad if one has a chance to warm the stuff but one time Bob came up for a dose and I had to get it from a new supply â€" which was in a big pail for convenience. The prescription was two cups â- iixcd with warm water in a bottle and given as a drench. So easy to write ... so difficult to do. Dip the cup into the pail, then drop the molasses from the cup into a big pitcher and mix with water. But the molasses is to thic to drop so yon lodge the cup on top of the pitcher while you get a spoon. You •aoop the stuff out of the cup, then you look around wondering what to do with the spoon. You finally put it down on the kitchen table, and then yoi see the mess it makes and you wish you hadn't. And their is ttili another c ip of molasses to wrestle with. While you are in the middle of things and ready to do battle with anyone, the One Man ia Your Life comes along and says â€" "Haven't you got that dose ready yet? Better leave it to me the next time if you are going to make a mess like that!" Gladly the next dose is left to him â€" but by that time the molasses ii nicely warmed through and the going is easy. But who am I to deny a mere man the satisfaction of thinking he is able to do a better job than such as I? Anyway I was •till busy wiping up blobs of molas- tca that must surely have dripped into places where I had never been. It was around 9 a.m. that day when the "vet" was here to, the cow â€" then at noon we sent for him again, this time for a horse with a bad attack of colic. More bran mashes! Partner told the "vet" he had better take the farm because we couldn't go on paying him $5 a day. But while he was here we had him give honey a "shot" as a preventitive against distemper. And speaking of that little dis- turber of the peace . . . Daughter writes home â€" "How is my little Honey getting along?" I read her letter and think oi the sight before. About 10 p.m. I took Honey down cellar for the night While there I put another thovel- inl of coal on the furnace. Came back to my chair and my crochet work but could not find my glasses. They are the kind that are practi- tally unbreakable â€" with shell rims. 1 could not remember what I had done with tlicm and yet I had a bunch I had carelessly put them in â- ny smock pocket, in which casf they might have dropped out as 1 •hovelled the coal. 1 searched the cellar ovfâ€" in the coal bin: among odds and ends of this and that; in and around a small ~pile of furnace wood, and among the hidden bones in Honey's box. Partner even raked over the coals in the furnace in case I had shovelled them in with the coal. And wherever we went Honey scampered along with us and thought it all a great joke to have both of us down cellar, with her. Well, I looked f9r those glasses off and on until midnight â€" why wouldn't 1? â€" without them I can't read a word! First thing the next morning I was at it again. Having looked in all the possible places I began looking in the impossible ones. Sure enough I found them . . . in an empty coal-bin, which I hadn't been near at all. They were not broken but as I picked them up one of the lens dropped out and I could feel one of the ear-lugs was roughened. [ [didn't need to be much of a detective to know how they were carried away and by â€" whom. "How is my Honey?" Daughter will read this column and from it she will know all about her Honey. I wonder if I should have asked the "vet" to give her another kind of "shot". But no â€" for all her badness, she is still a "honey". ^llilf \S LASTING For fast, prolonged relief from headache get Inbtantinb. Thia prescription-like tablet contains not just one, but three proven medical ingredients that ease the pain fast. And the relief is, in most cases, lasting. Try INSTANTINB just once for pain relief and you'll say as thousands do that there's one thing for headache I i . it's Inbtantinb) And try Inbtantinb for other aches, too ... for neuritic or neuralgic pain ... or for the pains and ache* that accompany a cold. A single tablet usually brings prompt relief. 0«l iMlanllne lodty •nd >liHy> hMp II bindy Ifistantiiie l2-Tobl*tTln3fi<! Etonjmlcol 48-TobM BottI* «9^ "TABLE TALKS t clatvcAndt^ews. Someliow or other I just can't remember who it was that said "Success isn't holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well." But I've often thouglit that some- thing similar might aijply to cook- ing. For real cookery isn't a matter of buying the tiinest and most ex- pensive materials and then going ahead according to the book. It's doing what most of us are forced to do â€" try and serve meals that are both tempting and nourishing, and still keep within the bounds of a strictly ron-stretchable budget. * * • Although the front quarter of beef isn't nearly as much sought afterâ€" or as dear â€" as the "choicer" cuts, there's some mighty fine eat- ing on it, nevertheless. .'Vnd if you can serve a chuck steak that's just as delicious â€" in its own way â€" as a sirloin, you're not only getting your money's worth, but proving your- self a real cook and housekeeper as well. So today 1 thought I might pass along two or three recipes which might be a help ot some of you; and I sincerely hope that they will be. The first is for Lemon-Baked Beefsteak J pounds chuck steak 2 tablespoons softened butter Z teaspoons salt Jii teaspoon pepper 1 large lemon, sliced 2 onions, sliced 1 cup catsup * 1 tablespoon Worchester.'jhire sauce '/4 cup water. METHOD: Wipe steak with a damp cloth and place in a large baking dish. Then rub with soft- ened butter. Season. Cover with lemon and onion slices. Combine catsup, Worcestershire sauce and water, and pour over steak. Cover tightly so that meat will steam tender â€" a good idea is to use alum- inum foil to nlake a snug-fitting lid. Bake in a moderate oven (3S0F) for 2 hours, or until tender. Serves 6. The name of this next dish may sound rather strange to you, but the dish itself s both different and tasty. It's called Cider Stew 2 pounds beef chunks, cut from neck or shank i large onions, sliced 3 tablespoons dripping 3 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons salt J<i teaspoon pepper Jii teaspoon thyme 1 cup cider 1 tablespoon catsup 3 large potatoes 4 medium carrots METHOD: Brown onion slices in hot dripping. Push to one side and brown meat. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and thyme and add grgadu- ally. Then stir in cider and catsup. Cover and cook slowly until meat is almost tender, about 2 hours. (If you're pressure cooking, use 15 pounds pressure for 18 minutes.) Cut potatoes and carrots into quar- ters, add to meat and cook slowly 30 minutes longer. (S minutes under pressure). Remove meat and vege- tables to platter and thicken for gravy. Serves 6. <» * • Then there are the short ribs â€" cheaper than a lot of other beef outs, but grand when served up as Barbecued Short Ribs 3 pounds short ribs 1 cup tomato sauce, puree or cat- sup 1 cup water }i cup vinegar ^ 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon prepared horse- radish 1 tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon salt J4 teaspoon pepper 2 onions, chopped fine 2 tablespoons chopped parsley METHOD: Wipe short ribs with damp cloth and place in a deep bowl. Combine tomato sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, horseradish, mustard, seasonings, onion and parsley. Pour over ribs. Allow to stand in a cool cHtris YOU CAN'T BEAT BUCKLEY'S MIXTURE place or refrigerator it least 4 hours â€" overnight if possible, to develop best flavor. Place in D>utch oven or shallow baking pan. Cover and cook until tender, about 3 hours. Add more water as needed. Skim excess ,fat off sauce, then spoon sauce over ribs. And if you'd like to turn this into a grand DUTCH OVEN DINNER here's liow to go about it. An hour before end of cooking time, peel 12 medium size onions and put along- side meat. Then cut a circle of aluminum ioil â€" using lid for pat- tenâ€"and fit into pan. Put in six well scrubbed potatoes, on top of foil, and out of sauce. Cover and continue cooking. Meat, onions and potatoes should be done in an hour. So long for now â€" be seeing youl <^N])£f SCHOOL iEXSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren JESUS' MINISTRY TO HUMAN NEEDS Mark 5:22-23, 35-42; Luke 7:20-23. GOLDEN TEXT: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. â€"John 10:10 How can you account for the fact that the story of Jesus is still "news"? After nineteen centuries it is written and told in more lang- uages than ever before. The poet- ess wrote: "I love to tell the story! 'Tis pleasant to repeat, What seems each time I tfll it. More wonderfully sweet." This lesson illustrates one of the fascinating features of the story. Jesus was the greatest miracle worker that ever lived. But it is not so much the miracle as the spirit which prompts the miracle that attracts. There was no selfishness in Him. He was deeply moved by human need and ministered to it. The raising of the daughter of Jairus is a typical incident The father's earnest entreaty brought him to the home. The unbelieving scorners were put from the room. Taking the hand of the twelve-year- old he said in effect, "Little lassie, I say unto thee, get up." She for whom the mourners had begun their wailing arose and walked. Jesus was always moved with •ompassion at the sight of suffering. He put forth his hand and touched the unclean leper and healed him. He gave sight to the blind and hear- ing to the deaf. Moreover he taught the poor and forgave their sins. John the Baptist on hearing of these mighty works was satisfied that Jesus was the Messias. They ought to convince any thoughtful person that Jesus was Divine. John an eye-witness to these events wrote, "And many other signs did Jesus in the presence of his disci- ples, which are not-written in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life throigli His name," SOME MEMORY An astonishing gentleman is Leslie Welch, known in England •a The Memory Man, wlio has an HBbclieveable ability to remember UxXt and figures of every kind. Facts and figures are a habit with Welch. He has a photographic mem- ory and seems unable to forget any facts or information. He began his entertaining when he was in the Army and found that his fellow soldiers enjoyed asking liim qu ;- tions about sport; they used to sit round hurricane lamp in the desert and ask questions for hours, and his speed and certainty in reply led him to take part in many troop shows. He revealed that his brain works best at high speed, and in the stage show in which he now appears he usually answers some twenty-five questions in ten minutes. He man- ages to keep his information up to date by readin^j voraciously, not only newspapers, but sporting diaries and calendars, historical and geographical books and so on. He always remembers what he reads, so much so that when he was on a station platform and . a fellow pas- senger asked him if the Arsenal - a very famous English football team - had won that afternoon he gave the result. He was then asked if anotlier well known team had won. Welch, wlio 'i.id read the evening paper half an hour earlier, casually gave the questioner the results of every football match played that day. .'Vn:.*..-! to This Week's Pu2zU St R A M 1 P A K *\ 1 ^ir R ["4 A 1 17 E F E fi A I E AJ ^ T A,M 1 M Q> i.
