seed corn but not for corn

While everyone realizes that
it takes a sharp knife to da a
real good job of cutting meat
many do not know just how
best to sharpen a knife and
keep it sharp
New knives are not sharp but
they have been ground down to
a point where they are ready
to be properly beveled and
sl^ipened. How tj sharpen, both
old and new Knives has been

In speaking of steeling, ho
says that the steel is used vo
straighten the edge of a knife
and not to sharpen it. The knife
edge is generally turned wnen
it comes in contact with a bone
or other hard object. This ex
plains the need for frequent
steeling of the knife, as the
butcher does in his ship
A hair-dozen strokes on each
side of the knife are sufficient
in steeling. Holding the knife

The dark greasy stains that
accumulate on the interior .-ur- '
faces of ovens in kitchen ranges
are difficult to clean. Ordinary
washing or wiping will not re
move tnem because the grease :
has "baked on." Scouring often
is used but. unless done with j
care, may damage the enamel I
finish.
The fumes of ammonia are
helpful in softening this sub
stance and making it eas'er to
wash or wipe off. Home eco
nomists of the U. S. Department |
of Agriculture suggest placing a
shallow bowl of household am
monia in the oven for several
hours overnight The fumes giv
?n off than will hart tUn? to
looaen the greasy stains. A bad
ly soiled oven may need this
treatment for several successive
nights
To keep the oven clean, ioiru
economists advise leaving tht
door open after use until the .
oven is cool This will "air out"
many of the volatile odors and 1
oils i rum baking. This also helps
prevent rusting of metal sur
faces by the steam irom food
Any " food that bolls over o
spills In the oven should be
wiped up at once and not al
lowed to burn on. I
