The average per son does not know that fish Is fresh for months —twelve months to be exact—although most of *lt Is sold before that length of time has elapsed. If the house wife wants fish which la out of the water twenty-four hours or so, she should ask for "green fish,” the correct term for freshly cnught fish. The reason flsh Is fresh for so long a lierlod Is that It Is frozen as soon as jt Is taken from the fishing boats and decomposition stogs Immediately. It Is kept frozen for months at a time, In refrigeration plants, and shipped In the some state to the local market man. He It is who defrosts the flsh and sells It direct to the housewife. As a matter of fact, this frozen fish Is more wholesome than many of the "green" flsh unless you are absolutely sure of the local fish market. Green fish ure simply packed in Ice, but not frozen, and- while decomposition Is somewhat retarded, it Is not definitely stopped as when fish are frozen. Remember, flsh Is fresh and whole some for months, but Is green, for only a few hours. After a frozen fish has thawed It should be used at once, as decompo sition sets In at once. Freezing and thawing makes such flsh dangerous for health. Smoking fish is an art as well as an Industry. Each Individual who smokes fish in a small way as well as each manufacturer who cures on a large scale, has his own secret process, and his own formula, 'there are two methods—hot smoking and cold smok ing. In the hot smoking process, the fish are hung close to the fire and dur ing the few hours In which they are exposed to the smoke they are par tially cooked by the heat, as well as flavored by the smoke. Cold smoking often requires several weeks to com plete the process. Hard woods are used chiefly; soft woods contain too much resin which imparts a bitter flavor. The United States government watches over all out food products and has sanctioned refrigeration plants to keep fish frozen up to twelve months. Statistics prove, however, that most of this frozen flsli Is consumed in from four to five months. What to Eat. A good luncheon disn which is sub stantial enough for a main dish Is; Luncheon Maca Iron I—Cook three fourths of a cup I.ful of maoation-. broken into inch lengths in boiling salted water until tender; drain. rinse in com water and drain again. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, cook iu it n slice of onion and carrot until somewhat softened, then remove the vegetables, add two tablespoon fuls of'dour, one-fourth of a teaspoon lul of salt and a dash of red pepper, cook until frothy, then add one-half cupful each of beef broth and tomato pouree, a full cupful of either, stir and cook until boiling, add the maca roni and one-half cupful of grated cheese, then with two forks mix the macaroni anil cheese with the sauce. Cover and let stand over hot water until thoroughly hot. Serve hot. When serving fish the following sauce will add much to the flavor of the dish: Almond Horseradish Sauce.—Blanch and chop fine twenty-four almonds. Press the. vinegar front four table spoonfuls of horseradish, season with salt and cayenne and add the almonds and two tnblespoonfuls of thick sweet cream. Mix well and serve. Here Is a salad which will serve twenty-five portions: Molded Crab Salad.—Take one fourth cupful of granulated gelatin (four tnblespoonfuls), soften it in one pint of chicken stock, dissolve over hot water. When well dissolved add one-fourth cupful of lemon juice, and slowly beat in a quart of mayonnaise. Drain two cupfuls of grapefruit pulp, two cupfuls of crushed pineapple and two pound cans of crab meat,; mix all together In the mayonnaise jelly. Puck in molds and chill. Serve on lettuce and pass more mayonnaise. "Hutu* Around Orchard PROPER PRUNING HELPS VINEYARD Owners of commercial or home vineyards would do well to adopt the long cane pruning system, demonstra tions conducted last year by W. R. Martin, Jr., extension horticulturist of the Kansas State Agricultural college, showed. Ninety per cent of the vineyards In Kansas are pruned on a short cane system at present, Mr. Martin esti mates. His demonstrations, dupli cated five times each In Doniphan, Shawnee, and Wyandotte counties, have convinced him that the yield will be doubled at least on the long cane system as compared with the short cane. Four pruning methods were em ployed In the demonstrations—the four-cane KnlfTen system, four canes, 10 buds long on each vine; the two cane Knltfen, two canes, 20 buds long; the short arm fan, eight canes, five buds long; and the spur, 1314.canes, three buds long. Average yields. In pounds per acre, from the four pruning systems In the 13 demonstrations made were as fol lows: Four-cane KnlfTen, 3,570; two-cane KnlfTen, 3,905; short arm fan, 2,293; spur, 1,745. The reason for the Increase, Mr. Martin explained, Is that the first two or three buds on a cane either are sterile or produce very small bunches of grapes. The most fruitful buds are found on the sixth to ninth nodes. Buds from the ninth on diminish In fruitfulness, but are more produc tive than those under the fifth. There fore on short cane pruning sytems, the most productive buds are cut ofT. In conducting pruning operations, which should be done from December 1 to March 1, Mr. Martin pointed out further, secondary growth from nodes on the fruiting wood should be en tirely cut away. In a Doniphan coun ty demonstration canes pruned to leave the secondary growth yielded 3,019 pounds to the acre, while sim ilar canes without spurs yielded 4,386 pound to the acre. Grapes and Bush Fruits Need Winter Protection Grape vines and berry bushes do not ordinarily need winter protection In the commercial fruit areas, but in the other sections where winter tem peratures commonly fall to 25 or 30 degrees below zero, they should be sheltered, according to Prof. Joseph Oskamp at the New York State Col lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y. Tills Is often provided by “laying down’’ the canes before the ground freezes, and covering them with earth. With grapes, this is easily done If they have been trained to the fan system. Berry canes also may be laid on the ground and covered with straw and earth. Loosening the plants In the ground with a spade will often aid in doing this. The different kinds of bush fruits as well as the different varieties of each kind vary widely In their hardi ness. Red raspberries are the hardi est of the brambles; black raspber ries are Intermediate; while black berries are the most tender. Currants and gooseberries are hardy and need no winter protection. The grapes best suited to cold loca tions are, in general, those clnssed as early or very early which mature in a relatively short season. Protect Against Winter Damage From All Rodents That young orchard which Is coming along so nicely should be protected against wiDter damage from rabbits and mice, The best device of this sort is a tube of old window screening or other finely meshed wire, placed about the trunk of eacli tree. It should reach two feet above the ground. Old sacks or corn stalks are some times tied around the trunks to keep off rabbits. While this device may serve, it actually encourages mice damage, since these pests nest in any convenient trash. Better clean and keep away all such rubbish, and be sure of safety by using the screening at only a little more cost Horticultural Hints Strawberry fields must be covered with a straw mulch to a depth of four to five inches. • * • Keep a weather eye on the bugs and blights. Keep the sprayer In working order and shoot on sight. * * • • It Is much better to take out the old canes and keep the raspberries and blackberries clean.
