Reports from the meeting indicate that there is an enthusiastic revival of interest in Beef Shorthorns in North America. This has been brought about by breeders producing larger and growthier animals that are finding a ready market in cross breeding program- mes. t It is -interesting to note that the Shorthorn bull Et- trick Gold Standard, bred by Mr. Hogg was Reserve Grand Champion at the Internatidn- al Bull Sale in Brandon the Saturday previous to the Shorthorn . meetings. - provinces and seven states were represented in this im- +f portant Shorthorn show and sale, The sale of 53 bulls averaged $1,246.00.

This course deals with many ideas for yeast recipes, and was sponsored by the Dept. of Agriculture and Food, Home Economics Branch, and is given free of charge through Women's Institutes, to those interested in such a course. One all day' session was held 10 am, to 430 pm. During the morning the basic principles of "Baking With Yeast" were explained, .| "What goes into a loaf of bread", "Tools for the job", "Working with Yeast", etc. Time, temperature and tech- nique were stressed as most important factors in baking with yeast. i Several other things must be exactly right, in order to have good bread, the quality of th yeast, the lightness or fermentation of the dough, as well as the heat of the oven. Baking with yeast re- quires observation, and good judgment to decide when all is right, no "precise" rules can.be given. ~The Leaders demonstrated making a white loaf, pan rolls, a loaf of brown bread, also- a- French stick. The two finger test was used -- proper technique for knead- ing, rolling and shaping was explained and demonstrated. A delicious pot luck lun- cheon was enjoyed at the noon hour, when many an appetizing dish tempted the weight-watcher. After the luncheon period ~la richer dough was mixed, and the fancy breads and rolls were demonstrated, A pan of Chelsea buns, apricot el, and a Heart for Valen- tines Day, were fashioned by the "would be" expert Lead- ers. The yeast Heart was later decorated "with red ic- ling." The class participated in the shaping of many kinds of rolls, such as the fancy Fan-tans, bow-knots, butter- horns, figure-eights, rosettes etc. When the loaves of bread were taken from the oven, they were judged' by the class, and faults pointed out. Later when the rolls were baked, a cup of tea was served and the delicate brown, "all sizes and shaped" rolls with the «excellent flavour" were served. They were truly de- licious, and all members of the class excelled themselves in the tasting department, (Mmmm!) To sum up the course, yeast dough lends itself to many adaptations, the cook who uses a little ingenuity will see any number of varia- tions that can be made from the recipes given in the book, without changing the character of the basic dough. Old stand-by recipes can be re-created with new ideas and zest, and everyone en- joys trying something new and different. Those who. were interested" enough to take the course, are in the kitchen baking bread, and they are not only saving pennies, but their fa- milies love it. domesticated at last. she is now in the kitchen "where the action is".
