Farm and home: A happy Christmas everybody - Pedigree seed

With Christmas almost upon us are you one of those with everything under control so that you feel relaxed and happy? Or are you one of the majority, still with presents to buy, cakes to make, holidays to arrange and finding it hard to believe that December 25 is really so close? There are so many bazaars, parties, unexpected callers and so on just before Christmas that we know we have to get organised early if we are not to spoil our enjoyment of a very happy time by having a wild rush at the end. Traditional mincemeat, Plum pudding, Biscuits, Fondant. The Minister for Agriculture (the Hon. E. K. Hoar, M.L.A.), has advised that supplies of pedigree seed wheat, oats and barley will be available for distribution from the forthcoming harvest at the Department\u27s Research Stations

Farm and home - Spare that roast

We still speak of roast dinners when we should really refer to them as baked. Originally, the term roasting was used to describe cooking on a spit over an open fire, but today most of our meats are baked in ovens

Farm and home - Consider the lemon.

Surely the lemon is one of the most useful of all fruits! We can use it in cooking and cleaning, and even in Milady\u27s beauty care, and wise is the family that grows at least one lemon tree and so has on tap lemons at their best—picked fresh, full of juice and flavour and rich in Vitamin C

Farm and home - Some popular puddings - Colourful touches on knitteds

Hot steamed or boiled puddings are welcome fare on the dinner table, especially on cool evenings, and they give lots of scope for variation. Puddings containing suet may be boiled or steamed, though steaming gives the lighter result, but cake mixtures should be steamed as they tend to break up if boiled. Everyone seems to have caught the knitting bug this winter, and brightly coloured jumpers and cardigans are very popular. To add individuality, colour and dash to a plain pullover try embroidering designs in knitting stitch

Farm and home - The sauce is so important.

Hot dishes are tops at parties these days, and to the party giver a quantity of well-made white sauce gives a good start to the quick and easy preparation of very many really delicious dishes which are sure to be flavour favourites. Don\u27t restrict their use to parties—the family will love them for luncheon and of course a lot of left-overs can be dressed up and made welcome on the meal table by the use of the sauce in one of its many forms. Household hints. Plain silver that has been neglected and become tarnished may be very simply cleaned using aluminium foil and bicarbonate of soda. Egg spoons which have not been washed soon after use and have discoloured (due to the presence of sulphur in the egg) respond to this treatment

Rhetoric and reality in American political pluralism : Jackson-Calhoun controversy in perspective

The essential problem of politics are ancient general, and persistent. A particular political system, such as that of the United States, can be interpreted as a way of coping with recurring problems. Some of the ways a political system deals with problems may be unique, some commonplace. Because it meets its problems in a particular time and place with a special body of past experiences to go on, each political system is unique; so too the American system is unique. But because some problems have recurred ever since civilized men have tried to live together, every political system has had to deal with enduring dilemmas. Its solutions may be unique, the basic questions are not. The focus of this paper is directed toward one particular problem -- the issue of conflict and consensus, political power and political order, in a changing democratic society with politics seen as the means whereby the community balances the tension between conflict and consensus. The American ancestors chose to live in a community, with its numerous and obvious advantages. But, when strong human beings seek the company of one another, conflict seems to be an inescapable aspect of community and hence of the human condition. While conflict has been the focus of attention by many -- philosophers, historians, social scientists, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Locke -- it is James Madison who perhaps more than any other single individual gave shape to American conflict in his modeling the American constitutional system. He held the conflict is built into the very nature of man, and thus a system must be devised through which it is channeled and controlled. Conflict and consensus, among other things, involve the interaction of power, order, liberty, and flexibility. It is to the Age of Jackson and the political philosophies promulgated by the founding fathers, that this research turns to gain an insight into how factions are channeled and controlled in the United States -- to gain insight into basic pluralistic political patterns of the United States
