Make Your Own Rennet 
Mrs. E. M. Anderson Suggests an Inexpensive Way 
A RECENT article in the American 
Agriculturist on making cheese 
at home speaks of buying the necessary 
rennet. We have found that commercial 
rennet, either in tablets or liquid form, is 
not very satisfactory, besides being so 
expensive that its brings the cost of cheese 
up to almost the price of that on the mar¬ 
ket. 
However, the problem sol ed itself 
automatically when we found that any 
butcher would save us a calf’s stomach 
for a quarter. It is best to have the 
stomach from a nice veal, and the work 
of preparing it requires about ten min¬ 
utes. It should be rinsed in two or three 
waters till it looks clean, but too much 
rinsing is injurious and scalding spoils it. 
After rinsing well, put it in a two-quart 
jar with about a quart of water and at 
least a cup of salt. In a week or ten days 
the liquid will be the finest of rennet and 
after using from it the jar may be filled 
with more brine indefinitely. Once 
started, we are always sure of a season’s 
supply and I’ve no idea how long it would 
last if one continued to use it; we always 
start a fresh batch each spring, but it 
can’t spoil as long as there is plenty of good 
brine. Test it at first by trying a tea¬ 
spoonful in a cup of milk. If it forms a 
firm curd in 20 minutes or half an hour it 
is right, and a cupful will set 5 gallons of 
milk; but if it won’t it should stand a few 
days longer, when it will have become 
strong enough to stand the test. 
Many persons imagine that expensive 
equipment is needed to make cheese, but 
it is a mistaken idea, unless one expects 
to make it in large quantities. 
Ours costs nothing but a little work and 
not much of that, while the cheese made 
at home is indescribably delicious. Too 
much emphasis can hardly be placed upon 
the superiority of this home prepared ren¬ 
net. The cost is almost nothing and it is 
well worth while for junket desserts alone. 
It’s easy to add a few cans to your shell 
at least once a week. Here are a list of 
useful ones: 
Chicken, tomato and vegetable soup, 
peas, beans, tomatoes, corn, pork and 
beans, pineapple, peaches, macaroni 
cherries. 
Also, I keep on hand tapioca, marsh¬ 
mallow cream, confectioner’s sugar for 
quick icings, mince meat, cocoanut, 
pickles and jams.— Pauline Carmen. 
Obedience in Children 
J UST as soon as the child is old enough 
to reason—and this age is reached 
much earlier than we usually assume— 
obedience to law should be given equal 
stress with obedience to individuals. 
Law is universal; the child meets it at 
every turn. Parents cannot always be 
with their children to guide and control 
them, and the sooner they teach them the 
inevitable operation of law, the better 
fitted the children will be to meet the 
future. 
Two mothers of my acquaintance fol¬ 
lowed two distinct methods with their 
children. The first became their mentor, 
calling them each morning to get ready 
for school long before it was necessary. 
She followed this call with a continuous 
supervision of their preparations and 
with frequent remonstrances, such as 
“You’ll be late! Do hurry! It is 
almost nine o’clock,” (when it was not 
half-past eight) until the children were 
off. This same mother had a habit of 
setting the clock forward, and, this being 
discovered by the children, their demoral¬ 
ization was complete. 
The second mother, as soon as her 
children reached school age, said to each 
one, “Now, my dear, you have learned to 
tell time, and Mother, as well as your 
teacher, will expect you to be prompt at 
school. I will remind you the first two

A quart of new milk, sweetened and 
flavored, and mixed with a teaspoonful of 
good rennet, makes a delicious custard 
capable of such a variety of changes that 
it may be the foundation of innumerable 
desserts—and any one can prepare 
rennet successfully in ten minutes. 
or three mornings, but after that, you 
must depend upon yourself.”

The Emergency Shelf 
A N emergency shelf in any kitchen 
soon pays for itself. If you haven t 
one, start one by getting a few things at a 
time, as the family pocket-book allows it, 
and you will soon have your shelf well- 
stocked. Here are a few of the standby 
items I find useful: 
Gelatine , jello and junket, for quick 
desserts. 
Instantaneous coffee: fine when the men 
folk are in a hurry for breakfast. _ . 
Bouillon cubes, a nice, delicious drmk, 
especially in cold weather. 
Salad dressing, I make a quart at a 
time. 
Cocoa, purchased by the pound. I use 
it in all recipes calling for chocolate and 
it does just as well. 
are 
In one time or other during the first or 
second week, each child at least once 
failed to reach school before the bell 
sounded. But in this one tardiness he 
learned his lesson. Though the mother 
knew he would be late, she did not depart 
from the rule, and, while no one could 
have been more sympathetic over the 
resulting bad mark, at the same time, 
she made the child realize that, if he were 
careful, it need not occur again. He 
result was that her children early learne 
the value of time. , 
There are simple systems of reward 
for very young children, which are 01 as¬ 
sistance in helping to establish cer ^: in 
beneficial habits at an age when habi s 
easily formed, but these rewar s 
should be discontinued as the child gro^ s 
older, and appeal should be made to ® 
sense of justice and fairness to other^ 
which children often possess to an un 
common degree.—J ulia W. Wolfe.
