Domestic Rabbit Cooking Hints Are Offered The mild-flavored meat of the domestic rabbit is quite differ ent from that of the gamey wild rabbit. Ethel Diedrichson, extension food and nutrition specialist at the University of Nebraska, says that domestic rabbit is in creasingly available in meat markets throughout the year in ready-to-cook form fresh and frozen. Many homemakers who have never tried to cook rabbit might use it more often if they had more varied recipes available. A new booklet on rabbit cook ery has been prepared by foods specialists at the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. It is based on new experimental work with cooking the young "fryer" rab bits that are currently gain ing favor. "Fryer" is the market name given to rabbits 8 to 12 wreeks old. Their weight ready-to-cook ranges from IV2 pounds to about 3V2. The smallest weighing l1,. to 2 pounds, may be fried sat isfactorily, in much the same way as chicken, say the home economists. These smallest rab bits may also be stewed and the meat used in recipes, similar to cooked chicken dishes. "Roaster" is the trade name for older rabbits. Usually these weigh over 4 pounds and are 8 months or older. The roasters, and also the larger fryer rab bits, need long, slow' cooking in a covered pan to make them tender. Best methods of cook- Mrs. Orville Willms, Mrs. Irvin ' ing them are stewing that is, like weather that Nebraskans have been enjoying has turned the thoughts of women to new spring outfits. Gerda Peterson, extension clothing specialist at the Uni versity of Nebraska, says the choice of color comes first many times when women choose clothing. Many times color will attract a woman to an outfit before she notices the cut line or fabric. Here are a few rules to observe in planning a color scheme. The ma'n parts of a costume (dress, suit, or coat) will usually be a subdued tone with brighter tones for small areas, such as hats, bags, gloves, blouses, etc. One color should dominate a costume. but there may be vary ing amounts of other colors to add variety. There should be a repetition of these colors in the costume to create a rhythmical effect. If the dominate color scheme is of warm tones, there should be accents of cool colors; if the dominate colors are cool, there should be accents of warm. A constume should also have some colors that are light in value and some that are dark in value to give contrast and character.
