Nelson, Home Agent Tells About Cultured Cream By Patricia Nelson went out of style with Clabber Culture -Clabber ily cow, and with it went some delicious things to eat, delicately crumbly cookies, cakes with a distinctive flavor, Grandmother's favorite salad dressing. But clabber is staging a comeback under a new name, "cultured sour cream." Dairymen say today's cultured sour cream is even better than Grandmother's clabber, because it's made under carefully controlled conditions, to provide just the right amount of acid or sourness, every time. The U. S. Department of Agriculture says once homemakers get acquainted with cultured sour cream, they're likely to become repeat users.

Some like it in place of shortening in baking, some use it as a salad dressing: some people like what it does on top of a baked potato; others use it as a topping for desserts. When market samplers of the U. S. Department of. Agriculture asked homemakers in a Midwestern city about their use of cultured sour cream, two thirds said they did not use the product; most of those who did use it had been using it less than four years.

But when these homemakers were asked if they would use it again, 78 percent said they "probably would, 17 percent "might, but not sure, and only 5 percent said "probably won't." As the name suggests, it's cream about as rich as coffee cream, that has given a delicately sour taste by careful control of the souring process. Your family might just like it. Let's Try Stewing Chicken For A Change With so many high food prices this spring, many homemakers are looking for new ways to stretch their food dollars. Poultry of all kinds has remained relatively low and offers some good buys. According to U.

S. standards hens or stewing chickens, or fowl are mature female chickens with meat less tender than that of a roaster, and with a non-flexible breastbone. They range in weight from 3 to 7 pounds dressed. A favorite with many, and a way to stretch chicken is chicken fricassee. Birds especially suit- able for fricassee are those past their prime for roasting, but not quite in the stewing class.

This method is a combination of browning, steaming, and stewing which results in meat that is tender, juicy and well flavored. Braising is another name for the same method. It is desirable to cut a fowl for fricassee into many pieces. Wash the prices in clear cold water and follow this procedure. Mix 1 teaspoon salt, teathe pieces of chicken in the spoon pepper a and 1 cup flour.

Roll seasoned flour. In a Dutch oven, place enough fat to cover the surface, about inch deep. Have the fat hot but not smoking. Brown the pieces quickly turning them to brown on both sides. Pour over the browned chicken 1 cup of cream or milk, cover, and bake in a slow oven, about 325 degrees for one hour, or until tender.

Remove the cover during the last 15 minutes if a crisper crust is desired. Remove the pieces of chicken, but keep them hot and make a gravy from the liquid. To serve place the chicken on a platter and pour the gravy over it or serve the gravy separately. Always serve gravy hot. Scalloped Chicken For something different for spring, try Scalloped Chicken.

Yield: from 6 to 8 servings Size of pan: 10 to 14 inches Temperature: 375 degrees F. Time: from 20 to 45 minutes. 1 3 or 31 pound chicken, cut into pieces. cups water( about) 2 teaspoons salt for the dressing. 6 cups stale bread cubes One third cup butter.
