The World Famine and the Duty of Canada
Description
An account of the resource
This privately published pamphlet was produced by the noted Canadian lawyer John Skirving Ewart. Educated at Upper Canada College and Osgoode Hall, Ewart lived in Winnipeg from 1882 to 1904 before moving to Ottawa to become an outstanding counsel before the Supreme Court of Canada and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (“John Skirving Ewart”). A fierce Canadian nationalist, Ewart notes that a decrease in the European food supply made Canada “the most important factor in the world. She has illimitable areas of choicest lands all ready for the plough. She could add enormously to her exportable surplus in a single year. She could save vast numbers of persons from famine, and thousands from death. She could help materially to preserve a falling world from anarchy and overwhelming ruin. She could do all this—if she tried to do it.” He criticizes Prime Minister Borden’s inaction, while repeating quotations that urge farmers to increase productivity, as important to the war effort as fighting in the trenches.

Your Farm Has a War Job
Description
An account of the resource
While food was always a key driver of Western Canada’s economy, the war meant that Prairie production had global consequences. This brochure, published by the North-West Line Elevators Association, encourages farmers to tailor their production to shifting British and Allied needs. “‘Farming as usual’, in Canada, is out for the duration” it proclaimed, and “it is hoped by the first of next year, the Government may be able to announce what acreages should be devoted to various crops in 1943.” By 1942, wheat production had already strategically decreased in favour of pork, eggs, and dairy products, but Canada’s flax production, crucial for the manufacture of linseed oil for camouflage paint, was still below demand. With a foreword by Minister of Agriculture James G. Gardinar, this book illustrates farmers’ and companies’ substantial redirection toward the war effort. Indeed, the war was all-encompassing: Pickersgill, whose brother was Mackenzie King’s executive assistant from 1937 to 1948, was soon asked to be Commissioner of Japanese Placement, a position he accepted with great reluctance (Sunahara 118).

Blue Ribbon Cook Book
Description
An account of the resource
The Blue Ribbon Company was established by George Frederick and John Galt in Winnipeg around 1897; the cousins had already established a wholesale grocery business in 1882 (Driver, <em>Culinary</em> 928). Though the copyright for this book was apparently entered in 1905, the actual date of issue for this edition was probably around 1936. Women might have distributed the tear-out coupons to their friends and neighbours, illustrating how the company tapped into an extant community and brought them together around a common product. As in many company cookbooks, this publication includes a section for women to add their own recipes, which they usually did in messy handwriting stocked with their own abbreviations. The book also includes a section on invalid cookery, commonplace in earlier household tomes. But while older recipe books might also include home remedies for serious illnesses, late-nineteenth- and twentieth-century publications usually deferred to doctors for such medicinal treatments. Still, their invalid cookery recipes reinforced women’s continued importance as healers through food.

The Real Home-Keeper: A Perpetual Honeymoon for the Winnipeg Bride
Description
An account of the resource
Clearly serving as a local business advertiser as much as a household guide, the first edition of this series was published in Vancouver around 1911–13, but versions soon followed for Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, and Montreal (Driver, <em>Culinary</em> 1094). The series was retitled <em>The Bride’s Book</em> in 1928. It highlights forgotten food products like Hudson’s Bay Tea and suggests the novelty of electric cookers and dried pasta in the early decades of the twentieth century. Elizabeth Driver ventures that the recipes may have been taken from an American source (<em>Culinary</em>, 1082). Titles such as “Chicago Sponge Cake” seem to suggest as much, and the <em>San Francisco Sunday Call</em> for 16 June 1912 carried the same recipe. Advertisements in <em>The Real Home Keeper</em> also reveal concerns about germs and sanitation in this period: the Arctic Ice Company advertisement assures customers that its product is safe.

Souvenir of Fiftieth Anniversary: First Continental Train, June 28th 1886-1936
Description
An account of the resource
This item was produced for the fiftieth anniversary of Canada’s first transcontinental passenger train journey. Though the last spike was driven on 7 November 1885, the winter and ongoing repairs to the track delayed the first cross-Canada trip. The train finally left Montreal’s Dalhousie Station on 28 June 1886 and arrived at Port Moody on 4 July 1886. It consisted of a locomotive, two baggage cars, one mail car, one second-class coach, two immigrant sleepers, two first-class coaches, two sleeping cars, and a diner (“Canadian Pacific Railway”). The fiftieth anniversary was celebrated with a surge of publicity, including the launch of new “Jubilee” trains and celebrations as the original locomotive made stops across the country (see “C.P.R. Takes Over” and “Celebrations Planned”). A commemorative fruitcake was prepared as well, perhaps for the celebrations in Montreal: fruitcake was a common treat at special events like weddings and was sometimes kept and eaten at significant anniversaries. Showing remarkable resilience to age, the nuts, dried fruit, and icing are still intact after over 75 years, wrapped in an early form of cellophane.

United Farm Women of Manitoba Cook Book
Description
An account of the resource
This volume demonstrates how cookbooks can provide insights into other cultural circumstances. In this case, the full-page advertisement for the telephone demonstrates the early incentives behind rural telephone installation; another advertisement promoted pumps that could turn well water into running water in the home. With regard to the recipes, most have only minimal instructions, a reminder that basic ingredient lists were more important than detailed directions when, for example, every stove was different. Folk measuring systems also hung on, particularly for butter, the firm texture of which made it most logical to dispense with cups and instead use analogies like “the size of an egg.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, this book was modeled after the United Farm Women of Alberta’s cookbook, published in 1928. The UFWM, however, was founded first: the Manitoba Grain Growers’ Association allowed females as associate members in 1912 (Goldsborough). They officially became the United Farm Women of Manitoba in 1918 (Bumstead 268). The owner of this copy also inserted advertising recipes—featuring in this case Nutty Club Gum Drops and Baker’s Chocolate—which she fastened to the book with a pin, a clever alternative to today’s staples.

United Farm Women of Alberta Cook Book
Description
An account of the resource
The UFWA was created in 1915 as a women’s parallel to the United Farmers of Alberta. Nanci Langford’s<em> Politics, Pitchforks and Pickle Jars</em> notes that the first UFWA cookbook was produced in 1928 from recipes donated by members from across the province (xiv); with eight subsequent editions and many more printings, the book eventually sold over 125,000 copies (Driver, <em>Culinary</em> 1055-56). The foreword, by Mrs. Vera MacDonald of the Department of Agriculture’s Extension program, was new to this revised fifth edition. It refers to the housewife as an “artist, for the result of her work is a symphony of life in which all parts of her body, furnished with the foods needed for their functions, play together to produce the harmonious crescendo of ‘an abundant life.’” MacDonald also declares that “For the symphony of ‘Healthful Eating’ learn Canada’s Food Rules and, using them as a guide, serve well balanced meals every day.” This book is notable for including recipes from a variety of ethnic groups; it also contains multiple recipes for date squares, listed under such varied names as “Health Food” and “Matrimonial Cake.” Another noteworthy recipe is “Mock Chicken Salad,” made with diced cooked pork, readily available on Alberta farms.

Five Roses Cook Book
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Lake of the Woods Milling Company, which produced Five Roses flour, was founded in 1887 in Quebec, but the company proudly celebrated its grain, “from the sun-flooded prairie lands of Western Canada.” The first edition of this book was published in 1913; this version, with its colour plates, is from 1915. Multiple printings and editions in both French and English ensured that the book, distributed for free, was available in nearly a million Canadian homes. Though belied by the handsome colour lithographs and aggressive exhortation to “Remember the Brand,” testimonials and contributed recipes gave the book the feel of the already well-established community cookbook. As Elizabeth Driver explains, such “participatory advertising cookbooks” created “a national repertoire of recipes, which was then disseminated to the population at large through the company’s marketing channels” (“Cookbooks as Primary” 266). The string to hang on a kitchen nail and this copy’s messy annotations (including adding eggs back into an eggless recipe) speak to its human uses. The book also celebrates the flour’s purported “hygienic” quality, as the Victorian emphasis on cleanliness evolved into early twentieth-century germ consciousness. Five Roses grain was supposedly more sanitary and kept longer, as it was “cleaned, scoured, ground gradually by modern process, bolted many times through silk, packed automatically into absolutely new full-weight bags and barrels.” The book declared, “<em>Five Roses</em> comes to particular housewives immaculate, untouched by human hands. Where else can you get so pure a flour?”</p>
