success and wonder how he has done
so well, and why the company should
"take on" to a country boy like that.
Now, what ] mean to say is this:
Whoever you are, if you want to be
a man, go to work with a good firm.
for whatever you can get. The firm
will soon need a man to do some
thing better than what they start
you at, and you will soon see things
staring you in the face, and call;
for a man, and then all you will
need to meet this new position is
manhood, and if you have any man
hood about you, your superiors will
soon see it. And just as fast as
your work will admit, your salary will
be increased, and soon you will have
an enviable reputation and good posi-
ton.
So don't be afraid to work, and
don't grumble about your pay.
With best wishes to all,

box Ct find a bushel crate light and
convenient, as it is nearly as high
as the stove). Draw fresh cold water
and have a large vessel filed. Get
a clean flour sack Cor cloth which,
when doubled will be the size of one),
and you are ready for work. Let the
fruit be as done as you wish, but be
sure it is boiling when you begin to
fill the jars. 1 use a small tea cup
for filling, as it wastes no fruit and
in dipping you get enough of the
juice. Wet the cloth, lay one end
on the box, set jar on it, then wrap
the wet cloth all around the jar until
you have all the glass covered. Dip
half cup of fruit, place your open
hand over the mouth of the jar, and
hear it hiss while you count six.
then remove your hand and proceed
to fill the jar at once When full, ad-
just rubber and top and screw on
tightly; then, invert the filed jar on
the table to cool and the deed is
done. Before filing the next jar, be
sure to have the wrapping cloth
wrung, cooled and rewet.
Will some reader who is successful
in canning cor please send her
recipe, also some one who has canned
okra2 When canning tomatoes, don't
forget to put a pinch of salt in the
top of each jar as this enhances the
flavor. He who must buy every
thing find that it pays to can things.
and you who can have so many
things in summer without money,
can make it pay you doubly. Try it.

AUNT JENNIE.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-07-12

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Some of us
boys are now looking for jobs or
work. Some are college graduates,
some are not. Some say, Il will not
work for less than two dollars per
day." some say, eff I can just get
enough to live on at the start, I will
be satisfied"
It is this latter class which will
succeed. The young men who make
their salary the primary object in
seeking work are too often let pass
by. But when a young college man
applies for work with some manu-
featuring company, and the presi-
dent asks him, "What price will you
work for?" and his reply is, "Try me
and see what I am worth to you, and
pay me accordingly" This young
man is very likely to get work, and
receive about thirty dollars per
month, instead of seventy-fve as he
had counted on before he left col
lege.
And right here is where too many
get discouraged-this beginning on
a small salary. And often two-thirds
of them work a few months and quit.
But the remnant hold on; they are
those young men from the farm who
know nothing but to work and to do
that the best they can, and are sat
isfed with small pay. In a couple
of years their salaries are doubled
and many of the first who dropped
out stand off amazed at such a ones

Our Friends, the Birds.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-1 was glad to
read in the last weeks issue of The
Progressive Farmer, a letter written
by Thomas Albert Pope, in defense
of our friends, the birds. The letter
was on a well-chosen subject and one
that should command the attention,
not only of the boys of North Caro-
liaa, but of every citizen who has
the best interests of our State at
heart.
The question whether or not our
birds shall be protected, is. one on the
decision of which largely depends
whether or not we are going on from
year to year paying a constantly in
creasing percentage of u vegetable
wealth to the insects. The earth and
air is teeming with life. Myriads of
insects swarm in the air, bore into
the bark of our trees, or burrow in
the earth, all dependent for their
existence on some form of vegetable
life. About a dozen different species
of beetles, all of them very tiny, cause
an annual loss of from $15,OOO,0OO to
$20,O00,0OO by the damage they do
in the forests of the country east
of the Rocky Mountains. The beetles
burrow in the bark of the trees for
the purpose of excavating galleries
in which to deposit their eggs. When
the grubs are Matched, the latter bore
numerous tunnels on their own ac-
count, injurying the wood and kill
ing the trees.
The new Year Book of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has an extensive
article on the protection of our for
ests from the destructive ravages of
these insects. This problem will be-
come simpler when we have solved
the problem of taking care of our
birds. One-tenth of our entire agri-
cultural product is each year a total
loss through the ravages of insects.
This percentage is constantly on the
increase, mainly because of the loss
of our birds.
In America there are about nine
hundred different species Of birds,
three hundred and fifteen of these
being found in North Carolina.
Three-fourths of all these birds feed
almost entirely upon insects. A
birds heart beats more than twice

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

feel as II i must comply this week..
How many of you canned cherries
for pies next winter and made straw
berry preserves? Have you put up
any huckleberries or b~lackberries?
They are so nice and convenient for
winter use, besides being ready for
pies in the early spring before other
fruits ripen. Be sure to make black
berry jelly and don't forget to put up
a lot of jam, for it is so good for the
little people and is much relished by
the grown-ups. Invalids enjoy the
jelly and it is never harmful. By
the way, have you tried to make any
"old-feld" plum jelly? Try it and
see how pretty it is and what a deli
cate flavor it has.
l think that we appreciate the
blackberry less than we should. 1t
may be, and is, | expect, because it
grows wild in such profusion, and
some people say, you know, that the
things you must pay for + those
you always like. 1t may be so, but
those of us who have picked them
from the bushes know that they cost
time and scratches, if not money.
If you will kindly look in your file
of Progressive Farmers for 1908, the
issue of July 21, you will find "Hints
on Canning" which article describes
infinitely the old and much-used
method of canning, viz, boiling the
fruit In the cans after having strewn
the bottom of the larger vessel con-
tanning water with small nails to
prevent the neat from cracking the
jars. Well, they say that every
body's way does" but if l had to do
my canning in that way, we would
not have many canned things at our
house, as it is entirely too much trou-
BILE, besides being too risky to fruit
and jars.
The chief points in canning is to
have perfect fruit, a good fire, and
clean jars with new rubber for each
jar. | find that it pays to purchase
new rubbers every season; they cost
so little and are really essential, as
they exclude the air when properly
adjusted, and we know that unless
that is done, our trouble is for moth
ing and time and money both wasted.
If l had the lady members of the
Circle here [ could demonstrate to
them in a short while my method of
canning, and they would see for
themselves how easily it is done; but
/ find it rather difficult to explain on
paper. / lose no fruit and have
broken no jars in several years, SO l
will try to tell you how to save yours.
I use a porcelain kettle and some
times cook half bushel of fruit at one
time. Have all your jars thoroughly
cleansed, fit the rubbers and tops,
test them by filling with water and
turning them upside down to see if
II leak. If they do, try another
rubber, and if it persists in leaking

keep up such an enormous activity, a
bird must have a great deal of the
most nourishing kinds of food. The
average insect-eating bird eats. more
than it's own weight every day. Rob
ms have been known to eat as much
as forty-six per cent over their own
weight.
The downy wood-pecker Gotten
wrongly called a sap-sucker) is one of
our great insect ~destroyers. He is
not sucking the sap from the trees
when he drills holes in the outer bark;
he is hunting for and eating number
less beetles, grubs and larvae. By
eating these he saves many trees that
would otherwise be destroyed. Of
the four species of wood-peckers that
are common in North Carolina, there
is in reality only one that is a sap
sucker. He is a Northern bird and
spends his winters only in the South.
He is readily distinguished by his red
head and red throat.
The old barred owl, thought much
abused and accused, does the farm
er a very real service in destroying
field mice, rabbits, grasshoppers, etc.
He is really a harmless enough old
fellow, and only carries off an oc-
casional fat fowl for a midnight
feast or for his Sunday dinner. The
mocking-bird, that nightingale of the
South, is another Of our insect de-
stroyers, but with his marvellous gift
of song he is aI9ly able to protect
himself, almost eve1 from beam
shooters and air rifles II. the hands
of the blood-thirsty small BY.
It is a sad but a well-kno n fact
that the women in our State, al. sHe4
as elsewhere, play no small part in
the wholesale destruction of our
birds. Of the many species of birds
that are rapidly becoming extinct be-
cause they are sacrificed to woman's
vanity may be mentioned the Ameri-
can egret. This is a beautiful snow
white bird that nests in marshes
along the coast. During the nesting
easo it has about fifty straight
plumes growing between the scapu-
lars. These plumes are very beauti-
full and are much sought to make the
~aigrettes that armament many hats.
Hunters visit the marshes, where
colonies of these birds are rearing
their young. The old birds are kill
ed for the plumes, and hundreds of
the young birds are left to starve and
rot in the nests.
So long as women demand the
plumage of birds for personal adorn-
ment, so long will an attempt be
made to meet that demand, so long
will Gods law continue to be brok-
until our meadows and wood
lands may become silent and our hills
no longer echo the notes of the feath-
cred songsters.
