APPLE JAM.

Pare and core the apples, cut them
in nice pieces, putting them in water
as you do so TO preserve the color
Put the skins, cores and a few stalks
of rhubarb into the preserving pan
cover with water, bring to a boil and
simmer for about an hour or more till
all is quite soft. Of jelly has beer
previously made the pulp may be
boiled with this.) Then strain, and
next day put aside till wanted
Meanwhile the pieces of apples should
be weighed and STEPPED" with equal
quantities of sugar for about 4S hours
As in rhubarb, this renGs to keep the
pieces nice and whole when boiling
Measure the strained juice from skins
ETC., and to each pint of this allow
about one pound o. sugar. Put in q
preserving pan with the melted sugar
from the apples and the grated rind
and juice of two or three lemons, or
If preferred, some ginger for flavor
ing. When it boils put in the apples
stir well, covering the apples with the
liquid, and boil for about half an
hour till the Jumps are clear looking
removing the scum as it rises. Wher
the scum gets yellow and more sticky
like the jam is ready.

Ch,I,an MINERS powerfaI.

Perhaps the greatest weights borne
tor any distance on mems backs are
the loads OF ore brought up from the
mines of the Andes by the miners Of
Chilli. Darwin visited copper mine
In ravine leading from the main
cange Of the Cordilleras, where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that. though the mines had
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries. the water was re.
moved in some by carrying it up shafts
IN leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, YER
teal climb of $50 feet, by the miners.
and that the average weight carried
was $50 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up
Gotched trunks OF trees, set almost up
right. one touching another.
The food of the Gillian miner, ac-
cording to Darwin. consisted of "a
tons of sixteen figs and two small
ioayes of bread for breakfast; for din
ner boiled beans. for supper wheat
crushed and roasted They scarcely
ever tasted meat

APPLE JELLY.

Wash the apples, removing the tails
and black tops, but do not peel them,
simply cut them up roughly into small
pieces. Put these on to bell in nice
jelly pan with few bits Of white
ginger, and, liked, the yellow rind
of two or three lemons, just covering
with water Bring to a boil and SIM
mer till all is well pulped, adding a
little more water if need be to make
it easily stirred. Strain over night,
and to each pint of juice allow one
pound of best sugar, also adding a
little essence of ginger, essence of
lemon or the juice of two fresh lem
ons. Boil for about half an'hour, TAX
ing off all the scum as it rises to keep
the color clear. Pot, and cover when
colo. The pulp in the jelly bag should
then be turned out into the jelly pan
and covered with water to make juice
for the apple jam, boiled and strained.

EXTEND THE CRANBERRY
MARKET.

Publicity and advertising are the
business heralds of today, and unless
those agents are employed contin-
uously one might Just as well quit
business or take a seat away back
where progress is unknown.
Apply publicity and advertising to
our industry by teaching the people
that cranberries make the best sauce
and how it's made. and our business
ceases to be one-sided and the outlet
question is solved.
The late o. M. Holmes told me that
he had increased the consumption
two hundred per cent, with one re-
cipe. Benjamin Cahoon of Marshfield
says he has an order for one barrel
of berries to go to Florida. Mr.. Ca
hoon's customers began a few years
ago with half bushel. Mrs. Cahoon
taught them how to cook good cram
berry sauce-a revelation to them
result, five hundred per cent. increase.
Let that fact play for a moment with
your imagination and imagine what
such an increase, if extended the
country over, would mean.-F. d. I'm
derwood. in the American Cultivator.

EARRING FOR MANURE

The ideal way of caring for manure,
says Rural New Yorker, is to keep it
under covered shed and over a &C.
ment floor, SO tnat no extra water
can leach through it. The loss by
teaching will run all the way from
Is to so per cent. of fertilizing value,
depending upon the ease with which
the water washes through the pile.
There Is more or less drainage
through any soil, though the hard
Gays will hold most Of tie liquid. A
floor of concrete under the manure
will pay for itself. We should put
some roof, over the manure in order 10
regulate the supply Of moisture.
>Where COW and horse manures are
mixed you ar not likely to be trou-
bled with y,zating or firefanging as
you wo6H< be If tie horse manure
were kept alone It Is sometimes nee.

vent this heating. If ibis is done

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Put a pinch of saltpeter in the
vases in which flowers are kept; this
will make them look better and keep
fresh for a much pnger time than
they would otherwise do in plain wa
ter.
Simple Preservation Of Eggs-A
simple plan is to bury the eggs in
salt, standing them upright instead of
laying them on their sides. They
may thus be preserved for whole
year.
To prevent bright pans from being
blackened by smoke, rub with fat be-
fore putting them on the fire. Wash
with hot water and soda after using
them, and they will be quite bright.
A small sponge saturated with oil
of lavender and hung near the bed,
or handkerchief moistened and laid
near the invalids couch, will be found
an efficient aid In driving away intru-
sive flies.
An Easy Way to Peel Beetroot-As
soon as the beets are sufficiently
cooked, place them in a vessel and
pour cold water on them, and by gent
ly pressing them the peel will come
off easily.
A greasy hearth should not be
made wet in order to clean it. Rub
it over with a piece of dry hearth
stone; then brush it off, and you will
find the hearth has become beauti.
fully white and clean, with no signs
of grease.
To Make Flannelette Non-Infiam.
mable-After flannelette articles have
been washed they should be rinsed in
water in which one ounce Of alum or
sal ammonia has been dissolved.
This little precaution may be the
means of saving many little lives.
To Scrub Wooden Articles-Rinse
well, sprinkle with fine sand, soap the
brush and scrub with the grain Of the
