tiles recognized and appreciated by
ancients and moderns. While most
fruits are laxatives, the blackberry,
fruit, leaves and roots alike, is among
the nose valued astringents. Black.
berry wine ranks high as tonic, con-
tanning as 1t does a large amount Of
iron. Blackberry cordial is one Of the
most approved remedies in case Of
dysentery; while Jams and preserves
furnish throat remedy that requires
no urging upon the patient. From the
fresh young blackberry canes a thick
syrup is expressed, valuable for
throat. mouth and eye troubles. Made
into a vinegar, the blackberry fur
nishes one of the most refreshing and
cooling of summer drinks.
Blackberry Vinegar.-To make the
vinegar, mash the berries to a pulp
in an earthen or stoneware vessel.
Add good cider vinegar to cover well,
and stand in the sun during the day
and in the cellar over night, stirring
occasionally. The next morning strain
and add the same amount fresh ber-
ries. Crush and over the whole pour
the strained juice, and set in the sun
again through the day and the cellar
at night. The third day strain and to
each quart of the Juice allow one pint
of water and five pounds sugar. Heat
slowly to the boiling point, skim, and
when It boils strain and bottle, seal
ing alright.
Blackberry catsup.-Cover mashed
berries with boiling water, simmer
Is minutes, press again and strain.
Allow for each quart juice a half tea
spoonful each mace, cinnamon, pepper
and white mustard. Cook down to
about quarter of the original quan-
tity, add vinegar (pure) TO make
strength and consistency required.
then bottle and seal while hot
Blackberry Jam.-Look over gal
Ion of biackberries, wash and drain.
Put in a preserving kettle, pour in q
pint of water and cook until soft, stir
ring and MASKING with wooden
spoon to break up the fruit. Take
care that it does not scorch. Take
from the fire and press through wire
sieve into a stone jar. Do not use
tin. Stir this pulp thoroughly. Take
a quart of the pulp and put in ket-
tie with quart Of sugar measured
light and previously heated in the
oven. Bring to a boil, cook rapidly
for Is or 20 minutes. until it jellies
when dropped in a cold saucer. Pour
into small jars and when cold seal.
Repeat the cooking. with another
quart of the pulp until all has been
used. The jam is easier and better
prepared a quart at a time. 1t is a
good plan in hot weather to prepare
the berries one day, set away in the
cellar and make the jam in the cool
of the next morning.

change In the west, both in its effect
upon the soil and as forage crop. Ro-
tations often give as great increase In
yield as tiliage or varieties. All these
factors should be given equal atten-
ton in n comprehensive system Of
crop production for western Nebraska.
There are several ways in which
plants may resist drought" Some
plants, such as durum wheat, seem to
have the faculty of maturing grain
with the use of less water than the
common varieties. Other grains, as
Kherson oats, evade in part rather
than resist drought by maturing be-
fore the drought comes. Some crops
withstand drought because of an ex-
tensive root system that collects mois-
ture from a large area of soil, and
still others, as the Kafir corn, have the
power of retarding their growth and
waiting over until moisture comes.
Plants having such characteristics
will prove valuable where the supply
of moisture is uncertain.
