Toward the end of the season when
 the green corn becomes too old to serve
 ou the cob or 10 cut down, 1t may be
 used as fritters or even the more dell
 cate corn pudding. Hero are two e1-
 cellent recipes: To every pint of grated
 corn pulp allow one scant cupful of milk
 two tablespoonfuls of flour. one-half a
 teaspoonful of salt, a dash of red and
 the same of black pepper.
 Another recipe Is to mix a pint of
 green corn with three tablespoonfuls of
 milk, teacup of flour, half a teacupful of drawn butter. a teaspoonful of salt,
 half a teaspoouful of pepper. and one egg. When frltters are to be made, fry the batter in hot butter. If corn pud- ding Is preferred, bake the batter in tin pie plates well buttered in q hot oven.
 In the cool evenings of this last month of summer outing the hearth fire is again welcome, and parties for gathering drift wood are delightful among the fast shortening days along the shore. Many sumner visitors freight home a barrel or two of this precious fuel for the open fires of winter. Pine cones, too. are gathered for this purpose, and a great many may be stored away in the odd hooks and corners of trunks and packing cases. They are so light that a dress suit case, or telescope bag filled with them can easily be carried by hand. A pretty and Inexpensive Christmas gift, and one not lacking ID sentiment, Is large bag made of turkey red. tied with green ribbons and filled with pine cones. An advantage about a gift of this kind is that to the possessor of an open fire place duplicates will be welcome. good Christmas gift is q difficult thing to get. and 1t Is never too early to be- gin thinking about them. c

 l. Is quite important to keep the kitchen boiler and hot water pipes clean. Once a month ct least turn of the water In the special tap in the pipe for thIs pur- pose. then open the faucet and let all possible water run out. When 1t has stopped, set a tub under the boiler and open the tap at the bottom. When all the sediment has run out, turn On the water again. and let the Inside of the boiler have a good rlnsng. All this must be done when the fire Is out and the water cool. Fire without a free cir culation iu the waterback would burst the pipes.
