To make n German sweet pickle
from green tomatoes cut the vegetables
into slices and sprinkle with salt. Let
the slices stand i'm this way over night.
For every ten pounds of tomatoes have
ready five pounds of sugar, the rihd
of two lemons cut into small pieces,
a tablespoonful of whole cloves and
an ounce of stick cinnamon. Boil the
sugar with strong vinegar, to which
the lemond rind has been added. until
a thin syrup is formed. Add the cloves

matoes in this as the syrup will cover.
When these are cooked add more until
all are cooked. Put the tomatoes into
a stone jar. Boil the syrup down till
rather thick and pour over the toma-
toes Put a tight cover over the toma-
toes and let them stand in this way

1t is a splendid plan to keep a meas

ters, and also i'm soda and baking pow
der cans. This will be found a great
saving in time in the kitchen work
for when one has only a single meas

placed, and it has an annoying habit
OF getting misplaced just when it is
badly needed.
A well decorated room makes its

Mr.. Thornton A. Green,

Dear Sir:-During the summer Wis.,
tied the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
for the purpose of investigating its
present agricultural achievements and
it's future possibilities, Contrary to ex-
pectation IL was found to be n region
that ] feel sure is destined to become
one of the leading agricultural Sec
tions of the United States. Now that
the lumbermen have largely removed
the mixed timber that once overspread
this section IL is now ripe for an invi-
tation of farmers.
All the indications are that the
farmer. be his means limited or other
wise, who wishes to establish a good
home for himself and family will not
be disappointed in casting his lot
here.
The soil. rainfall, climate, good wa
ter and numerous other essentials are
all here to minister bountifully to the
wants of man. A careful investiga-
ton of the present agricultural
achievements will convince the most
skeptical that the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan has a fine future before 1t.
Very truly yours,
