MA is TRYING LEGHoRNs.

Crimson Rambler have heard and
read of many novel ways to break
up a sitting hen; but l have more
humane way than most of them al
though it may not break them up so
soon. l have a little coop with a roost
and no nests, and a yard so they can
dust. The main thing is to change
her Immediately for if she broods one
night in her accustomed place it will
be difficult to break her up I keep
them shut up three, or four days, let
ing them out near roosting time so
they can go home, and, if they go on
the nest shut them up again. Most
of them break up in that time
feed no corn. OF course the sitting
breeds will sit as it is natural and
need the little rest after laying a long
time. Still, if they were encouraged
they would be on the nest all summer
This year am trying white leghorns
which are now sitters as they lay
when the reds don't. All breeds have
their faults as well as good qualities.

CRIMSON RAMBLER's HOBBIES.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social
Corner: Here L am again! Good
morning to all! As it has been very
warm up here recently, we are more
than pleased to have the weather be-
come cooler.
[ missed a great many of the sisters
this past week, but will be glad to
welcome them back when they return
from their vacations. / expect to start
on mine shortly. L do SO love the sea-
shore.
1 must tell you of little incident
that took place last Wednesday. / was
one of party of huckleberry pickers.
We drove a long way and we all en-
joyed our party very much; and on our
return trip We met lady out riding
for her health. Well we had a good
laugh, for she did not sit in an auto,
no indeed, but in an OK cart with her
young daughter and son. l said: "Oht
my, how | wish Faye Verna could only
be here!" Wonder if she would laugh
any more than we all did. She (the
LADY, said she was going to town with
her berries and other small produce,
eggs included; and you can just
imagine what they must have been
after long tedious drive of nine miles
rough country roads familiarly known
Is the Rocky Road to Dublin.
I rather think they must buy eggs at
that store all ready scrambled
we nave lOddS OF 1un out our way.
Only. with some of the sisters could
come out some time and spend a day
with us all.
Ma: Many thanks for your informa-
ton on poultry which l shall try as
chickens are also one of my hobbies.
l have for another hobby the raising
of young calves of which I am very
fond I am only raising six this sea
son on account of shortage of the feed
/ generally let the men folks wean the
little dears from their mothers and get
them used to drinking from pail; and
l do the rest. L am particularly fond
of the Holstein breed-more so the

fancy the white variety for they don't
look nice when they are soiled.

Christian spirit that is shown in the

Will agree with me that it will be bet

Sweet Lavender l was glad to see
you in the Corner once more and would
love to see your pansies. The hot dry
weather, also scarcity of water, have
ruined most of my flowers.

not pass by, and when Augustine said :

us, up hill and down hill, for several
miles. then l really found that clump
of big berries we ate, and picked,

and started for home. Next day

gingerbread, jelly, etc; but L. H. K.

My dear Roena, thank you for the

done, SO made one for Sunday lunch

GOOD GRAPE RECIPES.

Editor of the Social Corner:-I send
you some grape recipes that are good.
Grape MarmaIade-Use ripe grapes
Of any kind and place them in a pre-
serving kettle with just enough water
to prevent burning. Cook slowly I'M
til they are well broken and mashed.
Then press through a sieve and meas
ure the pulp. For each pint of pulp
allow one-half pound of sugar. Place
the grape pulp over the fire and cook
for 20 minutes, add sugar and boil
from 10 to 20 minutes longer. Stir
constantly while cooking. Skim care
fully from time to time and when
done pack in small jars.
Grape and Apple MarmaIade-Heat
four pounds of stemmed grapes until
free from seeds. Have four pounds of
sweet apples pared, cored, sliced and
steamed until tender Sift the grape
pulp add the apples. turn into a ket-
tie and simmer slowly on the back OF
the range. for two hours. Measure and
add sugar in the proportion of three
quarters of a pound to pint of pulp
and cook until little chilled on ice.
will retain its shape. Turn in glasses
and seal
Grape Preserves-Press the pulp out
of each grape. Boil the pulp until
tender then press through a sieve to
remove the seeds. Mix the skins with
pulp and juice, Add as many cups
of sugar as there are grapes, and boil
together until thickened.
Green Grape are preserved by cut
ing each grape in half, removing the
seeds, and adding on equal quantity of
sugar and boiling all together until of
the right consistency. Seal while hot.
Spiced Grapes-Press the skins from
the grapes and put the pulp through
a sieve, add the skins, and weigh.
To every pound of grapes, add one cup
of vinegar, two ounces of powdered
cinnamon, one ounce of powdered
cloves and 1-2 pounds of sugar. Boil
one and one half hours until thick.
Plums are very nice prepared the
same way.
Thanks Roena for mentioning your
success with my recipes. I hope you
will have as good success with all you
try.

tention, of each little ones mind long
enough to impress them with the

When Canning get a piece of wood
sawed out shape of your wash boiler
about / inch thick, put 2 small cleats
in the bottom bore a dozen or more
holes in it, put in bottom of boiler, fill
your cans full of fruit and put in only
small quantity of water until your
boiler is full of jars, then fill until it
comes to the top of them. Put empty
jars full of water if you have not
enough to fill (my boilar holds IA :
keep it on purpose for canning)
Cherries and berries are better without
sweetening them, add sugar about one
hour before using.
Ounces. grapes, peaches, pears, put
sugar on them, fill jars full of matter,
Lay tops loosely on top; when done
lift each one out as needed, fill with
hot matter, put on rubbers and seal.
Never turn jars after they are sealed
upside down, as it loosens the porce-
lain in the tops. When each is sealed
turn it round tipped sideways slowly
and if a drop of matter leaks out, I'M
screw top and put on another until
none does leak out. OF course one
must wipe jar perfectly dry each time

AN INQUIRY.

Dear Social Corner =, Sisters: Can
anv one give me a tested, sure recipe
for canning string beans without boil
ing for three or four hours.
/ agree With NJ. Roena that if all
girls would resolve to not marry a
man who has bad habits or uses bad
language it would be far better and
would save much sorrow and suffering.
for if a man has had habits before
marriage he is not apt to leave them
off afterwards.
