Combining Fruits.
(COntri buted)

Many fruits can be bettered by
judicious use of other fruits. Black
berries and blueberries make a better
pie than single, using blueberries in
large quantity.
Combine ounces with apples.
Tomato preserves are improved with
sliced orange
Jelly of apples and pears have pear
flavor and apple tirmness. Straw
berries and gooseberries make better
jam. To five quarts strawberries add
two of 9ooseberries, either green or
turning red.
Gooseberries, currants and rasp-
berries in equal parts make good jam.
Elderberries, with green grapes,
gooseberries or crabapples for jelly,
sauce or pie.
For roly poly or jam, black currants
and red currants.
Ripe red currants and ripe goose
berries make good preserves or pies.
Black raspberries stewed with red,
juicy cherries.
Peach jam and grated pineapple is
pleasant.
Blackberries are improved with a
cupful of currant juice to each jar of
fruit.
Evaporated peaches and apricots
are better than alone.

The Motorcycle on the Farm,

If one is to believe the statements
of the leading motorcycle maufac-
turers of the day and their statements
seem logical, it is cheaper to make a
trip to town on a motorcycle than to
drive or walk. A manufacture Of one
of these motorcycles This particular
make holds the worlds record for
economy states that while the ma
chine that made the worlds record
travelling fifty miles at cost of less
than one tenth cent per mile over
country roads was operated by an ex-
pert, it is nothing unusual for this
particular make of motorcycle in the
hands of an amateur to travel from
six to eight miles on one cents worth
of gasoline.
In comparison with the private rid
ing horse the expense per mile is
naturally much less and if one figures
that while the driving horse must be
fed daily, the motorcycle only con-
sumes while in use, the difference is
still greater. The limit of a horse for
continuous daily driving is probably
thirty miles, while that of a motor
cycle is over two hundred. Good
travelling for a road horse means ten
miles an hour; good travelling for
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-09-01

a motorcycle from thirty to fifty
miles per hour.
In this age of scarce hired help,
time, at some season is extremely
valuable to the farmer. His ability
to cover the distance to town and
back with a motorcycle in one fifth of
the road driving horse time and with
no time wasted Harvesting and un-
Harvesting, is factor to be consider
ed.
Most all the good motorcycles are
now equipped with tandem attach
ments and luggage carriers, il desired.
By means of this tandem attachment
two can ride as we'll as one. The
luggage carrier permits the carrying
of small freight, not exceeding 200
pounds.
Many farmer, as we'll as his child
rem, have rebelled at their inability
to go to town, to the swimming hole
or the fishing grounds in the late
summer evening, for horse cannot
be worked all day and be driven on
the road at night. To these the
motorcycle fills long felt want. 1t
is ever ready, costs nothing when idle
and will last for years.
1t is really more expensive to be
without motorcycle than to own
one, just as it is more expensive to
pillow with hand pillow, cradle the
grain and use the fail instead of the
modern appliances. The best makes
of motorcycle today can be had for
from 1926 up. A motorcycle like
many other pieces of machinery, can
be built too cheaply to be good.
There are, however, several we'll
established makes, which have years
of successful manufacture behind
them and one will not go amiss in
choosing any of these.
The motorcycle of today has come
to stay. Already in the cities it is
being adopted extensively by bust
ness firms because of the great time
saving it's use assures.
Repair men, inspection men, etc.,
can accomplish triple the work pos
sible with their former horse and
carriage. The saving of time as we'll
as the great pleasure to be derived
from its use has given the motorcycle
lasting place in the home Ct the
American farmer.
