Two quarts rhubsrb, two p,nts sugar

A long time ago there was a que stion
about burning garbage in q cook stove.
l have stove that has been in use every
day for thirty-two years and there have
never been less than four to cook for Isone
years there were twelve On holidays I
have had twenty or more. I am cooking
for six now on the same old stove. We
burned every bit OF garbage until three

full not TO put the garbage against the
lining. A. o. S.
Although have printed a number Of
recipes for rhubarb marmalade I am sure
there 10 someone who has either missed
the earlier recipes or who will like to vary
that which she has with this method.
am interested IN your remarks about burn
ing garbage in sove. l confess that
my own objection to the process Is based
as much upon the odor which sometimes
proceeds from consuming refuse OF this
kind a. from the harm It may DO the stove.
You certainly have a strong argument
against the range suffering damage by the
burning and II every housekeeper would
see for herself that the work IL properly
done the injury might be reduced to min
imum.
wish II were possible for each home to
be supplied with one Of the garbage incin-
orators with which large Establishments
are now provided. which convert scraps
and rubbish into inofensivs ashes and do
away entirely with the garbage pail with
it's accompanying unpleasant smells and
its attractions to croton bugs and cock
reaches! One of these days 1t may be that
someone will devise an incinerator which
will serve for q family Of ordinary size but
don't think this has been achieved as
yet.

Truth to tell, pa isn't pious fellow. Many's the

make the recording angel weep. But because pa is

stirring of the souls currents Of emotion as it. in

to tell him that the times arrives
for watering the flock.
