Sweet Tomato Pickie-These. if

add to a pickle made of two pounds of
brown sugar, pint of vinegar, a hand
ful each of cloves, cinnamon and all
spice tied in bags; cook until tender,
grated horseradish. Cover with a
plate and keep in cool, dark place.
Picked Nasturtiums.-The pun
geant flavor of the nasturtium seed is
liked by many. To prepare them,
soak in weak vinegar twenty four
hours, then drain. Heat the vinegar
with mixed spices, tablespoonful OF
sugar and few pieces of ginger root;
add salt, pack the seeds in jars and
pour over the vinegar, and seal.
Spiced Pears.-Make d strip of a
quart of sugar and cup Of vinegar,
with cloves and cinnamon and few
pieces of ginger. Peel the pears and
cook a few at time, so that they

cover with the strip.
Green Cucumber Pickles.-Fill
quart jars with small green cucum,
bers washed and fresh from the
vines; add a tablespoonful of salt,
teaspoon of sugar and bag of
spices, if liked Fill the jar with cold
vinegar, and seal. Put in cold
place, and they will keep indefinite

Vinegar may be reduced by adding a
small amount Of water to it, and ii
will be just as satisfactory and much
more wholesome for the stomach.

The Trouble With Vermont.
Burlington Free Press

Vermont associations scattered
throughout the United Staes and in
Guiding men and women Distinguished
in various walks OF life, are an elo-
quent testimonial of the fact that the
Green Mountain state still breeds big
men and noble women.
The disclosure Of Vermont money in
every failure of loan and trust com
panies throughout the West and the
South a generation ago and the reports
( that have continued TO come from all
parts OF the country and from our own
financial institutions and from individ-
ual capitalists from that time to the
present, have combined to show that
the people of Vermont have more mon
/ ey than they know what to do with
( themselves.
+ If we breed big men who 10 things
and are so thrifty that we literally
4 have money ITO burn, with which
things can be done here, it is reason
able to ask how 10 YOU explain our
shameful and inexcusable failure to
develop the natural resources of our
own state.
One fundamental difficulty is that
through prolonged force of habit we
have come to think it is impossible
to do things in Vermont. We have
acquired what is Il born-in-the bone
and-hlood feeling Of impotence when
ever we begin to think of undertaking
any project for our own development
Now let Us analyze this feeling and
diagnose the situation. Perchance we
may discover n remedy for the = Yer
mont complaint Let us try to dis
cover what are the prevailing and
distinguished symptoms.
One bad feeling is that Vermont i,
so small and our population is so in
significant as compared with that OF
other states, and we are so far to one
side and transportation costs so much
that we must always remain a state
of little things. Some say there are
no opportunities in this region. You
can never do anything here.
Indeed! Open your eyes and lool
up and about you and under your eye
and look up and about you and unde'
your very feet. Stop squirting through
the wrong end Of the telescope at on
green hills and their products and see
ing things far smaller than they reall,
are. You may be astonished to dis
cover in how many ways Vermont i

of small size or location or anythin
except our own faults.
