HOW FARM GIRLS CAN
MAKE THEIR PIN MONEY,

A lady in Richmond, Va, has made n
reputation putting up and
selling pin money pickles" She began
a few years ago in a very modest way,
but now her products are so popular
that they can lie found nearly every
where in the United States. Another
woman, in Washington, d. c.. has built
up business making chowehow, for
which she gets SO a gallon,
These are only samples of what hun
dreds OF young women have done to
earn pin money by putting up canned
goods at home. People are continually
a better quality of canned
goods and are willing to pay a better
price for them. The farmers dauSh-
ter who desires to earn pin money may
avail herself of this demand and with
care and perseverance learn to put up
canned goods that she may sell at Il
profit, Those who are interested IN
such project may obtain detailed IN
structions on canning in Farmers Bul-
letin sci of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, which Will be sent
free of charge 10 the applicant.
The bulletin, while encouraging the
young woman in her efforts to make a
business proposition of putting up
fruits and vegetables, cautions against
over enthusiasm Ii advises that the
beginner experiment with a few cans
before going too heavily into the pro-
iect If the first cans keep well, she

tice and care In following the direc-
tions any farmers daughter should be
able to put up satisfactory can OF
fruit or vegetables

The girl with experience in canning
knows the products with which she
has the most success, and should en-
deavor to sell only those in which she
eNcels. 1t is always best to speclallze
and work up a reputation for some
