FARMERS DAUGHTERS
 MAY EARN PIN MONEY

y modest way, but now her products are so popular that they can be found
 nearly everywhere in the United
 States. Another woman, in Washing ton, D. C., has built up a business making chowchow, for which she gets s a gallon.
 These are only samples of what
 hundreds of young women have done to earn pin-money by putting up can ned goods at home. People are con-
 tinually demanding a better quality of
 canned goods and are willing to pay a
 better price for them. The farmers daughter who desires to earn pin
 money may avail herself of this de- mand and with care and perseverance learn to put up canned goods that she may sell at a profit. Those who are
 interested in such a project may ob- tain detailed instructions on canning in Farmers Bulletin 521 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which will be sent free of charge to 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. It advises that the beginner experiment with few cans before going too heavily into the pro ject. If the first cans keep well, she may be encouraged to proceed. If she meets with few failures, perhaps she has overlooked some important detail outlined in the departments bulletin It is only through failures that one gets good experience, and with little practice and care in following the di- rections any farmers daughter should be able to put up a satisfactory can of fruit or vegetables.
 When young woman has succeed ed in putting up a product satisfactory home use, she may we'll look arocnd for a market outside of the home. The girl who starts out with confidence in herself will be more likely to find a good market than one who is diff dent.
 Specialize in What You Do Best
 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 excells. It is always best to spe- cialize and work up a reputation for some particular kind of goods, as did the women already mentioned. One girl may make a feature of catchup another may find her best product is pickles, while another may put up a specially attractive can of peppers caulifDower, peaches, apples, or to matoes.
 People of means are most likely | to want "homecanned' products, anG | these are the ones to see. Many | housewives living in the cities who | leave home for the country during tho | summer months will gladly give the | farmers daughter an order to can | enough tomatoes to last them all win | ter. It is best to take orders ahead | as far as possible.
 The young woman who starts out | to sell her products will, of course dress neatly and take samples of heI products put up in an attractive form Glass jars are found to be less ex- pensive, they may be used for all ex- cept the show products.
 The managers of the best hotels and | restaurants in the neighborhood, the | stewards of social clubs in the cities | the managers of railroad dining cars and many retail grocers will be glad | to use the products of the girl who | does her canning at home. These | products are likely to show individual | care and to be prepared neatly of | good materials, and on the shelves of a retail store are likely to attract attention from the best customers.
 If a young woman knows by ex- perience that her products are first class, she need not hesitate to put good price on them. Home canned | goods, canned by experienced people, are worth more than ordinary goods. and one need not compete with the other.
 Fancy goods are rarely found up- on bargain counters. Even if the first samples of home canning are not such as may be readily sold. they may be used at home and from her experience the farmers daughter may do better the following season. When she actu- ally succeeds in getting something better than the ordinary she should be able to sell it. She may we'll ask her friends to recommend her to good
