TN PUTTING up currants, the large cherry
variety" is much to be preferred to the
l. more common and smaller garden variety.
Even if they do cost more to purchase, they
are worth the difference in the price. -.
Currant jelly is one of the most popular OF
it's tribe As it is also one of the easiest fruits
to convert into jelly, it should be one of the
must HAYES" upon the storeroom shelf.
Either white, red or black currants may be
used in the making of jelly, as well as in the
other delicious currant conserves; the variety
chosen is a matter Of individual taste with the
housewife. For jelly making currants should
be full, but not over-ripe.
CURRANT JELLY
Remove the leaves but not the stems from
the fruit and heat in the upper part of large
double boiler. Crush as the currants cook so
that the Juice vii flow freely, and cook about
twenty minutes. Then drain through jelly
bag into large earthenware vessel. Measure
the fruit juice and allow an equal amount of
granulated sugar Reheat the juice in a clean
kettle and boil slowly for fifteen minutes; then
add the sugar that has been heated in the oven

CURRANT AND RASPBERRY JELLY
A very dainty jelly is made from equal parts
Of red raspberries and currant juice. Allow
the same quantity of sugar as for currant jelly
and prepare in exactly the same way.
SPICED CURRANTS
For each pound of currants allow pound OF
sugar. Make syrup, using for each four
pounds Of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two tea
spoons Of cinnamon, one scant teaspoon
of cloves. one-half teaspoon of nutmeg and
one-ouarter of a teaspoon of salt. When the
syrup boils add the currants and let cook about
ten minutes. Then skim out the currants and
let the syrup boil down until thick. Add the
currants, bring to the boil again and store as
for jelly This is delicious with cold meat,
especially game or turkey.
CURRANT AND RAISIN JAM
Seed two pounds Of raisins and cut each in
half Cook for half an hour, in water to cover,
the Clipped yellow peel Of two oranges. Place
In a large preserving kettle seven pounds Of
steunned currants; squeeze the Juice from the

What Your Garden Needs This Week

on the undersde Of the leaves of the potato vines
for the tiny orange spots which show that the
potato beetle is coming; watch your tomato plants
for the green worm. your cucumbers and young
melons and squash for the little flea beetle. and
meet the enemy before Il has chance to estab-
lish itself.
Cut worms may be poisoned by prepared bait
spread near the plants at night. When wedding
or transplanting always keep on the lookout for
these sinners, they will be found about half
inch below the surface. II Is cheering to the gar
dened to remember that cutworms very local;
they may completely destroy plants on one side
Of path, while on the other the bed Is clear.
Just here the practice Of planting by small sue
cessive sowings is Of peculiar value to the first
year gardener, for IL one sowing is taken by the
enemy, all IS not lost in two weeks another crop
will be along, and by that time he will have his
defence ready, or the enemy itself may have gone
Of TO worry another garden.
Plants that thrifty, well cultivated free
from weeds, are far less likely to be troubled by
q plant diseases and Affections seem portentous
are less well cared for. And although the lists
of plant diseases and Affections seems portentous;
the average gardener need expect but slight diff
fculty; the list Of chdren's diseases is terrfy-
ing, but the average youngster is a healthy spec
men. and, given ordinarily good care, remains so.
PAINTINGS FOR LATE JUNE
Make sowings Of beans-the dwarf green-podded
beans crows two feet apart drills two inches deep
LIMA BEANS or POLE BEANS may still be
sown; poles should be three feet apart each way.
BEETS-For succession, sow in rows one foot
apart. Young beet tops may be used for spinach
Thin the beets already up to stand five inches
apart in the row.
CABBAGE PLANTS may be set out-bave them
stand two feet apart each way.
CARROTS-Sow for a succession Danvers Half
Long Partisan Forcing.
CORN may still be planted Make the hills
three feet apart each way, and SOW Ave kernels
to hill. In a small garden sow in drills the rows
two feet apart. Golden Bantam is a good sort.
Cultivate the corn already up, drawing the soil
up about the stems
CUCUMBERS for pickles may be sown now
Cool and Crisp Is good variety.
LETTUCE-Sow Cos varieties.
PEAS-Sow for a succession such varieties as
Little Marvel or American Wonder.
RADISH-Sow In partial shade.
SQUASH may still be sown; make the hills three
TO four feet apart.
TOMATO plants may DO set out three feet apart
each way Plants already set should have sup
ports placed the branches brittle, and support
must be given early.
As fast as the crops mature Of early radsh and
lettuce and peas the garden beds should be again
dug and other sowings take their place. Cultivate
a little at time, but the whole garden should
be como n week
Do not let the young plants crowd. Pull up the
seedlings until those left have plenty Of room;
transplant the Trimmings use in the kitchen
Young carrots and bects and baby lettuce and
onions are excellent for the table.

IND DEALING with insects and other garden enc
miles preparedness is the keynote Of success.
II one can be just a little before these work
ers Of iniquty, II is worth any amount Of effort
afterward; the situation is saved, the citadel
taken; while afterward, although one may drive
out the enemy, be may have left the territory
ruined
Forehsnded gardeners have their arsenal stocked
and do not have TO let the intruders eat up their
plants while they are searching for the proper
remedy in garden books, or, having found It, are
waiting for the stuff to arrive. There are stand
ard remedies which thrifty gardeners have ready
at hand
First Of these is bordeaux mixture, which in
the garden is as castor oil in the nursery In
"muggy" weather spraying with bordeaux will
prevent blight and mildew. Spray the potato
plants before the vines are one-thrd grown; in
two weeks repeat the dose, and the tubers below
the surface will thank you. amateur gardeners
sometimes forget how close and intimate is the
relation between the foliage Of a root crop and
the vegetable itself. Healthy foliage mean,
we'll developed root and diseased insect-worried
foliage q crop Of little value) Get the bordeaux
In pulp form and dilute one part TO twenty-five or
fifty parts Of water.
Paris green should be ready for the potato bugs
before these gentlemen make their appearance.
There are two ways of applying this: as pow
der, mixed with about 80 to 100 parts Of plaster,
and the vines busted with this when moist from
the dew. or else mix the paris green with water
Zone tablespoonful TO paiD and apply with
small brush; stir well the paris green will set
tie. At the first sign of striped coat Of the po-
.ato beetle apply the poison. Paris green is an ef-
feetivs weapon against all chewing insects.
Tobacco dust is another handy remedy. II
should be busted the young cabbage
plants to keep of the turnp flea.
For the cabbage work use saltpetre, one ounce
dissolved in twelve quarts Of water, and sprinkle
the plants thoroughly.
Most seed houses, for tho convenience Of tho
amateur gardener, have Teady-to-put-on insecti-
eides and fungcides which can be bought In small
quantities and are very convenient to apply. Slug
shot Is IN exceedingly good all-round remedy. II
can be spilled either by busting on the leaves as
powder or by spraying. but do not. in an excess
Of enthusiasm, use too much Of any Of these in
sect remedies. A proper dlution thoroughly ap-
piled IL far better than an over-strong solution.

care as a mother does her babies, and she has
fought their diseases as valiantly as a physi-
clan fights for the life of patient"
SECOND SIGHT ON WALNUTS
Doleful wiseacres wagged their heads when
Mrs. Harriet w. r. Strong set out walnut
orchard on her California ranch. She planted
enough young trees to form, when full grown,
a straight line twenty-five miles long. There
were more than $50 acres of them. To-day wal
nuts net 500 an acre and upward.
And when Mrs. Strong was asked about
horticulture as an occupation for women she
said: horticulture for women anywhere is
the same as horticulture for men; the qualities
needfu for the success Of horticultural vent
ure are identical, regardless of SEX"
1t was not very long ago that most of
the flowers in the United States were raised
from seeds grown in Germany, France, Bel
GUM and other foreign countries, but the

It does everything except help the birds out OF
the shells. So efficient is it that no Wander
ing Willie need try to get good, fat duck for
his dinner, for the smallest attempt to inter-
fere with houses or runs will light up the whole
farm and start all sorts of bells a-ringing.
SHE CAN MAKE A CHERRY PIE"
If you have recently been near Manzanola,
COL you have heard about CHERRY Pie Day
a day on which 5000 cherry pies were made
and given free to those who came to the town.
1t was Mrs. Belle Van Dorm Harbert who
suggested this way Of putting the town on the
map. Mrs Harbert knows several things
about cherries, for she has an orchard contain
ing more than thousand trees.
Since as far back as the st. Louis Exposition
her cherries have been getting first prizes. The
average gross return is between S25 and $50
tree when il comes into full bearing.
But it was not cherries alone that brought
Mrs. Harbert into the class Of first ladies Of
the land -Four years ago she was elected
first president of the International Congress of
Farm Women. when it met in Belgium. Among
delegates from every nation on the globe she
was decreed worthy of this honor, because she
was truly and typically farm woman herseI.
Mrs Harbert says THE increasing demand
for all kinds of fruits and the steady soaring
upward of prices make fruit raising paying
proposition for the woman who can SIT tight
and is not afraid of work.
SITS UP WITH HER APPLE TREES
Then there Is Mrs. P. G. McEvoy, the Apple
Queen" who has a 120-acre apple orchard out
in Illinois, Last year she shipped fifteen car
loads Of apples from the trees. The railroads
call 100 barrels a carload. With apples netting
SO, SO and 81 barrel, you can figure out that
Mrs. McEvoy is not much afraid Of the wolf at
her door.
But she was when she started, for her Or
chard was mortgaged. An official of her state
agricultural college said to me-
"She is one Of the smartest women in Illinois
and one OF the hardest working. She has sat

FORTUNE FROM ONIONS
You have no doubt been noticing the steady
rise in the price Of onions.
Mrs. E. C. Dodd, Of Texas, knew years ago
that onions were a money making crop, and
she was steadily clearing $4,000 year from
them long before any one thought Of cornering
the onion market.
She Is called "the Onion Queen" and she
started with no more knowledge of onion grow
ing than you or l have. She had been
school teacher before her marriage, and when
widowhood came to her she found herself with
six hundred acres of dry land near the Rio
Grande.
Then came the problem of what to plant
on it.
you only had some water"
There was the river; here her thirsty SOIL
why not an irrigation ditch as go-betwecn?
Though she felt the inner shrinking Of one
who ventures into deep water without being
sure of his ability to swim, she staked what
money she had on these aids to Nature, forced
water to seventy acres of her land, and the
next year planted Bermudas.
Did she lose? Not much! After checking
up expenses she found they had Melted her $4OO
an acre. Not bad for beginner!
She has gradually increased her acreage, un-
til now she grows more Bermudas than they do
in the island where these onions originally
came from. She says the entire cost of grow
ing onions on her farm is 1925 an acre.
Mrs. Dodd directs her farm with the ease
that knowledge brings, and her only teaching
has been in the great school of experience. But
she says there is lot more in this onion bust
ness than just the growing of the onions
there is the selling end Of it.
Here she has shown great shrewdness. She
precedes her crop to market. After the har-
vesting, in March or early April she goes to
the great cities Of the country, studies condi-
tons, watches the market, and when her judg-
ment tells her it is strong and high her crop is
shipped to her. Nobody but herself gets the
full benefit of her enterprise; She is right on
the whole job, and no mddleman gets any of
the dollars her onions bring.
Mrs Dodd said to me: "There is nothing
more fascinating than the growing of onions,
and there can be no better occupation for wom-
en- who love the open. If carefully managed,
intelligently cultivated and marketed know
of no more remunerative crop to grow"
The richest farmer in Wyoming is woman,
