USEPULP FROM JELLY MAKING

Don't throw away the pulp left in the jelly bags after the clear juice has drained out, says the United States de- pertinent of agriculture. Federal laws prohibit the use of this substance for commercial purposes, because it might masquerade as a. whole-fruit product. It is wholesome, however, and there is no reason why it should not be put to fam fly use. One of the most satisfactory products that can be made from fruit pulp is fruit paste.
 This is type of confection or dessert and may be made from apricot. quince, gooseberry, apple, plum, kumquat guava, and other fruits. For apricots, gooseber- ries and other acid fruits, use pound of powdered sugar to pound of fruit pulp; for quince, use A pound powdered sugar to each pound of pulp; and for apples, F pound powdered sugar for each pound of fruit pulp. If desired, pulp from sev- eral kinds of fruits may be mixed If acid fruits predominate in this mixture, use approximately 1 pound of sugar to i pound of fruit mixture; if sweet fruits predominate, use less sugar
 Rub the fruit pulp through a puree strainer and weigh it. Add the sugar, put the mixture over a slow fire and cook until very thick, so that when spoon has been passed through it the mass does not run together immediately. Pour the paste in half inch layer on flat dishes, marble or glass slabs, which have been rubbed with cloth dipped in good salad oil. Expose the dishes to draft for a couple of days and then

Don't forget what I have said about high-priced eggs this fall and winter. The high price Is now with us but the eggs are not. If you have hens on the farm, by all means keep them, as you will get a big price for your eggs next winter Feed them well, keep the mites out of your henhouse and dip every fowl you have right now to get rid of the body lice.
 When eggs for matching are bought at distance clear eggs, after a week or more of incubation, do not necessarily mean that the eggs were infertile. The fault may have been in the rough hand ling the eggs received during trans- portation. Eggs are sadly abused during transit. Throwing the package, if well packed, may not crack or break the eggs, but it may ruin the chances of a hatch through injury of the egg con tents. I have seen eggs partly cooked through being left close to hot steam pipes. I have examined clear eggs and found evidence of fertility although seven days of incubation under hen would not start them-and the cause was the abuse during transportation.
 Don't breed from immature outlets. As rule, the first two dozen or more eggs 8 bullet produces should not be used for matching purposes, Some breeders will not use a bullets eggs for matching until after she has produced at least three dozen eggs. I believe that it de- bends a good deal upon the development of the bullet and how long it takes her to bring her eggs up to full size and weight. There is a great difference in individuals in this respect. Some pull lets will lay as large eggs as their dams after the first half dozen; others do not get size of egg established until they have produced two or three dozen eggs and sometimes more
 If you get 60 chicks for every 1o0 eggs set during the season you have no reason to complain about poor matches. know

cut the paste into figures If the paste is well boiled down, it is dried more, easily. The paste also can be cut with a common knife or with fluted vege- table knife, or it can be cut in round cakes, the, center of which is again cut with smaller circular cutter; there will thus be both rings and small round cakes.
 Place the cut fruit paste on paper and sprinkle with crystallized sugar or com mon granulated sugar. Allow it to stand again couple of days exposed to draft, dip in crystallzed sugar and pack in tin or wooden box lined with parch- ment paper and with layers of the same paper placed between the layers of paste. The paste can be kept thus and served as dessert or as garnishing on creams and custards. frozen creams, large cakes, etc.

of some expert incubator operators who

CA claim 80 per cent matches of all eggs set during April and May, but they don't make such averages with Febru- ary and March eggs as rule.
 By the time they are a week old, small chicks will greatly relish handful of sprouted oats fed in box where they can scratch them over Be sure that the oats are not moldy. Give fresh lot of oats daily and at night remove all that is left of the lot scratched over during the day.
 Well matured bullets well established in lay, mated to well developed cock erels that are Il months old or older, as rule I believe that older birds yearlings and 2-year- -olds-if in good or der. will give better chicks.
 Test eggs at least twice during the hatch, whether under hens or in an in cubator Those with experience will test on the sixth day; novices will find 1t easier to test on the tenth day of incu- bation. All clear eggs, blood rings, and dead germs should be removed.
 Do not buy chick feed if the granu- lated grain looks bluish or if the food smells musty. Musty or moldly grain will kill chicks. Be sure that good sound old corn is used in the chick food Insist on a guaranty that the food contains only sound, sweet, wholesome grains.
 When chicks are fed freely on milk it is likely to result in watery droppings. If the chicks SCOUT feed less milk. Well-boiled bread flour mixed with scala ed milk to the consistency of heavy cream, is a splendid remedy for loose ness of the bowels in small chicks.
 Baby chicks always void moist, soft droppings at first; it is natures method of clearing out the waste material in the intentines. Don't let it worry you or imagine that the chicks have some fatal diarrhoea.

HOMEMADE FRUIT BUFFERS

molasses is excellent for this purpose A pound per gallon is usually sufficient, but this amount is a matter of taste as is also the amount of cinnamon, allspice and cloves to be added when the cooking is done.
 PEAR BUTTER
 Pear, plum and peach buffers are made without cider. The pears should be ripe enough to cook up well and after being peeled, cored and sliced, are put into a preserving kettle with little water and cooked slowly until soft. The sugar is then added, one cup to one quart of sliced pears, and cooking is continued very slowly, with frequent stirring, for 11s to hours. The butter should then be smooth and as thick as thick apple sauce. little lemon juice and ginger and cinnamon or other spices to taste should be well stirred into the hot but ter. Pack while hot in hot, sterilized containers and steri1ize in steam as men toned for apple butter
 PEACH BUFFER
 Put the peaches in q wire basket and dip in boiling water a few seconds until the skin slips-test by raising peaches out of water and rubbing the skin with fingers-then dip into cold water and peel and pit the fruit. Well-ripened free stone varieties are best Mash the pulp and cook in it's own juice without adding water. If it is rather coarse put it through coiander or coarse wire sieve to make butter of fine texture. To each measure of pulp add one-half measure of sugar and cook slowly and stir ire quently until the product is of the desired thickness The meats of several pits may be cooked either whole or sliced in each gallon of butter. While still hot pack In sterilized jars or glasses with tight fitting tops and sterilize like apple but ter, or cover with hot paraffin
 Apple butter with grape juice: If a grape flavor is desired in apple butter it may be obtained by the use of grape juice. To each gallon of peeled and sliced apples cooked into sauce and strained, there should be added 1 pint of grape juice, 1 cup of brown sugar. and one-quarter teaspoon of salt. These should be cooked slowly and stirred often for two hours or until of the desired thickness, then stir in 1 teaspoon of cin- namon and pack hot into hot containers and sterilze as for other apple butter.
 Apple butter with lemons Slice lem ons, cover with water, ana let stand over night Next morning put them into a preserving kettle and add pounds of apples, pared, cored and sliced Cook for one hour add pounds of sugar, and cook slowly with frequent stirring one and one-half hours longer, or until of proper thickness. Pack hot in ster- llized containers and sterilize like apple butter, or cover with paraffin.
