ECONOMY IN USE
OF CANNED FOODS
BY BIppY BYE.

Much overeating comes from the
careless serving of rich pies and cakes
after heavy dinner. Canned fruit
served with cake makes a supper or
luncheon sweet which is unnecessar-
lily expensive. Dishes made with tapi-
oca or gelatine and canned fruit cost
less than cake and furnish as much
sugar as the ordinary person requires
in his diet.
Pineapple Taploca.
Soak one cupful pearl tapioca In
enough cold water to cover: drain,
add 2 1-2 cupfuls boiling water and
cook in a double boiler until clear. Add
one can of SHREDDED tapioca, 1.2 tea.
spoonful salt, 1.2 cupful of sugar and
turn into a well-buttered baking dish.
Bake half an hour, and serve hot or
cold, with or without cream or milk
and sugar. Canned peaches or fresh
sliced apples may be substituted for
the pineapple.
Apricot Fluff.
Press one cupful canned apricots
through a sieve; add sugar If re-
CURED; allow one tablespoonful gran.
ulated gelatin dissolved in one cupful
boiling water to each cupful Of the
fruit pulp; beat until the mixture be-
gins to thicken, add the beaten whites
of two eggs, turn into mold and serve
with cream and sugar.
Pear Salad.
Arrange halves of canned pears on
beds of lettuce. Place walnut meats
or balls of cream cheese in the hol.
lows of the pears. Serve with French
dressing or a mayonnaise. Garnish
with ribbons of canned red peppers.

FIELD OF CABBAGE IN THRIFTY CONDITION.
Ia another profitable article that can be
planted right up to midsummer. Cab
bage for sauerkraut and winter stor-
age will usually mature II set out by
July %. OF course, for such late
planting tomatoes and cabbage ought
to have q good start In hothouses and
cold frames. know Of a number OF
farmers who plant beans as late as the
middle Of August and secure real
delicacy for late autumn. 1t Is not al
ways convenient to devote enough
time to garden to develop all these
possibilities.
Success here, as In the first half Of
the growing season, will necessitate
the use Of some time that one may
wish to employ otherwise. 1t Is likely
the women Of the family will have to
use the hoe pretty theoretically when
the men are busy with harvesting and
thrashing. Early mornings and occa-
sional cool days can be put in to adj
vantage at this work. Cultivation Is
absolutely necessary. Weeds must be
kept out Of the way, and dust mulch
Is necessary I'm dry periods. Then
again when the ground hardens after a
rain II must be stirred up.
Irrigation is Of more value on gar
den than many people suppose, and
when a family sets out to make money
from vegetables and flowers 1t Is best
to consider the amount Of work In
vOlved all the way through. In a
drought 1t is necessary to carry water
or provide some system Of irrigation.
1t takes a lot Of water on an acre OF
garden during hot weather, and we
can't expect fresh, crisp products with
out giving them proper attention.
A sprinkling system is the best and
Is not dear A cheap hose will convey
the water from the well and is cheaper
than piping or underground thing. A
fine spray will give a thorough wetting
Of dry soil and does not disturb the
plants nor compact the surface. 1t also
washes Off the dust and leaves the
plants fresh and clean. Careless wet
ting frequently disturbs tender vege-
tables or flowers.
1t must not be understood that land
which is to be used for these late fall
crops Is to lie idle In the fore part Of
the season. The great object Is to plan
succession crops and keep the soil con-
tinually In use, with barely enough
time for stirring 1t and cleaning of
stalks or weeds. Most Of the articles
named above can be used to succeed
themselves. This Is specially true Of
lettuce radishes, beets and peas. Then
celery can follow any Of these prod
ucts, or it may occupy ground which
has already produced crop of early
potatoes, peas or beets. This extra
cropping is good for the soil, but 1t is
