 i5 We will talk about cabha ge worms later, MFsssBrown; but as yoH have ionIy g early and expect to- have only ! -laas late ones, here is a good rule to 1 follow. After you have got your clothes washed next Monday, never mind how dirty and seapy the water is. just l throw 1t directly into the head. Keep l this up every wash day and you won't l have many ca bhage worms L3 l. Miss Kate wants to know how to

Ne matter how low the sugar getsein the sugar bowl don't touch t1a t
 jar. then when canning time comes Eyou will be the proud owner of sugar l enough to carry you through and won't even feel the high cost of the gfea
 necessity. Try it next winter Kate,
 or come and see the many jars I have got packed way for this seasoff'ss use. l You need not use pound for poiird in making crab apple and several other 1 jellies. 5----.- .-,+-,-------- Mrs NJ of Stonington wants to I know how to make good blackberry | jelly. Woman's work again However, 1 I will tell Mrs, Sf-- of Stonington how l to fool the blackberry juice so it will I jell we'll It is very simple: Just add 1 one tablespoon of vinegar-cider vine 1 gar-to each pint of juice and you will be surprised at the luck you have. Miss Jennie of Mantle wants to I know if currant jely can be- made fevenings. The only time to make any : kind of je1l is the very brightest sun
 shiny day. Never start any kind of 1 jelI making nights or in rainy weather.
 It may come out all right, but nothing is sure about it.
 I I thank you all. ,..tFr g
