TOMATO CUTTINGS.

Dear Social Corner Members: I did not know until lately that tomato cut tings would root in a short time; al- though others may know about them; hut will pass my experience along, and it may help someone. One of the cherry tomatoes began to wilt badly and I supposed the cutworms had de- stroyed it; then I took two slips and kept them well watered and they re- sponded in a few days. The soil was banked around the original plant and t has revived and is growing again
 I have four slips of the large va riety potted. For winter window cul- ture one can root 8 selection from those that are the best and if they do well through the winter, cuttings can be started in thefspring for t.fs garden: that is, if the coal bin does not run dry
 Will write later about my war vege- tables. .'.t

PRESERVING FRUIT WITHOUT
 FIRE

Dear Social Corner Sisters: l am going to fulfill long standing promise to myself by becoming a member of the Social Corner.
 Although not a reader of The Bulle- tin a the time the Social Corner was esta blished, as some of the Sisters were, l. have been for the past few years.
 I think the Editor is to be congrat- ulated on the success of the Social Corner page, for it is not merely an addition to The Bulletin. but an insti- tuticn which has made it welcome in many places outside the confines Of feastern Connecticut.
 1 am sending a few suggestions for preserving which may prove oppor- tune as the canning season will soon be at its height.
 No fire is needed in preserving by these recipes. The first is as follows: Put one quart of fine white pre- i serving Batavia brandy into' a two i gallon stone jar with tight fitting top. l Then for every pound of fruit, in prime 1 condition and perfectly dry, use three quarters of a pound of sugar; stir i every day so that the sugar will be dissolved, using a wooden spoon kept for the purpose.
 Every sort of fruit may be used Be sure and have at least one pound of black cherries. as they make the color [ of the preserve very rich Any fruit may be preserved by this method.
 Plums and grapes should be peeled | and seeded; apricots and peaches cut in quarters or smaller; cherries must i also be seeded: quinces may be steamed until tender.
 The jar must be kept in a cool, dry place, and the daily stirring never omitted. Fruit may be added from day to day. just as you happen to have it. The preserve will be ready for use within a week after the last fruit 1 is added. and will keep for months
 The second method is as follows: Take some pure white vinegar and mix
 with it granulated sugar until a syruT is formed free from acidity. Pour this
 syrup into earthen jars and put in ii
 good ripe fruit gathered in dry
 weather. Cover the jars tight and put
 in a dry place. The contents vii
 keep for six or eight months and the
 flavor of the fruit will be excellent.
 These suggestions will appeal to the
 patriotism of the Sisters who are all
 am sure, doing their best to follow
 MT. Flowers instructions and win tht
 war.
 . w nile l thlnK the subject Of tue
 conservation has not been brought ul in the Social Corner, no doubt al know that it is just as essential al
 saving food. In some cities there arr
 regulations prohibiting the use of fue
 for heating purposes before Dec. | Aside from the question of patriot
 ism, however, your personal comfor will commend them to you if the ho
 weather of the past week continues. I fear you will think me rather pre-
 suming to take so much space tn , first time, but when I start wrttini letters I find it hard to stop, and tn knowledge that every one is welcom , in The Corner is very assuring. Should these suggestions prove 0 value to anyone. I have many nor
 which I would be glad to offer. MERCY SAKES

for any number of stitches required.
 Plain knitting-Slip the point of the right hand needle in a loop, bring the thread around it, and with the fore finger push the point of the just twisted round, forms a new one on the right hand.
 PurIing-The right hand needle is slipped in the loon in front of the left hand one and the thread after pass ing between the two, is brought around it. It is then worked as before. The thread is always brought forward before beginning a purled stitch un- to the contrary.

CLEANING AND SPEAKING FLAT
 FISH.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I am sending directions how to clean and steak founders and fatfeh. =
 Now that fish boats are in the har- bor, many would like to avail them selves of the opportunity and obtain fresh fish. but you are. obliged to clean and steak them yourselves Nothing else in the line deteriorates so rapidly as these fish.
 First, I take the fish. or. meat board and place it across the sink; then put a paper on il, and take cloth and wipe the fish as dry as possible.
 Second. 1 cut a piece back Of the neck and give the neck twist and it will take out the entrails.~
 Thlrd, I then take the scissors and cut off the fins and tail, and lay the fish in a pan while get rid of these, roll in newspaper and put them in the pan to take out.
 Fourth-Put another paper on the board and put an awl through the tail of the fish to hold it; then I scale it and place the fish in a pan. of salt and water and wash the fish thor oughly, roll up the papers and put these in an ash can.s
 Your board being nice and clean, take cloth and wipe it very dry, | then commencing at the middle of the | back cut down to the end of the tail; 1 the middle of the backbone is the highest point and you can after cut 1 ting through to the bone cut away down to the sides, and it will cut | clean from the bone: then turn your fish over and cut the opposite side; this removes the bone and you have your fish steaked.
 I preserve the fish then by dipping it in meal and salt place in the ice box, and it will retain it's freshness. I have found if it once gets heated, nothing will bring back its delicate flavor. I have hunted the cook books and could moi find how to steak flsh, and though should any Sister like this recipe she should have it. People who do rot live near the shore might not be able to clean the fish.
 I always boil the bones of the fish after steaking, and makes a delicious chowder. After boiling, save the water. pick fish off of bones and tc three cups of the water and fish put three slices of pork, four onions and two potatces and one-haf cup ot cream or milk.
 In frying fish I allow one and one quarter pounds of salt pork to every four and one-quarter pounds Of fish First cut pork in thin slices and fry a crisp brown: remove pork from par } and place fish in pan. the skin sid' 1 up, and fry a rich brown. You cal dip it in beaten egg. roll in breat r crumbs and fry in boiling fat enougf l to cover. Where Indian meal Is no liked you can use cream of wheat t flour. This is particularly nice r fried without pork. After placing fsl ? in dish melt butter and pour over il All meal or flour used in fryini should be thoroughly mixed with salt

INSTRUCTIONS IN. KNITTING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: AL though the art of knitting is known perhaps TOW more generally than most any kind of fancy work, still the knowledge is not universal, and there are so many who wish to knit I think the elementary parts of the craft will he welcomed by many of the reads of our Social Corner.
 The first thing we look for is the imp 1ements For knitting socks steel needles are used for a sweater are rods of ivory or bore: the next after getting the needles the stitches have to be cast on. To effect this. hold the end of the wool between the first and second fingers of the left hand: bring it over the thumb and fore finger. and bend the latter to twist the wool into loon: hold the wool attached to the reel between the third and little fin gers of the right hand and over the roint of the fore finger; bring the thread round the needle by the
 slightest possible motion; then bend the needle towards you and tighten the loop on the left Land fn- ger. and letting it slip off to form the fret stitch.
 Formation of siaictes - Now tak. that needle with the loop on it in the left hand and another in the right Observe the positions of the hands The left hand needle is held between | the thumb and the second finger. leav- i ing the fore finger free to aid in nov | ing the points of the needle. This
 mode of using the fore finger instead 1 of employing it merely to hold the needle, is the greatest secret to be l able to knit without looking at the work After a little practice you car 1 tell what sort of stitch is coming next
 Insert the end of point of the needle in the loop. bringing it be hind tho other needle, slip the thread around it, bring the point in front i and transfer the loop to the left hand
 needle without withdraw it from
 the right hand Repeat the process
