Ghlaya Sweet Pickles.

A Punta Gorda lady, noted for the
excellence of her guava pickles and
preserves, furnishes the following re-
cipt for guava sweet pickles: Four
pounds of fruit; pounds sugar, 2
cups vinegar, 2 tablespoons of all
spice, tablespoon each of cinnamon
and cloves. Use almost ripe guavas,
peeling them, and cut in quarters, re-
moving seed; then pour sugar over
them and let stand over night. Next
morning, put them on the fire and
let them come to a boil; drain juice
off guayas, adding vinegar and spices
to juice; cook till thick syrup and put
guavas IN the syrup for three success
sive mornings drain off syrup and let
syrup come to a boil; then add qua
vas. The third morning the jars
can be sealed. Some vinegar is
quite sour; so a little more sugar
can be added to suit taste.

PUMPKIN BUGS IN GROVES.
Attack Fruit in October and NOvem-
ber-May be Prevented.

In groves where velvet beans, beg
garweeds and especially cowpeas are
raised for summer cover crop
pumpkin bugs are apt to breed in
large numbers. In September the
bugs of the last brood of the year
are Matching and growing. If al
lowed to mature in the grove there
in danger that they will attack the
fruit in late October and November.
To eliminate this danger cut out the
cover crop in September. Cut around
the trees first, leaving the middles
to be cut later. Let the scythe pre-
cede, rather than follow, the mower.
There are very few adults on the
cover crop now, anG if the young are
driven away from the trees, as here
suggested, most of them will die be-
fore they can get back to the trees,

BELFAST

The Penobscot river glacier has
reached Belfast bay and huge cakes
many Of them II or Is feet square and
shore of the harbor or floating in
the inner bay. At one time today
what looks like a bar or bridge was
former directly across Belfast har-
Dor and traffic was nearly blocked.
Not in years has so much ice from,
the river drifted into the bay and it
is sight worth seeing. 1t is dirty
and carries with il much foreign
matter but beats anything ever seen
hereabouts before. 1t is unlike the
ice which forms about the bay for
it contains a large amount Of fresh
water and is. much firmer than the
salt water ice. "A glance about the
harbor on Saturday would lead one
to believe that there can be but lit
tie ice in the river and that the
Steamship Camden will be able to
make her landing at Bangor on
Tuesday. Prior to this influx of riv-
er ice the harbor and bay were as
free as in tho summer time.
The city and rural schools will re-
open on Monday after after the
Easter recess. Many Of the teachers
have been in Boston or New York
for their vacation while others have
visited their homes. Former SUBJ
master Chester B. Floyd has been in
Belfast for the week and Miss Mel
vena Y. Parker former teacher of
the B. II. S. now teaching in Bangor
High, has been at her home in
Church street for the recess. A num-
Der of the boys and girls who have
been home from school and college
are returning on Saturday and Mon-
day to resume their studies.
