IJISTORY tells us that the old
l1Roman Empire, with its luxurious
living, enjoyed the flavor Of the cherry
and, upon its advent into England,
transplanted the cherry tree with 1t.
Today IL grows in every civilized coun-
try.
Travellers through the Orient know
that the cherry blossom. time in Japan

biossoming tree greet one for so far as
the eye can see. Both the tops of the
trees and the ground are covered with
these snowy blossoms.

such delight to us, for after the little
blossoms fall, soon little hard green
balls take their place. and then swell

for conserving and winter use.
Here are some old time cherry recipes
for drying and canning and conserv-
ing cherries for winter use. They will
require but little sugar.
To Dry
The cherries may be stoned or dried
with the stones in the fruit. Artifi-
cial heat Is needed. Stone the cherries
and then spread in a single layer on
a wire tray, covered with cheesecloth.
Place in the evaporation or in the oven
of the gas range, heated to 130 degrees
Fahrenheit. When dry, turn into large
paper bags and let stand for two days
: to condition and then spread on a tray
in n sunny spot for two hours. Re
peat this for three days. This prevents
molding.
Pickled Cherries
Wash and then stone the cherries.
Now place:
One cup Of vinegdr,
One cup of sugar,
One cup of corn sirup
In the preserving kettle aud bring to
q boil. Add a stick of cinnamon and
One teaspoon of grated nutmeg,
Three pieces of blade mace.
Simmer slowly for fifteen minutes
and then add as many cherries as the
mixture will cover this is usually about
ten pounds of stoned fruit. Cook for
twenty minutes and then ill into all

flew swiftly from the tree where 1t had

Peggy. after peering up into the tree
under which she was sitting, looking
under the lawn swing. and searching
through the shrubbery, decided she had
only imagined the gentle voices. Set
tling herself comfortably once more, she
picked up her book
She read on undisturbed for a few
moments, then. as the fairy book prince
said farewell to his princess with the
words: The sun is setting, must go,
but with the rising OF the moon will be
with you again, my princess" the self
same words were repeated close by her
side. AS Peggy quickly looked up her
