A ROAST Ple DINNER

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Living here in the city, often wonder why il is. that country church societies do
 not oftenel "get up" q roast pig din ner or supper which their city friends would be glad to attend. Since Charles Lamb. immortalized the glor- ies- of roast pig. there are few who do not like, or would not be glad to. get taste of such a delicious bit of ca ating. I am sending the following, which is the Vermont way of prepar- ing and cooking little Master Piggy: Select 8 pig not mere than four weeks old and have the butcher pre- pare it for roasting. Rinse out the inside with a solution of baking soda and water. dry and fill. withsa sage dressing. Sew up the vent ps far turkey. rub well with vegetable oil and lay in a baking pan, doubling the hind feet under the body and cross 'ng the fore feet in front. Tie up the ears in greased paper and place a small block of wood in the mouth. Place in a, hot oven, and after it has cooked for 25 minutes reduce the heat Also dust with salt and paprika when you reduce the heat. Baste frequent ly while roasting. When cooked re- move the piece of wood, insert a small rosy apple and trim with strings of cranberries. If the pig does not brown well add half a teaspoon of kitchen bouquet to the fat in the pan and then haste regularly.

WAYS OF EARNING MONEY,

. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Tn the summertime the picking of all kinds of berries is g fairly lucrative em- ployment for cur spare time, raising flowers and selling bulbs is another.
 read not long ago of a woman who gathered great quantities of bay or candleberries and made them into candles or dips. and as they are quite the fashion, people who make them skilfully find . ready market for them. These berries are gathered in October and are grayish white in color. Any one living where they grow can go into business another fall. t
 Gathering nuts is pleasant work, and If everyone liked the woods and fields as well as I do he would not leave this work to the boys and girls.
 Gathering bulbs and the roots and leaves of medicinal plants is another interesting way of earning money. Some of them are very rare and bring a good price.
 This is a wide subject and could be written on at length as everyone who has read The Harvester knows. I am going to leave it to someone who is smart enough to take up this work in 3 thorough students way and possibly get rich by doing so.
 Gathering shelf fungi. Have YOU seen the outgrowths on dying or dead trees that stand out like a shelf l? They are called bracket or shelf fungi. An artist can make beautiful things of these with engraving tools. If you have such a friend, gather all you can and send them to her.
 Save. corn husks. They are cheaper for summer beds or for porch. cushions and for braiding into mats they are really valuable. and bring a good price. II
 It would be useless for me to. go into the question of raising domestic animals. Most of US have tried this in some form or other and could write an article on the profit or loss Of raising the particular domestic animal of our choice. Doubtless many profitable story could be written on this subject.

rHE HEALTHFuL ApPLE

Dear corneriteS Ai1.-O1e can cas- iiy. believe that the apple was lnpof- t.liit enough to make troubie Ii Eden!-
 Atho caR name such userul and healtnful fruit. one wnicn 1leariy eY- esyDouy likes iii some form or other?
 ou ali know the oid saw All a;g7s.e q day keeps the doctor away ', Aid while the f;oor doctor must nave a chance to live just like other per- sons, there isn one of us who wouIun decide to keep him away from our doors just as long as possible, when ne comes with his case of medicines!
 Many fax-ihes which spend. good money for candy, either caeap or ex- pensive-and who grumbles because no good apple can be found now less than nIckeI in price, would do Tar better to put in barrel of ap- pies and encourage the cnildren-ana adults, too-to eat them freely. On the candy diet and munching there is sure to be stomach trouble; but the good, wholesome apple is not only de- licious to eat; but is a simple and pleasant remedy for many ills.
 The housekeeper who makes plen- ty of @esple sauce, apple dumpligs, ap- pl epirs ,has baked apples. apple puddIngs, etc. is doing her household the very best of good, turns.
 diAO d 1OOh dk LLlG p6IS yOQuS UT old who is fond of eating apples-you are pretty apt to find one with a good, clear, healthy and rosy complexion. Even the despised dried apple is not to be sneered at while nowadays one can buy evaporated apples in splen- did form, so that when cooked they retain the flavor of the fresh fruit.
 Here in Connecticut there is no need of, commenting upon what the old-fashioned apple pie means to every native or adopted son.
 ! Flew housekeepers bother now to make apple turn overs, once the real tid-b bit on such days as parades, trainings, and general public gather ings. But these are just as well liked now as they ever were.
 l Most housewives have their favorite l way of making an apple pie; but l l think my own is a pretty good one, 1 So am sending it along, hoping that | the editor may find room to use my recipe:
 Astoria Apple Pie-Pare and slice i six apples add quarter of cupfHl 1 of water, cook until soft ad rut 1 through a sieve. Add half a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonful If but i ter cut i blrs. the grated rind an6 juice of one lemon, one teaspoonful ot l cinnamon, half teaspoonful of salt 1 three finely rolled macaroons and two lightly beaten eggs. Pour into deer pie plate lined with pastry and bake about forty minutes.

 It is fact that the people who are constant churchgoers select popular songs and vaudeville, and those who never or seldom go to church ike re- Iigious hymns; and those who attend operas are not the ones who buy at big prices records of them, but those who haven't the opportunity or the money buy the machine-made repro duction.

A Happy New Year to all the Sis ters.
 Mary France-Bless you! Shake hands. see you haven't forgotten me and have looked so many times to see if; I could find your name on the Social Corner pags. How I would like to have been with you on that trip to Alton, N. '. I certainly hope you received a pair of shoes for your Christmas present. o, yes, I am still at my old job. Write again.
 Rainbow-Don't expect to see you show yourself vet awhile, for rain bows are not seen in cold weather; but just the same, I haven't forgotten you. It has always been mystery to me how you found out my birthday. I still have the card you sent me two years ago, when you or somebody was in Maine. I'm in hopes to have an- other birthday soon, so don't forget me.
 Lucy Acorn-Have you forgotten me-. I expect, though, you are very busy nowadays, but don't forget your best friend.
 Where is eBiddy? Has she lost her feathers and got to stay indoors. Let's hope she will show up by springttme. We miss your cacl1le, Biddy. Hurry up. eggs are very scarce down this way.

A HINT TO "SELF- F-SUPPORTfNG' Dear Girl: Your troubles were a source of regret to me, as to other readers who have advised you in va rious ways.
 How would it be if you were to car ry@a lunch prepared by yourself, say with a Thermos bottle of hot tea, cof- fee, or cocoa? Then, after eating your lunch, you need not be deprived of the moon walk and exercise which you say you require; for you could take a stroll, no matter what the weather, get fresh air and a change cheered and refreshed. You would save those tips which. we must agree, you are bound to give to the waitress who gives you such good service. Re- member, tip simply represents reward to somebody for doing some thing for you. Tn case you can do that something for yourself, you do not have to tip!
 Why could you not try in your room cooking. one of the little devices which auto tourists carry, to heat coffee, etc., on their trips? Ask to see one at any store where they sell motor acces- sories. Either this or Therrnos bot tie would soon pay for itself, in what, by your own testimony, you are ac- customed to give in tipping. With the heating contrivances you would be able to warm up cooked food which you had bought; and so prepare a good meal in q way which your landlady would have no reason to complain of. unless she is a real hard hearted in- dfvfdual. ,
