processing and insures against loss due to too much acidity in the fruit. Pack two quarts of berries in one just as tightly as possible without crushing.
 The jars and covers must be ster- ilized thoroughly before filing Boil the sugar and water until thick sirup is made.
 Pour this heavy sirup over the fruit, filling the cans to within three quarters of an inch. Adjust rubber and half screw on top. Put in hot water bath and boil half an hour. Count the time after the water starts boiling.
 The water must cover the tops of the jars. When the water has boiled just 30 minutes remove from water and cool as quickly as possible.
 Be careful not to put the cans in draft, for cold air striking the hot jars in one spot will break them. Tighten tops and turn upside down to cool Store in dark, cool, dry place.
 When dipping the berries in the pan of boiling water do not let the fruit remain minute in the water. Dip in and right out immediately into cold water.
 Open Kettle Method.
 Do not cook more than enough to fill one can at time. Put one cup sugar and one-half cup water in smooth stew pan. When boiling add berries and boil eight minutes. Use two quarts of berries for each quart can.
 Fill sterilized jars with berries and add juice to cover fruit and fill can to overfowing. The fruit and juice must be boiling when put into the can and the can must be perfectly full to exclude all air If these two things are overlooked the fruit will not keep. More juice is formed when the open kettle method is used than when fruit is canned by the cold pack method.
 Any juice left from the first can of fruit should be used for the second can. Add one cup of sugar and enough water to make one half cup. Juice left after all the fruit is canned should be sealed while boiling and saved.
 This juice can be used in drinks or combined with red raspberries or rhubarb in jelly or marmalade. Copyright, 1922, NEA Service)

 Somehow the whole herd became gentler At last Farmer Green an- nounced proudly. right in their hear ing. that they were giving more milk.
 Its the milking machine he told the hired man. "The cows like it."
 But the Muley Cow knew better than that. She was too polite to say as much to Farmer Green She wouldn't dream of disputing what he said, though she knew well enough that he had not guessed the secret Being ronly man, he had not noticed how fashionable the COWS had be- come. And since no COW can be a fine fashionable dame if she is rude. noisy and quarrelsome, they simply had to be on their best behavior all the time.
 And they were especially particu lar about two matters. Th0 ate neatly-every bit of fodder that was set before them, and gave all the milk they could in return for it.

The new milking machine was all ready to use.
 Which one are you going to try it on tirst?" the hired man asked Farm CT Green.
 Lets hitch it to the little red cow" said Johnnie Greens father.
 The little red COW gave the Muley Cow a sly nudge. Did you hear that?" she asked Farmer Green knows who's fashionable. He chooses me to be first And it's great honor"
 'Nonsense." said the Muley Cow. He picked you because you're the smallest COW on the farm. He thinks you wouldn't dare object to the milk ing machine Just you wait till they try it on me, I'll kick. I'll bel- low! I'll switch my tail at them"
 The little red COW made no reply. Already Farmer Green and the hired man had stepped up beside her. And they were just about to fasten the milking machine to her when the bawl
 Whats the matter?" the little red COW asked her.
 T was just thinking" she stam- mered, what a terrible thing it would be if they couldn't stop the machine!"
 That was an awful thought. Such an idea had never entered the red cows head And the moment she heard it she no longer wanted to be fashionable. She was so alarmed that she dashed out with both hind feet in a most unladyike manner. And she plunged and roared and made such a fuss that Farmer Green

That's your job, I'd only make a botch of it, But I'd like to spare you every appearance in public with that lamp that l can, and resting here this morn- ing would be better for your nerves than traipsing around the foreign sec tions of the city"

 This rule is for plair berries canned for table use. The proportions are calculated to suit the woman who is not equipped to can a large quantity at one time.
 This method is little different from the usual cold pack, but is a very successful and satisfactorily one.
 Six quarts berries, 3 cups cane sugar. 1 cup boiling water.
 Wash and hull berries. Fill col ander with berries and dip in large pan of boiling water. Remove in stantly and dip in pan of cold water.

LY FASHION SERVICE s
==-=====DAILY FASHION sERVIcE=--====z WILL SHE WEAR THEM?

What will American women do with knickerbockers
 Every smart shop on Fifth avenue displays them. A good many smart women have been wearing them, with apparent pleasure. .& But not enough women, the coun- try over, have yet adopted them to establish them firmly as a real vogue.
 And one wonders why, for there Is no garment made which, when worn with smart accessories is so delightfully."- jaunty looking. And it is a fact that when a woman knows she looks jaunty she automatically feels young.
 That they will, in another season or two. be really popular, is implied in recent utterance of Gene Strat- ton Porter. Americas most popular woman writer Although not def- nitely discussing knickers at the time, Mrs. Porter wore knickers her self as she talked.
 Among a world or other tardy. realizations the world has come to realize that every woman has two legs and that these legs in all proba-  blity are proportionate to the re- mainder of her frame" said Mrs. Porter.
 There is no longer any curiosity concerning legs; they are absolutely prevalent-as common as arms or heads. And the world has consented that she may cover them with skirts. brooches or Turkish trousers, as she pleases."
 As she pleases!
 Then why does she hesitate to adopt the jaunty, comfortable, emil nently sensible, yet ultra-smart knickers?
 Apparently she is still wondering whether or not they make her look too boyish. Will they destroy her feminine appeal? That, one fancies, is the question which gives her pause.

and the hired man left her in dis gust.
 She hasn't the brains of a hen,' Farmer Green declared.
 Shall we try the big white cow" the hired man asked him,
 No! She's a numbskul too" said Farmer Green. He was feeling some what cross, for the little red COW had given him a smart kick. Let's take the old Muley, She knows some thing, even if she is jumper
 Well. what could the Muley Cow do? She had declared to all her friends that she would not be milked by any new-fanglcd milking machine. But when Farmer Green spoke so pleasantly about her, she hadn't the heart to disappoint him. So she stood quite still for few minutes. And soon she had the honor of being the first COW in the herd to be milkcd the fashionable new way
 The little red COW was frightfully jealous of her. And she called the Muley Cow "an old humbug."
 You said you wouldn't let them 'o It, 'llt lllilt lfI tDN SplulltTtn' And here you are, with the honor of being first"
 And yoll---" the Muley Cow re- torted-'you said you were glad the milking machine had come, But you certainly didn't act pleased when they offered to use 1t on you .. Speaking of humbugs, I should say you were one yourself"
 For once the little red COW had nothing to say. The herd agreed that it was the first dispute in which she hadn't had the final word And to their surprise, even afterward the little red COW was meek and mild. She even let Farmer Green milk her
