Canning Season Starts-Rhubarl
fresh from the garden starts the can
ming season., and this fruit, III add
ton to making fine pies and sauces,
can be canned to use during the win
ter with ~raisins, oranges, prunes or III
~marmalades. These recipes are worth
trying:
Canned Rhubarb-Remove skin and
cut in one-inch lengths. Put into ster
lie jars, cover with water which ha
been boiled and cooled. Seal. When

will find that the fruit tastes like
fresh rhubarb.
Rhubarb Butter-Chop 2 quarts
rhubarb, 2 oranges, 70 lemon and y =
seedless r~aisins, or put them through
| food grinder. Cook fruits with : cups
| sugar one hour, or until butter Is al.
most smooth. Pour into sterile Jars
and seal t..
Rhubarb Marmalade-Cut 2 pounds
rhubarb in one-inch pieces; boil with
~ pound nutmcats in one cup water
Until nuts are soft. Add one cup sugar
and = thinly sliced lemons, from which
seeds are removed. Cook until syruI

The decline Of the turkey
growing industry in the near
by territory which formerly
supplied the great eastern
markets is doubtless due to
the appearance and spread Of
q peculiar disease which poul-
trymen know as blackhead.
When the disease gets estab-
lished in fiocA it is almost
impossible to grow turkeys
to maturity. This disorder
seems to be due to the action
of a micro-organism, but the
facts regarding the specie or
ganism, the methods Of in
lection and how the trouble
may be prevented or con-
ltrolled, are still to be worked
out.
Another limiting factor In
turkey raising is range. The
turkey is essentially a bird of

unrestricted freedom, full lib
erty to wander at will over
fields and through woodland,
where it finds its natural food.
