(Fron, Mrs. M. A. d., Arlington
I should like to say that about

consisted of adding gradually one
pint of milk to each pound of but
ter. At that time it was a slow
procedure. having been done by
mixing with a tablespoon; how
ever, in this day of electric mix
ers it should be comparatively
easy to do. This method results
in approximately 2 pounds of but
ter, which, due to the addition OF
the milk. is lighter in color and
less salty than the original butter.

down the pipe. Put pipe in the
middle of the barrel and put dirt
all around the pipe until full
Plant Strawberries on top of bar

LILAC BUSHES.

| (Fron Mrs. c. M. F., Washington
noticed the inquiry concern
ing the lilac bushes. While wait
ing for q half hour of music on
the radio, listened to the end of
a program being broadcast by
Garden Gate" at 9:15 over
WTOP and heard a voice giving
advice regarding the non-produc-
tiveness Of apple trees. It was
stated that the reason the trees
didn't produce apples though
they grew and were in healthy
condition was that too much Of
the wrong type Of fertilizers had
been put in the ground. such
fertilizers containing too much
nitrate. The gentleman stated
that this applied to lilacs bushes
as well. The thing to do was to
plant rye around the plant or
trees and then when grown, dig
up the rye and turn it under
and that would constitute the
proper type of fertilizer.
Perhaps If the inquirer, Mrs. c.
L. G. of Capitol Heights. would get
in touch with the program above
mentioned, she might get further
detailed information.
(From M. D. w., Silper Spring.
I had the same experience with
2 bushes which I planted in the
Spring of 1912. The bushes grew
but they had no flowers. I was
informed that they would not
bloom until 7 years after plant
ing. Sure enough. this year seven
years later, on schedule, they were
covered with flowers.
So I suggest that you sit 1t out
for five more years and see what
happens!

CANNING TIPS.

(Fron1 Mrs. A. T. G., Washington
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to let you know how much
we enjoy reading the RICH. We
have found it to be an unending
source Of useful and varied infor-
nation. It would be wonderful il
it were possible to make it half
page each night so its devotees
could just cut out the whole piece
for an RICH note book.
Do any of the readers know
where might find one or two
Aladdin Mantel Lamps!
Now for a few canning tips.
Accidentally I made mistake
when canning tomatoes several
years ago and as a result the
tomatoes were firmer. more fla
vorable, didn't shrink and kept
perfectly. The secret is to cook
only Is minutes after the boiling
point is reached rather than the
usual 80 or IS minutes. The other
suggestion was passed on to me
by a friend and it is a big help
to me and those who do canning
after the children are in bed. For
delicious string beans pack washed
beans in sterilized jars, fill with
cold running water. add salt (12
teaspoon for pint, l teaspoon for
quartz, work out air bubbles and
seal. You may then leave them
until morning to process. The
best processing time is three
hours.

USING GREEN TOMATOES
(From Mrs. M. r. w.,
To3yfo,1 s,,}J1ol
LdytonsutUe)

Here are the recipes using green
tomatoes requested by the lady in
Mclean.
Green tomato preserves: Five
pounds I'll cups chopped green
tomatoes, 4 pounds g cups) SUI
gar, 2 lemons, sliced thin. Cut
tomatoes into small cubes or
chunks, cover with hot water and
boil 5 minutes. Drain, add sugar
to tomatoes and let stand about
three hours or longer. Drain off
syrup and boil rapidly until it
spins thread when dropped from
a spoon. Add tomatoes and lemon.
Boil until thick and clear (about
10 minutes. Pour into sterilized
jars and seal.
Green tomato pie: Five or 6 me-
dium sized green tomatoes, 2
lemons, sliced thin, u cup sugar, l
teaspoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons
-four, 2 tablespoons butter, one
recipe plain pastry. Slice toma-
toes and place a layer in bottom
of a pastry lined pie plate. Lay
over thin slices of lemon, sprin-
kle with sugar, cinnamon and
dust of flour. Continue to layer
tomatoes and lemon, adding su-
gar, cinnamon and dust Of flour
until the pie plate is filled. Dot
over with butter. Cover with top
crust and place in hot oven (425
degrees) for 10 minutes. Reduce
heat to moderate $3.50 degrees)
and continue baking until toma-
toes are tender, about rs minutes.
Yields one 9-inch pie.
If you have a large quantity OF
green tomatoes, they may be
stored in a large paper sack. with
the top turned down, and they will
ripen evenly. Tomatoes stored
before the frost hits them will
ripen slowly and you will have
ripe tomatoes for Thanksgiving.
