One is reminded of that old piece of memory work which runs .thus, "Breathes there a man with soul se dead who never to . himself hath said, This is my own, my native land; etc." -,Thus 'far I had regarded the Marititne area as being something quite apart from the scenery; .So 'familiar to one from. Ontario. Since my fortune took me to that part of the Mari- times which `is so distinctly dif- ferent and which geographically is set apart I was to be reminded of myown good old Ontario agri-• cultural pursuits. For a son of the soil, Prince Edward. Island is ,a placewhere one canasso- ciate withfarmers . in _the truest -"spud". Even up in the agricul- tural province of Ontario hun- dreds of car loads of P.E.I. pot- atoes 'find their way. In fact that is one point the islanders like to rub in to one fro Ontario. - The. island, has _-p from some of Canada's finest statesmen .in- eluding seven of .Canada's Fath-, ers of Confederation: " There is a' room. in the Provincial Pari- lament Buildings which isre- garded 'as e-garded'as the cradle of Confeder- ation for it was within the •con-, 'fines of this room that the basis for the terms of the agreement which was to unite..the provinces into `the Dominion of.

All: forms of fishing , are in- dulged in and around •the island including oyster farming which has a small following elsewhere on the east coast. One cannot associate oneself with the island region ` without ' being impressed with the variety and quantity of wooden boats, every size ,and. shape imaginable, may be seen anywhere there is waiter. As we left the island by ferry, which .by the way takes the rail - ,way, coaches from steel to steel, it was common sight to see the fishing smacks bobbing up ; and down like cork§ as the fisherman, strung his line with fond hopes and 'n'er a care or worry. - t THE RAMBLER.. 'THS TREAT' S • rAt`Y T course means than the white man has circulated in and around the place for over ° four hundred years. . . It does seem hard to believe that this part of Canada was un- der French rule for two hundred and twenty -four -years. Jacques Cartier in hisreport to the home government referred to P.E.I. as the "Garden ' .of the Gulf'. This is the flame thegood folks. on the island still wish to .:retain as the very name suggests the natural, 'beauty. Despite the war and inconveniences brought about, for -travelling by train or car I am advised that there ,has been no 'falling off of the tourist travel to the place.

Ontario's last perishable fruit of the season. is ripening, and -the time is truly ripe to fill every jar yob, have left with .grapes — witli grape juice to be served hot or cold; I suggest, as a -...sauce to 'top . des - 'sects, or jelly for breakfast. This. delicious. fruit' is quite, inexpen- sive, and the period required for cooking or canning is unusually short. Fortunately, , too,grapes'' are easy to 'do down'. Be sure to choose compact bunches of large, firm grapes for quality 'and flavor. The deep, rich blue Concord grape is, the fav- orite; with . many hornemakers. Grape Jelly Wash grapes and remove stems. Place in° kettle. Mash unt'il'-juice flows: freely. Cook slowly until. grapes lose their shape. Remove from fire and 'drain over night .; thru double thickness of cheese cloth. Measure 'juice; bring to boiling point and boil five min- utes. Add an ; equal measure of heated :sugar, stirring until' sugar is dissolved. Boil 'rapidly for a- bout 5 minutes or until it sheets from the side of a spoon. Pont, into sterilized glasses. When cool, pour on melted paraffin and keep in a cool,,,dry place. Grape lam ` 4 lbs. blue grapes, 21/2 cups -sugar,. 21/z cups corn syrup Method: Wash & stem grapes; weigh; separate pulp from skins, and .cook pulpgently until soft. Press through sieve: ` Combine pulp and skins; cookon electric element turned `Low" for 5 mins. Add sugar and corn syrup. Sim- mer gently until thick (about ,15 mins) Pour info hot sterile glas- ses anal' while still Warm, seal' with hot paraffin. Yield: 9 eight- ounce jars, Grape Juice—without sugar After picking grapes, leave for two or three. days to mellow. Pick over andwash: Add i%4: cup water to each cup fruit. Simmer until tender—DO NOT BOIL. Press through cheesecloth: Clarify by straining again through another cloth. Reheat juice to simmering point only, stirring corlstantly.1 Pour -into sterilized bottles. , Cap and immerse in hot water bath, kept at simmering point,{ for 15 minutes. A Grape Ketchup (requested) 4 lbs. grapes, 1 lb. tart • , apples, 2 lbs. -granulated- sug- ar, 14 cups vinegar; 1 , tsp. salt, tbs. cinnamon, 2 tsps. allspice,: 2 tsps. cloves. • Wash grapes, remove from sterns. Place. , in pan and steam - until, soft without ' adding water,,. Cook' apples, until tender :and press through sieve. Add sugar, • vinegar, salt and spices. Simmer '20' minutes .on: electric element turned to "Low".. Seal in clean,. hot jars. TAKE ,A TIP: When making grape jelly: bong cooking is apt to destroy the natural pectin . which .gives. the grapes theirperfectjelly- ing property, so it's wise to use a kettle with a wide -base --the juice boils up faster. Jelly is best/ made when in small ,quantiti Os—one to three;i quarts of juice in a ten' or 121. quart kettle.! User the / "sheet" 'method . to test the Telly.. Let a small a- mount of mixture drop from the side of a wooden spoon— when . . the drops flow together and drip off, jelly is' done. Be sure to stir mixture.. frequent- ly as it jellsquickly. w, :Grape jelly tends to crystallize, --especially if the' grapes Lre real ripe.. To, prevent' this; add - chopped tart apples to the mix- ture and cook . together. To one • quart of grape juice, add : one medium - size apple, cut in pieces, removing core only: Tire apple will improve the flavor. too, Remember to skin the grapes in making grape jam or pre- serves and cook' the skins 1h %ringing to a simmerin only; boiling toughens the s THE QUESTION 'BORA .Mrs.' T. C. Asks: Is it possible to use corn syrup tins fpr can- ning tomatoes? a Answer: Yes. Scald the tins and. proceed in ''exactly the usual way , except,do not add salt or suga.. Before the tins are put in the , oven, press the lids down very lightly. When -the oven baking is done; tap the lids on with a .hammer and seal with parawax.
