About half the battle in really good cooking;, is in knowing what the finished ‘product ‘ • should be like — to recognize per­ fection. — Champion cooks have.-found that flavox* and texture are most import­ ant. In judging, jelly, for instance, 75 out of 100 is given for flavor and- ' texture. This flavor is, of course, the zestful tang bf the fresh, fully-ripe .....fruit and jelly of perfect texture holds its shape when turned out of " a glass, yet quivers When the plate . ' on which it rests, is moved. Many cooks will produce a jelly that sets,,\but which .slumps "with a weary lurt/n when it is turned out of the jar. An even greater .number . of Cooks never achieve a really flavor- some, jelly..

HOUSEHOLD USES FOR SALT , At this "time of the year garden- I Ing is the favourite outdoor sport of I tnany /families. A. little, salt goes a long way in the.successful cultivat- . ion of a flower or vegetable garden, It does afiy garden good to give it _ very light applications of salt, about' once ounce for every square yard. Such vegetables as beets,’ asparagus and -onions, and flowering plants ' Buch as sabbatia, grow better for a. . pinch of .salt. SUMMER HODGE PODGE___ _ Cut up a liberal supply of any fruits and berries you have, on hand, ' mixing them as you would for. a fruit cup or punch.
