The making of this jam offers an advantage in cook­ ery and the fruits blend perfectly to create an entirely new and individual flavour. We are sure you will find this jam a real treat in months to come and the ease with which it can be made is a treat for the cook now. There is no long boiling time to waste fruit and sugar in this recipe. Bottle fruit pec­ tin does away with all that and in­ sures you. of a jam of the right tex­ ture, natural color and delicious flav­ our. .If it’s not looking too far ahead, we’d suggest putting this particular jam in small bottles for gifts next Christmas. But don’t give it all away — keep some for the family who will appreciate it too.

Boyle "DISTRACTIONS” On the plea that my weekly letter was overdue I today set the hired man to cutting hay in the south meadow below the house, and then betook my­ self out in the orchard to write. Bold­ ly I set out to write of glowing things ... of July dawning . . . and a hay crop . . . and life at Lazy Meadows. First of all it was a squirrel that at­ tracted my attention. He was a birght-eyed bushy tailed little fellow perched on the crooked rail fence. There he sat chattering as insolently as you please, and watching me with evident interest. Tabby, our maraud­ ing pussy stalked bytand he went flit­ tering Along the fence and up into a hole in the side of the driving shed. Then it was Tabby that took my attention. Noiselessly she. padded ov­ er to where Biddy was riding herd on a bunch of chickens. I know that some primitive instinct was telling her that one spring would bring a fluffy chicken for dinner, but she was no doubt restrained by the thought that the avenging hand of man would com­ pensate with her for any primitive urges that she might let go Untamed. From that I digressed to the smell of hay. Now perfume makers the world over can toil over their potions and bring together all the aromatic scents of the world. They can subtly blend them into one and bottle their product in the fanciest container known, but it still wouldn’t measure up in my estimation with that of new- mown hay. Mother earth gives up something to the growing green hay that is released only when the bright, shining and chattering knife of a mower snips it off. It seems like the spirit of the farm ., . all the enchant­ ment of life in a fairyland of wond­ ers blended together by the soul of growing things . , . the pation of the enchantress that makes farmers sat­ isfied with their work, It blots out ^11 ADMISSION: Adults 25c.

Resolutely I shut my mind from the thoughts of what was going on around me. Then came the “honk” of the fish peddler’s horn and certainly I had to see that a fish was purchased. Salt pork arid canned beef lose their ap­ peal when there’s the delicious variety of fresh fish, After deliberating for at least half an hour in which all things from the weather to the hay crop were fully discussed two glisten­ ing beauties of whitefish were select­ ed from among the glittering ice in which they were packed. For at least a quarter of an hour I spent my time in savouring the deliciousness of fish friend in butter. I could just taste the brittle goodness of that outer skin, as it comes glistening from the pan . . . and the unrivalled goodness of the white meat. Being hungry by this time there was nothing to do but repair to the cool­ ness of the milk house and pick out two of the Spies just take from the pit in the morning. While enjoying them my thoughts wandered to the orchard and lying on my side I plan- en all about the Fall crop. I even had them packed in barrels and flares lighted at night to keep the frost from nipping them too severely. Tired from romping after the hors­ es and chasing the errant cotton-tails that kept bobbing out of the alfalfa, Suchansuch, our collie, had to pick that time to come up. Then came an­ other period of thinking about the many dogs that have been raised at Lazy Meadows. I traced them all the way from old Brownie who was' a faithful old playmate when we were all children, down to the present Suchansuch, who in spite of a tend­ ency when quite young to be fickle and foolish has now bore down to be­ ing quite a good cattle dog. I decided to write about the dogs that we have had at Lazy Meadows . . . resolutely I tore up the sheet, on which I had started to write and I wrote "Dogs” quite plainly at the top of the sheet. Then came the call for supper ... I wonder where that afternoon did go! "SwwSeR OBCUM'S- I A I SPECIAL! SALMON SPECIAL! COFFEE SPECIAL! CHEESE FANCY "KETA" "EARLY MORNING" MILD CANADIAN SPECIAL!
