The eggs hatch in early spring and begin feeding along the edges of the leaves. As the cater pillars grow, they work their way into the leaves, causing "water soaked” ar eas. Later, usualy after the flowering period, the borer chews its way down into the rhizome. — Blueberry Cobbler .1 recipe rich biscuit dough About 2 tbsps. milk 1 cup sugar 1 qt. blueberries 1 tsp. grated orange rind 1 tbsp, butter, Make soft biscuit dough.

In these busy days, many of us have tp satisfy our hunger with a sandwich, often bolted hurriedly. We know we’re playing fast and loose with our insides, but the job must take - first place. Irregular meals, irregular sleep, and new ways of living are all causes of constipa tion. How to Get Gentle Relief Constipation, as you know, is caused mainly by the disappearance of moisture from the large intestine. Therefore, that moisture must re turn. This is done by the action of the several mineral salts which are present in Kruschen. At the same time Kruschen, by its diuretic action helps to flush the kidneys, thus ridding your bloodstream of its accumulated toxic poisons. It stands to reason that the size of dose for relieving constipation depends on the individual. But once this initial constipation has been relieved, a small daily dose—just enough to cover a dime-^will help to keep you regular, and cheerful. Start today to remedy the mischief wrought by irregular meals and hours, You can get Kruschen from any druggist—25c, and 75c. THE MIXING BOWL 12, Cover odd caps or corks with melted paraffin. ByAMMfACUM ■ CANNING FRUIT As illustrated in the Garden-Graph it is in the rhizome that borers do the most damage. It usually destroys a bud or eye and eats out a section, sometimes only leaving a shell of the root. The borer then enters the soil to pupate. It is advisable to divide the iris early to catch this pest before it pupates. A thorough forking gver of the soil at planting time helps to destroy any pupae already formed.

You can serve it with whipped cream if you like, with hard- sauce, or with custard sauce. Today’s Menu Breaded Veal Steak Baked Potatoes with Butter Scalloped Tomatoes Lettuce Salad Blueberry Cobbler with Custard Sauce Tea Hello Homemakers! We’ve decided to continue our forum on canning this week. The economical preservation of fruit is a matter of vital importance <on the “home front’’ this season. .* * * Canned fruit juices are very popular, particulary cherry, eldergerry, rhuibanb currant, grape, raspberry and tomato juice. These true fruit juices may be used in a variety of ways for beverages appetizers, gelatin salads, pudding sauces and sherbets. They are also valuable as substitutes for certain spices.♦ * ♦ The best bottled juice is obtained ■by using the following directions: 1. Select sound, ripe fruit. 2. Was'h and stem fruit. (Let grap es stand 2 days to mellow the juice.). 3. Crush fruit with a masher or cut such fruit as rhubarb into small pieces. 4. To 3 pints of berries add 2 cups medium syrup. For unsweetened juic es add 14 cup water for each cup of fruit. . • 1'• 1 . ■•! •■ • 5. Cook until soft in large covered Saucepan on electric element turned from high to low. 6. Pour into cotton jelly bag and press -through slowly. 7. Strain through three layers of cheesecloth and bring to a simmering point, stirring constantly. 9. Fill hot sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly. 10. Immerse bottle sin water bath at simmering point. 11. Cool quickly by running luke warm water, then cold water over bot tles. When canning peaches, pears, etc. by the "cold-pack” method you’ll find that only a limited number of pieces of ruit can be put in each , jar, so the proportions of fruit to syrup in each jar will be smaller than if the fruit were small, or softened by pre-cooking Therefore, choose a less-sweet syrup than for the "open-kettle” method.♦ * ♦. For each quart of large fruit use 314 cups thin syrup made of 114 cups of sugar and 3 cups water — or 3 cups medium syrup made by boiling 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water — or 3 cups of heavy syrup made of boiling 3 cups sugar and 2% cups water.♦ ♦ * A frequent question is “How much fruit will meet ithe specific need of a family of six, for one year”? Allow ing for six months with no fresh fruit except apples, and imported fruits; four months of the year with no raw apples, and four months to supple ment raw fruit, the close estimate is 247 quarts of fruit.. Prices and quality of fruit on the market — or amount produced in your garden will re-adjust this amount, It is advisable, too, with fewer imported fruits and difficult tim es ahead to preserve a greater amount pf fruit, than just the specific need. ♦ V * Tomato Juice Pre-cook firm ripe tomatoes to sim mering point. Press through' a fine sieve or puree. Add 1 tsp. salt per quart. Pour juice back into kqtitleand bring to a simmering point, then pour into hot .sterilized battles. Process for 25 misutes in oven at 275 degrees. Tomato Butter (Requested Recipe) 5 lbs. tomatoes 1% lbs. tart apples 2 lbs. sugar 2 cups cider vinegar U pz, stick cinnamon Yt oz, ginger root Vs oz, Mace Vs oz, whole cloves Peel tomatoes and apples, removing apple cores. Put in kettle with sugar, vinegar and spices tied in a bag. £ook together for 3 hours, or until thick, stirring frequently. When thick, re move spice ba gaud pour into’ clean, hot jars and seal. Citron Marmalade Cut citron in Ya inch slices. Peel, remove seeds $nd cut in cubes. Cover With weak brine (allowing 1 tsp, salt to 1 quart water) and allow to stand overnight. In the morning, drain thoroughly, place over electric element turned to “simmer” and cook until ten der, Add sugar and lemon, allowing 2 cups sugar and the juice and rind of 1 lemon and fl cups citron. Bring slowly to a boil and cook until clear. Seal in sterilized jars. Cantaloupe and Peach Conserve (Requested by Mrs. K.B,) 3 cups diced peaches 3 cups sugar Vs cup blanched nuts 2 cups diced cantaloupe 2 oranges, juice and grated rind. Combine peaches, sugar, cantaloupe and, oranges. Cook until mixture is thick and clear. Add nuts and cook for 5 mins, longer. Pour in h.ot steril ized jars. When cool cover with melt ed wax. Take a Tip x 1. Never .screw jar bands down af ter canned products are cold and seal ed. 2. It is not necessary to turn jars of processed fruit upside down, when taken from oven, 3. % Be sure to keep your electric sewing machine oiled. A dry machine is hard to run, and the mechanism in danger of being ruined. Follow dir ections, closely-.♦ ♦ • Question Box o Mrs. D. F. asks: “What effect do ■some,methods of canning have on the flavour of canned fruits? Answer: There is a loss of flavour with the*1 open kettle method in com parison to the cool, clean method of processing in the electric oven where the food values are retained, as well as the flavour, Mrs. W.L. asks: "How does .one "by peel” peaches?” Answer: To one gallon of water add two tablespoons of ly.e and bring to the boiling point. Be sure to use an iron or old enamel pan. (Real firm peaches should only be used with this method). Place peaches in the wire basket or a cheese cloth bag and dip into the boiling solution for one min ute only. Remove and rihse in cold An old towel may be used inwater, rubbing off the peelings. Mrs. B.D. asks: “What causes pea ches to turn dark after have been can ned, and how can this'be prevented?” Answer: Fruit exposed to. air too long after being peeled, and before be ing canned will discolour. This can be prevented by dropping peeled fruit into slightly salted water until ready to put into jars. Pears will retain their whiteness better of a tablespoon of lemon juice is added to each quart jar. Sometimes discoloration is due to under-processing of fruit. An extra five minutes in the processing time will insure-a good colour in canning pears in quart jars. Mrs. A.H. asks: "How are berries and tomatoes kept from floating^ in jars?” Answer: 1. By not overprocessing. 2. By not using over-ripe fruit. 3, By not packing too loosely, 4. By not using too heavy syrup.♦ ♦ ♦Q • * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c|o The Advance-Times..

URGES ROADSIDE WEEDS BE CUT John MacLeod suggests land owners aid municipalities where help is scarce — Loss to crops through weeds totals millions of dollars every year. Farmers who make special efforts to keep their land clean of weeds be- come discouraged when municipal an<£ road authorities allow noxious weeds to mature? seed on roadsides adjoining their farms, states John D. MacLeodr Crops, Seeds and Weed,s Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture. The Weed Con trol Act clearly states all weeds on; roadsides must be destroyed often en ough to prevent the ripening of their seed. However, many municipal councils find it difficult to get help for this work at the proper time. This is par ticularly true this year. They quite realize their responsibility under the Weed Control Act, but are unable to obtain adequate labor. Several muni cipalities have made special appeals to ratepayers asking them to cut down roadside weeds in front of their pro perty, so that no iyeed seeds will ma ture to blow over farm lands. “We have paid dearly for neglect of weeds on roadsides and on farms dur ing the last war,” said Mr. MacLeod, “and a similar situation must not be allowed to develop now. Loss to farm crops through weeds runs into mil lions of dollars every year. This enor mous loss could be prevented if every one co-operated in a war of their own on weeds.” \ CUT COARSE FOR THE PIPE I OLD CHUM' CUT FINE FOR CIGARETTESf WELLINGTON FIRE . ■ Insurance Company Est. 1840 An all Canadian Company which has faithfully served its policyhold ers for over a century.
