CANNING CORNER
by Laura C, Pepper
Chief; Consumer Section, Dominion
Department of Agriculture
Autumn is a busy seasoir for most
housewilres primarily because .of can-
ning, but this year SQ1.11e women may
find it difficult to make up their usual
store of grape jelly, owing to lack of
time or limited-sugar.
The new "preserves ration" alternate
of 1/2 pound sugar every two weeks
will ;partially alleviate the' latter dif-
ficulty. The following* suggestion of
the Consumer Section, Department of
Agriculture, for preparing juice for
jelly to be made later in the season,•
will help solve the problems of both
time and sugar,
Juice for Grape Jelly
Grapes for jelly making should be
slightly under ripe. •
Wash one 6-qt, basket of grapes and
remove stems. Mash and add two cups
water, Cook slowly over low heat
until juice is drawn.. out. Strain
through a moist 'jelly bag overnight,
In the morning, bring juice to boil-
ing point, pour into hot sterilized seal-
ers and partially seal. Process at sim-
mering temperature. in a water bath
for 30 minutes. Complete seal, test,
for leakage and store in a cool, dry
place.
When ready to use, measure juice
and measure % cup sugar for each
cup of juice. Boil juice 10 minutes,
skim and test for pectin by mixing
1 tablespoon of juice with 1 tablespoon
of alcohol., If the mixture forms a'
jelly-like mass, the juice is sufficiently
concentrated. If mixture does not
change in consistency, boil a few min-
utes longer until a satisfactory test is
obtained, Then add. the warmed sugar
and boil 5 to 10 minutes longer until
jelly breaks off when dropped from a
spoon, or, if using a thermometer, mita
the temperature reaelies 220° F. Skim,
pour at once into sterilized glassds and
leave undisturbed until jelly is .firm.
Cover with melted 'wax and store in a
cool dry place,
Marmalade made from Pull?
A very satisfactory marmalade can
be made from the pulp left after
straining the juice, Press pulp through
a coarse sieve to remove seeds, To
each cup of pulp add ,% cup sugar,
Cool together until thick, stirring to
prevent burning. Pour into hot steri-
lized jars, Cool and seal with melted
wax. Store in a cool, dry place,

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
The annual fall session of house-
cleaning is just getting warmed • up
here at Lazy Meadows. I find that it
pays to have work to do at the barn
or out in the fields these days. A
woman certainly is not to be trifled
with when the house cleaning is in full
swing. She simply doesn't want to
be bothered with anything as useless
as a man -around.
In the first place the question of
what to do with the "junic" come* .up.
The sideboard drawers have been
swallowing up all kinds of articles,
ever since spring cleaning. The prob-
lem now is where to dispose of all
these articles . . . none with value, but
all kept for some remote purpose, long
forgotten,
There's a clipping from the Family
Herald about hoW to get rid of worms
jn sheep and several wedding notices
clipped from the 'local paper. There's
an old watch-chain that uncle Tim
gave Patricia Ann to play with, Of
course it's tarnished and of no pos-
sible use but the little girl guards it
as jealously as a man would a twenty
dollar gold piece. Then there are
pictures that our former hired man
sent ,tis from Vancouver when he was
in training there and the photographs
of some girl that my coitsin Peter
'met in Edinburgh.
The hired man also left a bundle of
old letters containing correspondence
over a breach-of-promise suit he once
became involved in. He said he was
keeping the letters just in case any-,
body started anything again.. He went
off to the -army and left them with -us
and we sort of hate to destroy them,
There are keys in abundance . . . keys
to the pump house and extra keys to
the car and keys from locks that have
long been, out of use and a couple of
old broken padlocks and the alarm
clock that doesn't work. For two years
we have been thinking about getting
it fixed up but so far no one has done
anything about it,
There are and
,clipped from
newspapers and a full \length story
from a weekly .paper and the. Christian
'edition of the local paper which we
never did finish reading, There 4 are
little Victory Loan pips and advertis-
ing circulars and several War Savings
Certificates that should be put away in
a safe place. A little jelly jar holds
a collection of stones gathered op one
Sunday by Patricia Ann at the lake
shore. Mrs. Phil has some odd pen-
nies in' a cold cream jar. There's 'part
of a ball of red yarn and about twenty
five feet of binder twine and a holly
wreath that looks a little dejected.
As this is the time of the year when
tomatoes are inexpensive and plentiful
you should be using them daily to
provide yciur family's supply of vita-
min C and replace the scarce orange.
To obtain the maximum vitamin C
from tomatoes they must be handled
with care. Do not leave them exposed
to air, for any length of time after
they have been cut. :When cooking
tomatoes do not over-cook and serve
immediately they are finished cooking,'
Because of the great loss of vitamin
C during cooking we shoUld use to-
matoes raw as, much as possible.
There are several methods of prepar-
ation besides the conventional method
of slicing raw tomatoes. As an ap-
petizer, you may serve fresh tomato
cocktail made by serving fully ripe
fruit and adding the desired flavoring.
If the tomatoes are to be used in the
main 'course, you will find 'either stuf-
fed raw • tomatoes or stuffed baked
tomatoes both different and delicious,
Using firm medium size tomatoes
scoop out part of the pulp and re-
place with a combination of shredded
cabbage, carrot, and, raw beet mixed
with salad dressing. Or 'you could fill
the tomato with cottage cheese, chop-
ped cooked meat and celery or potato.
salad.
StUffed baked tomatoes provides
you with a great variety of dishes
depending on your choice of stuffings..
Stuffed Tomatoes
1 cup diced bologna
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. bread crumbs
1 cup cooked corn
Pepper
1 tbsp, butter..
Combine these and add to 6 large
tomatoes after you have removed the
pulp, Bake in a moderate oven at
350° F. for 15,20 minutes.
In addition to this recipe the to-
matoes May be filled with 'bread or
potato dressing; macaroni and cheese;
chicken, fish or cheese dressings; or a.
stuffing composed of minced vege-
tables and left over meats,

MEMO TO SANTA CLAUS
Hello Homemakers! November 1st
is the last day for mailing overseas
Christmas boxes, but we suggest send-
ing the "long-distance" gifts this week.
Christmas is one occasion when we
like to give special yet useful gifts.
It brings back . memories of home
festivities, and it impresses upon us
the standard of life our men are fight-
ing for.
We have talked with some of the
men who have been in those distant
theatres of war, and pass along their
suggestions.
1. If you are uncertain as to the
new address of a man or woman in
the fighting services, use the last
known address overseas. Boxes which
are properly addressed are reaching
the men and women on the war fronts
in record time.
2, Homemade cookies and cakes are
not edible when they reach the Medi-
terrean area. We suggest that you
send food only if you are able to find
vacuum canned products.
3. Send gifts the boys will appreci-
ate. For instance, a recent photo in
a waterproof folder, a pocket-size
book, a new song book, toilet articles
and underclothing are always welcom-
ed. Then, of course, men and nurses
in hot climates are glad to get lotions
for hunburn, insect bites and tired feet
—but nothing must be sent in glass
containers.
4. Eleven pounds is the limit for
a box going to any member of the
Allied Forces overseas, with the ex-
ception of the Americans, and the
postage is 12 cents per pound. t Parc-
els weighing 20 pounds may be sent
to the C.A.S.F. on duty in the West
Indies or Newfoundland, the rate being
12 cents a pound. Eleven pound boxes
to Allied Forces stationed in Canada
may be mailed for 12 ecnts per pound.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs, 1G. G. asks: How should we
store green tomatoes to ripen — also
list ingredients for green pickle.
Answer: Each green tomato should
be wrapped in newspaper and placed
in a closed box. Another method is
to pull the vine before any signs of
frost injury and suspend the entire
vine from ceiling of cool storage room.
