It will require trona four to six pounds of seed to plant an acre. Summer squashes grow mostly in compact bush forms. The hills should be at least eight feet apart in rows drawn eight feet distant. The rows are thrown out with a broad, heavy, single shovel Plow drawn the long way of the plot and as deeply as possible. Where it is intend- ed to have a hill, a good shovelful of -weliecomposed barnyard manure should be dropped into the furrow, and, and a light harrow drawn length- wise, which will mix the ingredients with fine soil and forms a hill well fertilized, and which will stimulate rapid growth of the plant.

With eugar constantly Increasing in price, ette cannot afford many experi- ments in jelly -making this season, It, Is better to go about the business of making jelly with some clear Idetle that will make success more certain, There is nothing more attractive in appearance nor more eatistying in taste than a dish of home-made jelly which Is clear, which keeps its shape while being "quivery." OA the other hand, ropy, thick or tough jelly anneals to no one. Neither is it plea- sant to set your teeth on edge with crystals in jelly. To get jelly of the right consistency and free from crys- tals is the Problem not only of the young housewife, but also of the ria - tare ono, Two questions otten asked 'of the Demotic Science exberte are, "What makes crystels form in ran jelly?" and 'Why doesn't my jelly harden?" It ifi almost impossible to answer these questions individually because one does not know just how the jelly ia question was made, but there are emu) general flotations that are worth trying. causEs OF CRYSTALLIZATION. In reply to the first question, abonn the crystallization, there are two points to consider, There may be too much sugar in proportion to the Juice, or the jelly May have been boil- ed too hard. Some fruits have more! sugar then others, currents for in -1 stance have four or five times as much sugar as the peach. Yet to the taste, peaches seem much sweeter than currants. Grapes have the most sugar of any of the fruits and grape jelly is more apt to nave crystals form than other fruits. Another facns tor that comes Into jelly -making is the weather. In hot, dry eeasons with plenty of sunshine, t'he fruits, particularly berries, have more sugar{ than usual and this should be takent into account when pleasuring the fruit juice and sugar. The usual rule is pint for pint, or cup for cup. And •antat rule should be followed this year because.. :we are haying a cold, wet . season, without a great deal of sun- shine. If, on the other head, we Tiadi had little rain, plenty of hot weather, it would be better to use less ,sugar, I. e., to each pint of juice add a good, three-quarters pint of sugar. Some- times too rapid boiling causes the particles of jelly to be thrown up on, the sides of the kettle where crystals. are formed and then either pushed' down into the kettle or fall down, and4 these crystals later will start others! to form. To avoid crystals measure the sugar carefully and take care to have the jelly boil slowly.

The use of high power powder in. rifles has given rise to a phenomenon: which did not exist in black powder days. This is known as "whip" anda Is due to the pressure and vibration set; up by the powder. It is constant with given loads and is always in the same/ direction. Sights are aligned by the manufac- turer to compensate for this whip in' proportion to the powder charge used. In fii-ing auxiliary cartridges it will ofai ten be found that the rifle shoots off' centre. As a matter of fact the butte from the auxiliary is traveling in at true line with the bore, and it is the sights that are Wrong. The lighter charge of the auxiliary does not pro- duce the usual whip, with the resultn l that the line ni prolongation of the i bore of the rifle aong with the butte taavels is not the line given by th alignment of the sights. Two other rifle terms that must not be confused are upsettage,and keyhole Mg. Keyholink is the tendency of tie bullet to turn over in flight, while lien settage is the slight shortening ,of the major axis of the bullet due to th torce of the charge. It was peouliar t black powder fired 'behind lead bulletta, and does not exist to any appreciablni extent in metal jacketed bullets withl smakeless powder.

The jelly glasses should be sterilized, dried and kept hot to avoid torment and mould later. AS TO CLARITY. If you have a sunny window in your kitchen, it is a good plan to set the Masses in it for a day, covering them with a pane of glass, or wax paper, and then pouring paraffine over them. The paraffine may be handled easily by putting it in a small coffee pot or teapot, which ratty be bought at five or ten cents, and m,elting it in this over a low flame, or heat, and then miring a thin, coating aver each glass being metal to entirely cover the jelly. By using the juice that drains out without squeezing the jelly bag, yote will have a clear jelly. If you wish this extra transparent use a flannel bag to drain the juice. After the find juice has been used the jelly bag man be squeezed and that juice used to make jelly that will not clear, but will taste just as good. Or if this is not de- sirable the fruit in the jelly bag may be turned into a sieve and the pulp rubbed through to be used in making marmalade. But wieere there are chil- dren in the family jelly that is not clear will not receive harsh el -Mesita. • -• Why jelly (bees not harden requires • differente-exPlanatione • • The fruit may be overripe, it may have been boiled too long, the trait may not eel the right Mud or too much may be nailed at a time. There Is a subi stance in all fruits, when ripe or nearly ripe, that is called pectin.% which is a carbonhydrate some- thing quite similar to starch in its; Properties, and it is this pectin that! enables us to make jelly. Equal quan- tities of fruit juice and sugar heated to the boiling point for a few minutes.. brings about a chemical change which.% causes the pectin, in the fruit to gela-1 tine the mixture and jelly is the re- sult. Pectin, pectose, pectase all comet from the Greek word, meaning to co- agulate or curdle.' Through certain changes the pectic acid` is made to! form a jelly mass instead of curdling, things. Pectose and pectase are anl ways in unripe fruit. Pectose is supposed to form the! bulk of vegetable jelly the elemental; qualities of which May be equal to then starches. Pectase is a sunstanee pre-, sent en the juices of plants. As fruits. ripen the pectase acts' on the pectose which cannot be dissolved and chang- es it so that it can be dissolved,. changing the pectose Into pectin. Now. the important point for the jelly-. maker to remember is that this pectiue is alwaye at its best just when the fruit is ripe or a little before. If the: fruit is over ripe, if it beginto fer- ment a bit, if the jelly is cooked tool long then the pectin undergoes a. change and loses its power to gelatine and the jelly does not harden. Chem* fruft that is just ripe or a little green and you will have better success than wih the overripe *ult. WHEN PECTIN IS NEEDED. , The amount of pectin changes in the different fruits just as sugar does. In the strawberry, for instance, the quan- tity of the jelly -making pectin is so small that it is difficult to make Jelly from strawberries. Apples or currants may be added to make a jelly in which some of the flavor of the strawberries may be obtained. Indeed, I ' have al- ways found that to get good results with peaches it is better to add apples or grapes. The peach is often given in jelly -making lists, but I would advise new jellyenialters to let the peach The Battle of a 'Week. -The battle of a Week was the great conflict at Tours in which Charles Martel overthrew the Saraeene, A.

Of all the queer and unpleasant truths dragged into the light of day by way fo the doek none is mere prising than this: That, leo matter how great a blackguard a man may be, he can always, and with ease, find women to believe in him. Indeed, it would almost seem that, the greater the scoundrel, the MQ:70 WOInell gala he get to trust him, Can any blackguard getea wife? Is there something about really bad men that appeals in some subtle way to women? Judging by the evidence given in the murder trials of the' past few y,ears, there is no limit to the number either of gullible women or women who are willing to tante Min riskwhere marriage le concerned. - For instance, a few yore ago Whin zoff, a Russian Jew, was convicted of bigamy, This choice specimen found, In a comparatively short dance at time, no fewer than six women willing' to marry him, each of whota ie de- serted atter he had posseresed hinesdif of her money! Then, to take another outstanding example, there was George Chapman, who was executed in n'Ing land, This brute had no difficulty In getting three girls to rearrn him„egcle of whom was, in her turn, foully done to death. "How," people will say, "is a. girl to know that a man such as this is a criminal in disguise?" In that case, what becomes of the wonderful "feminine intution" abdat which we have always heard so mueli? Is it a myth? It is not ameessary to search the calendar for proof of these state - melds.
