V TME MIXING HOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro'Homo Economist JAM JARS ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE HEAL'T`H ,,•..,.0...#.r., and add an equal quantity of sugar. Simmer one hour and pour into ster- ilized containers. Seal at once. Hello Homemakers) Now is the time when those who have fruit in their gardens or who buy it in large quantities will be thinking about con- serving it by making it into jam. You can make use of the fully ripened fruit and put your jam into odd jars without tops since you will be using the inexpensive method of covering with melted wax. To prepare the fruit, just pick the fruit over, then wash it. Weigh the sugar. To draw the juice out of the berries, cover them with the sugar and allow to stand overnight. When heated in this syrup-juiee mixture until a syrup is formed and'the berr- ies ares hot through, they absorb the syrup and tend to `plump up." That is what you want. Then leave your berries in the syrup to cool -- to help this process. The mass can then be cooked or slowly concentrated in an electric oven set at a temperature of 250 degrees to 275 degrees. A quick method of making jam is the following: Prepare fruit, weigh, then crush with a wooden potato masher. Blueberries and hard berries may be rum through the food chopper. A short cooking with the addition of a small quantity of water before the sugar is added — helps extract the pectin from the fruit. Add sugar (% lb. to 1 lb. fruit, or subsitute 3 cups light corn syrup for two of the taps of sugar), stirring into the boiling mixture and cooking until a good jelly test is obtained. If the fruit does not contain •pectin • or acid, either may be added as in jelly or preserves. Comsn rcial pectin d'ireetions are easy to follow and this method' saves both time and Dost of fuel.

Answer: Honey has the tendency toy take out the colour in these fruits and make them slightly tart. Etc- periments prove that most people pre- fer to sustitute 1 cup honey for 1 cup• of every four cups of sugar required, Mrs. S. 11x. asks: "What will re. move sticky fly paper front a rug?"

B. says: "Jelly which was made from juice that had been divided and put into two kettles, turned cloudy from the liquid made of the first batch. Answer: Cloudiness may be due to having cooked fruit too long before straining off the juice, and the light particles of the skin would be floating in the liquid made from the top liquid: Stir liquid constantly while making jelly on your electric range.

Close-ups pay divideands inflower ophotography, as thls fine snapshot conclusively proves. • EVERYONE likes flowers, and every flower will make a lik- able snapshot, Remember thatand you won't lack for picture subjects from now until late fall arrives again: But at the same time here's something ` to . remember: Flower photography,, although it is a very satisfying and pleasant hobby, re- quires patience and a good deal of practice. You've got to experiment if you expect to excel iii your work. But, believe me, it's worth it. Here are a few tips that may help you along the way. First, Make' your snapshots aloe - ups just like our illustration. Work as near to the subject as your camera permits, and if that doesn't bring You within two or three feet, slip a portrait attachment over the lens so that you'll• get a bigger image on your negative, or plan to "crop" the picture during enlarge- ment. • - Then try to isolate your subject. Don't let confusing background de- tails distract the eye. A perfect background for almost any flower is the sky but a big sheet of gray cardboard held behind the blossom will make a line substitute if you can't get a low enough camera. angle to use the sky as a backdrop. Next, watch the light. The most favorable illumination for flower.. pictures is the early morning or late afternoon sun. You then get nice sidelighting which adds depth and form to your subject. Back- lighting, - too, is sometimes highly effective. But in either case you'll' get better quality snapshots if you use a simple reflector such as a piece of white cardboard, to. brighten the shadow portions of your subject. And use a filter to darken skies, step up contrasts, and give the closest possible rendering of color, values in the black -and -white print. Panchromatic flim, incidentally, is best for this kind of work. Finally, do your• picture making on calm days when the wind won't, shake the flower, or in the morning: before the wind begins to blow, and you'll find that you'll have fewer technical problems to contend with: and you'll achieve better results. 387 John van Guilder
