MAKE
JAM WITH ME.
Years ago, when 1 made jams and
conserves, I followed Grandma's
pound -for -pound rule whieb was good
in the days before glass jars replaced
stone crocks, and sterilization was
not a matter of common practice. Now
I know that to preserve the fruit
flavor the amount of sugar should be
only from one-half to three-fourths
the weight of the fruit. In the case
of berries, three-fourths to one cup
of sugar to one quart fruit may he
used if the filled jars are sterilized
for five minutes. If containers do not
permit sterilization, use two-thirds as
much sugar as fruit, as the sugar be-
comes the preservative.
A. Pick over and wash the fruit. It
is usually best to pick over before
washing, for the reason that soft'
fruits take up water very rapidly.
Therefore the washing should be de-
layed until just before using and then
be done as rapidly as possible to avoid
taking up an excess of water.
B. Crush part of the fruit in the
kettle or saucepan. This will free
part of the juice and so tend to pre-
vent scorching.
C. Bring to the boiling point. This
should be done very slowly so that
scorching or burning may be avoided.
1). Bail as rapidly as possible until
the product is of the consistency de-
sired in the finished jam. Very rapid
boiling heips to prevent darkening of
the product.
E. Add the sugar. In doing this,
remove from the fire and stir in the
sugar. The sugar will turn to syrup
on contact with the fruit juice, and
this gives a rather liquid material.
F. Boil as rapidly as possible to
finished jam. The time necessary for
this cooking period depends on the
+
con;:istency desired, which is a matter
of individual taste. The majority of
users desire a product that will pile
up on the spoon, show little free
liquid and elide off the spoon in sheets
rather than in drops.
(The temperature varies from
about 22u to 22c degrees Fahrenheit.)
Cooked and strained apple pulp
may by added to other fruits to thin
out flavors of the more expensive
varieties The quality of the product
is not lessened and often it is helped
by such practice. Lase one-third cup
apple pulp to each quart of straw-
berries or raspberries, and one cup of
blueberries, blackberries or grapes.

PART II.
Three years now since Cullen went
away, and all fatty had heard of him
was in the meager letters brought
back on the crossroads trips.
Watching her advance, Joel pitied
her, knowing that in her heart she
fretted over her uncertain status.
The wistfulness with which aha
sought news of Callen was painful to
him, and this time he would have to
tell her there was no letter.
Leyes and
Patty was blond, with blue a
gentle ways and an air 0f delicaey
profoundly appealing to .him, It had
been a warm .day and she was flushed
with walking. Her face was softly
pink. Tiny - spirals of yellow hair,
moistened into flat rings, clung to her
forehead.
"`Thar wan't no letter," he stammer-
ed miserably as she seated herself.
Patty Jessup sighed.
"Nuthin'?"
""Nuthin :"
Maw spoke from the'doorway
above, a fresh wrapper of black with
a tiny `white dot drawn ,round her
lean form.
"How's yore paw, :Patty?"
Patty's slim hands twisted in her
lapPaw's porely," she- admitted. "He
wants ter see Joel. Hit's whut I
come fer—ter tell Joel Paw wants
him."
""I'll go 'long now," decided Joel,
rising. "Termorrer 'I aim ter finish
plowin' an' git the cotton seed in afore
the spring rains begin."
Together he and Patty Jessup went
down the road in the early. dusk. Be-
hind him he felt Maw' s disapproving
eyes upon his back
Maw certainly • was set against
Patty—she's been glad to separate
Patty and Cullen.
"Joel!" appealed Patty Jessup at
his side. "Do ye think Cullen's ever
comin' back'?"
"Now, Patty," stammered Joel,
aware of the pulse of tears in her
I voice.

A NEW PATTERN SERVICE.
'Nobody ever comes back to the
valley," declared Patty hopelessly.
"Now, Patty," he said again, inade-
quately.
They walked the rest of the way
silently, and he knew that Patty Jes-
sup was weeping softly. More than
he had ever wanted anything in the
rworld he wanted to take Patty Jes-
sup's helpless youth into his arms and
'soothe away her tears and her des-
pair. But that, of course, couldn't be.
Patty wanted Cullen; Patty and Maw
"were alike in that at least.
Perley Jessup wap proppei up in
bed against a chair, the sweat of
weakness collecting on his pallid fore-
head.
"The old man hain't long fer this
world, Joel!" he greeted. "An' I'm
worryin' erbout Patty. Reckon Cul
den's ever comin' back?"
Joel shifted uneasily.
"Dunne."
"Patty oughter be married," said
Perley Jessup then. "Wimmin folks
;oughter marry; hit's in the nature o'
things. An' Patty's past marryin'
age.
Joel sat silently waiting. A tallow
dip on a table beside the bed flared
in the close night air. From the un -
screened doorway a cloud of midges
blew in, circling the flame.
"Look!" pointed Perley Jessup, re-
garding the midges. "Hit's whut hap-
pens ter silly mounting boys whut go
ter the cities."
He sighed.
"Joel—whyn't you marry Patty?"
Joel gasped his surprise. "But Pat-
ty—wants Cullen."
"Patty don't know what she wants,"
disputed Perley Jessup tolerantly.
"But you bin wantin' Patty a long
time, Joel."
"Yes," muttered Joel, turning a
curious, ashy color. "I want Patty."
Satisfied, the sick man relaxed.
"Marry her, Joel. Cullen hain't
comin' back noways."

DRESSING FOR WORK.
After all, work is a pleasure if one
is dressed for it. We farm women
can really enjoy work if we have
clothes that are nice looking and are
also adapted for our owe particular
kind of jobs.
A number of things must be con-
sidered, Even hi the hottest Weather
we need not dread work if we are
rightly dressed.
First of all we must have plenty of
house dresses—the kind that launder
easily. And now is the appointed
time to be laying in a goodly supply.
Six common work dresses are not too
many.
The dress aprons answer every
need. They are easily made they are
If one has plenty of the dress aprons
—or apron dresses—a separate apron
need not be worn. This is an advan-
tage in several ways. It does save
laundry, it is canter and this style of
drese is trim looking and comfortable.
Gingham or a good grade of percale
may be used. Get the materials—have
different kinds of gingham for each
dress—and cut them all out in one
afternoon. One dress may easily be
made in an afternoon. I prefer the
two-piece type with the gathers at the
low waistline on each side.
One may vary the pattern and make
several clean-up dresses for afternoon
somewhat nearly the same if this is
desired.
I have found the one-piece chemises,
made of cotton crepe, practicable for
summer wear. They are easy to
make, require no ironing and arc nice
to wear..
I am quite partial to bloomers, eepe-
cially for everyday wear. Try wear-
ing them for work and you will never
go hack to petticoats. A week is long
enough to convince one that they are
specially good for the woman who
hurries in and outs --to the henhouse,
to the garden, upstairs, to the cellar.
One's movements are unhampered.
Sateen or a heavy crepe may be used
and they may be made in any color
desired.
The petticoats were always mere o
hes bedraggled nrmmrl the bottom
and thus harrier to wash, The bloom-
ers wash nut ctiri'y and esquire ea
!ronin(;,
Joel considered, his own eyes ape
the midges.
""Ef Cullen hain't back in a year
I'll marry Patty," he said at last.
"When—she's alone, she kin Live wits
us."
Patty came then, a shadow in gray
calico spotted with tiny pink roses.
"Tell Patty whut ye. tole me."
Stammering, Joel repeated his ober.
"Speak op, gal!" commanded Per -
ley J`ssup sternly.
"Ef Cullen hain't back in a year,
I'll marry Joel," promised Patty in a
whisper.
Perley Jessup closed his eyes with
a sigh of satisfaction.
Regarding Patty Jessup's slight
figure, it came to Joel with iranense
sign! ranee that perhaps a year from
now she would be his wife. Again
there was that all but uncontrollable
desire to take Patty Jessup in his
arias.
In the weeks that followed Perley's
death, it seemed to Joel, that the com-
ing of Patty 'Jessup under his own
roof had changed and brightened ,all
his life. There wase new purpose in
the drudgery of his barren days, a
new incentive for unremitting effort.
Some day Patty Jessup would be his
wife—already he regarded her posses-
sively.
Patty herself had changed toward
him. There was a flushed confusion
in her manner when they were to-
gether and a solitude for his welfare
entirely new to him.
"Yore laig, Joel," she would say
pityingly sometimes, when he limped
more than usual after a hard day in
the field, "does it hurt right smart
ternight?"
Instantly the.pain would be forgot-
ten and into Joel's blue eyes would
come a tenderness before which Patty
turned away breathlessly.
Sometimes the sight of Patty Jes-
sup moving about her homely tasks
would fairly take him by the throat.
His wife—in 'a few months. Did be,
after all want more out of life than
just that
And then, one day three months
later, Cullen came back.
Watching the springless wagon
turn in before the porch and Cullen
get •out Joel was aware of a sullen
resentment. Nobody, he told himself,
walking slowly up to the cabin, ever
came back to Bubbling Spring Valley.
It wasn't fair of Cullen to break the
rule. Patty Jessup had been almost
within his grasp. He'd—why, he'd
counted on marr in Patty Jessu
Marrying Patty had seemed the one
likely reward he would ever receive
for his years of toil
Cullen was garbed with an effect
approximating magnificence in their
eyes. He wore light-colored pants and
a dark coat, black, shiny, pointed
shoes and a red satin tie. His shirt
was silk, his hair cut in a fashion un-
familiar to the Valley. ..
"Howdy, Maw l" he greeted.
"Howdy, Joel! Why, here's Patty
Jessup l" -
"Her pap's dead," explained Joel.
"She's livin' hyar now."
Maw and Patty busied themselves
at the fireplace. Joel was aware of
work awaiting him in the field. But
this, he told himself rebelliously, was
surely an occasion upon which idle-
ness could be indulged.
Hitching a chair, close to Cullen, he
probed with pathetic eagerness for de-
tails of the unfamiliar world outside.
""Whut's it all like out thar, Cul-
len?" he insisted,
Cullen visibly struggled for words,
tormented by his inability to paint a
picture of utterly different conditions
in words which would be understood.
"It's—different," was the best he
could supply.
Then alertly:
"Ketch any fish in the. creek this
year, Joel?"
""Plenty."
A pause.
"Anybody find a bee tree?"
"Yep; we got nigh two buckets 0'
honey.,
Cullen inhaled deeply, looking out
through the door.
"Pine and cedar and spruce am

Presently from a bulging suitcase
Cullen brought forth gifts --a length
of black silk for Maw, a gay shirt for
Joel. Icor Patty, quite evidently pro-
duced as an afterthought, a box of
sweets.
But Patty was entirely pleased and
grateful.
"I never even seed anythin'like this,
before," she stammered, her blue eyes
adoring Cullen.
Cullen stirred restlessly.
"This hyar--•you call it silk?" ra-
peated Maw. "Hasn't nobuddy in the
Valley got a dress like this!"
Nor had anybody in the Valley a
shirt fine enough to be drawn through
a ring, reflected Joel. But that was
just it—the world was full of things
never to be seen in the Valley,
Outside it grew slowly dusk and
Joel closed the door, building up the
fire against the sharp chili of evening. and with an opening in front like a

"Cities!" snapped Cullen. "What

don't know hurrying you all the time;

""Did 'ye make out all right with
Uncle Keating?" interrupted Maw
peaceably,
"Tol'able," returned Cullen evasive-
ly. Joel Beck lunged to his feet, pull-
ed his coat collar high beneath his
ears and went out on the porch in the
sharp evening air to smoke.
Maw, kicking off her shoes, crawled
into a bed at the other end of the
room, ostentatiously turning her back
upon the two left before the fire.
After a perceptible interval, Cullen
jerked his chair alongside of Patty
Jessup, sliding a heavy arm around
her waist.

Waoted• --More Canadian
Organists,
A prosolneet Canadian newepapor a
few weeks ago carried an editorial
headed, "A Dearth of Organists." The
article was no doubt inspired by the
fact that a local church bad beer' ad-
vertising for an organist for Some
time—bet without results.
This brings up the point that there
Is really an urgent demand for organ-
ism In many places throughout Cense

writer recently noticed as many as
three "want -ads" all designed to catch
the eye of some hereon seeking the
Position of church organist. These
vacancies prevailed for some tliue ere
1 the supply of those who are capable of
' the positions were Allied, showing that
',handling an organ is pot equal to the
demend,
i Now, what is the solution? Well,
either Canada will have to turn out
more musicians with epeelel !earnings
towards the organ, or depend upon
imported organists from England and
other countries. But surely the form•
or Is preferable, There is much more
satisfaction to. be derived from train-
ing the youths and maidens of our
country to take up the study of the or-
gap, than to rely upon the services of
those who secure their education else-

tion In manufacturing goods in one's

It's more patriotic to'manufact'ure in
one's own country!
It is up to the music teachers in our
schools, colleges and conservatories to
explain to their pupils the needs of
the churches respecting organists. If
this were done, It is quite likely that
not only would there be a sufficient
number come forward to study• this

many more students would be found
to take up the study of some prepara-

Ants That Eat Forests.
There Is a large part of Northern
Australia where wooden houses never
last long, for if they are built they are
eaten. The whole of the woodwork le
chewed to pulp from inside by white
ants, and the house becomes a mere
shell, with walls no thicker than
paper. When a aterm comes it falls
flat.
Nothing short of sheet iron is safe
from these pests. Furniture, rafters,
floor boards, door posts—the ants eat
them ait. The white hut, which is not
really an ant at all, but a termite, le
the mese terrible of insect plagues.
It lives in hills the size of which
compared with the proportions of the
insect itself is simply staggering. Fif-
teen to eighteen feet is the average
height. But some tower to twenty-five
or even thirty feet) Could man build
on a proportionate scale, the houses
in Loudon would tower to the height
of Bon Nevis.
These hills are usually. Irregular
cones with odd little pinnacles. but
there is one sort of termite, called the
"meridional," which billies hilis blond
live dines as long as, they are wide.
The meet extraordinary point about
these strange dwellings Is that the op-
posite en'i puiha with perfect pre-
cision to tl:" in:Trio le Poles.
To -day there are hundreds of square
miles of country dente all aver with
these hills. Each !till marks the shots
where a tree once grew, a tree now
eaten away tops very roots, for the ter-
mite, not content with the destruction
it wer•Ics above ground, will burrow
sixty feet down into the earth in
search of moisture.
A Poem You Ought to Know.
e "Daybreak."
The critics refuse to give Iieuiy
Wadsworth Longfellow a place hi the
first rank of the world's posts, but it
the value of a poet wore to be reckon-
ed by tite pleasure he has given to the
largest number•, Longfellow's position
would be a very logit one indeed. For
one person who could recite a verso
from Tennyson, Browning, or Keats, a
hundred could quote from the author
of "Tile Village Blacksmith, "Ilia-
seethe,"
Ilia-seethe," and "Evangeline.' Here is a
poem which perhaps is not so fatniltar
as those named:—
A wind carne up out of the sea.
And said, "0 mists, make room for
me."
It hailed the ships and cried, "Sail on,
Ye mariners, the night is gone."
And hurried landward far away,
Crying, "Awaltcl it is the day."
It said unto the forest, "Shout!
Haug all your leafy barriers out!"
It touched the wood -bird's fouled wing,
And said, "0 bird, awake and sing,"
And o'er 1.110 farms, "0 chanticleer,
Your clarion blow; the day is tear.
It whispered to the fields of corn, ,
"'Bow down, and hall the coming
thorn,"
It shouted through the belfry -tower,
."Asealce, 0 bell! proclaim the hour!"
It crcaeed the churchyard with a sigh,
end wild, "Not yet! inquiet Ile."
Nothing is lost until you've loot
your courage:
