We had same down in Ledyard today and little dandelions, cooked with lean, sweet, pig pork. 1 ‘asled Mrs. R- how ‘she made the bolagna. She said that she had two fat old hens that tormented her— they, wanted to set and eat only. Af- ter “boiling them tender, with three la¥ge slices lean salt pork, she took some cold calves liver and put it all through the meat cutter; stitched a salt bag twice through the center, cut in two lengthwise, put in boiling water a few minutes, then wrung out, filled her meat in bags, closed top and put them in large-top, two-quart jars— glass; bad the jars hot and clean and sealed them. Two parts fowl, one part calves’ liver—no other kind will do— salt. pepper, a tiny dust of sifted sage. The bags being small could be used in one day It can be varied by putting celery salt in, or on. Sometimes she used onion salt; said she always kept three or four bags on hand in cold weather, and by using the vegetable slicer and keeping a few nice potatoes up stairs, all washed ahead, and a six quart pail of flour sifted, and her kindlings bas- ket ever full, she is ready for company any time. How many foom another. things one can learn i I had a short call from Grace and Aunty No. 1 yesterday. It may be all my fancy, but somehow the Corner Sisters seem to be just like our own family.

We want some of the bright lights of our sex, but are willing “he” should be the head in most cases. Well, 1 will ring off. Yantic, L oL OLD-FASHIONED DRIED-APPLE PIE. .

Editor of the Social -Corner: T see that Patience challenges me with an unanswerable question so far as she has been able to inquire of gardeners for information—that is “What is good to prevent mildew in phlox. Care is the principal thing to prevent it. I must confess I do not prevent it. My phlox is more or less neglected, and vet I get fine racemes of flowers. Perennial phlox grows so close that it shuts out the sun and is more sub- ject to mildew than most any other out of door plant. Keep the earth stirred up beneath the phlox-and stir into it a liberal supply of the flour of sulphur. I think this will be found to be a good remedy. Professional gardeners and some am- atéurs have the same feeling about giving away the little secrets of suc- cess in gardening that housewives do about revealing their special way of doing up little dainties for company at this time of the year. I enjoy helping those who take an interest in flowers, and feel free fo tell them what little 1 know about plants.. I make no profes- sion of being an expert. It has been a pleasure to me to help the flower fanciers of this department T have come to believe that Good-Heart lives in the gardens of the world. JOSEPH DOE. WHOLE WHEAT RECIPES. Editor Social Corner: Some one of the Social Corner family recently ask- ed for some whole wheat recipes, and it gives me pleasure to send in a few. Whole Wheat Bread—Five cups whole wheat flour, two cups warm water,.one cake compressed yeast, two tablespoons molasses, one-half teaspoon salt, little shortening if desired. As the flour is added it should be beaten well; stir with a spoon until stiff enough to knead; work it well: let rise; work down; make into loaves. When very light bake 40 or 45 minutes. Whole Wheat Geme—Thres cups of flour, two heaping teaspoons of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt, one large teaspoon of lard. Rub the lard thoroughly into the flour. Add enough water to make a very stiff batter. An egg well beaten Is a great improve- ment. Pulverize the baking powder and stir it in last. Bake in gem pans from 30 to 45 minutes. Whole Wheat Puffs—Put the yolk of an egg into a basin and beat tho white in a separate * dish to a stiff froth, Add to the yolk one-half cup of rather thin cream and one cup of skim milk and one-half teaspoon of salt. Beat the egg, cream and milk together unti] thoroughly mingled and foaming with air bubbles, then add gradually, beating well at the same time, one pint of wheat flour. Continue the beating continueusly (without interruption) for elght or ten minutes, Then stir in lizhtly the white of thc egg, and turn at once into heated shallow irons and bake for half an hour in a moderately quick oven. cream, one-quarter cup of sugar, one saltspoon of salt, two cups whole wheat flour. Mix in the order given Take out on the board and knead un- til stiff enough to roll out thin as wafer, using more flour if necessary Cut with a biscuit cutter and bake on ungreased tins in a very hot oven. The sugar will sweeten the sour cream sufficiently. Verv good for children and people with weak digestion. Hope the inquiring sisters will try them and report. HANNAH WHO. ‘Willimantle.

He dressed it and I soaked it-- first in saleratus water and then in salt and water—and put it in a kettle with about three quarts of salted water and let it boil until it began to grow ten- der, then added some sliced potatoes T thickened the soup a little just before T took it from the stove.

It was during the Zafra, or harvest season, which extends from December to May, that a small army of tourists might have heen geen in the central station, of the Hayana Central rail- road. They were talking all at once and seemed in a joyous holiday mood. Two elderly ladies with sweet faces were frequently addressed as “Grand- ma” and “Great Grandma.” Among the crowd was a man with a strong, forceful face, clad in immac- ulate white flannels. He addressed the tourists as “Sisters” and “Aunts” and was heard to call a charming young lady “Little Buditercup.” It was no small wonder, then, that a youngster edged up to him and inquired in awe- struck tones if he were “the Captain of the Pinafore.” The question elicited such a peal of laughter from the tourists that the lad fled in dismay, before the Editor (for such was his profession) could assure him that the matrimonial sea was the only sea of which he was the cap- tain. The special electric expre: train for the Providencia Sugar Mill was called; and the tourists left the sta- tion, followed by a reporter who was resolved to find out who these strange Americans were who addressed a tall dignified man as “Old Sol,” an up-to- date woman as “Antique,” a well bred looking woman as “Butt-In,” a young lady who was perspiring from the heat as “Frozen,” a decided blonde as “Black Beauty,” and a genial young man in a white linen Norfolk suit as “Papa’s Boy.” One of the tourists whom they called “Always-In” dropped her umbrella at this moment and broke the Dresden china handle. A young man sprang to pick it up, and as he handed it to her he smilingly remarked, “it seems You are not always in Iways-In") but_sometimes out..” “Not necessarily “Q. E. D,” she re- plied gaily, “some of Hetty Mar china cement will make my umbrella handle as good as new,” This conversation only seemed to in- | crease the reporter's cu beats all my former exp murmured. The next minute startled by a sweet girlish voice ca ing, “Sympathy, Sympathy ?” ‘As no one volunteered any informa- tion, the reporter murmured, “I will meet these remarkable people on their own ground.” Stepping up to the car window where the young girl was, raised his hat and said: “Pardon me, but you will find pathy in the refly” ore, page 8. The head was quickly withdrawn and a peal of girlish laughter floated out through the window. At about the same time a_ bright, cheery woman stepped out of the crowd, saying “Here I am i I stopped speak to a “Stranger at the Gat who had a big bow of yellow ribbhon pinned on her shirtwaist.” and do you | know “Sympathy” could not under- stand why she was greeted with shouts of laughter when she entered the The train started and Havana soon left in the distance. The scen- ery from the car window was novel and interesting. Thousands of royal palms were scen, some of which marked the approach to country homes of rich planters. Dimly concealed ‘midst rich tropical foliage, could be seen little clusters of whitewashed huts and roofs thatched with palm leaves One of the tourists seemed greatly interested in the native flora of the country and the wild luxuriant fores He was addressed as “Joseph Doe” by | one of the party, who had evidently visited Cuba before.
