The following recipe for canning toma¬ 
toes is sent out by the Kureau of Markets 
of the New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture: Separate the firm ones from 
the soft ones. Scald in boiling water from 
one to two minutes, or until skins are 
loose. Thou put tomatoes in cold water. 
Remove the skins and pack the nice, firm 
tomatoes in the jar whole. Cook the soft 
and large tomatoes to a pulp, put them 
through a sieve and pour the hot pulp 
over the whole tomatoes. Add a teaspoon 
of salt to a quart. Place the rubber and 
the top, partly seal, and cook 12 minutes 
in boiling water; 10 minutes in the 
water-seal eftnner. 
WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
When I Am Dead 
When I am dead, forget me. dear. 
For T shall never know. 
Though o’er my cold and lifeless 
Your burning tears should flow 
I'll cancel with my living voice 
The debt you’ll owe the dead— 
Give me the love you’d show me tin 
But give it now instead. 
And bring no wreaths to deck my 
For I shall never care. 
Though all the flowers I loved the 
Should glow and wither there. 
I’ll sell my chance of all the flowi 
You’ll lavish when I’m dead 
For one small bunch of violets now 
Give that to me instead. 
Pickled Corn 
On page 973 I notice a recipe for salt¬ 
ing corn which is not very definite, and 
which suggests adding water in order to 
make enough brine. This is absolutely 
wrong: water will spoil it. Mother has 
pickled corn all her life, and here is her 
tested recipe: 
Select sugar corn that is tender (better 
What saints we are when we are gone 
But what’s the use to me 
Of praises written on my tomb 
For other eyes to see? 
One little simple void of praise 
By lips we worship said. 
Is worth a hundred epitaphs— 
Dear,—say it now instead. 
And faults that now are hard to bear 
Oblivion then shall win; 
Our sins are soon forgiven us 
When we no more can sin. 
But any bitter thought of me— 
Keep it, for when I’m dead— 
I shall not know. I shall not care. 
Forgive me now instead.

The Rural Patterns 
In ordering always give number of pattern 
and size desired, sending price with order 
An old chest of drawers on castors, or 
a small bureau, painted white, is often a 
convenience in the kitchen if space per¬ 
mits. It is just the place to keep clean 
towels, oven cloths and kitchen aprons. 
Of course, the ideal kitchen has built-in 
drawers beneath a dish closet. 
The United States Department of Ag¬ 
riculture has recently issued a circular on 
“The Whipping Quality of Cream. " It 
does not go into the subject from the 
housekeeper’s point of view, and contains 
no recipes for the use of cream, but it 
will be of interest to the dairyman with 
a market for cream. According to experi¬ 
ments made, raw cream excels pasteurized 
or homogenized cream in whipping qual¬ 
ity. Pasteurization is slightly detrimental 
to whipping quality, especially in the case 
of cream with less than 23 per cent but- 
terfat. Homogenization is very detri¬ 
mental to whipping quality, and homogen¬ 
izing and pasteurizing together prac¬ 
tically destroy the value of cream for 
whipping. Cream improves with age for 
whipping purposes, and nearly the maxi¬ 
mum whip is obtained when 72 hours old. 
Dairymen with a local trade sometimes 
have complaints from patrons that their 
cream does not whip well, when the 
trouble largely results from the cream 
being too new.

Columbia University has had on ex¬ 
hibition recently a two-foot shelf of books 
for children, modeled to some extent upon 
I)r. Eliot’s famous five-foot shelf for 
adults. The books were selected by the 
American Library Association and the 
National Education Association as the 
best kind of library for the American 
country school child. Louisa M. Alcott s 
“Little Women” was given first rank, 
with the following stories in the order 
named : 
Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.” 
Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe.” 
Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer.” 
Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure 
Island.” ^ A1 , 
Nioolay’s “Boy’s Life of Abraham Lin¬ 
coln." 
“iEsop’s Fables.” 
Stevenson’s “A Child’s Garden of 
Verses.”

Hood.”

Roosevelt.” 
Hawthorne’s Wonder Book. 
Seton’s “Wild Animals I Have Known." 
“Arabian Nights.” 
This list is not beyond the means of 
the average home, where books are bought 
from time to time, and the educational 
value of such a library is very great.

ment and charm of real country living

cAn order came the other day from the Island of Jamaica for

That is what one reader calls it—and he has sent five separate 
copies to people who need to know more of the human side of 
farm life. It is one of the best evidences of Good House¬ 
keeping to have this book on your table. Is it in your house?
