In the Time of Quinces. 
Quinces have a refreshing and appe¬ 
tizing flavor, very unlike that of any 
other fruit. There is no fruit more 
popular for preserving purposes, but 
there seems to be a very general opin¬ 
ion that they cannot be used in any 
other fashions. Fine as they are for 
making of jelly, marmalade and pre¬ 
serves, if when thoroughly ripe, they 
are cooked in much the same manner 
as the pear, they will be found to pos¬ 
sess qualities that make them superior 
to many of the popular dessert fruits. 
If quinces are put into syrup to cook 
they become hard instead of soft. If 
put directly into boiling water they are 
less tender than when started to cook 
in cold water. If kept covered while 
cooking they are a much finer color. 
To bake the quinces, pare, halve and 
core the fruit, place in a baking dish, 
fill to half their depth with water, 
cover closely and bake 30 minutes in a 
moderate oven. Remove the cover, fill 
the cavities with sugar, put a bit of but¬ 
ter on each piece and bake uncovered 
until tender, basting often. Serve 
either warm or cold with sweetened 
whipped cream. 
To make a quince compote pare, quar¬ 
ter and core the fruit and let them lie 
in boiling water about five minutes. 
Drain and place in a stew-pan with a 
quarter of a pound of sugar to each 
pound of fruit, a bit of cinnamon and 
lemon juice and a little water. Let 
simmer till fruit is tender. Serve cold 
When baking apples fill the space 
made by removing the core with bits 
of quince, it will give a delicious flavor 
to the apples. 
If you wish a fine flavored apple 
sauce, slice a quince into cold water, al¬ 
low to slowly come to the boiling point 
and cook till tender. Remove the fruit, 
make a syrup of the juice, let it come 
to a boil, add the quartered apples and 
cook till tender, then add the quinces. 
May be served warm or cold. 
To can the quince, pare, quarter and 
core the fruit and drop into cold water. 
Cover the parings and cores, after re¬ 
moving the seeds, with cold water, sim¬ 
mer in a closely covered vessel until 
soft, and strain. Drain the fruit and 
weigh; for every pound of fruit allow 
three-fourths of a pound of sugar. 
Bring the liquid to a boil, add the fruit! 
cover and boil slowly till tender; skim 
out the fruit, add the sugar and some 
boiling water if necessary; when it boils 
add the fruit, simmer till tender and of 
a rich color; fill jars to overflowing, 
and seal. 
The quince is delicious as a preserve 
and nice to use with ice cream or to 
add to mincemeat when preserved as 
follows: Pare, core and cut into 
eighths. Cook slowly in a syrup made 
of one pint of sugar to two of fruit, 
with half pint of boiling water; when 
clear and transparent and the syrup is 
rich and heavy can in small jars. 
Quince honey is a delicacy that must 
be made in small quantities. Pare* and 
grate the quince. Three large quinces, 
grated, three pints sugar, and two pints 
water; place all in a vessel and boil 
from 20 to 30 minutes. The grated fruit 
should remain in small particles and the 
sugar and water form a jelly. Put in 
glasses and cover with paraffin. 
Quince jelly may be made from the 
juice obtained by boiling the parings un¬ 
til tender in enough water to cover 
them, but we think the following a 
much finer jelly: Allow three parts of 
quince juice to every one of apple juice 
and three-fourths of a pound of gran¬ 
ulated sugar to every pint of the mixed 
fruit juice. mrs. geo. sheppard. 
Good Neighbors in Tennessee. 
Perhaps other neighborhoods are as 
sociable as my own, but I have resided 
in places that were not. While our 
community is not exempt from selfish¬ 
ness, tattlers and so on, taken as a 
whole there is none better. In the first 
place, we. are rather old-fashioned and 
still believe in all-day visits, where we 
sew, knit, piece quilts, tack carpet rags, 
or do whatever is on hand. Apple par¬ 
ings, butter stirrings, molasses boilings 
and corn huskings are still in vogue. 
Such a merry clatter of tongues, such 
a noisy patter of feet, and at the wind¬ 
up of the corn huskings such an en¬ 
joyment of the feast! The lectures or 
operas may be more instructive, but as 
the little boy said, “I am sure they are 
no more filling.” Again, in sickness 
there is no worry about the work, for 
the men gather up and perform the out¬ 
side tasks, while the women with kindly^ 
hearts and willing hands do duty with¬ 
in. If the mother is seriously ill and 
the children noisy, some good mother 
takes them home to her own brood to 
give the desired quietness so often 
necessary to the complete recovery of 
the patient. If a long siege empties the 
larder, pies, cakes, fruits, or whatever 
is lacking, come from unknown sources. 
If death enters a home it is the 
gentle hands of loving friends that pre¬ 
pare the body for the tomb. While the 
members of the family are questioned 
as to their desires in the matter, every 
detail is carried out by the neighbors, 
from straightening out the limbs and 
closing the eyes to rounding up the sod. 
The house is never closed on the day 
of the funeral; two or three elderly 
persons stay back to straighten up the 
things and remove all traces, so far as 
possible, of the departed. It cheers the 
hearts to come back to the open, cheery 
house and sit down to a well-cooked, 
luncheon, prepared by kindly hands. 
Again, papers, pattern's, books, seeds, 
etc., are shared by the whole neighbor¬ 
hood. On butchering days messes of 
fresh pork are sent around, and when 
the next one kills they go again. 
Cider mills, molasses mills, etc., are 
public property for those who have none, 
but of course each one gives the owner 
a certain amount for the usage. In the 
matter of threshing, harvesting, etc., the 
men folks swap work as well as stories, 
while some of the nearest women help 
the hurried housewife prepare the 
victuals for the hungry clan. While 
machinery to a certain extent has done 
away with the need of so many hands, 
there is always a need of good neigh¬ 
bors. MRS. D. d. p. 
The most delicious graham bread is 
made as follows: Take a two-quart 
crock, put in one small cup of sugar, 
two teaspoonfuls soda and one tea¬ 
spoonful salt. Mix with enough gra¬ 
ham flour and sour whole milk or but¬ 
termilk to fill the crock with a dough 
just a little too stiff to pour. Bake 
one and one-half hours and you will 
have two loaves of bread that surpass 
pie, cake or cookies in palatableness and 
wholesomeness. c. D. H.
