From Day to Day 
Tears, Idle Tears 
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they 
mean. 
Tears from the depth of some divine 
despair 
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes, 
In looking on the happy Autumn fields. 
And thinking of the days that are no more. 
Fresh as the first beam of a glittering sail. 
That brings our friends up from the 
underworld; 
Sad as the last which reddens over one 
That sinks with all we love below the 
verge; 
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more. 
Ah. sad and strange as iu dark Summer 
dawns. 
The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds 
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes 
The casement slowly grows a glimmering 
square ; 
So sad. so strange, the days that are no 
more. 
Dear as remembered kisses after death. 
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy 
feign’d 
On lips that are for others: deep as love, 
Deep as first love and wild with all regret; 
O Death is Life, the days that are no 
more. —tennyson.

We must again advise readers that we 
do not give instructions for making wine. 
A surprising number of correspondents 
write without signing their names, asking 
us to give wine recipes in the paper. This 
we always declined to do, even before the 
prohibition law went into effect, and un¬ 
der the existing law it is clearly contrary 
to public morality to give such informa¬ 
tion in any way.

Several readers have asked us where 
they can procure some of the small bulbs 
recently mentioned by “Mother Bee.’’ such 
as Seillas and Chionodoxas. The present 
quarantine put in operation by the Fed¬ 
eral Horticultural Board shuts out many 
bulbs that were formerly plentiful and 
cheap, and garden lovers must be content 
to do without them until, some time in 
the future. American growers are able to 
grow them in marketable quality and 
quantity. 
Farmers’ Bulletin Go”, “Honey and 
Its Uses in the Home.” is issued by the 
United States Department of Agriculture 
at Washington, whence it may be ob¬ 
tained on request. It contains a great 
many recipes calling for the use of honey, 
and any farm household where bees are 
kept will find it helpful in extending the 
demand for honey. Since cane sugar started 
down the toboggan slide purchasers will 
not be likely to buy honey as a sugar 
substitute, but for its own special vir¬ 
tues, and we think honey raisers should 
try to encourage the use of their product 
by pointing out its distinctive virtues in 
delicious cookery. Of course every farm 
family where honey is produced should 
use it freely themselves.

The Ontario, Canada, Department of 
Agriculture has issued a bulletin on 
“Community Halls,” which includes sev¬ 
eral plans for such halls at different esti¬ 
mated costs. The Canadian Government 
assists rural communities to build such 
halls, or athletic fields, giving a grant 
amounting to 25 per cent of the cost, no 
grant exceeding $2,000. There are, with¬ 
out doubt, many farm communities where 
the building of a community hall and 
athletic field would have a powerful in¬ 
fluence in rendering young people more 
content with farm conditions.

recipe for India 
MBS. II. R. 
Will 
relish? 
The following recipe for India relish is 
given in “Marion Harlaud's Cook Book”: 
One pint of young string beans, cut into 
inch length*: one pint of very small cu¬ 
cumbers (an inch long), each cut into 
three pieces: three sliced cucumbers, one 
pint of button onions, peeled, four long 
red peppers, cut small; one cup of green 
nasturtium seed, one medium-sized cauli¬ 
flower, cut into small clusters. Put all 
these ingredients into a stone crock in 
layers thickly strewn with salt, the up¬ 
permost layer being salt. Cover with cold 
water, put a plate on top. weighted with a 
stone to keep the vegetables from floating, 
and leave in the cellar for three days. 
Drain off the brine, rinse with cold water 
by putting the vegetables in colander and 
holding under the faucet, return to the 
crock, cover with cold fresh water, and 
leave for 24 hours.

Canning Peppers 
Mrs. S. II. L. asks for a recipe for can¬ 
ning peppers. I have used one for four or 
five years with excellent, success: One 
cup brown sugar, two cups vinegar, one 
cup water. Take tops off the peppers and 
seeds out. boil until tender in salt water, 
pack in jars and pour the hot liquid over 
and seal. I can beets in this way, too, as 
well as green and red peppers, for all you 
have to do is drain the liquid off and wash 
the beets, and they taste like fresh ones.

The range that bakes a barrel of flour 
with one hod of coal. 
This is the range used by busy women 
who have many things to do beside pre¬

easily and without fuss, that 
they can cut their kitchen
