The Prayer of Busy Hands 
Dear God, Thou know’st how many tasks 
await my hands today ; 
If all are done at set of sun, no time is 
left to pray. 
Thou know’st how many duties press, 
how urgent is each need ; 
I may not dare a moment spare to fashion 
me a creed. 
Thou know’st the hungry must be fed, the 
naked clothed must be; 
My scant store wanes; no gift remains 
of sacrifice to Thee ; 
So if, when life is done, I come with no 
gift in my hand, 
No prayer nor creed—just this I’ll plead: 
Thou, God, dost understand.

The Ladies’ Home Journal.

How do your uncooked pickles keep in 
open jars? One of our readers writes 
that hers, put in spiced cold vinegar, mold 
on the top, and then those pickles nearest 
the surface become soft. IIow can this 
trouble be obviated? We always prefer 
to put pickles in sealed jars, which avoids 
waste, but many like to keep them in 
large crocks. Do uncooked pickles keep 
well, under these conditions?

Here is an old-fashioned recipe for 
quince spread, which is very delicious, 
especially for sandwiches. The rule calls 
for eight quinces and four Baldwin ap¬ 
ples. Peel and core quinces, cut in cubes, 
cover with boiling water, and cook till 
tender. Drain, saving the water in which 
they were cooked. Peel, core and quarter 
apples, cook till tender in the water in 
which quinces were cooked. Drain the 
apples and combine with quinces. Meas¬ 
ure liquid, and add an equal amount of 
sugar. Boil the syrup 10 minutes, pour 
it over the combined quince and apple, 
and simmer slowly one hour. Seal in 
jelly glasses. 
Sausage Making 
Bologna Sausage.—Use two parts of 
fresh beef and one part fresh fat pork. 
Grind very fine, then add salt, black pep¬ 
per. a small amount of ground coriander 
seed and a few drops of onion juice. Mix 
thoroughly, add a small quantity of po¬ 
tato flour and sufficient water to make 
the proper consistency. Stuff into beef 
casings, tie the ends together into rings 
of proper length, and smoke thoroughly. 
This accomplished, boil until the sausages 
rise to the top, when they are ready for 
use. 
Pork Sausage.—For making pork sau¬ 
sage the bits of lean cut off when trim¬ 
ming the pieces of meat, the tenderloins, 
and slices of lean trimmed from the hams 
and shoulders, together with some fat 
meat, are used. It should be washed 
nicely, cleared of bone and skin, then 
weigh. Spread out on a table so that the 
seasoning can be sprinkled on. To every 
10 lbs. of meat allow 2% oz. of salt and 
2-3 oz. of pepper. Mix the seasoning, 
then sprinkle on as evenly as possible, 
thereby reducing the amount of mixing 
necessary. Put into chopper and grind 
finely. Stuff the meat in hog casings and 
it is ready for use. 
Liver Sausage.—For every 5 lbs. of 
lean and fat pork use an equal quantity 
of ground rind and 2% lbs. of liver. Par¬ 
tially cook the pork and rind ; then grind 
very fine. Grind the raw liver fine and 
add to the pork and rind. Add the de¬ 
sired seasoning to taste and mix all thor¬ 
oughly. These sausages should be filled 
into large skins, leaving a quarter of the 
space for expansion. Boil about one hour, 
dry, then smoke four or five days.

Tennessee Notes 
After the frost and freeze that de¬ 
stroyed hundreds of dollars worth of to¬ 
bacco. we are having some beautiful Fall 
weather. Acorns and chestnuts are be¬ 
ginning to shatter down, and one can 
see the pretty striped ground squirrels 
busy with the hickorynuts, with now and 
then a venturesome^ gray squirrel frisk¬ 
ing away with one in his mouth, or sit¬ 
ting up with the nut held securely be¬ 
tween his forepaws, and gnawing away 
with his sharp white teeth. But how 
very still one has to be: if a leaf flut¬ 
ters down he is gone like a flash of 
lightning. And then the turkeys come 
swooping through and take their toll, so 
one has to be on the watch out to obtain 
very many chestnuts and hickorynuts. 
Yet even if I do not find a very great 
supply I enjoy the trip. Nature naints 
her pictures with a lavish hand; red. 
brown, gold and green, yellow, tinted, 
speckled, and spotted leaves are every¬ 
where. Engrave the beauties upon mind 
and heart, for the days are near when 
the hills will be bare, the trees stark 
naked, flowers a thing of the past. Even 
now the more musical birds have de¬ 
parted for a warmer climate, but after 
all Spring will come again for those of 
us who live to see its awakening. 
The past week has been one of rush, 
rush. Monday I peeled and cut four 
bushels of apples; Tuesday I cleaned the 
brass kettle, placed it on the furnace 
made of bricks and mortar to fit kettle, 
filled in six gallons of water, started a 
fire going, and washed the cut fruit and 
filled kettle which only holds 30 gallons. 
The remainder of apples were cooked on 
stove and added to those in kettle. The 
men folks kept the stirrer going, and 
I scalded crocks, churned, cooked beans 
and trotted back and forth to the ket¬ 
tle. When apples were all cooked smooth 
I added 35 lbs. of sugar, then two hours 
more cooking, and we took off 15 gal¬ 
lons of delicious apple butter. As I had

Wednesday a big washing, Thursday 
ironing, Friday to the county fair at 
Washington College. Such a display of 
our county’s products; one could not help 
but feel a bit puffed up. So many things 
to see. First the fancywork department, 
and in one corner so many pretty old 
home-woven coverlets, but no one to tell 
me the names of the different designs, 
though three of them were double cover¬ 
lets thick as leather. One such a nretty 
old rose pink, and one old lady said that 
shade was what they use to call “cut 
burr.” (Perhaps cudbear.) Two pairs 
of hand-knit cotton stockings 50 and 53 
years old were knitted in a fancy twist¬ 
ed lace stitch. A log cabin silk quilt 
with strips not *4-in. wide; a tulip quilt 
that had the blue ribbon, and I did not 
wonder. There was not an inch space 
that was not quilted, and though T ex¬ 
amined the quilting closely I failed to 
see a knot or one uneven stitch. 
Near by were the old, old curios; a 
brass wash pan 100 years old. a newter 
coffeepot 150 years old, a cucumber 
slieer 101 years old. a sundial 101 years
