The average family is fond of pickled watermelon rind and pump- kin chips. Here are some good re- cipes for these delicacies: Pickled Watermelon | Rind: Re- move a thick paring from the out- side of the melon (that is, a paring about one-third inch thick), then also remove and discard all the pink part and seeds. The portion which is pickled is that which dies directly under the green outer-rind. Cut thie into "fingers" about three inches long and about an inch wide, Cook four pounds of these till tender in the following sirup: Put into: a saucepan three-quarters of a pint of sder vinegar, two pounds of gran- ulated sugar, one-half ounce of stick cinnamon and one-fourth ounce of whole cloves. Let this mixture sim- mer for 15 minutes before you be- gin cooking the pieces of rind in it, a few at a time. Pack the cooked rind-pieces in hot, sterilized jars and turn over them the remaining hot sirup. Seal airtight at once.

Little enough was our learning, Small was our craft and skill, But we saw the feet of the morning Go by--and our hearts were still, We shaped the canoe and the paddle, We fashioned the snowshoe frame, And the Great Spirit was with us, As we kindled the council flame, You have circled the earth with your knowledge, Your magic is more and more, Yet must you heed our wisdom-- The truth of the wilderness lore.

Put alternate layers of the pumpkin pieces and the sugar in a preserving kettle and let stand overnight in a cool place, covered, to draw out the juice. In the morning add to the preserving kettle three large wash- ed demons cut into slices with seeds discarded. Put the kettle over a mod- <rate fire and bring to a boil, letting the mixture simmer till the pump- kin is transparent. Then remove pumpkin with a skimmer and cook down the eirup- till it is thick.

Heat over fire till very hot, then add the firm part of one medium-sized pumpkin cut in chips (after the pumpkin has been pared and the seeds and spongy immer part remov- ed). Also add to the kettle six cups of granulated sugar, nine cups of cider vinegar, two teaspoons of ground cloves, three teaspoons of ground cinnamon, one teaspoon of ground allspice and three tablespoons of chopped ginger root.
