APPLE HINTS. In these days of high priced food the fresh green apple fills a long felt want, not only for the present need, but for the winter store. Where the sour green apple is pleatiful, it is cxeellent economy to can for future use some of the first grozn sauce which has been strained through the colander and sweetened to taste, as no other sauce has quite the same flavor. This makes a delightful relish. It becomes a delicacy (called apple whip) when mixed with whipped cream and served in sherbet glas- ses. A spoonful of red raspberries or other preserves on top of each alass may add interest to this dish. Any good apple sauce may be mixed with canned cherries, cranberries, and other fruits with good results. These sour apples make fine jelly. Many like to add a little lemon juice and peeling or a rose gerani- um leaf, as our grandmothers did; others prefer rhubarb, and all are good. Excellent jelly is made wit! one-third apple_juice-and- two-thirds plum,, or equal parts of each. For jelly, do not peel, but wash thoroughly and cut into quarters or halves with seeds and core left in; cover with water and let come to a boil. Strain the best part of juice for--je)ly and the remaining pulp and juice, after thorough cooking, put through the colander and make into marmalade or butter, using lots of orange peel cut fine and a little juice. Lemon is fine used in the same way. The best marmalade, however, is made when none of the juice is put aside for jellv, but extra juice ad- ded to the natural sauce and one- third sugar or more may be used and cook to a jelly-like. consistency. The above is as good as orange mar- Others will prefer the le- mocn. A good butter is made of cooked dried apricots by steaming the juice and mashing the remainder, or tak- ing Same, UME SReBIStre ndApe ing pint of sugar, or more, if de- sired, the rind of one lemon. Cook until clear. And everybody knows that good, old-fashioned apple but- ter isn't slow. Save time in making apple sauce. Don't peal the apples; cut them up and boil them; then put through a colander. The sauce is just as good and it takes a quarter of the time. PEACH RECIPES.

They were to face severer trials, but their steadfast- ness at this critical period of their lives proved them of good mettle, besides being a most excellent pre- paration for what was to befall them.
