SUBSCRIBE
If you are not a subscriber to The Progressive Farmer, this sample
copy is sent you sir, as an invitation to subscribe. The sample copy,
too speaks for itself and makes its own argument ; so our appeal shall
be brief. There is no use of false modesty, so let us simply say : We
are putting out the best farm- paper ever published for farmers and
farm families of the Carolinas, Virginia, and adjoining States and we
prove it fifty-one times a year. This is one of the times.
' There are some papers you can't afford to take, and there
are some papers you can't affoid not to take. The Progress
ive Farmer is one you canH ajfford not to take. It is not an
expenditure, but an investment, and pays for itself every
issue. . .
"The Progressive Farmer," says Mr. f. M. Parrisand
there are thousands who will echo his sentiment" has given
me $ioo profit in improved land, crops, and stock for every
i I have paid for it."

How to Make Beet Sweet PicklesFour
Dear Aunt Mary: Since Sincere
gave such a .nice recipes for water
melon rind preserves, I am glad to
give my plan (which is successful)
for beet pickle:
I boil the beets in the usual way,
but not too tender. I then take
them up and peel them and cut them
up any size you prefer (I quarter
them) . Add a cupful of sugar to
each one quart of r vinegar, bring to
a boil, put in the beets and bring it
all to the boiling point. Then fill
ud the jars and seal, and you will
have good pickle in abundance.
MRS D. E. MODLIN.
Dear Aunt Mary: Sincere " has
asked how to keep beets, so I am
sending the following recipe which
I have used very successfully:
Boil and peel beets as you do for
pickles. Take 1 quart vinegar, 1
cup sugar (or less if preferred) and
bring to a boil. While beets are
still warm drop them In boiling
vinegar and ; when this comes to a
boil pack in jars, cover with the
vinegar and seal. Flavor to suit
taste. MRS. H. O. V.

Dear Aunt Mary: In answer to
Sincere's inquiry how to keep beets
I am glad to send the following
recipe to pickle beets:
Cook and prepare as for immedi
ate use, then quarter, and place in
jars. Now take good vinegar and to 1
quart of vinegar put 1 cup of sugar,
salt and pepper to taste, bring to a
boil, then pour over beets till cover
ed and then seal. Beets put up in
this way are simply fine and a sure
keep. I hope Sincere will try this
recipe and be delighted.
The Home Circle is very helpful
to its readers, especially the ex-
i change of recipes, which is very in
teresting to the enterprising house
wife. MRS. E. A. P.
Dear Aunt Mary: If Sincere will
try the following recipe' for beets
she will have success: : .
Pack the beets in quart cans and
cover with a pickle made as follows:
Take good strong vinegar, put over
the fire in a granite kettle, add su
gar, red pepper chopped fine, ground
clpves and salt Let come to a boil,
pour, over the beets, and screw the
covers tight. .
To three cans of beets I use a
tablespoon each of salt and cloves,
2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 red
pepper, but one's own taste may be
consulted as to the amount. Beets
put up in this way are delicious and
keep through the winter.

I wrote last but am now in the new

One or two other recipes for best
pickle .were received, but since they
are similar to some of those given
above it is not necessary to print
them, though we thank their senders
none the less on that account.
To Remove Mildew.
Dear Aunt Mary: Here is anoth
er recipe I have found very helpful:
Take chloride of lime cup, over
which pour i gallon boiling water.
When lime is dissolved strain
through coarse muslin, and place
goods in (when water is lukewarm).
Let goods stay till mildew is bleach
ed out, after which wash out lime
well. However, M have never used
for any but white goods, as I sup
pose it will take out colors.
Jron rust ,wet with lemon juice
and sprinkled with salt will bleach
out. Sometimes it takes two or three
applications. H. 0. V.
Recipes Wanted for Peach, Chow
chow, and Cucumber Pickles.
Dear Aunt Mary: Will Sincere or
some one tell me exactly how to
make good peach sweet pickle, also
chow-chow, and how you stuff the
peppers? Also tell me how to pickle
cucumbers. When I put them in
brine they nearly all get soft.
Yes, let Sincere give us the benefit
of her "experience in pansy culture.
I. for one, am interested.

Do not wait for a storm to break
before the chicks are driven under
shelter. It is "not very much trouble
to care for them in time, and they
will be much better ofT for the extra
attention till they grow a coat of
true feathers that shed rain well.
Panics do not affect the dairy in
dustry.' Persons must have food, and
dairy products are something that
cannot be done without.
