To prepare peaches for canning or preserving, or in fact almost any dish, remove the skin by plung ing them In a wiro bas ket Into boiling water for two minutes, then the skins will como off eas ily. Sweet Pickled Peaches. To seven pounds of peaches allow 8 pounds of white sugar, one quart of not too sharp vinegar, two ounces of cloves and two 'ounces of stick cinnnmon. Peel tho peaches and insert one or two cloves In each. Boll the sugar nnd ylnegar with tho cinnamon for five irinutes, then put in tho peaches. "When the fruit Is tender, remove it carefully from tho sirup and put it Into Jars. Boil tho sirup until re duced to neatly half and pour over tho peaches. An old-fashioned method of preserv ing peaches was to fill tho Jars with tho wholo fruit, peeled and covered with sugar; bury three feet in tho ground below the frost. Spiced Peacjies. For six pounds of fruit use three pounds of granulated sugar and onu pint of vinegar. Into each peach Lasert two cloves. Put into t!ho sugar and vinegar ono ounco of cinnamon, which should bo In n cheesecloth bug, and boll. When tho mixture is boiling hot, placo tho peeled fruit In It and cook until ten der. Put Into Jars and seal at once. Peach Marmalade. This may be made from tho Imperfect fruit, udlng three-fourths tho weight of the fruit In sugar and half, a pint of water to each pound of. sugnr. Make u sirup and add tho peaches' cut in small pieces. Doll until the mixture is thick, for about three-quarters of an hmu Put In Jam or tumblers. Canned Peaches. Feel and halve the peaches, removing the pits. For Jto'ur quarts of peaches use thrco pints of water and a pint of sugar. When the fruit Is ready, drop into the boll Jng sirup and cook gently for ten min utes; seal at once. Peaches canned wholo havo a richer flavor than those with tho pita removed, yet many pre fer thera so, PERFECT PRESERVES. A dainty prcBervo to uso with meats In winter or ns n sauco for ice cream Is: Preserved Watermelon Rind. Peel tho rind from half a melon, re jecting all tho pink. Chop It flno or put it through tho moat grind er. Plucc it In a bowl over night, sprinkling with snlt over each layer. In tho morning draw off tho liquid and fresh en with cold water; washing It two or threo times. Placo in a preserving kettle with an equal measure of sugar and let it cook slowly for three hours. Fruit Preserve. Peel and cut Into small pieces apples, pears nnd plums, equal parts; uso n pound of sugar for each pound of fruit and cook un til of n marmalade consistency. Take frcm tho flro and add a half cupful of blanched nnd shredded almonds. Pickled Plums or Pears. Take nine pounds of fruit nnd six pounds of sugar, two quarts of vinegar and nn ounco of cinnamon. Boll tho vinegar and spice together, pour It over tho fruit, which has been previously placed In a largo crock or bowl, and let it stand for 24 hours. Pour It back over the fruit In tho bowl, re pent the process for five mornings, tho Inst time cooking tho fruit about 15 minutes. Put Into the jars and cover, while hot. Tomato Honey. Select ripe yellow tomatoes, tho small pear-shaped ones nro preferred ; weigh the tomatoes aft er scalding and peeling them; cut thera In pieces' and put Into n preserv ing kettlo with the grnted'yellow rind of one lemon; cook for 20 minutes, press through a flno sieve, then strain. Measure the liquor nnd to each pint add one pound of sugnr and four tn blespoonfuls of lemon Juice. Boll n moment and senl. Tomato Figs. Select six pounds of perfect pear tomntoes, ripe, smooth and yellow. Weigh three pounds of sugar nnd sprlnklo the sugar In lay ers over the carefully peeled fruit Stew very gently until tho sugnr Is absorbed, then lift them carefully to dry on plates In the sun ; sprinkle with sugar soveral times while drying.

' One tires of vanilla and lemon for flavoring, -and anything new or n vari ety is always welcomed. For those who do not en Joy almond flavoring alone the combination of ono tenspoonful of al mond extract to six of lemon is u good combi nation. When using tho mixture, shake well und uso the tenspoonful, or n few drops, depending upon the dish. Maplene Is a flavor well liked ; so Is caramel and coffee flavor. The mocha curamel flavoring Is a combination of the two. It Is prepnred as follows: Put a cupful of granulated or light brown sugar into an iron frying pan, stir until it begins to melt, then lowor the hent nnd continue cooking until it Is a rich brown In color, but bo care ful not to burn It; then add a half cup ful of hot, very strong coffee, stir for a moment until dissolved; when cool, put it in n bottle. It will keep for weeks. This may bo used for any number of dishes. For frosUng for cake mix pow dered sugar with cream until quite stiff, then add enough of the mocha caramel to 'color well, and a pinch of salt. Mocha-Caramel Gutter. Wash tho salt from half a cupful of butter, cream It and add ono and a quarter cupfuls of confectioner's sugnr, then cream again. Beat In one beaten egg, two tablespoonfals tof mocha-caramel and one or two tablcspoonfuls of strong coffee. To make this, uso cold coffee Instead of water, Put this butter In a glass jar and set on Ice. Small sponge cakes may be hollowed out and filled with this butter, gar nishing tho top of each with a candled cherry; put on the lid nnd frost. If so desired, or servo with fresh fralt, plain. Hot waffles with mocha butter Is a delicious combination. There will bo any number of ways of using this good flavor. Any white cooky mixture may be mado most tasty by 4dipc a little cooked fruit ot date, prunes or tigs on tho contor of a eeolcy; pjaco nnothor on top and bake. Thoso are especially woll liked by tho young folk. Fried chicken or pressed chicken, boiled tonguo, roast beef, aro ull meats that are well liked for outdoor meals. " " ! .,,.1-11 Ml . . I, i i, In Woman's Realm Separate Skirts, in Amost Any Number of Models, Are a Featuro of the Season, as Their Popularity Never Seems to Wane Two Millinery Models That Are Somewhat Dif ferent From the Ordinary. The separate skirt, like the shirt waist, seems to return every season. Llko pcronnlnl flowers, It Is sure of n welcome. Among tho now models for fall nnd winter thcro nro many mndo of plaid and barred woolens, n good number In plain fabrics, nnd few stripes. This Is simply a reaction from the nll-prcvnlllng stripes of tnldsum- arc too brilliant to bo lost sight of. The hat at tio left of tho picture 1ms a crown of velvet nnd n brim of felt. It Is ono of many two-color shapes. Thcro aro various color combinations, nnd occasionally n light and a dark ohndc of ono color aro combined In this way.

As a rule colors are subdued, by comparison with the bright and often violent color-contrasts In summer skirts. But this does not signify thnt they are dull. The Introduction of cross bars of white or black on fabrics that show color contrasts In plaids or checks gives them Ufo nnd sparkle. Pipings or a pinin color, matcning the cross bnr, add n happy touch In tho llnlsh of their skirts. This Is apparent in tho skirt pictured. 'This model is made with tho front cut on the straight of the goods nnd tho bnck on the bins. Both pieces ore attached to a fitted yoke cut on tho Btrnlght nnd piped with pinin white to match tho cross bar. The yoke is ex- turc, would look well. It resembles n branch of flno twigs with snow cling ing to them, or tho frost on a win dow pnnc. An nil-velvet hat at tho right has n brlmof medium width and u soft crown. Everyone Is fcmillnr with os trich wreaths. Tho flues of tho feath ers used In this one nro long and slightly curled. Their scanty arrange ment gives tho wreath a flowerllko ap pearance. It looks milch llko the beau tiful ragged chrysanthemums which nppenr along with It In tho fall. It terminates In two stnndlng half plumes at the left, back of the shape.

Tho waistline Is slightly raised, dispensing with it belt of any kind. Tho skirt shown Is cut to Instep length, but this greatly added length is nn innovation that Is In the experi mental stage. It detracts from the skirt both in comfort and smartness. Tho chances nro that skirts will make soma concession to the new mode ns to length, but good sense will not extend them below tho anklea. The shorter skirt Is cleaner and better looking. .Two pretty rebels In the realm of fashion have successfully defied tho lay that hats shall be untrlmmed, or almost without trimming. They nro pictured her, making room for soft feathefs In abundant ornaments. Then decorations, In both cases, aro mado of ostrich feathers. But all the feath ers that grow apparently nro used for tho small, exquisitely mado trimmings that milliners nro applying to lints of velvet or felt or velours. Theso orna ments, llko thoso of bead and silk em broidery, nnd tinsel and metal brnlds, are tint and they cling to tho shapes as If to efface themselves. But they trimmings for velvet Jints. Even so they are rare enough this season to bo almost unusual. Ue an Empty Drawer. For tho woman who must press an occasional waist, an empty drawer, In verted, is a capital Ironing bpard. Tho wood at tho bottom of tho drawer, bo ding unvarnished, tells no tnles of the uso to which it has been put Where a writing desk Is lacking, an empty drawer, Inverted nnd then pnrtly re placed, furnishes a roomy flat space for writing materials. Tho second drawer of tho averago bureau Is about the right height for this purpose. Girdles of Silk. Brocaded silk for girdles and other trimming Is In demand. It gives the snmo sort of touch of color that em broidery does, If skillfully used, and, of course, It Is far less work to tuck n u bit of brocado than It Is to em broider oven n simple pattern by hand. TO CURB TENT CATERPILLAR Undesirable Trees May Be Removed to Lessen Food Supply of Insect Destroy Egg Mattes. Tho apple tree tent caterpillar feeds principally on wild cherry and npplo trees, but will attack many otlier plants. For control, undesirable trees may bo removed to lessen Its food supply. During tho dormant period of ticcs, when tho leaves aro off, tho egg masses aro fairly conspicuous, and with n llttlo prnctlco may bo readily found nnd burned. This work can bo combined with pruning to good ad vantage. An asbestos torch will bo sat isfactory, dr one may bo made simply by tying rngs to tho end of n pole. Tho asbestos or rngs nro saturated with kcroseno nnd lighted. Garo Is necessary that no Important Injury bo dono tho trco from tho flame. Tent caterpillars uro readily de stroyed by nrsenlcals sprayed on tho follago of trees Infested by them. Any of tho arsenical insecticides may bo used, as pads green or arsennto of lead. Tho first Is used at tho rato of n half pound to CO gallons of water. Milk of llmo from two to thrco pounds, or stono llmo Is added to ncutrnllzo any caustic effect pf tho arsenical on tho foliage. Arsennto of lead is used at tho rato of two pounds to each GO gallons of water. Applications nro mado while tho caterpillars nro yet small, as thcso succumb moro quickly to poisons than thoso moro nearly full grown. Prompt treatment stops fur ther defoliation of tho trees.

WHEN SPRAY DOESN'T STICK French Scientists Have Perfected Meane of Making Bordeaux Mix ture Adhere to Foliage. According to tho Experiment Station "Record, two Frenchmen, V. Vermorel nnd E. Dnntony, havo perfected n means of making bordeaux inlxturo stick, nnd to better ennblo It to wet the follngo to which It is applied. This' process Is through tho addition of casein to tho spray inlxturo. "For tho preparation of tho casein," says tho Record, "It is suggested that 50 grams of powdered casein bo added to 100 grams of freshly slaked pow dered lime, mixed with a small amount of water In tho form of a paste. After this has stood for a short period, an additional amount of water may bo added, until about a liter of liquid Is obtained. This is then added to 100 liters of bordeaux mixture nnd is snld to increase tho adhesiveness very greatly. "Gelatin has been found to confer upon sprays containing It an excellent spreading nnd wetting capacity and perfect udherence. Casein proved to ho one of tho beat, agents for Increas ing tho wetting capacity of n vsprny, and to leave almost entirely Intact tho' chemical composition of tho precipi tate, which it Is adapted to distribute nnd fix upon the leaves.

Spraying will not control blight on fruit trees. The only method of keep ing this dlscuso In check Is to cut out tho blighted limbs, 'making tho cut about six Inches below any signs of tho blighted condition. Tho wounds should bo disinfected with strong Htile sulphur solution or any other sultablo disinfectant. Trees which aro susccptlblo to the flight aro cither old trees which nro weakened, or young trco which ire making-too rapid growth. Blight In nn orchard is often best checked by using somo means of checking the growth of tho trees, such as leaving tho orchard in sod, keening fertilizers from tho orchard, and very light prun lng, If nny. There aro seasons when blight is worso than in others, because of tho weather conditions, and during the last two years It has been qulto serf ous la most all parts of tho country.
