ELLEN'S DIARY

by an Island Farmer's Wife

This morning brought farm folk . . .

a fair gentle day. with the sunrise kindling brightly above a cool, quiet hill. It also gave to the duties of our round additional names to stir with those of this household into our cooking-pots into the steaming cauldron of the dinner- hrew, mixing only with that witch- ei-y which is gsined by long experi- I-nco; muttering it is true. though not such incantations as are as- sociated In mind with the like. Our words were against the fire that burned without grace while the hands of the clock moved steadily, and it seemed fast. toward the deadline of noon-hour. And what- ever should we do if we disap- pointed James by serving a de- layed meal! . . .

”'I'he sky won't fall; the niill- stresm won't stop running . . . and I reckon James will live through ii! He's survived worse disappoint-

an electrician . . . ya-as Ma- am!"

so smartly these little lsds of newer generations have come to man": estate, we do find it dif- ficult to think of them as mature.

And another anticipated and necessary endeavour of the farm has thus been written off, before. the wintry storms commence to' blow. I

With the revival of interest in old herb gardens of our fore-fathers we need some compilation of scat- tered bits of information about the culture of herbs and their use in cookery and medicine. as well as the folklore, superstitions and legends connected with them, for every country today has forgotten much of the herb lore which had accumulated wlth'its growth and that of its people.

Bontanically the term herb has come to signify plants more or less tender, even if slightly woody. A5 annuals they die out completelyat the end of the first season and must be reproduced from seed. such are the tender herbs. dill and mug. wort.

Household Hint

when decorating a dining table for a luncheon or dinner, do not use flowers that have a heavy odor. as this may be disagreeable in some of the guests. Also. choose flowers ap- propriate for the occasion of the meal. and that will harmonize with the pledomhnllim colors of the room and table settings.

If the table is small. the center- piece should be small; if the table in long and narrow. the centerpiece should suggest the same propor- tions. A centeprioce should be suf- iieienlla low so that the guests can see each other across the table.

Sweet herbs are those of aroma- tic fame udoriferous. pungent leaves and flowers. The distilled oils used in perfumes and having other in- dustial uses are of great importance. Rosemary. lavender sweet lnlrlorsm, thyme. anlse. fennel and basil are among the sweet herbs.

Pot herbs are succulent. leafy vegetables and roots which add once unsuspected value to the boil- lns pot of "spring greens." As "salad herbs" they are eaten raw, but the line between these herbs and herbs in other groups is not sharply drawn. chives, parsley, tarragon and chervil are admitted here, and the common salad herbs are lettuce, dandellons and spinach,

This year the herb Bergsmot was planted in the garden because of the fragrant leaves that were loved when it was grown here some years 380. The Bergamots, especially if grown in mixed colors are amongst the most decorative plants in the garden. Both the flowers and the
