By hlarjorie G. Hill PIE FROM THE PICKIN‘!

I suppose it is the sanne at your house as at ours-—there isnothing ieft of the cold sliced turkey but ‘the pickins on the bones." Don't ihrow them out yet, because if a :up and a half of turkey can be zooked of! the bones, that's enough to make a hot. turkey pie for dinn- er for four people. Besides the cup and a half of chopped, cooked tur- key. you will need 1-4 cup cooked, diced celery; 2 tablespoons of finely iiinced onions; 3-4 cup of cooked sliced carrots; 1-4 cup of canned seas; 1 l-Z cups sauce (thickened oroth madc- frcm the turkey bon- esi, and some unbaked pastry. Now ihen. place turkey, vegetables and iauce in IIIPII in a. shallow baking iisli. or in four individual baking dishes, Plate in a hot oven (4.23 de- grees) for twenty minutes or until hot througlLMcanwhile cut the pastry into ftllll‘ circles or other de- signs. then bake l2 to 15 minutes on a baking sheet. Place baked pastries on top of pie and scrve, If you do not care for the idea of the pastry tops on your pie, then a ring of seasoned mashed potatoes placed around the cdgc of the pie before bllklllg may l>c used

Cleaning Uphfls‘ y

Vacuum cleaning is without doubt lhe best and must efficient way to :lean upholstery. But, c-f course. this will l‘f3t remove spots. For re- moving these, try using some ful- ier's earth. Carbona, or like pre- paration, is also good for remov- ing spots and brightening uphol- stery.

Ironing Hint

The result of clothe: that are not ironed dry is easily creased garments. too unsightly to be

worn more than clice. The clothes should riot be dampened so much that it is hard to iron them com- pletely dry.

Burned Food

If foc-d has been allowed to lburn in an niuliiiiiuni cooking pan. place it dry over a fire. As soon as the food has become charred. ll _wlil loosen. Rcmove immediately.

A Country Garden

By W Mn. Gordon Macmillan

‘Tor tho precious thing: of Heaven, for the dew and for the deep that courseth beneath, arid for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun. and for the precious things put forth by the moon, and for the chief things of the ancient mountains and for the

precious things of the lasting hills"

I I I Looking back over the year

that is almost gone, we are full of thankfuiness, and we remember many happy gardening days. Gar- den visitors were interesting and appreciative and much was learn- ed from them of their gardens and homes in far away places. All in all it was a busy, happy year in the garden. if you have received a gift plant this holiday season and you wish it lo grow and thrive, remember that almost all homes are too liot and dry for plants. This can be overcome by placing the plants in_ a fernery or window box on pcpples or small stones with water underneath. Porous pots need this treatment. Of course those that are not por- ous need special care in watering as they have not any way draining.

Several time: I have had to tip the plant out to let the surplus water escape, but if care is iiaken there is not any need of this. Some plants will benefit by a care- ful cleansing of the lcaves with a small brush or syringe.

I I I

Plants need fresh air just as humans do, but a direct draught is not good. My pansy Geranium is in bloom! The Peiargonium do- mcsticium commonly called Show Geranium, and Pansy flowered, or Lady Washington. These are not perpetual bloomers like the other Geraniurns in this group, and they usually bloom at Easter, but are

all the more welcome at this season of the year. The showy flowers are often marked with dark colored blotches and the

blooms come at the tip: of the shoots rather than than several inches back as is the habit of other Geraniums.

Am very fond of these house plants and have seen some very large lovely plants covered with

bloom that lasts a very long time. Cuttings may be taken after

flowering and grown outdoors un- til September when they should be brought indoors and kept in a sunny window. Keep cool through the winter and be careful in wart-' ering. After flowering they may be placed outdoors and rested. then trimmed into shape and re- potted in good rich earth. I I I

In apple blossom pink (Garden- er's Joy) to Amaranth Red (Eas-

ier Greeting) we have a good range of color. The biotched varicitles are Mme. Layal and Schwaben Maid reddish car- mine.

A fmgrant red tea rose is also blooming for the Christmas sea- son. This was given to me by a dear Island lady as a slip from her own rose tree. and it has grown into quite a soocl sized plant with rose fbuds to continue the bloom- ing through the months.

DECEOPIVE VISION MAY CAUSE BACKWARDNESS AT SCHOOL

I have spoken before of the boy considered backward by his $11001 teacher. Later it was found that his eyesight was poor. In those days children were seated according to their standing in class studies, so that the backward or “slow" child. ren were seated in the back or rear seats, and the bright ones in pile front seats. Today. ftlflungtely‘ the backward students are seared in the front where they can see and hear best. The teacher noticed that this youngster not only scrgw. ed up his face to see the black. board. but tilted his head also. me examination revealed that one of hi5 BYE-S “'85 Eel-ling little or no use, the other doing all i-he work.
