Plant cucumbers for pickling . . . A.B. Doubleday, father of

Old Fanner’s Riddle: What is smaller than an insect’s mouth?
(Answer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: Can you
tell us how to make bayberry
candles? And how many ber
ries it might take to make a
definite number of candles?
We live on the eastern shore
of Maryland where the na
tive bayberry grows. K.N.8.,
Salisbury, Maryland.
We never made them, but
we know that first of all you boil the bayberries and then let
the mixture cool. The wax rises to the top and solidifies. Take
it off and use it like any other wax. As to the number of
berries needed, it’s probably a good many more than you
would think. A bucketful might make one candle, if it wasn’t
too big.

soap and warm water . . . Riddle answer What the insect eats.
