The covering may be made of cotton flannel or an old blanket. Allow 2” on the sides and the end to be turned under after it has been cut the shape of the board. This must be tacked firmly and smoothly on the board. The ironing sheet may be made of unbleached muslin or an old sheet. This is also cut the shape of the board, allowing 4” on the sides and end for the hem. Attach pieces of tape to the opposite sides about 10” apart to tie the sheet on the board. JELLY STRAINER NO. 1 An old chair is generally used to hang the jelly bag over while the juice is dripping. As a substitute the device shown in the following illustration is suggested as being more convenient and sanitary in every way. It not only provides a place for the bag to hang, but it also has a shelf on which the pan sits to catch the drippings from the bag. The legs are adjustable; hence it is easily taken apart and kept in a small space. This makes the strainer especially convenient to the Canning Club Agent as she goes her daily rounds teaching the housekeepers the art of jelly-making. It can be easily made at home and at a little cost. MATERIALS: 3’ poplar. 12 No. 10 screws, 2¼”, to fasten the adjustable legs to the shelves. 8 No. 9 screws, 1”, to fasten braces to the top of strainer, 1 yd. white flannel for the jelly bag. 1 piece of white tape to make loops on bag. [Illustration] [Illustration] DIMENSIONS: _Legs_: 4 pieces 1½” thick × 1½” wide × 31½” long. _Shelves_: 4 pieces 1” thick × 1½” wide × 7” long to make the upper shelf. 1 piece 1” thick × 15” wide × 15” long for lower shelf. _Braces_: 4 pieces 1” thick × 2½” wide × 3” long to be cut into 4 equal triangles. DIRECTIONS: Bevel the tops of all 4 of the legs at an angle of 45°. Make the upper shelf of the 4 pieces measuring 1” × 1½” × 7”. Measure 2¼” from the tops of the 4 legs and screw the upper shelf to the legs at these points. A solid piece of wood with a hole in the center may be used in making this shelf. Support this upper shelf by screwing the four triangular braces (1” × 2½” × 3”) in the corners of the shelf. Use the 8 1-inch No. 9 screws for this purpose. Saw the lower shelf out 1½” on each corner and screw it on the legs at a distance of 9” from the bottom of the legs. Sandpaper but do not stain. Take a piece of flannel of the desired size and make the jelly bag in the shape of a triangle. Sew a loop of tape at each corner to hang the bag over the posts. JELLY STRAINER, NO. 2
