While this jelly strainer is unique and useful in its construction it is not adjustable. It is made of poplar at a minimum cost. Around the top edge are arranged little brass hooks. These are put at equal distances apart. At the lower end of the trough two plugs are put, one above the other, through which the jelly juice flows out into a pan placed beneath the plugs. [Illustration] The jelly bag is made of an oblong piece of flannel with ivory rings sewed around the edges so as to hang the bag on the brass hooks around the top of the frame. MATERIALS: 4’ of poplar. 4 No. 9 screws, 1½”, to fasten handles on the sides. 16 No. 10 screws, 2”, to fasten ends on the sides. 5 No. 10 screws, 1¼”, to fasten the sides together at the bottom. 14 brass cup hooks arranged around the top edges. 14 white ivory rings to be sewed on jelly bag. 1 yd. white flannel for jelly bag. DIMENSIONS: _Sides_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 12” wide × 15½” long. _Ends_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 12½” wide × 17½” long. _Handles_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 2½” wide × 4” long. _Plugs_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 1” wide × 3” long. DIRECTIONS: Saw the two end pieces according to the illustration. Measure 6½” from the bottom of each end and cut them out ¼” to fit sides (1” thick) placing the sides ¾” from the outer side of the end pieces. Measure equal spaces from each side of the ends and put the handles 1½” from the top edge. Bore two holes ¾” in diameter near the bottom of the end to fit the plugs. Bevel the two sides (1” × 12” × 15½”) at the bottom so as to make a tight and neat joint. Screw the end pieces to the sides. Screw the brass cup hooks at equal distances apart around the top edge of the strainer. [Illustration] DISH DRAINER The work of dish-washing is greatly reduced by the use of a dish drainer. The dishes are carefully washed and arranged in the drainer, and boiling water poured over them. When they are dry, they can be put away or allowed to stand with a clean cloth thrown over them until ready to use. This dish drainer resembles a box in shape, put on legs, with slats placed inside at equal distances apart, making the compartments to hold the dishes. The space in front is made a little larger to accommodate the irregular dishes. An experienced housewife will know that glassware and silverware cannot be dried by this method. A hole is made in one corner of the drainer through which the water drains off into a pail which is kept under the corner. MATERIALS: 16’ of white pine. ½ lb. of 4-penny nails for nailing slats in box. ½ lb. of 8-penny nails for nailing box on the legs. 4½’ of sheet zinc to cover the inside of drainer. 4” of half-galvanized pipe for drainage tube. 1 drainage pail. Sandpaper. 1 can of white paint. 1 can of white enamel. DIMENSIONS:
