GOOSEBERRIES.
[To TER EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] understand that the Government are advising (?) or order- ing people not to bottle their green gooseberries, but to let them ripen and make jam of them. Could German ingenuity, whioh is extremely sagacious, not to slay "slim," suggest a better way to damn the big and small-growers of gooseberries, at a time 'when cottagers ask for forty pounds of sugar for preserving- and get ten or twelve, when others ask for one hundred and thirty pounds and get thirty—for preserving jam of all kinds ? Bottled green goose- berries have formed a very large staple pudding or tart in my household ever since- last year. Tons and tone of gooseberries will be lost for food through this insane order, if obeyed—a very big if.
