AfPLE SAUCE ALWAYS READY ,--i
There are a Thousand waykjn which
a skillinf h0usekeeper eatl sa0nomize

item When The apples are gathered
az purchased, there arc always more or
less OF them bruised aud some already
beginning 10 rot. Sort these out, and
al one job make up d largo batch Of
apple sauce, cooking and sweetening
u all ready 10 put on the table, Dip
this into glass Jars, cover air-tightl
IL will thus keep long time, and be
always ready q. bfipg upon the table,

IN the Baker potter II Hodkin Jar. J
Enough of these jars nre usually
emptied Of Strawberries. peaahas, etc,
