How to Remove taleHSkin from
Peaches. -

As the time for preserving and can
ming peaches has come, many a house
wife will doubtless be glad to know how
to remove the skin from~ this delicious
fruit with as little trouble as possible.
The following method from an exchange
deserves trial:
Make lye as strong as possible of
wood ashes and s.ft water. Fill a ket-
tie with the I've, and when boiling rapid
ly, drop in twelve or eighteen peaches
and take out again almost Immediately,
and immense them in a pail of cold wa
ter. Take one in your hand and the rind
will slip off entirely, leaving a round,
beautiful yellow ball throw it immedi-
ately into another pail of pure water, and
the process will Eot injure the favor of
the finest peach, and once tried the old
fashioned way Of peeling with a knife
will not again be adopted. IF the lye is
not strong enough put into the kettle two
.dippersful of clean wood ashes. This is
an excellent way to rid small onions of
thai1 preparatory to picking
4elh. Try it.
