s.s,s.ssis R,s.,p,. for Preserving
fruits.

The following suggestions for canning and
preserving fruits and vegetables have been
carefully tested by experience, and approved
as simple aud reliable, II the fruit be fresh
and healthy when put up, they may safely DC
for long time, and almost rs ffosh as when
frst gathered. An important part Of the
success 10 canning and preserving fruit con-
sists In selecting tina; which Is fresh, sound,
and healthy. This done, secure good cans,
or II you can get them, giass Jars and bottles,
and when filed, be sure that the air 10 en-
tirely expelled, and that they arc pcrfectly
sealed or soldered. Glass Jars arc 10 be pre-
ferred, at all times, TO tin cans. Be careful
TO preserve the fruit a noariy whole and un-
broken In the process as possible. Fruitand
vegetables will always keep better II fresh
and unbroken than II bruised.
The rules for preserving fruits are simple
and few, and can be successfully observed
by any one. There need be no failure II
reasonable caro- and attention arc Exercised.
There are two ways OF expclling the air
from Jars or cars, either Of which viii an
swer. The first Is TO heat the fruit amer
putting II Into the cans or Jars, and the other
itself will expel the air. The trst method Is
usually preferred. Il preserves the form
and beauty OF the fruit, which IL llkely 10
become broken by pouring u into the Jars.
Great care should be taken In canning cher
ries, berries, currants aud all small fruits
TO do 90 without breaking or bruisiug them.
When broken the Juice escapes and prevents
a clear syrup. Toomuch cooking has the
name effect. '''' 80 'i''''.
To prevent Leakage, when Elass jars. or
bottles are used, they should Be immersed
In warm water before pouring In hot fruit,
or wettiug towel In cold water and folding
Il around the jar, before pouring In the hot
fruit, will answer the same purpose
All fruit and vegetables should be packed
In a. closely as they will permit. In heat
Ing the Jars pieces OF wood should be laid 10
the bottom Of the boiler TO keep them of
the hot surface, and as soon as the fruit 10
suficiently heated Q, cooked, they should
be scaled or soldercd aud set away. b.
fore setting them away be sure that they
arc perfectly Albright. The least air win
spoil the fruit.
A good general rule In canning fruit is TO
use one pound OF sugar with four pounds Of
fruit, aud water enough 10 keep II from burn
Ing. Tin cans should be soldered, or sealed
With sealing wax, or cement made OF equal
parts Of rosln, beeswax and tallow. Sealing
war Is best for such cans as have grooved
rims.
The following will be Of use to many az
showing the proper length Of time 10 boil,
and the amount Of sugar required to the
quart for the various kinds Of fruit:

No Legislature ever deliberated on many i'm

of Tennessee The hre-tried Unionists of that body
arc always prompt and energetic-they are men
from every station of disappearing all the IN

her members While they are and have been unit
on all questions Of general importance to this sec
ton they are hot so nsrrow-minded as to overlook
measures affecting the interests of the whole State
There are soma Others who claim to be East
Tennesseeans-sheir conduct has been such as to
warrant them in SO doing. Foremost among these
we might mention the name Of Gen. John B. Rodg-
ers, ever jealous of the interests of his immediate
constituency but alive to the interests Of the
whole State.
East Tennessee, heretofore neglected and unde-
velOped, has needed help from liberal minded men
from other sections of the State Gen. Rodgers has

will, ere long, see the same thing. Develop East
Tennessee and the cry of high taxation will never
more be heard. We pledge these men who have
risen above sectional bias and looked to the true in
terest of the State, that East Tennessee will stand
by them in the future. IF the additional represen-
tatives from Tennessee are not admitted, we shall
be glad to see Gen. Rodgers we'll remembered when
appointments are made. East Tennessee refers to
