Hints on Canning Fruit.
By Etcllc EJgcrtgn.

By Estcllc Ejscrton,
The season when fruit will bc
plenty is fast approaching, and those
housckccpcrs who have sccn how
much their canned fruit wGs enjoyed
the last winter, will be making cal
culations to put up n large supply
the present summer, There is moth
ing healthier, and really, hardly any
thing cheaper, than canned fruit,

desirable to have even this sort Of
mold. 1t would be out Of the qucs-
ton TO send such bottles to n long
distance, rs the mold would be
spread all over the fruit, if it did ret
impart any unpleasant flavor, There
is such athing as having bottled fruit
without any mold hatcvcr. think
tie reason white m"id forms, is, that
tie Ind of the cnu . not applied soon
