hours, depending upon the size and
quality Of fruit. It requires this length
Of time to reduce it to a fine pulp and
destroy all rawness. The flavor is
changed and improved, making, if the

The PHILOSOPHY OF WASHING FIAN-
NELs.- Many persons buy fannels part.
ly cotton to avoid the shrinkage in
washing which is supposed to be in
evitable. We have in the house all
wool Shaker flannel which has been
washed every other week for two years,
and although nearly worn out the
shrinkage IS scarcely perceptible.
First, the soap used must contain no
rOsin, as this hardens the fbres of the
wool. Flannel soap, so called, is
manufactured by our leading soap
boilers, and differs from ether laundry
soaps, chiefly ID containing no rosin.
Second, no water below 10 degs. or
1l2 dogs. Fahrenheit ever comes in
contact with the flannel Our white
flannel takes precedence over all the
rest Of the washing. We fill the Doty
washer with soap suds, pass the fan
nels through it, wiring them out, seald
IN blue water, wiring again, and hang
out immediately, then go on with the
rest of the washing. Blankets are
washed in this way as easily as sheets,
and feel as soft and look as nice almost
as when they came from the store. If
enc has no washer, with wringer and
a pounding barrel, blankets and fan
nels need never come in contact with
any but boiling water.
