CANNING FRUIT.-I should lie
to say few words to the inexperi-
eneed on canning fruit. l remem-
Der at our state fair few years ago,
hearing a man lecture on the pres
ervation of fruit; one thought IN
particular impressed me-that the
Gue flavor of any fruit, once lost,
could not be regained.' So when
fruit is heated in open vessels, and
the air is full of delicious aroma,
your fruit is fast losing its best
| quality. This is why it is best to
fill the jars with fruit before cook
ing. Another reason why it is best
to heat in jars, you avoid crushing,
and the liquor is rich and clear. In
canning peaches or pears, it is very
satisfactory if you have retained
the small or broken pieces for
present consumption, and only fill
ed your cans with large, shapely
quarters. The same with grapes
and berries. If you wish to real
ize the exquisite flavor of each
fruit, do not spoil it with poor SUI
gar. 1t is good way to put what
nice white sugar you wish to use
through the day, Into the porcelain
kettle in the morning, with little
water, and bring it to u boil, and
skim it, then when your bottles or
jars of fruit have been heated, fill
up with the hot syrup. For lack
of anything better l take a large
copper wash-boiler, place piece of
straw mating or two thicknesses of
paper over the bottom, and then ar
range the cans, as many as it will
hold, and keep upright. You may
need some twigs between and a.
round them, to keep all firm and in
place. Fill with warm water to
the necks of the jars, cover them
with lids, and put on the boiler
cover to keep in the steam. Ber-
ries need but few minutes of boil
. ing heat. By this method, if you
I do leave them u trifle too long,
they are not spoiled by boiling to
} pieces. Green corn is very nice
cooked with sliced ripe tomatoes,
two or three hours, slowly, on the
back of the stove, and seasoned
, with sweet cream, salt and pepper
when warmed for the table. Corn
and tomatoes are better cooked in
the porcelain kettle, and should be
: canned and sealed up in bright tin
cans.-J. W., in the Co. Gentleman.

correspondence
Your correspondent, having nothing
better to do, thinks that probably he
can win the everlasting gratitude of
your readers by writing line or two
from this old-iashioned, Democratic
town. Ia using the term ''old-fash-
ioned," l want it understood that l
mean nothing hard or harmful, but,
on the contrary, have reference to the
good "old-fashioned" peculiarities,
which we all admire so much-such
as minding ones own business, sc.
In this respect it is truly an ''old-fash-
ioned'' town.
CRoPs.-The horny handed farmers
of this town have pretty much finish
ed planting. though. as is the case in
every community, there are few who
for various good reasons, are always
behind their neighbors. and have yet
to plant their corn and potatoes
Corn is Coming up" nicely, and gem
orally without the aid of porkers.
Potatoes, too, are peeping from the
earth, looking at first fresh and green,
but that don't last long, for no sooner
does it become known that stalk has
dared to make its appearance, than
enough "bugs" sally forth to the at
tack to soon change the appearance to
that top so that it looks like a piece
of dark, perforated paper. This pest
has mad its appearance much earlier
this year than last, and consequently
many farmers are much discouraged
at the prospect for crop of potatoes,
and so me have concluded to plant less
acreage to potatoes than they intended.
Others are planting more.relying upon
the efficacy of Paris green and other
poisons for protection.
But few of the teachers of this town
attended the meeting of the Associa-
ton at Hiram, last Saturday, and they
came back convinced that msne host
of the - house has but few GUS
toners in the course of the year and
therefore must bleed those he does get.
Hiram is not the cheapest place in the
world at which to feed a horse. The
teachers of Shalersville do not appear
to appreciate the Portage County
Teachers Association, as there are
but few who are members of that
institution. OCCASIONAL.
