CANNING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Having the cans, or jars, the operation
is simple. The fruit, whatever il may be,
In syrup just strong enough to properly
sweeten it, is brought to the boiling point,
and when the air has ali been expelled
from it it is at once placed in the Jars.
warmed with hot water, and
when these are well filed the cover is
screwed down tight. Good Jars, well filed
with boiling fruit, and promptly covered
by screwing down the caps, will insure
success. Many years ago, when canning
was not so general as it is now, we showed
how any common wide-mouthed bottle
could be used, but at present Jars made
for the purpose are SO cheap that it is not
necessary to resort to any make-shifts.
Among the first things TO be put up In this
manner is rhubarb. This can be readily
canned, and green gooseberries may Lbs
| treated in the SAME manner. Strawber-
ries and raspberries come next, and
are better preserved in the same man.
ner than by any other, but these, especially
the strawberry, while vastly better when
preserved thus than in any other manner,
come far short of retaining their original
flavor. Peaches are EARLY preserved thus,
and are nearly perfect, as are pears, es-
pecially the Bartlett, apples and quinces.
One who has put up the quinoe in this
manner will never preserve it according
to the old pound for.pound method. ALI
the highly.favored apples, preserved by
canning, make q finer apple sauce than can
be produced in any other manner. The
usual process is. to cook the fruit, of what
ever kind, in syrup mado Of four ounces
OF sugar, to pint of water. When the
fruit is cooked tender, transfer it at once
to the jar, and add the syrup to fill up
every crevice if there are bubbles
of sir, rid them TO escspe by the use
OF spoon see that the jar Is solid
full Of fruit and syrup. and up to the
top before the cap is screwed on.
While fruits are easily preserved In the
family, vegetables are more difficult. We
have many inquiries about preserving
green peas, green corn and tomatoes.
Those who make q business of canning,
find green peas and green corn among the
most difficult things to preserve. They
can only be put up in tin cans by long
boiling processes, not practicable in fam.
| ilies. II any Of our readers have found q
method by which either corn or peas can
be preserved by any process practicable
in the family, we ask them to communi-
cate it, for the benefit OF others. Last
autumn we made an experiment with to-
matoes. Thoroughly ripe fruit was cooked
as for the table, emitting butter and all
other seasoning, and put up in ordinary
| fruit jars. About three out OF twelve
| failed, but those which succeeded were
vastly better than the tomatoes purchased
in tin cans. American Agriculturist.

ANTS.

Ants serve to protect plants by destroy.
ing caterpillars and insects. Tho vast
quantity Of insects killed by ants has been
calculated by Forel, who estimates that
during the period OF their greatest energy
more than 100000 insects are DESTROYED
in day by the inhabitants Of one nest
alone. 1t seems doubtful as yet whether
any European ant stores grain, though
the Indian ant, PteidoLe prouidens, col.
lects large stores of grass-seed, and has
even been observed after the monsoon to
bring to the surface their stock OF grain
so as to dry it. In their relationship TO
animals the action of ants is well known.
The Driver Ant, Of West Africa, is the
dread OF every living thing writes Saw.
age: "When they are fairly in we give
up the house, and try to await with pa
tience their pleasure, thankful, indeed, If
permitted to remain within the narrow
limits OF our beds or chairs Rata,
mice, lizards, blapside, blatiid9 and all
vermin go down before them. It is most
especially in regard to the social and
friendly relations between ants and other
animals that many complex and interest.
ing characteristics are to be found. Even
before the time OF Linn@us, who wrote
"dphis toTmicGTRD raccd," it has been
known that ants derived an important
part Of their sustenance from the
sweet juice exereted by these sphides. In
tho Baltic amber, 80 the author tells US,
there are the remains of species OF ant
intermediate between the small brown
garden ant and the little meadow ant.
Now, the ants OF to-day may owe their col.
or, light or dark, to the fact that they feed
on the sweet OF the aphide, according to
the babitation OF the aphides, the Losips
brsnneus, making aphides, living on the
bark OF trees, while the Ldsius FaVus
keeps hocks and herds of root.feediog
aphides." Ants not only care for the full
grown aphides, which give immediate re.
turns, but absolutely collect the eggs Of
the aphides and nurse them until they ma
ture. Some very beautiful experiments are
due to Sir John Lubbock, who, in one case,
having reared some nphides, which laid
their eggs in the nest, had the satisfaction
OF seeing the aphides' eggs taken by the
ants and placed on plants. "They were
OF no direct use to the ants, yet they were
not lett where they were laid, exposed to
the severity of the weather and to in
Vulnerable dangers, but brought into the
nests by the ants, and tended by them
with the utmost care through the long WIN
ter months, until the following MarcD.
