How 10 Judge Canned Goods,

A hint now about timed goods,
meat especially. Note, when abont
to purchase, the condition of the
tin; if bulged outwards, doaf hare
il, eren as a gift! We will explain
the process of canning, to give
weight to our warning.
The meat is packed in tins while
raw, then sealed, and cooked in an
outer vessel of boiling water, with
sometimes the addition of a chemi-
cal to raise the temperature. When
cooked, the can. is pierced, and,
as soon as the air and steam have
been expelled, it is soldered. EX-
perts know when it is ready for
soldering; a moment too soon, ana
the mischief is done, because II air
is left in, the tin bulges, and the
meat will not be good. On the
contrary, if the TIN has sunk, 1t is
an infallible sign of goodness; it
proves a vacuum, which is natural,
as the meat shrinks when no air Is
left in the tin.
Some NAV say, what matter il
air be lett in the TN Simply this
nitrogen, an element of air, imparts
to bodies with which it comes in
contact a tendency to change and
decay.
Often, on opening a tin OF pre-
served goods, people are heard to
say "the air is escaping" instead of
which, the slight Kissing sound is
the result of the air rushing IN, an
other proofthat there was a vacuum.
Well, We 60 so far as to say that,
assuming the outward sign of good
ness above referred to a label
bearing the name of a good ex-
porter or importer; and also a reli-
able vender of the article, whether
meat, fish, milk, soup or vegetable,
the chances are a million to one
against any being injured, much
less poisoned, 5y tinted goods.
Another caution, though al |
ways look out for any little glob.
ules of solder that sometimes find |
their way inside the tin; and take
care, especially in the case of sal
mon and lobster, to empty the con
tents, as soon as opened, into an
earthen ware vessel. This is ne
cessary for everything except milk.

Canning Fruit.

Mrs. Kedzie, teacher of the house
hold economy and hygiene in the
Kansas Agricultural College,
writes as follows on the results of
her tests in preserving fruit by sim
ply heating it boiling hot, then
putting it in jars, and trying cot
ton batting over the mouth. She
saws: ain the college kitchen la
boratory experiments were tried
with five kinds of fruit, including
tomatoes. Results were perfectly
satisfactory in every case, not even
particle of mould forming in the
can. Iu most cases the cotton was
simply tied over the canful of hot
fruit; in some cases there was a
piece of white paper put on first, to
prevent the cotton from dropping
down and becoming juicesoaked.
This seems to be the preferable way.
The cotton is taken out just as it
comes off the roll, the thickness
being about as it unwinds, and it
is tied down with strong twine. If
this should be as successful with
all fruit Gamers as here, there is
no longer need for patent fruit cans,
for any bottle with wide neck
suitable to receive the fruit, or any
lar with glazing which is perfect
to allow no entrance of air through
its walls, will be all sufficient for
keeping the fruit for winter use.'

WHEAT BRAN FOR HORSES.

The value OF wheat bran is, we
think, sadly underestimated, and
that it may be fed with profit to our
work and driving horses there can
be no doubt. Whatever may be
the results of chemical analysis,
against that is the fact that in prac-
tice its value is clearly demonstrate
ed to be greater than any scientii-
ic tests determine. Whether this
comes from its effect upon the more
solid food elements, by tightening
the mass and so increasing its di-
gestabillty, or by its own properties,
stimulating a more healthy action,
the fact is patent to all who use it,
that, fed in connection with corn or
corn meal, its effects are very soon
noticed in the appearance of the
animal. Horses, like men, desire a
variety of grains, and the system
tires of C steady diet of corn and
oats. More than this, there is with
the continued feeding of any one
kind of grain, gradually increas-
ing waste OF food supply. In the
patural craving for change, there
comes a time when the full amount
is not digested, and the animal IS
soon pronounced out of condition.
The trouble is with the system of
feeding. The prime object should
be to convert every ounce of hay
and gram, possible, into bone, mus
Gle and flesh, and i'll proportion as
we reach that condition we shall
find the true economy Of feeding.
Any agent, whether valuable in
itself or not, that will aid in the as
similation of the heavier grains. and
render a large portion digestibIe,
becomes valuable as food. For this
reason, if for no other, wheat bran
has claims upon our attention. y
practical test will soon determine its
true place and value, which we be-
lieve to be far greater than usually
accorded, says the American Gull
tivatOr.

CONCERNING KISSING.

No one will require to be told
what kiss is, and yet every one
will admit that there is some truth
in the remark Of the American hu-
morIst that the only way to define
kiss is to take one. We have
many different kinds of kisses in
this country, but we are not so far
advanced in the OsculatOry prac-
tees as our friends in Europe. 1t
is not breach of continental Ell
ouette for two members of the male
sex to embrace and demonstrate
their affection for each other by a
hearty kiss. A Frenchman likes
to maintain his reputation of bOa
eRfaRt, and to him is granted
privilege which, fortunately, here,
gentlemen do not enjoy, for on New
Years morning he kisses every
young lady of his acquaintance
whom he may meet or call upon
Although possibly we might envy
French ladies in this particular, we
must admit that we get fair share
of labial compliments during our
lifetime. We are well-nigh over
whelmed with affectiOnate mother
ly kisses long before we can appre-
ciate or return the compliment and
then wehave, amongst many others,
the kiss of friendly greeting, the
kiss under the misletOe, the kiss in
the ring, the automatic kiss of the
actor, the kiss blown from the tips
of the fingers, and the formal kiss
of fashion, which is subservient to
the laws of etiquette. These salu.
tatiOns, when between royal per.
sonages, vary in number, according
to the age and rank of the person
kissed, and it is a serious matter
if one kiss too few or too many may
be given. The stolen kiss which
the iRdmOrdtd,
with sn easy cruelty denies,
Yet wishes you would snatch not ask the
bliss"
IS supposed to possess certain quail
tiles peculiarly its own. How di-
vinely sweet and rapturous is that
other kiss, the
'Evanescent touch that thrills
The ardent lovers trembling frame
A dew which on the heart distils,
And kindles into flame"

them to pieces, and boil in Just

then one Of fruit, and 30 on until
you nave used up all of both; set
! it where it will warm slowly until
the sugar is melted and the fruit
hot through ; then strain the kerr
nal water and add it: boil steadily
until the peaches are tender and
clear; take them out with perfo-
rated skinner and lay upon large,
fat dishes, crowding as little as
possible. Boil the strip almost to
a ielly-that is, until clear and
Understanding off all the scum (;
fill your Jars two thirds full of the
peaches, pour on the boiling strip,
and when cold cover with tissue

thick paper tied tightly over them
The peaches should be ready to
take off after half an hours boiling {;
the strip boiled fifteen minutes
longer, fast, and often stirring to
throw up the scum.
Nice tomato preserves can be
made in the following manner: Be-
lect smooth, ripe tomatoes, scald
and remove the skins and the hard
part near the stem. Cut a cash in
each lobe and with the thumb re-
move the seeds. Rinse well IN cold
water, which will remove any stray
seeds and the slime. To every
pound of fruit thus prepared allow
half a pound OF sugar; cook until
clear, and just before taking from
the fire add lemons cut in thin
slices in proportion to about one
lemon to ever pound of fruit. Keep
in alright jars the same as other
fruit,
Tomatoes should be used, either
for preserving or for canning. be-
fore the cool weather Of autumn has
made them acid as everyone per.
hans already knows.

How 10 Use a GfIndstone.

A grindstone is one of the worst
used implements on the farm, or in
the workshop. Few take the
trouble to think about their work,
and consequently, the great major
ity of people fail to get the most
and best use from their tools. The
few who do think, will agree with
MS when we say that a grindstone
is both badly used and badly chos-
en-. It's too small to thick; it is
not evenly and truly set and GEN.
tered it is not properly speeded,
and is turned either too fast, and
made to throw the water around,
or too SLOW, and so fails to do its
work well it Is not we'll taken care
of, and 1t is badly used.
A grindstone, to do good service,
should be at least three feet in di-
ameter and to and one-hslf to three
inches in thickness, having a bevel
on each side of the face for grind
ing on. 1t should be quite free
from hard spots of iron pyrites,
which are injurious to tools, al
though these may be taken out
with a sharp-pointed punch. If it
! is not conferred truly, 1t will work
out of shape, and soon require true
ing up. 1t should run as fast as
possible, as it does work both bet
ter and more quickly. To prevent
it from throwing water, a piece Of
bagging should be fastened to a
staple fixed across the frame on
each end but not so close as to
grind it out; this will catch the ex-
cess of water yet keep the
stone wet enough; and clean it.
The stone should be kept in the
shade, and never in water, which
makes one side wear faster than the
other. The water box should have
a hole in it, to let out the water and
keep the stone dry when not in use'
In grinding, it should mostly turn
from the tool, and if used other.
| wise, great care should be taken
by the one who holds the tool, not
to gouge the stone.
Usually grindstOne IS worn out
of level, and very irregularly. This
| is scarcely to be avoided when such
large variety of tools, such as
scythes, mower sections, axes, hoes,
and many other tools are ground.
After ordinary use by those who
are not careful to preserve the stone
true, with smooth, and slightly
rounded face, it becomes beyond
the power of the owner to repair
damage, unless he is an expert me-
chanic, when he takes a piece OF
old stove.plate, and grinds the stone
down to a slightly rounded or bev-
eled face. The best way to repair
a grindstone is, to take q spade or
shovel, and turning it back up
wards, to grind it sharp, against
the turning of the stone. This will
bring the stone into the right
shape, and in sharpening the spade,
do a useful job at the same time.

Cancer Of the Tongue.

My wife, some three or four years
ago, was troubled with an ulcer on
the side of her tongue near the
throat. The pain was incessant,
causing loss Of sleep and producing
great nervous prostration. Accom-
panying this trouble was rheuma-
tism. 1t had passed from the
shoulders and conferred in the wrist
of one hand, she almost losing the
use of it. Between the suffering of
the two, life had grown burden
some. BY the use of a half dozen
small. sized bottles of Swift's Spe.
cific, she was entirely relieved and
restored to health. This was three
years ago, and there has been no
return of the disease.

Black Teeth In Swine.

1t may be considered as some
what foolish to refer to the popular
errors in regard to black teeth in
swine were it not that some fraud.
ulent people, to be classed among
the prevalent humbugs, are going
about inducing farmers TO let them
pull out the black teeth from their
pigs jaws as a specific against chol-
era and all other diseases of swine
for a fee of % cents per head. Black
teeth are no indication ofany great
er or worse disease than a sour
stomach, caused by overlooking and
consequent indigestion, and due to
the very prevalent habit of gorging
pigs upon sour swlll, Along with
the black teeth there Is a fetld
breath produced by the same dis.
order of the stomach, and the teeth
are no more the cause of this
trouble than the moon is Of the
crawling on the ground of lima
beans. Humbugs and frauds Of all
kinds flourish and thrive upon the
ignorance and superstition, not to
mention the dishonesty, Of their
victims, and this class Of parasites
will probably always find album
dant prey.-Neio York Times.
