THAT BUGGY.

We like to see young men get on
aud up as they can afford the
means to pay their way. But
when it is evident to all eyes that
one has gone in debt for this and

DIRECTIONS FOR CANNING.
.ericultural Editor Index Appeal.

Agricultural Editor Index Appeal.
Glass jars with rubber bands
under the tops are best. 1t enables
you to see at a glance, at any time,
how the fruit is keeping, and does
not create poisonous compounds,
as fruit acids in tin jars are almost
sure to do.
Peaches, pears and apples drop
into cold wafer as they are pared
and cut. This makes them retain
bright color, as the acids ara not
colored by contac: with the oxygen
of the air.
Cook all fruit very slowly. This
preserves its form.
Use only graduated or white
sugar. Brown sugars are apt to
color many kinds of fruits.
Do not wash jars, vessels or
hands with soap while canning
fruits. Use soda or borax and dry
in the sun before filling.
After filling the jars set them on
straws in a teapan of water, and
bring gradually to a boil on the top
of the stove. AS soon asremOved to
the table screw down the top to
exclude the air, and let the lara
and contents cool.
Keep the canned fruit IN a cool,
dark closet, and label the kinds
with date, favoring, etc.
Half gallon and gallon jars are
most convenient, but few quart
Jars may be included, for holding
fruit juices to be used for iavoring.
Visit the fruit room daily for
several days after canning, 70 sec
if jars show signs of fermentation
or mould. Should such appear,
remove these and cook over again.
Well-cooked fruit, in air-proof
jars, will keep easily, but no fruit
will keep we'll jars that let in air.

jars in a hurry after removing them
from the stove. Give time TO cool
off a little, and for the gas to es.

1t is not necessary TO seal jars
Well-6tting rubber bands into
which the edge of the top will sink,
will be alright.
Do not use too much sugar
Avoid making the fruit too sweet.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
MODES OF APPLYING MANURE.
DIFFERENT OPINIONS. EXPRESSED
ON A SUBJECT OF GEN
ERAL INTEREST.

on A SUBJECT OF GEN
ERAL INTEREST.
1t is not an easy matter to lay
down general rules in regard to
the application of mauures that
will be wise in all cases.
Opinions differ somewhat as to
the economy Of spreading farm
yard manure upon the surfaces Of
fields or lawns in late autumn
or early winter. Circumstances
alter cases here as elsewhere. 1t
seems, however, reasonable to main
tain that winter top dressing should
be restricted to level fields; for
both rain and snow must sweep
manure from frozen hlllsideS before
its constituents have had any fair
chance to soak into the ground.
There are advocates both at
home and abroad of the practice OF
carting out fresh manure from the
barn yard as fast as it is made and
spreading it directly on the fields.
The chief gain in such practice is
doubtless the saving of labor.
The spreading of short manure
upon grass in the spring, or in the
autumn even, is no doubt com
mendabe in many situations as a
means of maintaining the same. a
chief objection TO the system of
surface spreading, which applies
particularly to light teaching soils,
is that the uOnsOluble portions of
the manure, as they lie on the
ground, are liable to dry out TO a
peat like substance that is not
specially useful to the growing
crop.
However manure may be applied,
il is OF Importance to secure its equ-
able distribution in the soil. In
general way, it may be said that
horses droppings and manure from
sheep pens should be applied by
preference to cold clayey loans, or
to moist soils rich in humus. These
hot manures tend to warm and gu
hven the land. On the other hand,
the slowly fermenting COW manure
is preferred for warm light Soils
On light sandy soils it will be
found a good plan when using
horse manure to mix it with some
slow sort. as COW or swine manure.
