As usual, housewives fond ofcanning
and preserving find that although the
fruit crop has been plentiful it is difficult
upon returning in September to get just
such fruit as they want for making jellies,
preserves, marmalades and so on. All
these things are now made on an extern
sive scale by manufacturing concerns
and sold by grocers, but the best house,
keepers are suspicious of them and they
generally have an artificial flavor. OF
late, however, a great many women in
and near the cities have gone to putting
up homemade preserves, pickles, etc =,
for profit, and in many cases all they can
put up is engaged long in advance. Some
of these homemade delicacies, which
are especially nice to have in case of
sickness.

Elkton Fair.

BE sure and read the advertisement in
this issue of the EllSton Fair. 1t is al
ways understood that the Cecil County
Agricultural Society spare no pains in
making the Fair success. In former
years the largest number of displays, at
fractions, the competitions shown in
every department, and the able manage
ment of the whole concern has given
people chance to enjoy four days of
pleasure and sport. The number of ex-
hibits this year promises to eclipse all
former occasions. Fifty special pre-
miums are offered, which will draw Il
mountain of exhibits. The managers are
exerting great energy to make the Fair
something grand this year-and they
will succeed.
