Keepers busily at work canning peaches 1t
makes no difference to them to know that all
Kinds o! preserves arc nut UP by the great can :
ming companies which hnvo millions OF dollars
OF capital invested and employ many thou
eands OF persons. and scour the country for
the best fruit and Nil great factories with cats
OF peaches and most tempting lars OF glass
With luscious fruit most pleasing to tho eyo
and delicious to tho TASTE and at reasonable
prices. Never In tho history Of the world were
canned peaches so plentiful and cheap and
GOOD. But tho proud housekeeper knows that
abe has trick OF her own about preserv-
ing peaches that gives them a succulence and
aroma, and are a pleasuieto the palate such
rs no canned goods can give. 1t IL the old
story OF the superiority OF the hand. made over

1t Is true that many housskeepers burdcned
with many family cares. or not having the
knack OF making good preserves. Or not hav-
Ing the time. or not caring TO take tho trouble.
pr having found trustworthy brands OF canned
goods. have given up making preserves, and
have como to the conclusion that the great
canning factories can 60 the work host and
cheapest. or that consumers are too ungratcful
TO com pensate them for the great labor OF nut
ting up thoir own preserves. But 1t Ia also
true that there Is remaining an immense
number OF housekeepers OF whom tho epicures
who have knowledge OF them believe that
they can mike preserved peaches better than
Any factory.
In tho 6rst place. the cid houscksspers have
great faith in their ability 20 select tho best
fruit There has long boon tradition that
the Norris White Is the best fruit to do up''
and every housekeoper who does UP fruit does
% all the Morris Whites she can get. This Is
variety that has been many years IN tho
market. aud frs: came from Hurtingt' u
county. N. ]. Many peaches are yet sold for
Morris Whites. but some very wise heads say
thee arc renly very few, ifsny. Morri. Whites
found these days. but that other varieties hav-
Ing tho same general characteristics have
been grown AMI sold to take tho place OF
the Morris Whites. 1t Is we'll known that
many varieties OF fruits and vegetables with
such favorite names have long since disap-
peared from the market In the Same way all
the Saddle Rock oysters were eaten u y long be-
fore the demand for them ceased. and the de-
mand continued SO persistently that other
large succulent and delicious oysters con-
N"ued to be sold as Saddle Rocks Tho same
experience has been duplicated with brands OF
cigars. or OF wines-in fact. OF everything that
We eat and drink. Some people think
that the Morris White peaches como
from John Whites z, eat orchards at Mount
Morris. Livingston county. N. Y. whore may
be seen 5O,00O baskets OF peaches in one or
ebarl and 700 acres Of fruit together. But
bio ris Whites wore known before this great
orchard grew Its rivals. There is the author.
ity Of deaier in Gsnsevoort Market who soils
sometimes 5000 baskets Of peaches . day.
who says that Morris Whites have become
thing OF the past while other varieties
equally rs good and with the Same general
characteristics have taken their place and
som times been sold under their name.
There are several hundred varieties Of
