The Uncertain Tomato.

1.-THE easiest fruit in the world to can"
few housekeepers will say when speaking
of the tomato; but many more will COM
plain of failure, and after losing both fruit
and jars for all their pains, have given up
the tomato as hopeless so far as they are
concerned. One woman. who formerly be-
lOnged TO the second class, now boasts her
self mistress of the tomato canning process,
and offers the following directions as sure
TO bring success.
Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems
Have a wide kettle or agate basin of boil
ing water on the stove; plunge in as much
fruit as is conveniently accommodated at
one time, and remove with a long-handled
skinner as soon as the skins crack. Dash
cold water over the tomatoes and they will
almost pare themselves. Slip off the skins
and lay the fruit in an earthen dish. When
ready to fill the jars, set one in a milk pan
and slice the tomatoes into it. With
wooden masher push down the fruit as the
jar fills, and turn off the Juice and seeds
which will rise to the top. Cooking will
render the fruit quite juicy enough, and
this discarding of the seeds and liquid part
appears to be necessary to success.
When all the jars are filled to within
three inches OF the tops, lay on the covers
and set the jars over the fire in boiler of
lukewarm water, placing a rack or sup
port of some sort beneath them. A sutfi-
cient quantity to complete filling the jars
may be stewed in an agate kettle, or one
jar may be emptied for that purpose. As
the fruit rises in the jars in boiling, push
it down occasionally to release the air bub-
bles from the interstices of the fruit Keep
boiling for an hour. At the end of that
time lift the jars out on to dry board, fill
each till it runs over, and seal Immediately
with a new rubber. Store in a dark place.
With timed tomatoes selling at so small
sum, preparing the winters supply in the
home kitchen seems scarcely worth while,
but if one have garden where the fruit is
going to waste, and the dimes thus saved
mean some pet charity or coveted trifle, the
task becomes an easy and pleasant one.
