tomato in the hand and get as much of
the juice out as possible. Put on to boil
without adding water, and let come to
boil several times. Skin and pour into cans
and seal while hot. Be certain that the tops
are well scalded before putting them on.
Glass is not good material for tomato
cans unless wrapped in paper, or kept con-
stantly in a dark place, as the light tends
to bleach them.
Okra may be prepared in substantially
the same way cutting in small pieces and
cooking until tender. If desired to mix in
the same can prepare the tomatoes by
scalding and peeling, then add the sliced
okra; cook all together.
To can peaches: To one pound of peaches
allow half pound of sugar and two <able-
spoonfuls of water Put into the kettle al
ternate layers of fruit and sugar ana COOK
until hot through and through. Ihen put
into hot glass jars and seal tlghtly at
once. A very good way (Which we prelei)
is to put the fruit and sugar at once INTO
the lars and then set the jars in large
boiler of water and cook the frult IN the
iars. being careful to fill each jar full as
the surface sinks down, ana sea- "lliie
hot with a hot cover or cap.

in large vineyards of late years. We doubt
it's utility.
3. Cut back young fruit trees to one-halt
the previous years growth just before
the buds swell in the spring, for two years.
Then confine the pruning to shortening I'D
the more vigorous branches, so as to pre-
serve the trees in good shape, and occa~
siCnally removing branches of conslderapl9
size when too crowded.
a. An expert CRATER can graft pecan
on hickory. 1t should be done in February
or March, while the scion is dormant ana
the sap has started in the stock.
