sound and not fully ripe. After pick.

case of gooseberries, black currants.
ETC., 1t is packed tightly down in the
bottles, care being taken to keep the
outside layer even. All the fruit
should be carefully graded and only
the best used. The bottles of fruit
are then filed to the top with water;
rubber rings (Which should be the
cylindrical ones) are soaked in warm
water and put round the necks of the
bottles, and the tops tightly clipped
on. The bottles are next stood in the
sterilizer, which is filled with water
halfway up the bottles, or rather
more If gas or fire heat is used, aud
closed with the thermometer in posi-.
ton. The temperature is run up very
slowly (not more than one degree per
minute), SO that the process should
take from one hour 40 minutes to two
hours. When the required tempera.
ture is reached, steam is regulated 80
that it remains steady for 20 to 30
minutes, according to the kind OF
fruit. The bottles should, If possible,
be left in the sterilizer till cold. In
any case they must not be unclipped

should be firmly fixed and the bottles
entirely alright.
