The Canning of Fruit.
BY coRNELIA c. BEDFORD.

To have canned fruit which shall
not only taste, but look well, a syrup
must be prepared beforehand. This
differs in density and sweetness ac-
cording to the fruit used. The follow
ing proportions of sugar and water for
various fruits Will be found good: To
each quart of blackberries, huckleber-
ries, elderberries, raspberries and
blackcaps allow a half pint each of
sugar and water: for sweet plums,
damsons and green cages one cupful
and quarter of sugar and one cup
full of water to each quart; for ounces
Steamed first until TENDER one pint of
sugar and half pint of water to each
quart; for pears and peaches one pint
of sugar and one quart of water to
four quarts of prepared fruit; for
pineapples one pint of sugar and one
half pint of water to each quart of
prepared fruit.
Having measured the prepared fruit
take the amount of sugar and water
required, put it in a. kettle and stir oc-
casionally until dissolved, then beat to
the boiling point and boil for three
minutes. In the meantime fill the jars
with the fruit, tapping gently that they
may contain as much as possible. Next
fill the jars with the syrup, pouring it
in slowly and gently. If possessed of
proper
number of Jars, cover and follow the
directions which always are given with
the Gamer. Otherwise place the jars,
loosely covered, on the boards in the
clothes boiler, put slivers of wood be-
tween them to make sure that they do
not touch one another. Fill up to the
shoulders with warm water and heat
gradually to the scalding point. Keep
at this temperature for an hour. Open
the boiler, seal the jars, replace the
cover and keep at the same tempera-
ture for half an hour longer, then al
low to cool gradually. Do not open
until the water is quite cool, then
wipe and put away.
After looking carefully over the fruit

case Of the larger fruits, that an ap-
probable quantity is put aside because

laden air they may be kept in perfect
condition for an indefinite period.
We have often noticed the canned
fruits displayed on store shelves and
counters and have envied the skill
which produced such perfect results.
1t is quite possible to reproduce at
home many kinds of canned fruits
which will not only look quite as well
as the market product, but probably
taste a good deal better, because they
contain neither preseTYatives nor such
substances as glucose, but are put up
honestly with honest materials.
The essentials are first good fruit:
that of inferior quality can be used
in many cases to good advantage, but
when going to the trouble of canning
we usually want to have a superior ar
ticle, hence the need TO use first-class
materials.
Next comes the necessity of first
class preserve Jars. Those which have
wide mouths are generally considered
most practical because easily cleaned.
but they must be provided with cir
tight seals of some kind; this calls for
tightly fitting rubber rings.
Having these two essentials it is an
advantage, though not a necessity, TO
nave some form Of Gamer which al
lows OF the cooking of several Jars of
fruit at once. Where nothing of the
sort is to be had a good substitute is
"a clothes boiler, the bottom fitted with
loose boards or a wooden rack TO keep
the jars from touching the bottom.
Having the proper utensils and ma
Fteria1s on hand ii is presupposed that
the jars have been thoroughly ster-
tlized. Jars may be used year after
year, but when emptied should be
thoroughly cleansed before storing for
future use. Then at the beginning of
fthe canning season it is wise to again
look them over, tit them with perfect
irubbers, test to make sure they can
be closed alright and sterilize thor
oughly.
Having cans In proper condition look
over the fruit, rejecting all imperfect
or spoiled pieces. Thin skinned fruits.

such as ounces, must be softened by

To ensure a minimum of work in
handling, as well as TO preserve the
appearance of the fruit. the best way
is to put it into the jars as soon as
prepared and weighed.

The Fly.

Two met in the road. They were
old enemies. One of them drew a
gun from his pocket and pointed it
toward the other one, saying; 'l'm
going to kill YOU. We've both wait
ed our chance and mine me first.
"All right, shoot. I'd kill you if
| had a chance. His finger was on
the trigger and was gradually clos
ing against it. The other man shut
his eye, and stood pale as death.
The pistol had a long blue steel bar
rel with a fine sight at the end and
lust as the hammer was ready to send
the plunge into the cartridge, a fly
lighted on the sight, the gun wab-
bled and the ball passed the enemy
head. The man dropped his gun in
to his pocket. III won't shoot any
more. Never kill another fly. That
one saved you.

Discovery Of
; Mammoth Cave

In 1903 nearly century ago, &C
CURED the discovery Of the Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky, says the
Standard Its disclosure probably
resulted from the quest for peter
dirt, as soil found in limestone cav
erns, containing lime nitrate, was
called, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Legend giys other version of the
historical discovery Of the world +
greatest cavern, bat fact is potent
than folklore, and now the search for
caves with suitable dirt for saltpeter
manufacture probably was due the
discovery Of this great wonder,
The feyerish anxiety to find peter
dirt was the direct result of the en-
barge bill passed by congress in 1907.
That bill forbade American vessels to
leave American ports for Europe,
and foreign vessels could not land
cargoes here.
This country was getting on to-
ward the war Of 1912 and needed
gunpowder To make gunpowder
saltpeter must be had 1t had been
coming from Italy and Spain, but
the embargo act stopped that. There
was no American supply of the sub
stances.
4 rowing chemist, one Dr. Samuel
Brown, had at Lexington, Ky. shown
how by crude but efficient processes
saltpetre or potassium nitrate, could
be obtained from "cave earth. " Wood
ashes when lixiviated and boiled with
the leached product of the fine salt of
limestone caverns would furnish the
precious product on which depended
a nation life. And so the quest for
caves were begun and was assiduously
continued.
When the Mammoth Cave was found
every part Of the great cavern wa.
searched for cave earth. From pit,
dome, byways, from crystal.bedecked
avenue slaves carried the heavy load :
Of peter dirt to the leachin5 watts.
Many thousands Of tous Of soil were
thus treated and the chemistry OF
the day producing something like
100, 600 pounds of saltpeter within
two years.
Heaps of leach soil scores of feet in
length a score in height greet the
visitors eye for the first two mile:
of the great avenues which the Wis.
itors enters. But these do not tell
all the story. Many thousands OF
tons OF loose rock were TO be removed
and then replied in order that the real
bottom Of the cavern might be reach
ed. And nearly all of this was done
with slave labor. The compact piles
of mud yet show hoof prints of pati
cnt oxen, as well as hub marks OF
the used piles.
