Do Your Own Canning

Now that the canning season ap-
proaches, the housewife should pre-.
pare to do her own canning. Don't
depend on bought goods, or drag
through next winter without the tonic
refreshment f pure fruit juices. Sim
ply as business proposition it pays
TO can. Sixty cents worth of sugar
and one bushel of fruit will fill "a
quart jars. Even allowing for the cost
of the jars and SIPS for the fruit,
there will still be s2.35 to pay for the
labor and fuel, while if one has the
cans on hand and grows the fruit, the
only outlay will be for the sugar.
hAere are some suggestions offered by
Mrs. Warren Carroll of Michigan:
Steam cooking gives tn best re.
suit The water is put in a large dish
over which copper boiler with a
Perforated bottom of any size desired
is placed. The inside should be par.
titioned so that the cans canot touch.
Prepare the fruit and Ill the cans
as full as possible, and after pouring
in the hot syruc, place in the steam,
leaving the covers loose. After thirty
minutes lift the cover and fill with
hot syrup. If necessary use the fruit
from one can to fill up the others.
The canning of corn and other vege-
tables is no more. difficult-except
that tin cans must DE used, and these
require soldering. Gather the corn
when full of milk and after cutting
lightly, rub off the remainder OF the
Kernels with ..le back of the knife
then fill the cans, crowding in as
much as possible Rub muriatic acid
around the edge and solder on the
cover. in which there should be a pin
nole. Boil forty minutes to exhaust
air. Then solder the hole and bo'i. for
four hours. =. good-sized boiler will
hold "A cans, each of which contains
as much as two cans purchased. The
canning of peas. beans and suecotash
is done in the same way .
To can tomatoes peel. after loosen.
ing the sin by rubbing with the bach
OF knife and then fill the cans "a
fun as possible, exhaust eight minutes
then close the hole and boil for forty
minutes.
Rhubarb should be put up in~ glass
cans, putting it up without peeline
Fin the cans fun Of rhuberb and then
pour in cold water The cans should be
wrapped in brown paper to keep the
fruit in the dark.

RELATIVE PRICES.

Many people do not realize how
prices have advanced in the last de-
cade, and it is no alone in the manu-
featured products as the following
circumstance demonstrates: Wis.
consin farmer, not long ago. went to a
harness shop to bly, a team harness
He found one that suittd him and the
price was S45. The farmer happened
to remember that ahut dozen wears
ago he had bought alharness just like
it from the same deatr for s35. and he
mentioned the fact. The, dealer went
to his books and found this to be true
But said the deakr, my books
show that you did not pay cash for it.
because you did not haze the money.
Yon hauled in 800 bushes of corn and
gave it to me for the s35 harness

Always the Paliteness.

A Germantown woman was not
long ago watching a workman as he
put up new windows and fixtures In
her house
Don't YOU think that you have
placed those figures too high?" asked
she, having reference to the curtain
rolls last put in place.
The workman, a stolid German.
made no reply, but continued to ad-
Just the fixtures.
Didn't you hear my question:" de-
manded the lady of the house. How
dare you be so rude!''
Whereupon the German gulped
convulsively, and then replied in the
gentelest of voices.
i had my mouth full of screws,
und | could not spheak till swallow
some. -Harper's Weekly.

An Old One in New Form.

Two Or three generations ago. DR..
Samuel Reed was one of the promin-
ent physicians of Boston. His large
practice included many patients out
side of the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day he bought a new horse.
with which he was much pleased I'M
til he discovered that the animal had
an insurmountable objection TO
bridges of all kinds and could not be
made to cross one.
AS, at this period, it was necessary
to cross some bridges in order to
reach any one of the surrounding
towns, the doctor decided to sell the
horse. He did not think 1t necessary
to mention the animals peculiarity.
but was much too honest to misrepre-
sent him and, after some thought. pro-
duced the following advertisement,
which he inserted in local paper:
For Sale-A bay horse, WARRANTED
sound and kind. The only reason for

each word he had spoken fingered in
her cart. In all her life she had
seen nothing like this stranger. Few
gentlemen ever came to the Hall. Lady
Hutton's lawyer was one, little old
man who wore black wig; DR.. Grey
ling was another, and the good min
lister was a third They were all
old, and said but little TO her. This
handsome stranger had looked at her
with a strange light in his dark eyes.
He had stood before her, the wind lift
ing the masses of dark hair from his
brow. and he had bowed lowly and
reverently. as though she were a
queen, and he her knight. Dr. Greyling
and the minister never did that. Why
was the morning SO pleasant to him
What was the picture he thought so
beautiful? In her dreams and fancies
he took the principal part; and she
could better understand now what had
puzzled her before. If ever in years
to come some one was to care for
her, she hoped he would have the
same face and the same voice as the
stranger.
Hilda did not know that on this May
morning. while she sung over the
blue-bells, and laughed at the butter
fly the 6rst link was forged in a
chain that was to bind her for life;
for the bonnie woods of Brynmar were
fatal to her, as they had been TO her
beautiful young mother. who years ago
had learned here her first and only
lesson in Love.

the church the pony is. tied to the

break away if passersby do not give it
the weed. When the pastor of the
church approaches, the pony puts it's
nose In the minister's pocket and
whinnies what may mean in horse
talk: "Give me a chew" but the
pony soon. shakes its head in a dis

does not use tobacco. The little girl

ners is the number of knocks" that

to some that are not present. At the

about the board, is said to have re-

AS counterpart of the Knockers
Club" several Government clerks are
said to have formed an organization
which has been christened THE Boo
sters' Aggregation" The motto of the
association will be, it is said, Don't

also said the Boosters" will give a
dinner early in the new year, and that
next summer when the tropical

HINTS ON STORING FRUIT.

Amateurs frequently gather their
apples and pears before they are thor
oughly ripened. Under these condi-
lions it is impossible to obtain the
full flavor of the fruit. An even
temperature in the fruit store IS i'm
portant, and adequate ventilation
must be provided at all times. Many
excellent varieties of apples have
been pronounced of inferior quality
owing to their being placed in ill
ventilated store rooms. The use OF
straw or hay should be avoided.
Fruit will taste of the flavor of these
materials if used. The choicest des-
sert varieties should be placed on
wadding or wood wool in single lay
ers. Take great care in handling the
fruit not to bruise or otherwise dam.
age it in any Gardening for
Beginners in The Garden.
