Before giving recipes for some OF these'
I wish to answer some Of the many
Questions received since these articles
have been printed.
'eWhat is the difference in time IN
cooking the various fruits for canning
might say one recipe will answer for
all kinds of small fruits where sugar
is used, and one where II is not. AlsO'
one, in like manner. for the large fruits.
In addition to directions previously given
for buying perfect fruit. for thorough
sterilization of Jars, whether in a steam
cooker or kettle, 1 will say to fill the
Jars with the fruit, lay covers on loose
". and boil five minutes from the time
the water begins to boil. Fill two jars
from a third, cover with boiling syrup,
fasten covers on tight, set back in steam
cooker or kettle for 10 minutes from
the time II begins to boil again. For
large fruits, such as peaches. plums and
soft pears, peel and pack the fruit
into the Jars as for the small fruits;
proceed precisely the same except length
en- the time at first to 10 minutes, and
after adding the boiling syrup give Is
minutes.
How do you can beets?'
Wash very clean young beets. Put
them into boiling water and boil %
minutes: cool and slip off the skins;
cold water and bring to boiling point
for 10 minutes. Pack the beets into
the lars. Fill the jars with cold wafer,
lay on covers. stand f. steam cooker
or kettle. Boil one hour. IF settled. fill

on tops, set back in kettle or oSoker
for another hour. The covers must hoS
be laid on the table and then placed on
the jar Too much danger in losing
the fruit.
What Is the best way to cover jelly?"
There are several ways this may be
done any one of which is good. II
you have glasses with tin covers. take
a clean cloth. dip into a cup of water
In which you have dissolved teaspoonfuJ

culosis sputum and other discharges or
those sick with these diseases, and then
go direct to your food, to your drink,
to the lips of your sleeping child, or per
haps to a small open wound on your
hands or face. When germs are deposited
in milk they multiply very fast; there
fore milk should never be exposed u
flies.
MEANS OF PREVENTION.
Screen your windows and doors. DO II
early before fiy time and keep screens
up until snow falls.
Screen all food, especially milk 10
not eat food that has been in contact
with flies.
Screen the baby's bed and keep MES
away from the baby's bottle, the oaoy
food and, the baby's comforter.
Keen flies away from the sick, especial
" those i'll with typhoid fever scarlet
fever. diphtheria and tuberculosis. Screen
the patients bed. Kill every fly that en-
ters the sick room. Immediately disin-
feet and dispose of all discharges
Catch the flies as fast as they appear.
Use liquid poisons, sticky fly papers and
traps.
Place either of these fly poisons IN
shallow dishes throughout the house:
Two teaspoonsful of fOrmaldehyde to
pint Of water, or
One dram of bichromate of potash dis
solved in two ounces of water, sweetened
with plenty of sugar. To quickly clear
rooms of flies, burn pyrethrum powder or
blow powdered black flag into the air OF
the room with powder blower This
causes flies TO fall to the floor in stunned
condition. They must then be gathered
up and destroyed.
SPRINKLE YOUR YARD.
Sprinkle chloride of lime or kerosene
over contents Of privy vaults and garbage
boxes. Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered, clean the cans every day, the
boz IS every week. Keep the ground around
garbage boxes clean.
Sprinkle chloride of lime over manure
piles. old paper, old straw and other
refuse of like nature. Keep manure IN
screened pit or vault If possible Manure
should be removed at least every week.
Pour kerosene into the drains. Keep
sewerage system in good order, repair all
leaks Immediately.
Clean cuspidors every day. Keep per
cent solution OF carbolic acid in them all
the time Get rid of sawdust boxes used
as cuspidors-destroy them-they're In
sanitary.
Don't allow dirt to accumulate In cor
ners, behind doors, back of radiators, I'M
der stoves, etc.
Allow no decaying matter Of any sort
to accumulate on or near your premises.
