Much of the success Of the canning OF
fruits depends upon the arrangement Of

serious matter. If possible the closet

other purpose than preserving. spoons,
forks, knives, swimmers, dippers. tunnels.
Jelly bags, fruit press, strainers. scales,

brown sugar for spiced fruits. Heat the
sugar for jellies in the oven before ad-

minors. Chief Tourtillotte explained
the circumstances of the case for which
Urbanski was bound over for selling
