How to Make and
Operate a Cheap Gamer

With so much fruit il the
country it is we'll for the farmer
to prepare for the winter by
canning an abundance of fruit
of all kinds. This is not so much
trouble aftc~ all if one will get
down to business. Most all
housewives know how to can in
glass jars, but few have any
knowledge of using tin cans.
When we'll canned in tin cans
there is no spelling. They keep
for three years.
The following is a cheap home
made Gamer: Take a No. 2 zinc
wash tub to the timer, have
him make a top to fit it, and a
false bottum with holes in it to
rest about half inch above the
true bottom, inside. This is a
first class Gamer. You can use
it on your cooking stove or have
him make you a furnace to fit it,
in which case you use it out
under the shade of a tree or in a
shed. Without a furnace the cost
is: tub 60 cents, top so cents,
bottom Is cents. total 81. IS. Add
to that the cost of two soldering
irons, IS cents, and a pair OF
tongs, Is cents, and you have the
outfit for 81. As. With this out
fit a fairly fast hand can can 200
cans per day. If you want the
furnace with the above add S.. 90,
and you have an outfit for S7,45
that you can carry from orchard
to orchard and can 200 cans per
day.
How To Can Peaches In Tin Cans.
Scald out the cans first. Fill
we'll with nice peaches, pealed
and cut in nice large pieces; fill
with cold clean water to within
on fourth inch of top. Put cap
on after drying top with dry rag.
With a small mop apply solder
ing fluid to the edge of the cap
and groove of can, holding the
cap down tight with one finger,
then with hot soldering iron fol-
low the groove, holding the iron
in one place long enough to melt
the solder on the edge of cap.
Press down on cap all the time
to hold it firmly in place. If it
is wei! done the cap is closed. 1t
is now ready to put in boiler in
water to within one inch OF top
of can; boil five minutes. Take
out and with a drop of solder
close the small opening in center
of cap. Put back in boiler and
boil ten minutes longer. They
are we'll cooked if the boiling is
strong. Take out and plunge in
tub of cold water. If any leakes
you will hear it and can close it
with solder and iron. Place cans
in cool place for winter use.
They will not freeze and burst
as glass cans.
To make a soldering fluid, get
Is cents worth of Muriatic Acid
and put strips Of zinc into it as
long as it burns. Strain through
a cloth and II is ready for usn.

How and Why we Live
So Much in the Past
BY Col. w. L. Clayton

NhAS OthNl A@yt AAy oNAA sAAA'AAAHS
of the long ago and who saw
then and there and how few of
them / could now see, even if all
who survive were before me,
when / met one of my old-time
comrades, who has now passed
the three score mile board. and
| lifted up my hand beft him
and said: Behold how good
and how pleasant it is for breth-
rem to dwell together in unity!
1t is like the precious ointment
upon the head, that ran down
upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard: that ran down to the
skirts of his garment; as the
dew of Hermon, and as the dew
that descended upon the noun
tains of Zion: for then the Lord
commanded the blessing, even
life forevermore. "
And after repeating it | said,
addressing him in my old famil-
lar way, Il have heard you say
that many a time in the long
ago days of old Fulton"
All" he replied. 6 those
were glorious old days. And
we then went on for quite a
while living in the past, talking
of the men and women of those
long past days, those golden days
of the long ago.
And thus it is as we meet our
old time friends almost always.
If you should meet up with a
friend whom you had not seen
for twenty years, and you and
he or she had lived in the same
town OF the same county, and
knew and associated with the
same people, and you had
remained at the old home, while
he had gone west, as westward
the course of empire axes its
way" he would have many in
quiries to make of the long lost
but not forgotten friends.
Z nd had you ever thought
that he thinks of those long ago
friends as they were then. and
not as 5u, Tho have lived by
them and seen the changes as
they come and go? James, and
Perry, and John, and Polk, and
William, and Alfred, and Martha,
and Jennie, and Sallie, and Anna
come to his minds eye and paint
themselves to his memory as he
saw them forty or even fifty
years ago in their splendid young
manhood or the beauty and love-
illness of their young woman
hood, and forgets that even the
gold of his own head has been
turned to silver.
And when | meet my old
friends my longtime friends
and we unconsciously speak of
the past, there rises to our Wis
ions the scenes of our youth and
the old homes where we spent
so many joyous hours, and there
is silhouetted- painted as with a
flash of lightning-on our mem
cries the forms of the grandest
and greatest man and sweetest
and most lovely woman of earth,
and the forms linger and the
vision seems reality. And in
deed is it not real? 1t would be
hard to make us believe in it's
unreality. And we look at the
grand old man as he moves
about the place and directs and
guards its utilities, and the beau
tlful mother as she guides the
beauty of the old home, and
think none such exist today.
But they do and will be the pic
lures on the memory of the men
and women in the long time to
come.
And thus it is we talk of the
long ago, and now why is it so?
You know we can only talk of
the things we know. The past
is in our memory, the present is
hit a shadow. and the future is
