Hints for Canning Season.

Always screw the fruit Jar covers
on so tight that the old man will have
to use an ak, chisel. kit of burglar
tools and a stick of dynamite to open
them next winter.
Always peel the pineapples before
canning them. Pineapples have a
barbed hide and it always scratches
mans throat to swallow them when
they are in their virgin state. Large
pineapples should be cut up into two
or more pieces, as some pineapples are
too large for a mouthful.
To strain catsup thoroughly. hang
