Canning Fruit Quickly

%I have no doubt your way of can ming fruit is the best, but I am so busy looking after my home and spending most of the day in my husbands S store that I should ever be able to have canned fruit if I did it in that way. I wash the jars and lids care- fully, rinse well and turn upside down to dry. When the fruit Is ready take up the jar, fit on the rubber, stand the jar in pan with about one inch of water in it. Then I put a silver ta blespoon in the jar, fill up to the brim with fruit, screw on the cover as tightly as possible, and they are ready for the shelf I never have had any spoil. This may help someone who is rushed with other work
 MAMIE K"
 May we ask what is implied in the words when the fruit is ready?' I take it to mean that the fruit is boiling hot and left on the fire. To my way of thinking the jars should be likewise hot. I infer from the precautionary use of the silver spoon that you do not think this necessary. And is the water an inch deep in the pan hot or cold? l think it must be the former, or the jars would crack in spite of the spoon when the boiling fruit goes in. Will you not write to us specific informa- tion upon these heads? If there be simpler and better way of canning fruit than mine let us have it by all means. None of us is too old to learn something new every day. I count that day lost in which 1 do not pick up seed pearl of information

Shenherd Pie

Would this recipe be of help to any one? think it is good way to get rid of leftovers: Shepherd pie-Select all the bits of meat that have accumulated; chop them not too fine and heat them in vari- ous kinds of gravies (also leftovers), add pepper and salt to taste, with gener- ous pinch of poultry seasoning. Some- times, not always, I add one or two onions, chopped fine. If preferred. you may add a cup of cooked rice. Line a baking pan with mashed potatoes, set in the oven to harden slightly, pour in the filling, cover with mashed potatoes, dot with bits of butter, and brown in a hot oven. MRS. w. H. B." T
 It koes without saying that the exceE lence of this dish depends largely upon the cooks skill in seasoning. Given a. fair endowment in this line and the result will justify the assertion of our member that it is a good way of disposing of left overs. Not scrap of bread, a vegetable, or bit of meat should go into the garb- age pail. It is plain from her recipe that cur correspondent understands the art of utilizing these successfully.
