HOME CANNING

a small canning outfit for
use in preserving fruit and
vegetables for winter. An

fort and health to the family,

surplus to give nice little
income. II is seldom that
canned fruits and vegetables
OF fine quality fail to COM
mand a good price. With
good fall garden one does not
so much feel the need OF
canned vegetables. but there
are a great many OF the ten
der sorts that will not grow
at this season and must be
preserved in cans. Think also
OF the number of fruits that
may be canned. Even where
one has neglected to have n
good orchard there are in
most localities an abundance
OF blackberries, blue berries.
huckleberries. grapes and
cherries growing wild. In
case enough vegetables have
not yet been planted to fur
nish a surplus to can. 1t is a
good time now to make up
the deficiency. Tomatoes,
nap beans, lima beans,
sweet potatoes, and other
vegetables may yet be plant
ed for canning during the
late summer. Any one in
