Care of Fruit Cans.

Most persons are very reglectful re.
garding their treatment of glass fruit
cans after the fruit has been removed.
| The usual method 10 to stow them away
unwashed In some dark "scuttle hole''
where they never see daylight until the
next canning season. They are then dug
out from their hiding, scrubbed, boiled
and otherwise lsmbasted In an attempt
to rid them of mold, dirt, must and dead
insects.
In most cases when the fruit cans are
opened, the caps are dumped into an
out .of- the.way box. with no attention
given as to which jars they fit. Every
woman who has ever done any canning
will tell You that not every cap will fit
every jar. So, a. long as the caps are In
good shape, each jar should keep its own
individual cap.
My method OF caring for glass cans is
such an improvement over the above
way, that 1t is certainly worthy q trial;
and one trial Ia all the proof required.
As soon as open can Of fruit for
the table, wash both can and Gap In
hot water. At this time, before the
juice hardens, 1t is easily washed. After
this I rinse thoroughly with boiling
water, and set in oven or any convenient
place to dry. then put small piece
of paper into the can, fasten cap back on
and set 1t away. The time required to
do this need not exceed five minutes.
The object In putting paper in can Is to
prevent 1t from becoming musty.
The next season when I open the cans,
they are as fresh and sweet az they we're
the day put them away. never put
the rubber ring back on the empty can.
Once 10 oil these rings should be used
so as soon as the can Is opened / burn
the ring.
might add that when opening q can
of the screw top variety, never insert a
knife blade between cap and rubber. II
knife 10 used at all always begin under
the rubber and If necessary cut out part
of the ring. In this way the danger of
injuring flange on cap Is lessened.
