 I have been asked especially about sating vegetables and while we do not use this method of curing a great deal the rules I give have been thoroughly tried out ard are dependable. The kraut recipe is particularly good and quite unlike the salty and malodrous mess usually served under that name.
 If possible use a stone jar for kraut. Use firm, fresh cabbage and cut it evenly fine, throwing out all hard and stringy pieces. For six gallon jar use a scant pint of salt. Put a layer of cabbage in the jar, then a sprinkling of salt, more cab bage, and more salt till the jar is nearly full. Wash large cabbage leaves and cover the kraut, and over them place clean cloth and large plate weighted down with clean, flat stone. Set in a dry place of medium temperature and twice a week remove the weight, cloth and cabbage leaves and wash them well and recover the kraut. This will prevent the scum which usually rises on kraut. Fer mentation will be even and the quail ity excellent. This method is especi- ally for home use; the best methods of "krauting" vegetables in quantities will be given later.
 Salting String Beans.
 String and snap beans, parboil as directed for drying, put them in a thin cheese cloth sack and place the sack in jar or small clean keg and cover with a good brine. More beans may be added till the keg is full. To use these beans take out the needed quantity, wash them well, pour boil ing water over them, and let them soak till sufficiently freshened. Pour off the water, boil in fresh water till tender and season as for canned beans. They are very good.
 When We Buy and Sell.
 The market of fruit and vegetables has been exceptionally good this summer and at present there is good demand for any thing of the sort m i Prescott. The canning season IS on and the demand should be greater rather than less, for already mer- chants know that the price of Cali fornia canned fruits is soaring like balloon and Prescott merchants in position to know say that the best grade of fruit in 2A-pound cans vii probably sell for sixty cents a can by early winter.
 It is worth while to us all to put up all the fruit we can get and the supply of jars at the B.-B.
