ALL THE YEAR cANN1NAG sEAeoN


 Dear Corner Sisters: only a few years ago we spoke of the canning sea son as a few months in the summer or early fall. At the present time many farmers wives, and also many villagc housekeepers, have extended this canning period from January first to December thirty-frst, to the mutual enjoyment and Increased good health of the family, also making q very decided decrease in the amount required in the family budget for buying food supplies.
 The war taught us many lessons cold pack canning was one of the most valu- able. During the war when canning schools were held in almost every little town and hamlet, many women became expert vegetable canners and because of their success with these some of them have tried meat canning, with equally good success.
 There is no good reason why these jars should be working only pant time, hence the writing of this grown up fairy tale.
 AS all fairy tales begin, we will say that once upon time a fairy godmofher had a lot of glass jars, jars, just waiting tc be filled with good things to eat, and 1t was the first day of April, and the fairy god-mother commenced her canning with rhubarb. The first weeks of early spring and the merry month of May. gave her cowslEps, dandelions and several oth- CT varieties of greens. Beautiful June came along with luscious strawberries, to help fill those jars. July gave currents, huckleoerries. ras- berries. cherries other berries according to locality. The August month was very generous to the fairy godmother, as many fruits and vegeta- bles were available this month, besides the culls from the poultry flock, these she canned by cutting in pieces, and packing in jars with teaspoon of saN added hot water, an dDrocessed three hours, to be used later for quick chicken pies. or salad when company comes unexpected.
 September is just full of possibilities, all kinds of vegetables canned alone or in combinations. soup mixtures, srcotash corn and tomatoes in one jar to be used as escalioped dish, or for corn chowder
 October brings many fruits and No- ven1ber is a good time to kill the fatter steer, or buy quarter or side of beef. This will be canned as stew beef for meat pies. and soup stock will be put up for future use. Some of the best meat will be roasted and canned and will not lose flavor or goodness in the process Ap- pies will be plenty at this time, so nlince- | meat will be prepared, and a years sup | ply canned.
 December Is usually the month when l hogs are Subchered, and here Is chance ] to put up a nice lot of fresh pork sausage, and even some of the head canned and used for scrapple six months later. /
 January the winter apples will need picking over and those not keeping good had better be put Tn some of those empty Jars. also the last of this month, and the first of February the winter squashol will have to be watched carefully and those canned which show signs of spoil ing.
 And in the windy month of March the fairy god-mother will bake several. biz pans of beans, and can them for those days next spring or summer when sht gets a chance to shop in the city for the day to attend the state federation of wo- mans clubs or maybe to hear some note; lecturer, provided she can hastily pre- pare some thing for dinner or lunch fol those at home
 I assure you that this fairy god-moth CT after twelve months preparation vii not need to miss any good times. or fel enibarrassed when an extra RueSt ol auto load of friends drops in unexpected ly.
