Canning fruit i a very efficient
muaiia el prcw rvini? It in a whole
aiune condition, but it ia a proceu
which di'iiiaiiiln careful tnariBgcment
lo make it r. aiieceaa. Tin cans are
aonietimo. uaed, but gluaa jaia are now
so cheap and are so much better that
they Hhouhl always be preferred. In
the end they are cheaper, an they last
much lotigiT than tin. Tin rarm ar
liable to injure the flavor alo. There
an acveral excellent kimla of fruit
jars on tlio market.
In canning fruit two things must be
most carefully attended oi failure is
cei I ii in :
First The fruit must be sufficiently
cked.
Hecond The air must be excluded
and the can hermetically sealed.
1 be best fruit should be selected and
that which is not overripe. It should
kept as clean as possible, so that
little or no washing will be required,
as this is iuiuiious to many fruits.
Pick over carefully and wash quickly,
if washing is necessary. Either steam
oi stew, adding as little water as pos
sibleand as little sugar as will suffice
to make tho sauce palatable, bweet
fruits require none at all, and none is
necessary to the preservation of the
fruit. Steaming is rather preferable
to slewing or boiling, as the fruit is
less broken and its natural flavor is
bolter preserved. A tsircelaiu lined
kel la should be ustnl, as all kinds of
metal kettles arc likely to be corroded
by the acids of the fruit.
Tho fruit need not be cookel so
much that it will fall to pieces, but it
hould be so thoroughly scalded that
i v. ry part of it will be subjected lo a
high degree of heat, in order that all
of the genus from which fermentation
originates may bo destroyed. Simply
heating is not sufjicieiit.
Some kinds of fruit require longer
cooking than others. The length of
lime varies about as follows : Boil
cherries five minutes; raspberries,
blackberries and tie currants, six to
eight minutes ; halved peaches, goose
berries and grapts, eight to ten nun-
uU s; sliced pineapple and
quince
and halved iiears, iiltecn to
twenty
minutes; strawberries, thirty minutes;
tomatoes, thirty minutes lo two hours.
While the fruit is cooking prepare
the cans in which it is to be placed.
Thoroughly scald them so that there
may be in them nothing that will in
duce decay. To prevent breaking
when tho hot fruit ia placed iu tile can,
it may be heated by pouring into it
hot water and quickly shi.kmg it, so
that all parts may be heated equally,
or the can may be placed in cool wa-1
ter and gradually heated lo the
roouisite degree. Dry heat is equally
ellicit nt, and may lie applied by keep
ing the cans in a moderately hot oven
while the fruit iseooking. Some place
the hot can mam a folded towel wet in
cold water, which coois me uouom anu
so prevents cracking. This method is
very convenient.
When tho fruit is properly cooked
and the cans are in readiness, first
place in the can a quantity of juice, to
that, as the fruit is put in, no vacant
place will be left for sir, which lseonie-
times quite troublesome when this
precaution is not taken. Then add
the fruit. If any bubbles ol air chance
to l loft still, work them out with a

The booklets farmer is a one-horse
farmer with a life-long ambition to
gain a reputation for wearing a dirty
shirt.
He will alu rm the neighiiorhood by
gelling up two hours before day, then
sit around and not go to work till after
sun up.
He will complain of hard times, then
tear his pants climbing a fence where
a gate ought to bo.
He will pay $:i for a new btidle,
then let the calf chew it all to pieces
before Sunday.
He will get his neighbors to help
him in getting a cow out of a bog, then
let her die for want of attention.
Strx'k will get in and destroy his
crop at a place in hi fence that he
has been putting off repairing for six
months.
Ho will talk all day Sunday about
what he knows about farming, then
ride around the neighborhood Monday
looking for seed potatoes.
He will go in his thirtsleeves on a
cold day to show what he can stand,!
then return home at night and occupy
two-thirds of the fireplace till bedtime.
He will ridicule the mechanism of a
cotton planter, and then go out and
mash his thumb nailing a board on the
fence.
He will go to town on Saturday and
come back with 50 cents worth of cof
fee, a paper of pins, a dollar's worth of
chewing tobacco and his hide full of
whisky.
He is economical; economy is his
fort. He will save ten cents worth of
axle greate and ruin the spindles of a
70 wagon.
He won't subscribe for a newspaper,
but will borrow one from his friend,
and his wife or daughters will forget
that it was borrowed and paste it upon
the wall.
And it may be added that be will
spend a dollar treating a set of black
guards and loafers, and let his wife
a.id daughters go in rags for want cf
50-cent calico dresses, which he is too
poor to pay for.
He will leave his plow in the furrow
and corn unplanted to go to town to
hear a political speech, and spend the
balance of the day telling what a
'InW his candidate is, and what a
fool and rascal the other tarty has
nominated.
He is "wiser in his own conceit than
ten men who can. give a reason," and
"though yon bray him in a mortar
like wheat, his foolishness will not de
part from him." 1
Mrge r Mauall rarsM,
The question occasionally comes np
whether large or small farms are re
ally best for the community. In this
country there can hardly be a ques
tion. It i true that on large farms,
well conducted, the crops are raised,
the stock kept and Uie animal and
their products marketed at much lower
cost of production than upon small
ones, provided the small farmer reckons
his own time and labor and that ol
his family at the same price which the
large farmer or company pays for the
same kind of labor. Nevertheless he
regard his own independence as worth
a good deal to him, and so it is. This
independent feeling this being "his
own boss" costs him just the projxir-
t:onate dillerence betweeu his profits
and those of the larger farmer.
The community is, however, bene
fitted by having many of these inde
pendent, hard-working citizens in place
of a few larger corporations employ-
ing mostly single men, and but few
men with families. Every well to do
small farmer, who by his hard work
and good business habits is improving
his condition year by year, is ambi
tious to own more land, to hire more
help and to increase his profits. When
his weak or shiftless neighbor gets into
difficulty he loans him money and
takes a mortgage; thus the bigger fish
eat up the smaller fry, and the tend'
ency to larger farms is inevitable.
If things go wrong on Hie big farms
they are broken np, sold in small par
ticles and small farms again come into
possession.
