CANNING OF VEGETABLES.
Although the present mcthod of pre
serving fruit by -excluding air from
the vessel in which it is kept, is com
paratively new to modern housekeep
ers, it is by no means a new art, as
antiquarians, in their researches
among ancient ruins have proved that
fruit was preserved in similar man
ner by housewives thousands of years
ago. In rhese days of cheap canned
goods a great many consider it un
wise to can vegetables while others
allow large quantities of peas, beans
and other vegetables to go to waste
because they db not understand the
preserving of the same.
The canning of vegetables is similar
to the canning ofi fruit. One should
bear in mind the exclusion of air, and
the having of everything used thor
oughly sterilized, is one thing need
ful to complete success. Although
properly speaking tomatoes should be
classed as a fruit, they are generally
considered as a vegetable, and used
as such. Many ladies have said it
was impossible for them to can toma
toes and after repeated failures have
given it up.
In the first place the tomatoes muse
be perfectly ripe and of good quality.
I find that a very acid tomato is hard
er to keep than a sweeter variety.
Have the lids of your bottles thor
oughly clean by boiling in water in
which you have dissolved three table
spoons to a quart of baking sod.
The jars must also be perfectly sterile.
Then pour boiling water over the to
matoes and remove the skins, quart
er and cut out all green, hard cores,
(be sure to do this). Put fruit in pre
serving kettle and boat slowly to boil
ing point and boil ten minutes, fill
jars to overflowing and quickly, screw
on the tops, turn them up side down
to sec if they are air tight. They may
also be steamed) in the bottles. Cook
one hour.
String beans may be boiled until
tender, filled into jars, fastened down
tightly and fobiled two hours or cook
ed until tender, filled to ovur flowing
into hot jars using as little Water as
possible, sqrewed down tightly and
cooled. Peas may be canned in the H
same way as beans. "
The best corn I ever ate was can- n
ncd by Mrs. Secgmillcr of Richfield. m
It was gathered fresh and cut from Jt
the cobs .nd pressed tightly into jars.
It is very important to have it packed M
tightly. Lids were screwed on and fl
then the bottles placed in water and J
brought to the boiling point and boil- 1
ing three hours. m
Rhubarb may be canned by rcmov- ll
ing the skin, cutting into short lengths B
packing as closely as possible in jars
and filling the jars to overflowing !
with pure, cold water. No cooking is :
required for the preservation of. this j
plant. Of course the jars must be
perfectly ?ir tight. j

THE FARMER'S WIFE.
1
Do you know why farmers' wives
arc the happiest, most contented,
youngest looking women in the com- ,i
munity? Well, here is the solution.
The farmicr's wife shares her hus- j
band's .business in every respect. She
knows how much he gets from his I
hogs; whether he is going to put the.
northeast field into wheat or corn,
whether he is going to let the south
ten acres go to pasture this season,
when he gets a good price for his
grain, and how many loads of eobs
' they can spare to sell. Every root
and branch of the farmicr's business is
known and shared by his wife. She
has her own individual branch .of
business for which she gets her own
individual money. She keeps what
breed of chickens she most admires.
She sells her eggs, makes her butter,
and buys her own things with her own
money or salts at down in the family
treasury as her inclinations tend'. The
farmer's wife is the farmer's partner
in business as well as domestic af
fairs. Therefore she is contented;
she io busy, very busy; every mo
ment of her day counts and is spent
where it is most needed. Therefore
she is happy. She drives to town with
her husband and sells- her butter or
cream or eggs as he sells his wheat
or corn or hogs. She is independent;
therefore she canes nothing about in
dependence, and she remains young.
She is doing her share toward that
comfortable retired1 life that a farmer,
