I The newer methods of canning are linnell sidpltr iz do, take lass time and the results ar? always satisfactory provided the fruit be fresh and the cans well sterilized. Many people believe they can use old rubbers the second year and trust to luck that the fruit will keep. It never pays to risk a can of fruit which has taken . time and money, at the price of a can I rubber. Another point too often over looked in canning is to see that the Jeans aro thoroughly clean. Simply ?washing them in soap suds, rinsing 'them and then when they are to be ,used give them a careless rinsing, is not enough. Cans that have been well washed should be put into a pan ,of cold water that covers them, tops as well as cans, and brought to the boiling point and boiled for a few .minutes, then when used, carefully handled, not to put the fingers inside the cans or top. These may seem fussy directions, but'to insure success in keeping fruit the most scrupulous care must be observed. The rubbers themselves should be dipped quickly linto the hot water just before they are put on to Insure against any foreign matter getting into the fruit ! Any small fruit which can be well crushed and then mixed with nearly equal bulk or sugar, allowed to stand lover night until the sugar is thorough ly dissolved, then canned in sterilized cans, put into a cool place, the best ?ls the back part of the ice chest, will keep indefinitely and may be used for so many delicious desserts. Not the , least appreciated ls the short cake. For those who do not tak9 ice cr have it to use, a cold cellar has been proved equally as good to keep such fruit in. Keep it from the light Another Method of Canning.-Place the? fresh fruit In sterilized jars, fill full, put on rubbers and covers and place in a broiler of boiling hot water. Cover the cans to a depth of four Inches, let stand well covered with boiler cover, blankets or carpets .twenty-four hours or until the water ls cold. Take out cans, see that the w tops are perfectly tight and set away in the cellar. The free use of soups and fresh vegetables ls wise for those persons who have a tendency to overindulg ence In eating.-Jordan. NEW WAYS WITH OLD FRUITS. The most satisfactory way of serv ing fruits is fresh, and as simply as possible, but for variety we enjoy something un common or new. Pineapple Dainty. Decorate a mold with some jelly. Cut pineap ple into dice, enough to fill a cup Put through a sieve pineapple to make Half a cupful. Dissolve two and a fourth teaspoonfuls of powdered gela tin in one cupful of hot water. Strain lt into one cupful cf warm custard, add the dice and puree of pineapple, one teaspoonful of rose extract and sugar to taste. Mix all together and lastly stir in one cupful of whipped cream. When the mixture is almost setting pour into a mold. When firm, turn out and serve with whipped sweetened cream. Blackberry Ice Cream.-Dissolve two and one-fourth tablespoonfuls of powdered gelatine in one and one *half cupfuls of hot water. Scald four cupfuls of milk, add one cupful of sugar, the dissolved gelatine, one ta blespoonful of lemon juice and two cupfuls of whipped cream. Freeze un til mushy. Crush one quart of ripe blackberries through a sieve and add them to the hah'-frozen mixture and finish freezing. Remove the dasher, repack and allow to ripen for two hours. Serve in sherbet glasses. Strawberry Gateau.-Bake a round sponge cake, cut off the top when cold and fill with nice fresh strawberries, and heap with sweetened whipped cream, cover with cut strawberries and serve well chilled. Pear Fritters.-Cut some ripe pears into thick slices, sprinkle with sugar and prepare the batter as follows: Take one cupful of sifted flour, the yolks of two eggs, one-half cupful of cold water, one tablespoonful of olive oil and two tablespoonfuls of sugar; mix into a smooth paste, add the whites of the three eggs, beaten stiff, and a pinch of salt the last thing. Have the fat smoking hot, dip slices of pear into the batter and fry quickly. Wher brown dust with sugar and serve with a sauce made from the Juice of the pears with a little but ter and flour cooked together for thickening. JW FACTS ABOUT POTASH Wade No Perceptible Difference When Used for Wheat. Exact ReevHe Not Yet Obtainable Lim* in Wood Ashes Has Marked Effect on Ali Plants of the Leguminous Family. (By A. J LEGG.) There l? an impression among the farmers generally that a fertilizer should fe* especially rich In potash. On* icfaife off this ls no doubt from the marked effects that wood ashes have ea wost soils. A liMrxal application of wood ashes shows ?a improvement in crop produc tion on almost any soil. This is usually attributed to the potash contained in the ashes. An analysis of the ashes usually shows from four to five times as much lime as potash in the ashes, since wood ashes usually contain from I The Nine-Bundle Shock With Single five to eight per cent of potash, 85 to 40 per cent of lime, and about two per cent of phosphoric acid. The marked effect that wood ashes has on almost all plants of the legu minous family seems to indicate that the lime in the ashes has more influ ence in making the ashes valuable as a fertilizer than the potash does. Last year our fertilizer dealer put in a bag of fertilizer containing ten per cent of phosphoric acid and six per cent of potash at the same price as what I was buying, which was a 15 per cent available phosphoric acid goods, on condition that I would use it on wheat and compare them side by side. I put the bag of fertilizer, which con tained the potash, in my grain drill, and when lt ran out I continued with the superphosphate containing 14 per cent available phosphoric acid, with out changing the quantity per acre. There was no perceptible difference in the growth of the wheat during the growing season. The wheat ripened by July 25. There was no difference in the time of ripening. I could see little, if any, difference between the wheat with and that without the pot ash. I showed the wheat to several farm ers, and all agreed that if there was any difference between the two plants, that it was in favor of the wheat where the 15 per cent phosphoric acid without potash was applied. I have not threshed, and cannot give exact results, but it is a plain case that the $3 per ton which I would have had to pay for the potaah would have been a clear loss so far as results on the wheat crop were concerned. Both kinds of fertilizer were used, so that both plats extended over a dark loamy soil, with some sand at one end and a rather stiff yellowish clay at the other end. It is usually considered that a loamy, sandy soil is not as well supplied with potash as a clay soil, yet the potash did not show any improvement over the other fertilizer In the loamy soil.
