HOME CANNING Every farmer should have a small cunning outfit for use in preserving fruit and vegetables for winter. An abundance of canned products of this sort adds comfort and health to the family, and often there is enough surplus to give a nice little Income. It is seldom thut canned fruits and vegetables of line quality fall to command a good price. With a good fall garden one does not so much feel the need of canned vegetables, but there are a great many of the tender sorts that will not grow at this season and must be preserved In cans. Think also of the number of fruits that may be canned. Even whcro one has neglected to have a good orchard there are in most localities an abundance of blackberries, blue berries, huckleberries, grapes and cherries growing wild. In pti u<? MirniL'h VAifAtnlilpu hnt-n not yet been planted to furnlah a surplus to can. It la a good time now to make up the deficiency. Tomutoen, . nap beans, lima beans, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables may yet be planted for canning durlnK the late summer. Any one Interested In canning should write the Horticultural Division of Clemson College for Circular No. 27, "Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetai bles." ?
