I MADE MY CANNING OUTFIT.
• Thinking., perhaps ther experieoce

writing to tell how I made my 'canning
outfit, I hired a man to build a rock
furnace for me. It took him a half
clay, and he charged 75 cents. This
furnace was about five feet loom three
feet wide, and four feet high. A small

Some object to the furnace because
it takes more heat, therefore more
wood, but When you live In the coun-

is chea or. When you get the furnace
hot itdoesn't take match wood feeethe
root of the day. I exhausted all my
cans in the tub and I used the kettle
Lor cooking only.
I bought 1,000 tins gene, which cost
730. We had 250 glass jars, 60 I can-

I canned 600 cans of peaches from
our orchard, 200 cans of tomatoes
from my club patch, 800 cans of benne,
50 cans of hlackberriee, 50 cans of
pickles tind .aPplee, and 60 cans of
cribbage. The pickles and blackber-
ries were .canned in glass. The glass
cans were cooked on the furnace, just
like the tin, except the water and jars
were heated together.—Ada Kirby.
