TO STONE THE CHERRIES

** ally Tedlotrand Tirana Cherry pie is a toothsome bit, but when, the teeth bite on a stone much of the enjoyment is lost. Most carethey bake the pie, but that is a long and tedious operation unless performed with the assistance of the seeding machine Invented by a Pennsylvania man and shown in the illustration. The machine clamps to the edge of the kitchen table and has attached to it a plate to hold the cherries before the stones are removed. A plunger operates through a ring

that holds the fruit. : The- cherry is laid over this ring and the plunger pressed down, returning by the action of a spring. The downward pressure pushes the pit ahead of the plunger and it drops into a plate below. The good part of the fruit, cleaned much better and quicker than could be done by hand, drops into another dish.

Quicker and Better Than Hand.
