HINT FOR CANNING TIME

Economy Is Found by Practical Housewife In Providing New Rubbers Each Beason. It will be found much more economical when canning fruit or vegetables to always provide new rubbers each season, for by doing this one need not exert oneself when opening the jars, as the robber can be caught with a knife edge and tom out when one wishes to open them. It not only saves the ekertlon, but saves the jars from cracking once ever so often when in the act of opening, making the contents unfit to use on account of the danger of there being tiny pieces of glass in them, and also it averts the necessity of turning up the edge of the lid with a knife, thus making it liable to admit air at the next season’s filling. New rubbers make a sure success, but old ones are a gamble. Tear them oft when opening the jar and the lid will come off easily.
