Flitting Up Preserves.
Our sparkling and newsy cotemporary, the
Louisville Pott, ever welcome to our table,
contains the following excellent narrative of
the trials and tribulations attending putting
up preserves. The narrative begins at 3:59
*»■ »nd regularly bulletins the prepara
tions until the hour of 8:30 a. m., when we
quote:
8:30 a. m.—The plums are being put on
while the peaches are being canned, or more
properly, jarred.
8:52 a. m.—Bang! goes the first jar and
bang goes the old lady's tongue. “Was ever
anybody so tormented?” No one answers,
and another jar bursts, just to show how
much a fellow can be tormented.
0:03 a. m.—The whqje stove is covered with
steaming pots and kettles, to say nothing of
a big, brass-lined kettle boiling away in the
yard over a charcoal fire.
9:28 a. m.—The charcoal has run out and
all hands prepare to faint. Susan is sent
post-haste after some, but the post-haste pro
cess aint a success, for she returned to say
the man has just telephoned for a supply.
Meanwhile the pot is kept boiling by break
ing up an old chair, a leaf of the kitchen
table and a shelf from a pantry for firewood.
10:02 a. m.—The charcoal arrives and the
mother of the family halts in her wild ca
reer of destruction. The kitchen table itself
was about to be split up.
10:30 a. m.—Of course, the minister has to
come this day of all days in the year. He is
glad to see the folk so industrious, and says
that Mrs. Minister has just bargained for
her fruit, and is preparing for the annual
stew. He offers jokingly, to help the ladies,
and, by showing how ong rnppo he is on the
delightful occasion, seats himself on the end
of the large table used for canning, jarring,
etc. At the other end of the table are twenty-
four jars of peaches, just from the hands of
the jarrists. The table being unused to such
distinguished meat, gives way, and down
goes minister, jars and all. He departs,
somewhat persuaded that it is one of the
joys of life to smash twenty-four jars of
newly canned peaches all t’once.
12:15 p. m.—Such as can eat, partake of
what there is, but as there aint much, and
as, were they all to pool their appetites the
sumtotal would’t amount to one relish, the
niid&y meal is a failure.
1 p. m.—The peeling of peaches is resumed,
Susan having ordered a few bushels of jars
and a new supply of the patent peaches.
1:29 p. m.—An argument arises as to the
proper length of time to toast the plum jam,
Emily insisting it should be cooked four
hours, while Lily and the mother insist upon
twenty minutes. Bettty chimes in with the
remark that it would be too jam bad if it
were to burn.
2:38 p. m.—Much blackberry and plum
jelly is being housed for the winter in all
sorts of utensils, one being a long unused
shaving cup of papa’s.
3:11 p. m.—A fearful yell breaks on the
midnight air! It is followed by another
more fearfuller, if possible, until horror and
dismay are spread ail over the yard fully an
inch deep. Betty alone preserves her pres
ence of mind, but though she quickly suc
ceeds in fishing the cat out of the great ket
tle of boiling apple butter.it is too late to
save the cat. The poor thing is landed on
the bricks perfectly hairless and too dead'for
any use.
Notk.—Please read “afternoon air” for
“midnight air” in the above soul-stirring
paragraph.
3:33 p. m.—The all-absorbing question is:
What shall be done with the Ave gallons of
apple butter? It is, of course, ruined, but
Betty, with her customary stupidity, asks if
tlie hairs cannot be picked out. This sug
gestion disgusts her sisters, when Betty re
marks, that after all she could not see much
objection to the hair, it would be accepted
as an evidence of the age of the apple but
ter.
4:10 p. m.—It is discovered at this moment
that a kettle of blackberry preserves, huving
been forgotten in the general uproar, has been
burned. This, of course, adds to the pre
vailing gloom.
4:00 p. m.— In silence the jellies and jams
and preserves that have been saved from the
general wreck, are being “put up."
" 5:30 p. m.—The peaches are all up, and the
result is thirty-two jars well filled ; four
busted.
5:35 p. m.—The blackberry jam amounts
to thirteen cups, glasses, mustard bottles and
one shaving cup full.
6:35 p. m.—The blackberry jelly sums up
nineteen filled utensils.
6:40 p. m.—The blackberry preserves being
overdone, aint counted.
7 p. m.—Supper is partaken of, but like
the other meals of the day, it don’t amount
to much. Papa is too sensible to come home
for a while yet. Mamma remains in seclu
sion and desires to know nothing of the
day’s triumphs.
9:15 p. m.—The finishing touches being
put on everything, the work is concluded.
Betty suggests that all hands figure up the
cost of the day’s work. After some labor,
the following statement is made out:
Apples |2 75

11:19 p. m.—Papa comes home, hears what
a delightful time they have had and how
much has been done. He doesn’t quite un
derstand what Betty means when she asks
hint to buy a new cat. The old man being
in a charmingmood, declares he’ll stay home
next time and join in the fun.
12:03 a. m.—All hands to l ed.
