a heroic fight to keep his cash box out Of tho

PRESERVATION OF rEn1snABLE FOODS


PRESERVATION OF rEn1SnABLE FOODS.
Ihe process of canning fresh fruit, vc.e.
tables, fish and meat has prevented about
half the amount of these articles annually
produced from going to waste and rendered
their preservation practical for years. Cars
and vessels fitted up as rcfri.c,tors now
carry food products classed as pcrishablc
round the world. We can dine on fresh sal
mon caught in the Columbia river ten ycal..
ago. green turtle captured in the West Indies
at the same time, and pineapples raised in
South America.

Grain producing territory large enough to
form nn empire has Just been brought into

of supplying all the people in continental
Europe with grain. a like statement is

first settlers in California thought the most
of the soil would produce nothing. Tho
