Canning Fruits and Vegetables.

For sometime the subject of canneries
has been attracting the attention of our
people, They have recognized the advan-
tages of saving the surplus of their truck
and fruit crops, and, when the markets
get Improbable, of putting itin cans and
disposing of it at their leisure.
Duringthe past months from time to
time we have urged the Importance and
necessity of canneries. We have advised
the establishing of cooperative canneries,
i. e. for the people of the differentsections
to club together and put up these canner-
les; by this plan the burden would not be
heavy for any one.
For the benefit of those who are still in
terested in the subject, we publish the fol
lowing communication from Hon. j. M.
Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture:
have your letter of the 10th inst. ask
ing for publications on Canning Fruits.
This department has issued no special
publication on the subject, but a briefno
tice of the industry was printed in the an
nual report for 1878, at page 502, but
the departments supply OF thisis exhaust
ed Presuming that the information is
wanted to guide in starting factory,
append few particulars, which may be
serviceable to you.
OUTFIT FOR CANNING.
The outfit required for canning purposes
is svery simple, consisting ola large wooden
vat, in which water can berapidly made to
boil by means of steam. This vat is pro-
vided with basket made of small iron,
hung by a tackle to crane. This basket
is to hold the cans, and is so arranged
that it may be promptly lowered into or
raised from the water The cans are
made on the place by expert tin-wOrkers
They have at the top a circular opening
to admit the fruit to be canned, which is
provided with a cover or cap that may
be quickly soldered on.
Whatever contrivance will facilitate the
pairing or otherwise prepare the fruits,
etc., are provided, large share OF this
work is done by hand. The cans are
filled with fruit, shaken down as solid as
possible, and then filled up with weak
syrup or other fluid, which drives out all
the air.
The next step is to boil the cans in
water for a shorter or longer time. The
iron basket is filled with the cans, and
lowered into the water in the tank, where
the boiling is continued for a few minutes,
or for several hours more or less, accord
ing to the kind under treatment. Each
fruit or vegetable, in order that it may
keep, requires to be 'processed,'' as the
boiling is called, for a given time; how
long, appears to be the chief secret of the
business. In some cases the article is
processed the required time and allowed
to cool, when it is finished. In Othel
cases (green corn, for eXample), the caps
of the cans are provided with a vent hole,
and with this left open they are boiled for
two hours.
This is a general idea of the method, in
which there is variety of detail. 1t is a
trade that must be learned, and cannot
at once be picked up. 1t twould be hazard
GUS to engage in it on large scale with
out the assistance of a competent and
skilled foreman.

The practical production Of the diamond
by artificial means has been the theme Of .
great deal Of thought and q good many ex
periments. but up to this time it has eluded
all the forts Of the experimen,ers, though
carbon crystals closely approaching the gem
have more than once been secured, while
many persons still think it is merely matter
81 time. and not long one at that, when
this secret will have been w,enched from
nature. In some recent experiments on the
effect Of high temperature and pressure or
carbon, by c. A. Parsons (7on,naiof Chem.
seal Soeiety), carbon rods were surrounded
by benzne, parafhn, irescle, chloride o,
bisulphide Of carbon, and submitted 10 grea,
pressure in hydraulic press, the rods being
meantime heated by passing an electric
current through them. In some cases q con
siderable amount Of gas was evolved, and q
soft, fnable deposit Of carbon produced. In
no case has the density Of the carbon in.
creased. When the rod was surrounded
with silica the latter fused, and the rod was
largely converted inio graphite; the same
occurred with hydrated alumina in lime or
magnesia. the rod being rapidly destroyed
with evolution Of gas. With layers Of coke.
lime. and silica, the rod was rapidly corroded.
and was found after the experiment to be
coated with q coke.like layer Of great hard.
ness, sufficient to scratch rock crystal and
ruby and TO wear down the cut facets Of
diamond It resists the action Of q mixture
u hydroduoric and nitric acids.
