COLUMN. Oxford Democrat, Paris. Maine.
CANNING OF VEGETABLES.


All vegetables are better when cooked
in the jars; in fact, doubt if any one
can cook corn or peas in a kettle and
put them into jars, and have them keep.
See that the jars are washed thoroughly,
the rubbers adjusted, the lids put into
cold water and brought to u boiling
point. Corn must be freshly gathered,
cut from the cob as soon as possible,
packed into the jars, the rubbers adjust
ed, the tops put on loosely. Stand the
jars in wash boiler, the bottom of
which has been protected with crack or
strips of wood. Surround them partly
with cold water; cover the boiler, bring
to boiling point, and boil continuously
for four hours. Lift one jar at time,
and fasten on the top at once.
PEAS.
Select very young peas, before the
starch is developed. Shell them; pack
them into the jars; fill the jars with
cold water; adjust the rubbers; put on
the tops loosely. Surround them with
cold water; bring to a boiling point, and
boil for three hours after they begin to
boil.
Young lima beans, string beans, beets,
small turnips and carrots may be canned
in precisely the same way, allowing
three hours for the young lima beans,
and an hour and half for each of the
other vegetables.
ASPARAGUS.
Wash the asparagus; throw it into
boiling water, and boil rapidly for ten
minutes. Put it into the jars heads up;
fill the jars with cold water; adjust the
rubbers, and cook for one hour and a
half; fasten as directed in the directions
for canning fruit.
TO CAN TOMATOES WHOLE FOR SALAD.
Selec plump, small, round tomatoes.
Scald t en- by putting them into wire
basket and plunging them down once or
twice in boiling water. Remove the
skins and put the tomatoes into the
jars. Add teaspoonful of salt; fill the
jars with cold water; adjust the rubbers;
put the jars in the boiler as directed in
preceding receipts; boil for ten minutes
after they reach the boiling point.
Tomatoes, being acid, should be peel
ed, stewed in porcelain-lined kettle,
and filled into the jars through wide
mouthed funnel as directed for fruits.
Tomatoes are the most easily kept of all
vegetables.

PRESERVING THE LAreE FRUITS

To preserve peaches pare them and
remove the stones. Throw the peaches
into cold water to prevent discolOration.
When you have sufficient to cover the
bottom of a porcelain-lined kettle,
weigh, and to each pound allow two
thirds of pound of sugar. Put the
sugar into the kettle; on top of it the
peaches. Stand over slow fire until
they reach the boiling point; then cook
gently until they are transparent. Lift
them carefully and put them into
tumblers or jars. Boil down the strip;
cover over and seal.
All fruits may be preserved in the
same fashion, using from half pound
to one pound of sugar, according to the
fruit.

WANTS QUESTION DIVIDED.

9nst 6n1s question De divided In the way say:
OF DR.. Mann and then the question Of the mar
gin as distinctive from the interlining method
and then the other question following.
The Rev. DIR. Kim arose to a point of
order. He said 1t substantially repe-
tition of the resolution OF the committee for
which Dr. Mann's was an amendment That
being the case, Dr. Spalding's suggestion was
out of order
Chairman Lindsay ruled that DR.. spalding' s
amendment not strictly speaking an
amendment to Dr. Crawford's amendment.
DR.. Spalding later asked DR.. Mann II he
had any objection to dividing this question.
things. He stated that the only action before
the house was to allow the use of certain
readings in the public reading of the lessons
OF the Old and New Testaments Nothing, he
stated. is said as to where they being
printed printed or in wi What ,ia manner they are being
could not be divided
The Rev. DR.. Percival H. Hickman of Colo
rado followed and said:
II submit that when the version of 1911
was presented to the Anglican church there
was no resolution, no canon, motion Of
uniformity which ever established the author
ity of that version. further submit that in
asmuch we are under obligation what
ever to the use of the authorized version at
the lectern. where it is not definitely. clearly
and precisely the word of God, l submit that
it is an outrage that any priest should be
asked on Christmas morning to read on one
of our two great festivals the worst translated
lament. I further submit that inasmuch as
there Is no authorized version it is in the
nature Of a limitation of liberty that 1
should be asked to accept compromise which
is the nature of this marginal reading report
a compromise which challenges the specific
objection and the only tremendously weghty
objection which lies to the revised version.
The chief objection against the revised YER
sion is simply this: that the most erninen Mt
body of scholars that the Anglican church
for the Greek on which that revised transIa-
tion Is. based. I submit that this marginal
