CANNING FACTORY OPENS FOR BUs1-
 NESS.
 Meeting the energetic James Marsh. Monday, the editor was glad to accept the invitation of ride behind "Acha- mar" with MT Marsh, from the store of Ackley, Hatch & Marsh to the fac tory, to look over the new canning plant. which ran off it's first pack. Tuesday. We were introduced to the hustling and capable manager, Phineas Clark, and shown about the plant. The writer was delighted with what he saw, and believes it will be fine thing for the farluers of New Milford. MT Clark introduced us in turn to Pope, the processor, a genial gentleman, who has had many years experience at the business. In a can- ming factory the processor is really the whole thing, for the most particular work in canning foods successfully is what is known in the factory as the process, and for which responsible man known as the processor is an ab- solute necessity. He was once SUD- posed to have locked up in him great secrets without which canning could not be properly done. His importance, however, is not diminished in the slightest degree by the disclosure of the principles of his processes, for his peculiar and "mysterious" power rests n his experience and good judgment n performing his particular work. Processing simply means the cooking 'f the canned goods at such a degree 'f temperature and for such a length f time that the contents of the can VIII be effectually sterilized and cooked ender. The length of time varies with the article being canned and the emperature under which the boiling akes place. The closed top kettle is | n iron chest or retort into which the team may be introduced under pres are, and thus raise the temperature the boiling water above the normal oiling point. After the filled cans re placed in this kettle, it is run full water to the upper blow-of pipe, ,and he lid is then bolted securely. AS team is being introduced the upper iow-off pipe is left partially open un- Il the water boils or the thermometer sgisters PIP degrees Fahrenheit. The low-off pipe is then closed tightly and he safety valve set to a temperature 240 degrees Fahrenheit. The high r the degree of heat carried the short P is the time necessary for processing. n the second floor MT Clark showed
