RELATIVES LIVE HERE.
Fireman E. C. Boggs, Who Lost His
Life Friday, Known Here.

Saturday the Herald called atten-
ton to the fact that Midshipman
Dave Howard of this city was an Of
ficer on the cruiser Tennessee, which
was the scene of an explosion last
Friday. 1t now develops that one of
the victims of that boat had relatives
in this city. Fireman E. C. Boggs,
who lost his life, was a brother of
Mrs. Otto Hanks, who lives in West
Palestine, and was a nephew of Mrs.
]. c. Johnson, also of this city. The
relatives received message Satur-
day notifying them of the accident
and of the death of their relative.
Fireman Boggs went to the war
boat from Woodlawn, Alabama. The
sympathies of the people here are ex-
tended to the relatives of the young
man.

In canning for home use, one of the

would be sufficient For this one
would need Gaping copper-two

pair of can tongs. Do not get the
smallest coppers, as L did and have
to get larger. If canning on a large
scale, it would pay to get a gasoline
heater and pair of full circle cap
ping steels.
The cap is the cover of the can and
should be bought with solder rims.
The Gaping copper is curved to fit
the cap, and is used for soldering it to
the can. The tipping copper is the
ordinary pointed affair, and used to
close the tiny hole in the cap after

| have had for the work. A little
more on stormy days would have been
better, but that's one of the comforts,
not necessities. With a clear defini-
ton of the following terms in mind,
you will be ready to proceed intelli-
gently with the actual canning:
Definition of Terms.
Gaping is merely soldering the cap
onto the can. The groove into which
the cap fits must be absolutely clean
and dry and the contents of the can
must never touch the top. Leave a
space of one-fourth inch at least. Put
the cap in place and pass brush, wet
in the flux, around the groove, being
careful not to use too much as it re-
quires but very little. Use hard
wood stick about like lead pencil to
hold the cap in place, putting the
pointed end thereof in the center hole.
Pass the hot, timed copper slowly
around the cap and hold in place with
the stick until the solder hardens.
Tipping is closing the hole in the
cap after the exhaust Wipe the top
of the can, apply acid as before, and
place the point of the tipping copper
in the hole and touch it with a piece
Of bar solder, twisting the copper
slightly as you take it out. The small
triangular strips of solder are hand
lest to use. However, if these cannot
be procured, melt the large bars and

where, he got them all and wanted

where, he got them all and wanted
more.
My biggest mistake was my first one
hiring help. My second, too small
soldering coppers. Circumstances con-
spired to prevent my making another
and greater one, of selling my small
Gamer and getting a larger one. If
can raise fruit and vegetables of diff
ferent canning seasons and keep this
machine running the greater part of
the time, | shall be satisfied with the
returns and make more than to hire
help and rush things with a bigger
machine. Mine would cost now about
SIS, the cans 500 to $25 per thousand.
My working capital the first year was
about $25. Last year it was the can
ner and $40.
Of course canned stuff is slower
sale in summer and fall, but you can
clear a good profit on it then and
turn your money over two or three
times in one season. To hold for win
ter and spring you must have clean
storage room. A small capital is no
great hindrance 1t will force you to
go cautiously, much as small boy on
his first trip after the COWS when
he sheds his shoes and stockings in
the spring. More necessary than
much capital is much pure water

pour into molds of paste board cut in
2 IL or 8 inch wide strips and about
1 foot long and bent to form a right
angle. This is far better than using
the large bars.
To exhaust, the can is capped and
placed in the vat in clean boiling
water, which comes up two-thirds the
length of the can. This allows the air
to pass out of the little hole in the
cap.
Processing simply means cooking or
sterilizing the food in the can. The
can is immersed completely in boiling
water after tipping and if any hole
has been left in the soldering it will
Immediately show by tiny air bubbles
rising to the surface. Remove the
can from the vat and remedy the de-
feet. Sometimes one escapes you and
will hear it whistle as it cools after
removed from the vat When taken
from the vat the cans will be bulged
at both ends if there are any leaks.
When cooled, the ends will be flat,
as at first. Watch them and if any
whistle or begin to bulge, open the
little vent hole, process again and
use, but never seal.
Blanching means to boil quickly in
water. This is done by putting the
vegetables in a cloth bag and placing
it entirely under boiling water for a
given time This eliminates the acids
and washes away the Shiny products
formed by bacteria and frees and dis
solves bitter substance. This should
never be omitted when indicated in
the formula. Some directions say to
do the blanching in the process vat,
but though I try to have everything
clean, l can't keep the vat clean
eonugh for that. l use a clean wash
boiler on the kitchen range for the
process, and the extra work is slight.

FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES ON FARM
fFrom The Fruit Grower.l

On every farm, IN q SOOQ season,
there are fruits and vegetables which
are not suitable for market-or, at
least, which ought not to be marketed
and which will be wasted unless
some plan is arranged to can them. In
some years there will be times when
the market for the fresh fruits or veg
etables will not justify the sale of the
crops and yet if this produce can be
pped it will find ready sale during
|fhtef
s following article from men,
of the Fruit Grower Family, giving
r experience in operating a home
tanning outfit, even though they are
INTERESTED only in canning fruits and
vegetables for home use. This article
will be followed in June by another
which will take up the canning of
other crops as they mature. The ar
ticle is by Mrs. Mabel Emerson Moore,
Cabool, Mo-, and follows:
u
er of the woman who tried to raise
popcorn, appealed to me very strong
ly, for I've been there, almost. Her
feelings and mine when we returned
from Fourth of July celebration and
( found our patch of sweet corn, which
in the morning had promised an abun-
dant crop, completely destroyed by a
dozen breachy range cattle, were prob
ably identical.
And then she isn't the only woman
in search of some practical, profitable
home employment. Having solved the
problem for myself to my own salts
faction, I'm glad to pass my experience
on in hope it may help some one else.
Two years ago we decided to get
home Gamer, in order to save our Gull
peaches and anything else we could.
Though we thought we ordered the
outfit in good time, it did not arrive in
time for berries, but we saved every
peach, not only the Elbertas, but the
seedlings. These l canned without
peeIing, netting me about 80 cents per
.bushel for fruit for which there was
no market The liberia culls were
not measured, but netted 70 cents or
better a dozen cans for fruit that
otherwise would have been lost.
