The canning of vegetables is a very
simple process, IL the one who has this
work to do, or directs it done, understands
the real meaning of sterilization. The
word is cleanliness-yes, surgical cleanli-
ness-and the vegetables should be per-
fecty fresh.
Foods that ferment have in them some
form of plant or animal life. Vegetables
containing sugar, such as corn, beets ana
peas, are the most difficult to keep, while
acid vegetables are most easily kept, pro-
viding sugar is not used. To have per-

POISON SPRAYS

Those Who Use Arscnats Of Lead
Use Too Much ut a Time and

II Is very desirable TO grow apples
free from worms. The codling moth
Is the insect that lays the eggs in the
blossoms from which the worms are
Matched. Arsenical poison sprayed on
the blossoms Is eaten by the young
codling moth worms and they die be-
fore doing any damage.
A great many fruit growers do not
spray at all for the codling moth. It
has been found. however. by cNpe-
rience that those who do spray with
arsenate of lead use too strong a solu-
tion. apply too much ut a time and
usually spray too often. Four pounds
OF arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of
water make an amply strong solution.
A greater proportion of the poison is
an actual detriment and waste.
The apple tree does not have to be
soaked with the poison mixture to kill
the larvae of the moth. The minut.
