work. For this reason it Is necessary
in order to completely sterilize fruits
and vegetables, to heat them to the
boiling point Of water and maintain
that temperature for from thirty min
utes to an hour and a half upon two
or three consecutive days or else keep
at this temperature for long period
OF time-fve to eight hours. The
surest and most economical way Is to
boil for SO many minutes each day
for three days as required for the Diff
ferent fruits and vegetables.
The fruits and vegetables to be
canned, are prepared in exactly the
same way as they would be previous
to cooking for immediate use, and
are packed firmly In clean glass Jars.
Pack the jars to within half an inch
Of the top and fill entirely full with
fresh water. New rubbers are then
put in place and the top put on but
not sealed tight. The Jars are then
placed upon small strips of wood, or
other supports, In some convenient
flat-bottomed vessel that will be deep
enough to permit being covered when
the jars are In place. This vessel Ii
then filled with cold water to q depth
that will bring the water up an inch
and half or two inches on the out
side OF the jars. The vessel Is then
placed on the stove and the water
brought to the polling point. With
most vegetables. boiling Is continued
for fifteen minutes and at the end Of
this time the Jars are sealed tight
and allowed to remain in the boiling
water from As to 65 minutes as re-

Messrs. Editors: On account OF the
present high prices of food stuffs, the
question of the home production and
canning of fruits and vegetables Is
one of vital Importance to farmers
throughout the entire country. An
abundant supply Of fresh garden and
orchard products can be had in sea-
son, but usually the winter supply Of
these foods has to be purchased In
the form of canned goods.
Fruits and vegetables can be put
up" in glass Jars at home as readily
as they can be packed In tins at
the factories. The great secret Of
success is complete sterilization.
Minute forms of life that we call
bacteria, are present everywhere in
untold numbers. These bacteria are
practically the sole cause of the spoil
ing or decomposing Of the different
fruits and vegetables. The reproduc-
tion OF bacteria, which Is very rapid,
Is brought about by one Of two pro-
cesses. The bacterium either divides
itself into two parts, making two
bacteria where one existed before, or
else reproduces itself by means Of
spores Spores may be compared with
seeds Of an ordinary plant. These
spores present the chief difficulty In
canning the products of the orchard
and garden. By complete steriliza-
ton we mean the killing OF all forms
of bacteria. This can readily be &C
complished by boiling. While the
parent bacteria can be killed at the
temperature OF boiling water, the
seeds or spores retain their vitality
for long time even at that tenn
perature. Upon cooling, these spores
will terminate and the newly formed
bacteria will begin their destructive

HOMESTEAD AGAINST RANCH.

1t was perhaps not exactly correct TO
say that the Secretary of Agriculture
blamed the homesteaders of the West
for the increased cost of living. Blame
implies cuIpablity, which we cannot sup
pose that he meant TO imputc to them.
There is of course such q thing as re
SponsibiIity without culpability. and it
may he correct to say that the home
SteaderS or their operations have been
in rart the cause Of high prices of meat
without blaming them for wrongdoinS.
The theory is simple, plausible and
probably in q measure correct. 1t Is
that the homesteader by putting land
under cultivation has reduced the pastur-
age area of the ranchman and thus has
reduced the facility of raising cattle
cheaply and consequently increased the
cost of meat IN that case the produc-
ti0n of grain and other agricultural com
modities should have been increased and
their price correspondence reduced. 1t
would he interesting to know to what ex-
tent this is the case.
Tile raising of cattle on vast ranches
is after all primitive system. which
could not be permanent, and like most
primitive systems it is waStefui- The
land is not utilized 10 its greatest pos
Sihle profit and the ratio of loss in cattle
is of course very much larger than under
other methods of raising them. The
ranches were bound to be diminished
and are bound to come TO an end
altogether and we may hope that under
the, new aSd more lasting circumstances
a way will be found Of producing meat
as cheaply as on the open plains
The fact that the ranches have been
aiken for cultivation means that more
wheat corn. hay, potatoes and other
crops are being produced. That circum-
stance should reduce the price of those
things. and thus Of feed and fodder for
cattle which are kept on farms and in
stables. With improved methods of
farming and stock raising the cost Of
cattle and meats produced on farms
ought 10 be reduced as that of range
cattle is Increased. There are those who
believe that the meat markets of the
great Eastern cities could be supplied
profitahly from the pastures and stables
of the Eastern States. Th" nearDeSs to
market and the comparative absence of
loss would. they argue. 90 far toward
counterbaIancing the increased cost "f
the land.
In an case there can be no profit in
simply repining at the increased cost IF
meat which has temporarily been caused
by the homeSteader's invasion of the
ranchman's realm. These new conditions
were inevitable and are on the whole
desirable. and we shall be disappointed
if ingenuity enterprise and thrift d. not
in time make the new conditions more
favorable than the old. To the consumer
of meat as we'll as to all others con-
