CANNING TOMATOES WHOLE.

We have received several re-
quests for a recipe for canning
tomatoes whole for salad, which
was printed two years ago and
reprinted last year. 1t proved
so satisfactory that all who tried
it are loud in its praise, declar-
ing that the tomatoes are just
like those freshly gathered, when
used in a salad. Select perfect
tomatoes of even size, fully ripe
but not soft. Skin them by
scalding, then pack in wide
mouthed jars. Put them in care
fully without squeezing, and do
not fill the jars SO full that the
topmost fruit will press against
the lid. Put in little salt, then
wrap a wet cloth around the jar
and fill it with boiling water.
Put on the lid and seal it tight;
then put the jar in a kettle of
hot water, deep enough to come
right over the top; leave it there
without any further cooking,
until the water becomes cold,

These multiply very rapidly and
cause fermentation. The only
way to destroy these germs eff
fectually and entirely is complete
sterilization, which is accompl-
ished by submerging the cans,
after filled with fruit. in boiling
water and kept at that tempera-
ture long enough to destroy the
bacteria.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR
WINTER.

The average farmer does not
put up enough fruit and veget-
ables for use DUNG the winter
months; both are a necessity and
a luxury to aid in furnishing a
healthful diet. To buy canned
goods entails an unnecessary eX-
pense, when fruit may be had at
home, or bought in quantity and
canned at horne. Such goods are
classed as Injuries. and priced
ditto, and with the present high
prices of all foodstuffs, luxuries
must be done without in many
homes; besides, commercially
canned goods lack the care in
putting up they get at home,
consequently lose much of their
flavor from being canned in large
quantities from unsolicited fruit,
often of poor quality. The high
priced goods offer a very fair
substitute for fresh vegetables,
but the cheaper grades are lack
ing in delicacy and freshness.
Few housewives can veget-
ableS. even where frllitS are nut
up usually few cans Of toma-
toes are the only vegetables US
ed, while it is just as easy to sue
cessfully can corn, bean, okra
and other equally nutritious
vegetables. Most farmers have
a good garden, where much goes
to waste that should be preserv-
ed to extend the bill of fare for
winter. Formerly the housewife
had to depend upon dried fruits
and vegetables, if they were had
in winter, but with the advent
of the tin cans and glass jars
there came a new era in most
homes; the products were more
easily prepared, more attractive
in appearance and far more pal
atable.
There are number of home
Gamers on the market that are
not expensive, the use of which
will facilitate the work and allow
the putting up of larger guam
titles. Two or three families
might join in the purchase OF a
canning outfit, thus minify the
cost.
The two most important fac
tors in canning fruit and Veget-
ables arecleanliness and heat, the
latter to completely sterilize
them. Bacteria, minute forms
of life abound everywhere and
in everything we eat or drink.
