The canning of vegetables
makes it possible to- have q
supply of them the year round.
Success in cannings comes
when one brings about the con.
ditions that prevent decay;
namely. the keeping out of
moulds and bacteria, quite
commonly called germs. They
are SO minute that they can.
only be seen by a high power
microscope, which makes it
palmer why they eau be on
fruit and vegetables, or floating
in the air, and we not see them.
Boiling kills them, and is the
key to successful canning. Not
only should the vegetables be
we'll boiled but. also the cans
and covers. Have the rubbers
thoroughly washed IN soap
suds and dipped in hot water
before putting ON cane. The
hotter the cans, covers and
vegetables are, the better. Corn
and tomatoes are infested with
a germ that is hard to kill even
BY boiling, 60 especial precau-
tions must be used with these
two vegetables. First prepare
the old cans and covers by boil
ing them in lye water to free
them from all green's and odore.
Use only a ganite Or porcelain
kettle for cooking. a wooden
spoon is best tor stirring. Fill
cans brimful with material &C.

seal tight and screw the cover
tighter when it has cooled a
little. Fruits and vegetables
have better flavor when cook.
ed in small quantities because
they are not cooked so long,
and they will keep better as
they are more apt to be actually
boiling hot all through In
order to be sure that canned
goods will keep, you must be
certain that there are no living
germs in the cans when sealed.
Our forefathers used salt and
sugar as .preservaties, and they
are the only healthful ones, as
many makes of preservative
powders contain such chemi.
calls as salicylic acid, horax and
formalin. While they will atop
the action of the bacteria they
also have a poisonous effect uE-
on the body. Try to can the
most perfect vegetables, as they
have the best flavor and are
more apt to be free from germs.
To can beete.-Use small
beets, wash as for present use
and leave an inch stalk at top
to prevent bleeding. Boil in
slightly sailed water, peel as

minutes after it boils all
