Correct Process Of Canning vege-

OF doing her work, and many
old-time duties have been entir, ly
done away with. The problem of a
winter supply of vegetables for her
table, which she has learned should be
included in heaEhful diet, is not SO
easy of solution. The farm garden
usually supplies an abundance of veg
etables In their season, and many
times enough for the winter goes to
waste Tomatoes are so easily and
gene. ally canned that we will not en-
slider them, but how many peas, beans
and corn will be preserved for the
table in winter?
We will review the fundamental
steps in the Process of correct canning
and the reasons why these details are
necessary. 1t has been demonstrated
that there are three forms of life,
bacteria, molds and yeasts, that cause
the decay of canned goods. Of,these,
yeasts are easily killed, and as mol S
are more likely to attack jellies and
preserves, We will leave them out of
consideration. This places the burden
upon bacteria. The seeds of bacte ia
are resistant to short boi' ing ocesses
and will live and terminate even
when no air is present. Two things,
then, are absolutely necessary in caa-
ming vegetables, complete steriliza-
ton and the exclusion of air from
the can.
Complete Sterilization.
The room in which the work is to
be done should be as free from dust
as possible, the clothing, hands and
everything to be used should be
thoroughly clean. The cans and tops
should be placed, top down, in a kett
of cold water and boiled for about ten
minutes. All utensils should be steri-
lized in the same way. The water to
be used in filing the cans should be
boiled for half hour in teaket.le
and then cooled. The cans must be
taken one at time from the toil.ng
water just as they are to be filed.
The tops should be taken from the
boiling water and placed directly on
the cans. The rubbers must also b.
put into the boiling water for a few
minutes. The boiling point is usually
sufficient to kill the parent bacteria,
but the seeds will live AMI terminate
after the vegetable has cooled, and
so the destructive work il only are: T.
ed, not completely checked by this
process To be sure that the We G.
table is perfectly sterilized, the boil
ing point must be maintained T sew
eral hours-four to five-or for an
hour or two on three successive days
The writer has found the latter the
safest method The first hours boil
ing is supposed to kill all the molds

GEM SMUGGLING PROBE
Allen and Collins Called by
Grand Jury.
Government Trying to Find Out Who
Is Responsible for Bribery of
Customs Officer.

New York, Oct. 4.-Jewel muggling,
for which Nathan Allen of Kenosha,
Wis, and John r. Collins of Memphis,
Tenn, paid heavy fines, was under fur
Their investigation by the federal grand
jury. The government is trying to find
who is responsible for the alleged brib-
ing of customs officer and corrupt
ing of several government employees to
wink at extensive frauds. They are
on the trail also of a wealthy banker
better known even than Allen or Col
Inns.
These two men, who pleaded gull y
and were fined are under subpoena to
appear as witnesses before the grand
jury. Their attorney denies, however,
that they have any agreement with the
government to make valuable revela-
tons. Allen, the attorney declares, is
the victim Of plot, and there are in
timations that the government still is
far from the bottom of this plot in
which the smuggling of the jewels
afterward possessed by Mrs. Helen
Dwelle jenkins was only an incident.

After Harvesting.
After a crop Of Deans has been re
moved from the land the soil is usual
ly in loose, open condition as left
by the cultivators and puller. If not
used in the fall for some other crop,
such as wheat or rye, these upper
layers of soil will suffer considerable
damage from teaching during the fall
rains and spring freshets. This is
due to the fact that the working of
the soil while the crop is being cult.
waited and pulled leaves much readily

where it can be dissolved and washed
away by every rain
In case the beans are farve ted late,
or for other reasons, it is not desir-
able to SOW wheat or rye, a very lieht
seeding Of oats NAV be used. These
will make considerable growth before
killed by frost, and the roots will hold
the surface soil enough to prevent loss
from teaching and was hing. The tops
viii be killed and become packed
down on the surface before spring,
but If the seeding is no. more than
three pooks or bushel there will not
be enough material on the surface to
prevent land being fitted tor oats in
tho usual way without blowing
An additional advantage In this
plan is that the fall growth of oats
leaves enough decayed pant material

vent it's becoming hard and dry dur

~ HE pea bean has become one Of
Michigan's most valuable p;o-
ducts. The value of this crop
depends very largely upon its bei1g
harvested in a manner which will pre-
vent the beans from being disc lorsd
This is more important when it Is re-
membered that each pound of bad
beans cost another pound to nave
them removed by hand.
OF course, weather conditions are
vital factor in the harvest, but there
are methods which shorten the period
of exposure in the field and others
which prevent spelling in case OF a
continuous rainy spell. The most i'm
portant point in curing the crop with
out waste is in avoiding delay after
the beans are ready for harvest or
during harvest. This can often be
made more certain by gviny the ma
chinery a thorough going over before
hand and securing extra sets OF pulIer
knives. which are kept sharp in read1-
ness to replace dulled ones. In case
tile area to be harvester is very great
the work should be begun before all
the pods are ripe and while the top
green leaves are yet on the vines
Since gathering by hand has been re-
placed by the use of the side rake,
leaves on the vines are an ADVANTAGE
in that they prevent the pods from be-
ing shelled and make bulk large
enough for the rake to work well.
The usual plan followed in using
this machine is to rake two rows, as
left by tks puller, into one, and on
the return trip two others are raked
on top of these, making a windrow
containing eight bean rows. There
will always be a few struggling viz es
left by the puller and rake which can
be gathered while the windrow is be-
ing punched by hand. II the fields
are large and labor is scarce, vices
that are missed can be left without
much loss above the cost of altering
them. The delay occas 'oned by gath
ering all loose vines often results in
damage to the whole crop from bad
weather later in the harvest.
A general plan which has worked
we'll in many bean regions is to run
the puller and side rake in the morn
ing while dew makes the vines tough,
leaving the hand work, such as bunch
ing, to be done later in the day. This
