ECONOMY IN CANNING SEASON
Odds and Ends Of Fruits and Vegeta-
bIes That Have Lost Their First
Freshness May Be Utilized.

One bright woman noticed that her
market gardener always had some
vegetables and fruit left over each
day; some days there would not be
much, other days there would be quite
a surplus. She saw that he was throw
ing away vegetables and fruits that
only lacked their first freshness. SO
she made arrangements with him to
buy all this surplus at a very small
price, and in this way get winters
supply Of homemade canned goods at
a much less cost than in the usual
way.
She makes ripe tomatoes up into
catsups, dries and pickles green beans
and peas, dries and cans sweet corn,
puts cucumbers down in pickle,
pickles young beets and cans them
and cans fruit or makes it into pre-
serves and buffers.
She has found that canning by the
fireless method is a great saver. By
canning in this way the house is kept
cool, fuel is saved and she Is free
from the fear of water boiling away.
Clean and prepare the vegetables as
for all canning
Select beets of uniform size and
leave in the cooker three and one-half
hours. Cauliflower should be separat-
ed into it's flowerets and well washed
to free from insects. Leave in the
cooker three hours. Asparagus, peas
and young string beans do not need
to be left in as long as harder vegeta-
bles. Fruits should be canned in the
same way. Soft berries should be ia
ken from the cooker in three-quarters
Of an hour. Apples and pears should
be left an hour. Pineapple would take
two and one-half hours.

SOME MERCHANTS STILL
USING WRONG MEASURES
ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED By IN
SPECTOR AND PROSECU.
TONS MAY FOLLOW

Although weights have been substi-
tutcd for measures by many merchants
in the parceling out of potatoes. vegct-
ables and other commodities sold. in
compliance with the new state law
which calls for uniform weights and
measures there are a few merchants
in the copper country who are still
using the liquid instead of the dry
measure for peas, beans. CrdnbeTries
ana similar commodities, it is claimed.
As all Of the merchants and dealers
have been warned by Deputy Inspcc-
tor John +. Rowe of l.aurum and the
attitude Of the department is that one
warning shall be sufficient, il is not
unlikely that prosecutions will follow
IL any violations are discovered 10y
Deputy Rove.
The new law requires that a bushel
of potatoes shah weigh sixty pounds
and that other commodities he sold
by legal weight. II has frequently been
found that bushel baskets filled To the
top with potatoes do not weigh more
than from fifty TO fifty-five pounds,
and the consumer therefore suffers a
loss. This does not mean that the
dealer Intentionally dcfrauds his pa
iron for the reverse is usually the case
lie frequently sells in the same meas
uTc that the commodity has been sold
To him in, The discrepancy in weight
with peek and half peck measures is
even greater than with bushel meas
ures. Since this matter was called To
their attention, practically all of the
local dealers are selling potatoec and
similar commodities by weight, thus
avoiding all possibility of violating the
law There may have been few in
stances where farmers have sold 10y
the old bushcl measure method. but
these are the exceptions.
II is claimed. however that one pro-
vision of the law which requires that
dIy instead of liquid measures be used
in measuring commodities that call for
such e measure has been ignored by
some merchants. There IS differ
encc of from six To seven quarts per
bushel in favor of the merchant when
tn" liquid quart is used instead of the
dry quart and unless the correct meas
ure is used in the future. local mcr-
chants are likely To lind themselves i'm
