THREE WAYS TO CAN BEANS
salyelIIe Acid, Salt and Vinegar Have
Been Successfully Used on the
String Variety.

Three ways Of canning string beanA
all Of which are successful, are. By
using salycilic acid, salt and vinegar.
To those who like vinegar on their
beans anyway the vinegar method II
the best and safest.
The beans are cooked perfectly
done and a few may be canned at Z
time when they are being cooked for
dinner, as 1t rarely happens that the
housewife can get enough beans for
more than q can or two at tine. :
Put the cooked beans In glass lara
add three tablespoonfuls Of good vim
egar to each quart and seal the bottle
while boiling hot
There will be no spoiled lara, for
they viii be both canned and picked.
When ready to use them simply
heat but do not boil Since % many
use vinegar when eating string beans
this viii be no objection.
In using salt the same method 10 foA
lowed except that q teaspoonful Of salt
Is placed on top Of the beans after
each quart can Ii filled and then sealed
hot.
This method is not a. successful
as the vinegar. The use of preserve
ives as salycilic and benxoic acid We
are inclined to recommend less highly.

Many Valuable Suggestions Are Of

Your Oven.

That water should not be put into an

BY bits Of fat from the roast, or b.

That q rack made of wire should
support meat in the roasting.pan to
prevent 1t from sticking to the bot

That all cut meat should first b
laid on the rack skin-side downward,
provided the hottest air IL above, In
order that the lean part, from which
juices might escape, may be at once
crusted over to retain them.
That a six-pound roast In q little

to be we'll done.
That to lessen such q heat at once
