There are various practical ineXpen-
sive outfits for use on the stove or in
the orchard, for canning all kinds of
fruits, berries, and vegetables, both
for the market and for home use. The
hot water bath Gamer is fitted up with
trays and various other equipment so
that canning may be done more rap
Idly and with less labor. Any one de-
string to can in tins will find it quite
eXpedient to use those capped with
solder.
An old wash boiler or lard can, fitted
up with false bottom OF wood or
wire, although not so convenient,
makes a good homemade Gamer.
There are on the market steam
pressure canning outfits. The tenn
perature in an open kettle will never
raise above PIP degrees Fahrenheit,
no matter how hot the fire or how long
it is applied But confne the water
in a steam boiler and Immediately the
temperature will raise to much high
er degree IN the steam pressure can
ner the steam is confined so that the
heat is more intense. Steam pressure
is much safer process Of sterilizing
fruits and vegetables because the bac-
terra and spores are unable to with
stand the intense heat. Also the heat
penetrates to every part Of the canned
goods which is not always possible
with a temperature of PIP degrees
Fahrenheit

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. J. W. Lentz. OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor

his family got instruction from a distant

and his life was saved.

tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
lions over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 70 years old.

c. sslio,,s is the shortage in beef that

So serious is the shortage in beef tnal
the government, while seeking to pro-
mole cattle raising at home, is securing
the world for supplies. DR.. A. D. Mel
vim chief of the bureau of animal indus
try, has gone TO South America on three
months investigation of the possibility Oh
getting adequate supplies OF cattle ana
beef from Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay and
Paraguay. Other experts of the depart
ment will start this month on similar mis-
sions TO Australia and other lands. In
1912 The federal inspection showed 2,242,-
22o calves slaughtered, not counting the
vast number killed for local use and there
fore not brought under government IN
spection. The waste in the killing OF
calves is seen in the fact that the average
weight of a steer is six or seven hundred
pounds. while calves are slaughtered al
about a hundred pounds.

The Canning Process.
The first step in canning is the Sc
lection and preparation Of the vegeta
bles. Never attempt TO can any vege
table that has matured and com
menced to harden, or one that has be
gun to decay. AS a rule. young vege
tables are superior In flavor and in
texture to the more mature ones. Veg
etables are better II gathered In the
early morning while the dew is still
on them. If 1t Is impossible to car
them Immediately do not allow them
to wither but put them In water or a
cool place where they will keep crisp
until you are ready to use them. Dc
the canning in a room that has been
well swept and busted some time be
fore so that the number of spores
floating about in the air will be re
duced.
Every housekeeper is familiar with
the open kettle method Of sterilization
The fruit or vegetable is cooked
in a kettle then transferred to the jar
This method not only takes a great
deal of time and labor but it also Of
fers an excellent opportunity for bac
terra to enter. The best methods OF
sterilization are the hot water bath
and the steam pressure. These are
especially desirable because the goods
are cooked inside the jar and the all
can not enter; consequently there car
be no decay if the lid has been prop
erly fastened

Trainmen's lanterns equipped with ell
ectric lamps are among the new devices
attracting the attention OF railroad men.
The lantern is similar to that used by
conductors and brakemen with the ex-
ception that light is furnished by an in
candescent lamp instead OF an oil lamp.
The base of the lantern which formerly
served as a reservoir for oil, contains a
three-cell battery. Instead OF manipu-
latine switch to turn on the trainman
puts the handle in an upright position,
lighting the lamp. The battery will burn
IA hours continuously or % hours inter
