MODEL TOMATO PATCH IN GIRLS CANNING CLUB GARDEN.
number Of Uncle Sans proteges grows daily al the popularity Of
his movement for the formation of girls canning and gardening
clubs grows This movement is expected to do much to keep girls
on the farm, since 1t points uttot them Z way Of making more money
IN pleasant, healthful surroundings than they could toning long hours daily in
q stuny shop or factory in the city.
The interest which the government takes in these clubs is shown by the
tact that it has offered substantial prizes. provided competent teachers and
compiled useful advice to stimulate interest in the clubs.
Last year the work al a great success 1t 10 hoped that this year It may
b We more popular.
nsnt Of agriculture have issued som suggestions which are q practical that
the housewife or any one who is interested in putting up tomatoes may nnd

while hot into the jars and sealed at once. This method is too aborious and
uncertain to be Of practical use, and only a limited number of hOusekeepers

The best method known is the cold packed method Of canning, where the
tomatoes are carefully graded Tor siea and coIor selecting only sound and ripe
TOMATOES; then scalded for about a minute and a half in boiling water to
loosen the skin; then Immediately plunged into cold water and coresa and skins

RAILWAY BRIDGES.
Many Spans Dseoms Obsolete Dscauss
Of Traffic Domands.

Many Spans Become Obsolete Because
Of Traffic Dsmands.
Railroad bridges do not get q chance
to rust and wea out. The rapid evo.
luton Of railway engineering has made
them obsolete long before they cease
to be serviceable.
In the last five years many railway
bridges built less than twenty-five
years ago have been removed and re-
placed by much hea vier bridges. This
strengthening process was only one
step in a long series. Ever since the
early days Of railway bridges the con-
tinually increasing weight Of locomO-
tives and trains made bridges obsolete
long before they rusted or wore out.
The history Of railway bridges has
been a record Of evolution from light
to continually hea vier bridges. At va
riOus times In this evolution bridge en-
gineers decided that the weight of
trains then In use was substantially
the maximum that could ever be ex-
pected on III railways. The event prov.
ed them wrong.-Engineering News.

varies with its temperature. but ordi-

Following its discovery by an an

manufactured through the destructive
distillation Of horns. hOofs and hides.
and it's production from horns gave an
