Rockwell City, Feb. 2.-One of the
worst rain, sleet and snow storms that
has visited this part of the state for
several years reached here Saturday
night and is still raging with unabated
fury. 1t rained Saturday night and
practically all day Sunday forming
heavy coating of ice over everything.
Later sleet storm prevailed, followed
by snow which assumed the proper
.tions Of Dakota blizzard. The ice
and snow has paralyzed business with
the outside world. and badly damaged
local electric and telephone systems.
The city has been without light and
power since. early Sunday morning,
with no hopes Of having the service re-
stored until the fury of the storm is
oyer. Every telephone line out of the
city is down, cutting off all outside
communications Il The local system is
quite badly daTiaeed. hut efforts are
being made to repair it as speedily as
possible and prevent further demorali-
zation. The Western Union telegraph
wires went down, making it impossible
for. the operators to get any messages
thru or to locate the trains on the
Milwaukee system, which are either
very late or annulled. Snow plows are
trying to clear the track between Fort
Dodge and Omaha. Their wires are
in bad condition.

many of the reports were not connrm-

prairie dog was susceptible to the dis
ease. but that 1t had never been

IN CANNING SEASON
SECRET OF SUCCESS IN PUTTING
UP" SUPPLIES.
Absolute Sterilization Must Be OBJ
talned-5est and Easiest Methods
Of Getting the Best Results
From Fruit That Is Used.

II anybody appreciates the kindness
of Mother Nature II is the practical
housekeeper. This is especially true
in summertime when by her bountiful
store of fruits and vegetables she in
creases the housekeeper's store at lit
tie cost and contributes much to re-
duce her labor.
There are several methods Of a
ming, and the secret Of success in each
is absolute sterilization. The best
and easiest methods of canning are
cooking the fruits in jars in an oven;
cooking the fruits In jars in a steamer
or In boiling water, and stewing the
fruit before it is put into the jars.
Glass is the most satisfactory jar to
use in canning. Glass jars are becom-
ing so universally in favor that they
are taking the place of tin cans for
everything; even for tomatoes. They
are more economical than tin, for al
though the glass costs more in the be-
ginning, it lasts and can be used over
and over again. While there are many
kinds of jars, the preference should
usually be given to those with wide
mouths. In canning fruits or jelly
it is important that the fruits or Der
ries should not be over-ripe. Fruit
for canning should be fresh, solid and
not ~overripe. If over-ripe some of
the spores may survive the boiling
and fermentation takes place in a
short time. In preparing the fruit
remove all stems, then peel with a
silver knife, cor or remove the seeds
or pits as the case may be. Peaches,
pears or apples may be kept from dis
coloring if they are dropped as they
are pared into cold water to which a
little vinegar or lemon juice may be
added.
Canned Pears.-Twenty-four Bartlett
pears, eight cupfuls water, two cup
fuls sugar.
Bartlett pears are the best for can
ming. Put the water and sugar into
a preserving kettle. Let the strip come
to boiling point and skim off the froth
If any rises. While the strip is heat
ing carefully halve, peel and core the
tSoNSt DSAAA6 hOl " uoO l1OoS
that are over-ripe or imperfectly
shaped.
Drop pieces into a basin of cold
water until all are pared. Put the
halved pears into the boiling strip,
but do not stir. Take a large roasting
pan with handles and place in it as
many sterilized canning jars as it will
hold. Pour some tepid water in the
pan to a depth of about two inches,
and place the pan on the side of the
stove. The water will get hot and keep
the jars warm. Sterilize the rubber
rings and covers. By this time the
fruit will be boiling. When the pears
commence to lose their hard whiteness
they are ready to take off. Lift out
pieces separately with a spoon and put
them into the hot jars. Fill jars and
cover with the strip; fill even with
the top, put the rings and overs on
and screw tight.
