CAN BY coLD.>AcK METHOD.
As Taught to Girls Gaming Clubs i,
Has Been Success

Canning fruit and vegetables 10
the Cold-paCk method, advocated by
the United States department of agri-
culture and the extension division of
Iowa State College. is so simple. eco
nomical and safe that wherever it has
been taught in Iowa to the boys and
girls canning clubs it has become
quite popular" says Prof. E. C. Bishop,
state leader of the junior work in Iowa
There are two steps in this method.
The first is the cold-pack. The vege-
ia bles or fruits are cleaned and pre-
pared as desired and then packed raw
in glass jars or cans. With vegetables.
hot water is added: with fruit. sugar
strip. The covers are then put on the
jars. but not completely sealed An
allowance is made for expansion from
the inside.
The second step is the hot water
bath The filled jars are placed in hot
water in any vessel large enough for
the water to cover the tops OF the jars
for an inch or two There should be
a false bottom Of some kind TO hold
! the jars off the bottom so that the
water will circulate beneath. Time
tables will tell how many minutes Diff
ferent products should remain in the
boiling water.
At the close Of the period. the Jars
are removed. the tops sealed down and
the jars set away to cool.
Persons desiring more information
or to organize a canning club for re-
ceiving instruction in this method
should write to the agricultural extern
sion division, Iowa State College,

cERRo eoRDo ROAD CONTRACT.
Supervisors Turn Down All Bids and
Let by Private Deal.

Mason City, June aS.-The supervis-
ors were unable Monday to let the con-
tract for the road improvements to be
made in the county during the next
few months by the sealed bid process.
There is an estimated aggregate Of
$4,000 cubic yards Of earth to be han
died. Some of this will be easy work
and some will be far from it. The
bidders seemed generally to be afraid
Of the job, and therefore, in the opinion
of the supervisors, put in a figure that
would be safe When bids were opened
1t was found that the following firms
were after the work: Russell Condor
Company. Of Omaha, bid 261a cents;
J. and r. Malone, Lincoln. Neb. 261a
cents; r. A. Morton. Mason City, on
part of the work, % cents; Barnes
Bros. Des Moines. 23h cents.
The board finally decided that they
were all high and threw them out.
Later, in a private deal with Barnes
Bros. the contract was let at 221a
cents.
William Henkle secured the contract
for the cement bridge over the Little
Lime creek near the Cutler farm, Port
land township. He also secured the
contract for putting in the abutment
for bridge one mile east Of the Files

In these closing sessions, special en-

GET READY FOR FALL FAIRS.
Summer Months Time For Fitting

of the animal husbandry department

much can be accomplished before late
August and September shows.
Live stock of all kinds, to show to
best advantage, should be we'll fed.
This means that a little extra grain
should be given 20 those selected to go
to the fair. Extreme condition and An
ish is not ordinarily found at the
smaller shows, but good, thrifty condi-
tion makes the good points of an ami
NAL much easier for the judge to ap-
preciate.
Young stock should always be
trained to handle readily before going
to the shows. A colt that leads up
we'll to halter and stands squarely on
all four feet, with head up, makes a
much better show than a colt equally
as good individually, but not taught
to do these things. The same may be
said Of calves and older stock as well.
If sheep are to be shown, a littI>
time spent in blocking and trimming
with good pair of shears will i'm
prove their appearance wonderfully.
This work need not be started until
two or three weeks before show time.

USE COAL TAR DlsiNFEcrANTs.
Are Best For Organic Matter and Sick
Room Waste and They're Cheap.

Disinfectants from coal tar products
are effective, cheap, not dangerous,
and are much rather to be preferred
for, many purposes than mercuric
chloride, known as corrosive sublimate,
declares the department Of bacteriology
at Iowa State College.
The corrosive sublimate has been
used for good many years in places
where it has almost no effect. Being
metallic substance, it combines with
| organic matter, thus escaping the bac-
terra. This means that its use Is in
effective in the sick room where it is
| employed to disinfect discharges from
! the sick person. 1t is good for the
hands and woodwork, however.
Coal tar products such as lysol,
chloro naptholeum. creolin and sulfo-
rapthol ought to be used more and
more. They are so cheap that bottle
purchased at the corner drug store for
% cents will be sufficient to make ten
gallons of disinfectant. In addition,
they may be purchased with a guaran-
teed disinfecting power.
Likewise, many Of the throat washes
sold are not only useless, but entirely
too expensive. They contain from Is

Iowa City, June 2S.-Iowa's First
Cavalry IS IN a shaky tounda ton, 1t Is
rumored in military circles. Many OF
the soldier boys, newly indicted into
the cavalry, are objectinS strenuously
to taking the oath that will make them
United States soldiers. They are OPP
iposed to service in Mexico, or outside
the borders of the United States, any
where, and did not contemplate such
service, they aver, when they enlisted
in the National Guard. If they are
numerous enough, the squadron may
be disrupted, as the total enrolment in
each of the four troops is not tar be-
You'd the peace strength. and with a
rather small list of OBJECTIONS, the First
Iowa Cavalry may cease to exist. The
men are unwilling, also to enlist for
long service, but it is understood that
objection will be removed, as three

A HEALTHY HOG TRADE.
Pork Not Superabundant Despite
Heavy Runs at Market Centers.

fork NOT SuPerapunoant OeSpIte
Heavy Runs at Market centers.
Statistics would make it appear that
hog meat is superabundant, but such
is not the case, says the Live Stock
World. Pork production has expanded
in a somewhat remarkable manner
but not in sufficient volume to nullify
| the shortage in beef and mutton Hog
receipts at the eleven principal mar
kets of the United States during the
first half of the current year will be
about 100000 in excess of the same
period last year and nearly 100000
larger than two years ago, yet pack
ers have not accumulated excessive
stocks and prices have ruled high, 500
$40 per hundred having been the range
at which large slice"of the crop has
sold. Export trade has been of enor-
nous volume and dom nestle consump-
ton. owing to industrial activity, has
been large enough to force packers in
to the market. daily. regardless of cost.
Had anyone predicted what has hap
pened in the hog trade since March
at the inception of the last winter
packing season. examination OF his
head would have been considered wise.
All prophecy emanating from packing
circles has been discredited and the
Si0 quotation has been erased only TO
be promptly reinstated. A heavy June
run, for which packers confidently
looked, has not materialized nor is it
on the market horizon. Cattle were
marketed prematurely and hogs went
to the shambles with them. Hogs
available from now on will not make
the choice meats the public demands
and packers are not bending their
backs under the load they are carry
ing Even Armour has been free
buyer around so and the cinch play
ers in the trade have spent money un-
stintedly at top prices. The season Is
here when a hog is no longer hog
and buyers are compelled to figure
with something else than weight. Con-
fidently a wider spread is to be ex-
pected, hut common and good hogs are
likely to sell close together all thru
the season, as lard has come into It's
own and that portion OF the hog con-
signed to the pork barrel is not de-
spised Should the United States find
military campaign necessary to
clearing up the Mexican muddle,
vast quantity Of bacon will be needed
to sustain even the army essentia! to
performing that task.
