Juice should be added in excess of the
amount in the tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor, a mixture
of sugar and salt adds greatly to the
flavor of such products as tomatoes,
peas, Lima beans and corn. The mix
ture recommended by the government
specialists in canning is composed OF
one-third salt and two-thirds sugar.
Two level teaspoonfuls of this are
placed in a No. 3 can and one teaspoon
full in a No. can. For beans, okra,
caulifiower, etc., brine containing 211s
ounces of salt to a gallon of water is
used, For asparagus a heavier brine,
four ounces to a gallon of water, is
needed.
In order to conserve the supply OF
tin cans, it is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use should
be put up, whenever possible, in glass.
The hermetic type of jar, however, is
not a suitable one for intermittent
processing, for which the best type is a
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the Begin
ming of each processing to allow for
expansion.

Throw out all vegetables and fruits
which are withered or unsound. Wash
out ali grit and dirt. # possible. use
only fruits and vegetables picked the
same day and never can peas and corn
picked more than five hours.
Prepare fruits and large-sized vege-
tables for blanching. Remove all spots
from apples.
Prepare beans and green's as for
cooking. Be especially careful to re-
move all foreign plants from the
green's.
Blanch vegetables and all fruits ex-
cept berries by leaving them from
three to five minutes in clean boiling
water, or by steaming them for a sim
liar period in a colander over a vessel
of boiling water or in a steam cooker.
Remove the blanched products from
the boiling water or steam and plunge
them quickly into cold water, the cold
er the better. Take them out imme-
diately and let them drain. Don't let
them soak in the cold water.
From this point on, speed is highly
important. The blanched vegetables
and fruits, which are slightly warm,
must not be allowed to remain out of
the containers moment longer than
is necessary.
Remove skins when required, and as
each article is pared cut it up into
proper size and pack directly into the
clean, scalded cans or jars.
Pack as solid as possible, being care
full not to bruise or mash soft prod
ucts.
In the case of fruit, fill the contain
ers at once with boiling hot strip.
In the case Of vegetables, fill the
containers with boiling hot water to
which little salt has been added.
Place scalded rubber rings on the
glass jars and screw down the tops.

them for leaks. AS the preliminary

to be used for sterilizing. This is for
the purpose Of keeping the containers
from contact with the hot bottom of
the vessel and to permit the free cir

Fill the vessel with clean water so
that the boiling water will cover the

ing the water so that it will be boiling
violently by the time the containers
are packed.
See that all cans or jars are in good
condition and absolutely clean. Scald
them thoroughly and put them in a
vessel Of water on the stove SO that
they will be hot when the product is
ready for packing. Use new rubber
rings for jars and scald them just be-
fore putting them on the jars.
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables.
Start with clean hands, clean uten-
sis, and clean, sound, fresh products.

The waste of surplus fruits and veg
etables in this country each year is
large. 1t would be deplorable If this
normal waste were allowed to go on
this year when every ounce OF food
that can be produced is needed. The
waste can be avoided in large part if
housewives will can as large part Of
the surplus perishables as possible.
Any fruit or vegetable and practical
~ any other food may be canned sat-
Ssfactorily by the one-period cold-pack
method Of canning taught by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
10 the boys and girls OF the canning
clubs in the northern and western
states. The homemade wash boiler
equipment for use in this method of
canning, described below, is entirely
effective. Hcme-size water seal,
steam-pressure or pressure-cooker cam
ming outfits, which save time and fuel,
may be used instead if desired.

When processing vegetables and

After processing, remove the con-

Tighten the tops of jars immediate
ly and stand the containers upside
down in a cool place, being careful
that no draft strikes the hot jars.
Watch for leakage and screw covers
down tighter when necessary. Store
in cool, dry place, not exposed to
freezing temperature.
Use band labels for cans, being care
full not to let the glue get on the can
itself as it may cause rust.
From time to time, especially in very
making certain that there are no leaks,
swellings or other signs of fermenta-
ton.
There will be no spoilage if the di-
rections are followed implicitly and the
containers are sealed up tight.
Fruits which are put up with heavy
sirups can be kept under cork and
parafin seal. Save all wide-necked bot
ties, glasses and jars for putting up
fruits.
Vegetables, meats, and fish, however.
cannot be kept safely unless they are
Theoretically sealed. Reserve regular
jars for products that cannot be
packed in other ways.
AS there may be some difficulty in
securing cans and jars, dry or keep in
other ways everything that need not be
canned.
The labelling should be done with
rather dry paste, which is put only
on the end of the label, so that it does
not touch the tin. Paste may cause
rust, and in damp climates it is some
times customary to lacquer the outside
Of the can before it is labeled. The
label, if the product is intended for
sale, must contain the net weight in
pounds and ounces and the packers
name and address.
In packing fruits and vegetables, it
is necessary to surround them with
brine, strip or water, but under the
terms of the federal law governing the
interstate shipment Of canned goods,
no more of this liquor is allowed than
is actually necessary to cover the con-
tents after as full pack as possible is
made. With tomatoes no water what
ever should be added and no tomato

FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLIEs
May Be Sterilized and Bottled With
out Sugar and Made Into Jelly
at Any Time.


(From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Fruit juices for use later in Jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellies al
the housewives convenience. This en-
ables her to do with fewer jelly glasses
and to distribute her purchases of SUI
gar for jelly making through the year,
Moreover, with the bottled juice she
can make a greater variety of jellies,
as juices which will not jell can be put
up when the fruit is ripe and combined
later with fruits that will jell, or fruits
ripening at different seasons can be
combined. For example, the juice of
strawberries, cherries, or pineapple
can be kept without sugar and later
when apples are plentiful can be made
into combination jelly.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as if jelly
were to be made at the time. Cook
the fruits until they are soft and
strain out the juice through flannel
bag. Heat and pour while hot into
bottles previously scalded. Fill the
bottles full, leaving no air space be-
tween juice and cork or seal. Place
the filled sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thir-
ty minutes. Make sure shat the corked
or sealed end is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool cover
the cork with a parafin seal. Thor
ough sterilization and sealing are alb
solutely essential to success.

How to SteriIize or Process.
Put the jars or cans as soon as pos
sible into boiling water in wash boiler
or into your canning device. Let them
process for the time specified in the
