tStorrs Experiment Statlon)
Many poultry men have been using
permanganate of potash to prevent the
spread OF colds AID other catarrhal
diseases. During the past two years
this product has risen In price from 90
cents to $3.50 TO So per pound; thus
1t Is not surprising that good substi.
tute Is bcing looked for.
One authority suggests the use OF
bluestone or copper sulphnte, whlcl
can he used ns follows; Dissolve fom
ounces OF the buestone In quart ol
water, this to be known as stocl, so
luton. Add one ounce of this solu
tlon 10 each gallon of the drinking wa
ter. This can perhaps be well used foi
II short period, but should not be too
long continued.
Furthermore, one ought to use en-
amelcd or rurthenwarc vessels, as thu
copper sulphate solution may produce
undesirable chemical changes when
used in galvanized pans.

the other extreme, the mammoth com.

Between these two extremes Is the
$50 to 300-egg machine, the kind best

and producing her own vegetables on
every available foot of ground that
can be cultivated. Spinach. chard,
peas, beans, cauliflower tomatoes and
corn may all be satisfactorily canned
at home, and, even counting the initial
cost of glass jars, putting up ones
own vegetables costs no more than
buying the cheapest grade of tin
canned ones at the grocery, while the
expense after one has acquired the
Jars is very small. One may buy the

cents as needed, thus making 1t pos
sible to lay in good stock by de-

If there were no other advantage
In putting up ones own vegetables,
when they are in their prime and may
be canned a few at time, It would
pay in the matter of convenience, as
one may can in pints, quarts or two
quart sizes, In tomatoes, the average
grocer carries nothing smaller than
the quart can, which once opened
must be used ut once. Ones own
little pint jars hold just enough for II
sauce for n soup for two or three
and its superior quality is beyond
question.
Later in the season plans are being
made to hold canning clubs for all
who desire instruction in the art of
canning vegetables. In the meantime
prepare. 1t might be well to think
of the future. If war does become n
reality, we will need all, the surplus
that can possibly be spared from
home to furnish the hospitals. If
each housewife in her canning season
sets apart few cans of fruit, veget-
nbles and glasses of jelly for her
country 1t will mean a splendid sup
ply in time Of need.
