the purpose Of keeping the containers
from contact with the hot bottom of

are packed.
See that all cans or Jars are In good

they will be hot when the product is

Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor, 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-thlrd salt and two-thirds sugar.
Two level teaspoonfuls of this are
placed In No. 3 can and one teaspoon
full In No. can. For beans, okra,
caulifower, etc.. brine containing 2h
ounces Of salt to a gallon Of water Is
used. For asparagus a heavier brine,
four ounces to gallon Of water, is
needed.
In order to conserve the supply Of
tin cans, 1t 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 q
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the begin
ming Of each processing to allow for
expansion.

From this point on, speed Is highly

Fruits which are put up with heavy
sirups can be kept under cork and

ties, glasses and Jars for putting up

Vegetables, meats, and fish, however.

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

The labelling should be done with q

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

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Fruit juices for use later In Jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made Into jellies at
the housewives convenience. This en-.
ables her to do with fewer Jelly glasses
and to distribute her purchases Of su.
gar for jelly making through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled Juice she
can make greater variety of jellies,
rs 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 II Jelly
were to be made at the time. Cook
the fruits until they are soft and
strain out the juice through a 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 that 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 abb
solutely essential to success.

marketward movement of cattle for

for the week are around IT'S, COM

time a year ago.
Buyers appetite for beef material
was It a keen edge when the second
session opened, as they have not been
getting anywhere near enough cattle
to keep them going for almost a
week. Consequently they raised
their hand to make sellers let go of
their supplies with alacrity. and long
before noon the bulk of the beef
steers on sale had crossed the scales
at prices judged to be strong to a
dime higher than those of the pre-
Ivious day. Best offered in the way
