Throw out all Vegetables and fruits
which are withered or unsound. Wash
out all grit and dirt. II possible, use
only fruits and vegetables picked the
same day and never can peas and corn
picked more than flve 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
greens.
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 SIM
liar period in a colander over vessel
of boiling water or in 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

must not be allowed to remain out Of
the containers a 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

In the case Of fruit, fill the contain

In the case Of vegetables, fill the
containers with boiling hot water to
which little salt has been added.

The waste of surplus fruits and veg
etables in this country each year Is
large. 1t would be deplOrable if this
normal waste We're 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 rs large part of
the surplus perishables rs possible.
Any fruit or vegetable and practical
ly any other food may be canned sat
isfactorily by the one-period cold-pack
method of canning taught by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
to 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. Home-size water seal,

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

F'rom 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,
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. Co6k
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 filed 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 coe's scover
the cork with a paraf11n seal. SThor-
ough sterilization and sealing are ab-
solutely essential to success

juice should be added in excess Of the
amount in the tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor, q 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. can and one teaspoon
full in a No. 2 can. For beans, okra,
caulifower, etc., brine containing 21a
ounces Of salt to 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, 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.

lattice work, crosspieces of wood, or
coarse wire netting for your clean
wash boiler or other large, deep vessel
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
culation of water under them.
Fill the vessel with clean water so
that the boiling water will cover the
tops of the jars or cans. Begin heat
ing the water so that 1t 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 n
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-
sils. and clean, sound, fresh products.

Time schedule given is based upon
the one-quart pack and upon fresh

When processing fruits in steam
pressure Gamers, not over five pounds
Of steam pressure should be used. o.
When processing vegetables and
meats do not use over fifteen pounds
Of pressure.
After processing, remove the con-
tainers.
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 a 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
hot weather, examine jars and cans,
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
paraffin 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 a
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, 1t
Is necessary to surround them with
brine, sirup 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 a pack as possible is
made. With tomatoes no water what
ever should be added and no tomato

1t is not necessary to exhaust the cans.
How to Sterillze or Process.
Put the jars or cans as soon as pos
sible into boiling water in a wash boiler
or into your canning device. Let them
process for the time specified in the
table, counting from the time the wa
ter begins to boil again, or the gauge
on the canning outfit registers the
proper pressure.

ESKIMO ICE CREAM.
It's a Fins Dish, No Doubt, but Your
Guests Might Not Like Il.

The main food Of the Alaskan Indian
is meat and fish. In the winter many
people do not cook the fish at all; sim.
ply leave them In the house for two or
three days and then eat them raw.
Women always serve the food and al
ways see that others are satisfied be-
fore beginning their own meal. They
have to be very careful not to spill
anything. for that would bring bad
luck to the one whom they are serving.
, When person Is invited to eat In
the village 1t Is considered bad man
ners to eat all that Is before him. He
must leave enough to take homo to
the members Of the family who did
not come. The host generally gives
his guest a piece OF dried fish to hold
the food which he is to take home.
The fish Is broad and fiat, about one
half inch thick, and the bundle is
carried away openly without any at
tempt at hiding It. In the summer
berries, fruit and roots are added to
the diet and berries are frozen In the
fall to last through the winter.
Since white people came nour and
canned goods have changed the food
very much. 1t is easy to have ice
cream for dessert any time. There is
no cream about 1t, but tallow and ber-
ries are mixed with snow. sometimes
fish is added to 1t, and when 1t Is fro
zen 1t makes fine dish.--Southern

Many persons seem to see, or to hear,
rather, something TO be amused at In
the soft Irish brogue. As matter Of
fact, most of the words of the Irish
dialect" are not Irish at all. but the
purest Of English-English trifie an
tiquated. 1t is true, but nevertheless the
real thing. The ears Of Milton, Dry
den. Spenser and Chaucer would not
have been surprised to hear an Irish
man speak of "a rough say" or "a clane
shirt" At the court of good Queen
Bess the cultured Englishman careful
ly garnished bis conversation with
.goolde' rings and brave "swoordes"
and bored his friends with accounts of
the smart sayings of the ''childre" at
"hoom." This was the English origi-
nally imported into Ireland by the cul-
tured Irish. and the Irish have found
1t good enough to preserve.-Chicago

When euffaIoes Swept the Plains.

In pioneer days the railroads cross
ing the plains were often delayed for
many hours by buffaloes. In 1871 and
1872 trains on the Atchison, Topeka
and Sante Fe railroad were charged
by the enraged beasts. cars were de-
rallied and overturned and the lives OF
train crews and passengers endanger-
ed. Many tales OF hairbreadth escapes
were related by small parties OF SOL
diers, frontiersnen and emigrants. and
1t is possible that many an emigrant
wagon with Its occupants that left the
Missouri river and was never seen
again was overwhelmed by the buffa-
loes rather than wiped out OF existence
by the Indians. to whom all unexplain-
ed disappearances were attributed.
Large buffalo bulls weighed 1000
pounds or more, and cows weighed In
the neighborhood OF 100 pounds.
Herds numbering many thousands were
really irresistible and in a stampede
carried all before them.

JAPANESE STRATEGY.
The Clever Way Willy Old Warrior
Deceived tho Enemy.

Decoived tho Enemy.
Many man has failed to guess al
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like trap to him. Here Is an
instance In which this trait OF human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that If an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
~, and scouts rode up near the castle
to reconnoiter To their amazement,
they found the gates, doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music In the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to safe distance and en-
camped to await Developments.
Soon the re-enforcements for the cas-.
tie came up behind. attacked him sud.
denly and defeated him, while the gar
rison, which had risked all on its STRAIT
agem, charged him on the other side
