HABIT.
The Outfit.
There are on the market many
commercial canning outfits of vari-
GUS sizes ranging in price from IS
up. Each OUTFIT has something 10
recommend il: some may be used
outdoors, some allow a large num-
Der OF cans TO be sterilized at once.
some permit sterilizing under pres
sure. some may be used for cooking
as well as Canning. If a commercial
outht can be afforded the one which
most nearly meets the individual
needs should be selected and direc-
tions accompanying outfit followed.
lSee OUTFIT in county agricultural
agents ofice)
Equally as satisfactory results
will be obtained by using a home
made OUTFIT as by using a CONNER
cial Gamer. A homemade outfit
consists Of:
IA vessel with a tight fitting
cover deep enough TO allow the cans
10 be completely immersed in water.
"A false bottom or rack, which
prevents the cans from resting di-
rectly on the bottom and permits
free circulation Of water about the
cans.
A wash boiler. lard can. bucket
or galvanized pail may be used
Stats held together by cross pieces
or some similar device made to fit
the vessel should be used as a false
bottom. Heavy wire handles may
be attached 10 the ends of the rack
so that the cars may be lifted out
at one time. A wire hook is great
help in taking out those cans hav-
ing a wire bale A wire potato
masher may De used 10 take out
other cans As rule il is we'll not
TO allow the cans TO cool in the
water as this may result in over
cooking Hot cans should not be
placed in a draft when cooling or
they are liable TO crack.
A steamer or fireless cooker may
be used for sterilizing as we'll as the
oven. In the latter instance the
cans must stand in a pan of water
or on a sheet of asbestos to avoid
being cracked by the heat. In these
cases experience will soon determine
the time necessary for sterilizing.
Kinds of Cans.
Any tin or glass can which can
be sealed air tight may be used sue
cessfully. For home use glass is
decidedly preferable. Cans having
metal tops are harder to keep clean
and are more likely to cOrrode than
the all glass jar. The vacuum can
demands new tops each year but
gives excellent results. A good
quality of glass, clear and free from
roughness should be selected. A can
having a wide mouth permits more
satisfactory packing and more
thorough cleaning.
Steps i'm Cold-Pack Canning.
All vegetables and most fruits @re
treated practically the same in can
ming by the cold-pack process.
(Berries and some soft fruits are
neither scalded nor blanched)
1-Select material.
Grade. wash, trim.
3-Scald or blanch per time
table
Gold dip.
5.-Pack closely in clean contain
ers.
Add syrup or brine.
PLACE rubber and cover loose
ly.
S.-Sterilize per time table.
9.-Tighten cover and invert TO
cool (Do not invert vacuum cans)
1O.-Examine for leaks.
11.-Store away from light 10
avoid fading.

Stop
Teutons; Enemy
Losses Fearful

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. - Rome
dispatches Monday confirming ear
lier reports Of a lull after the fierce
fighting in which the Teutons failed
to break through the Italian lines,
say the Austro-Germal. commander
sacrificed hundreds of thousands of
his best men without improving his
position.
This description OF the situation is
gwen
TeutOns Are Exhausted.
The fierce lighting of the last few
days has subsidized into a period of
comparative calm. The superhuman
resistance of the Italian soldiers pre-
vented the Austro- Germans from
attaining the strategical advantages
of their objective, although they
succeeded in obtaining gains of pure
ly tactical character. The failure
of the enemy attacks is indicated by
the inactivity on the entire front for
three consecutive days. The invad-
ers have desisted from attacking the
positions in the direction of the
Brenta canal on account Of the COM
plete exhaustion of the forces en-
gagged.
This result is so much more inn
pOrtant because Of the German sys-
TEN of employing large bodies of
troops and of repeating the effort
with always increasing violence in
order to reach the goal. One must
also consider the fact that in noun
tain warfare a victory will not pro-
duce the desired effect unless * is
exploited with unreleEting action.
Sacrifice Hundreds OF Thousands.
Gen. Conrad has sacrificed hun
dreds of thousands OF his best SOL
diers in successive assaults preceded
by unprecedented artillery prepare
ton and today the position of the
Austro- Germans while not improved
by the progress made is in fact more
unfavofable TO them than at the be-
ginning Of the offensive because of
/ the difficulties of revictualing the
| troops. it being necessary for the
| invaders to transport all the water
| To their positions. The heavy snow
| falls of the season will also aggra-
vate the hardships of the enemy and
! threaten the lines of communica-
ton
ct may be stated. therefore. that
! the central powers have failed to
/ obtain their concrete general objec-
/ tive, namely to break through our
| lines and lead the victorious armies
into the plains of Italy where they
expected 10 find comfortable shelter
