Rhubard Easily Canned.

No vegetable can be canned
more easily than rhubarb. The
large amount of acid present as
a preservatiye so that it will
keep if put away in sterile water
and sterile jars. There is little
point in canning it in this way,
however, for it must be cooked
before being used. Furthermore,
since it shrinks on cooking, it
is a waste of space to can it raw.
This is an important considera-
ton this year especially when
jars are so scarce.
DR.. Louise Stanley of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture Of
fers the following suggestions
for canning rhubarb:
Cut the rhubarb in half-inch
lengths. Do not remove the out
side layer since it cooks soft and
its red color gives a very attrac-
tive pink tinge to the sauce. Pack
in glass jars and add sugar in
the same proportion as for
sauce, about one-half by weight
as much sugar as rhubarb. Put
on a rack in any vessel large e.
nough to allow the water to
reach almost to the top of the
jars. Let the water surrounding
the jars boil fifteen minutes. Re-
move the jars. The contents viii
have shrunk considerably so that
the contents of some jars may
be used to fill the rest. FIJI COM
pletely. Adjust rubbers, put on
the tops loosely, return again to
the water and boil five minutes.
Remove and tighten covers while
still boiling hot.
Another method equally sue
cessful is to put the rhubarb and
sugar in a baking dish with a
cover and bake until tender. Add
no water for there is plenty in
the rhubarb. When tender fill
sterile jars with the mixture.
Place jars in hot water bath and
boll1ve minutes. Seal while not
Rhubarb may be canned sue,
cessfully without sugar. In that
case sugar must be added at The
ltimc the rhubarb IS served.

The city of Joplin, after three years
of commission government, had so
much money in its treasury that the
commissioners voted to subscribe for
$4,000 worth of the Liberty Loan
bonds. The police department appro-
priated $4,000 from its relief fund and
the fire department $4,000 from its re-
lief fund for a similar purchase. Each
of the funds was created under com
mission rule. When the commission
ers took charge three years ago there
was only a little more than $1,000 in
the general fund, from which all ex-
penses Of a general nature are paid.

Can the Surplus Asparagus.

Ian the Surplus Asparagus.
Does your asparagus bed pro-
duce more than you can eat?
Then by all means can it, says
DR.. Louise Stanley of the Mis-
sour College of Agriculture. It's
spring-like flavor will be enjoy
ed next winter.
Asparagus should be canned
as soon as possible after gath
ering. This means that it may
be necessary to can a few jars
at one time but if asparagus is
allowed to stand more than a
few hours after being cut the
delicate flavor is destroyed and
it is more difficult to keep.
The stalks should be cleaned
and any hard portions removed.
They may be canned whole or
cut into half inch pieces depend
ing upon the form in which the
vegetable is to be served. Pack
into jars, cover with water, and
add a teaspoonful of salt to each
quart jar. Then adjust cover
loosely, place in a water bath and
boil two hours. Remove immedi-
ately and tighten the covers
while they are hot.
