RULES TO FOLLOW
CANNING Green
PEAS and BEANS

Washington, D. c., July 10.-House-
keepers can easily can surplus green
peas and snap beans, which are be-
ginning to appear in home gardens in
many sections. The season has been
unusually. good for peas, and home
gardeners in many localities are re-
porting Unexpectedly heavy yields.
Either of these products readily can
be canned with no other home equip
ment than Jars or cans and a wash
boiler ffted with a false bottom of
stats to keep the jars from resting on
the bottom.
Here are directions given by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture to the members Of girls canning
clubs in the Northern and Western
States:
Do not try to can peas or beans that
have been long off the vines-the
fresher the vegetables the better the
product.
| Shell peas. In case of beans string
and cut them as if for cooking.
| Put the prepared vegetables in a
cheese cloth bag or colander and
blanch in live steam from boiling
water for from to 10 minutes.
Next dip the blanched product
quickly in cold water and remove it
almost Immediately.
Pack the product Immediately into
hot scalded glass jars or tin cans.
| Fill the containers completely with
boiling hot water to which has been
added level teaspoonful of salt per
quart. Place rubber rings on jars and
screw tops almost, but not completely
tight. The water in the boiler will
not enter these partially closed jars.
| Put the jars or cans in boiling wa
| 20 in, co hat ~ he
tops are partly or wholly covered.
Sterilize for 100 minutes in the boil
ing water counting from the time the
water begin to boil again. If other
canning outfits are used. sterilize as
follows
] Water seal, 214 degrees, 100 min
utes
/ Five pounds steam pressure, 60 min
utes
i Ten to 10 pounds steam pressure, 40
minutes.
young tender peas may be sterilized
in 120 minutes.
1 Remove jars from boiler or ster-
flizer, tighten covers, invert to cool
( and test the Joints for leakage. Elk
anime cans for leaks Even the
slightest leak if not closed completely
at once, means that the product in al
4 probability will not keep.
Do not place glass jars to cool in a
draft which is liable to cause them tc
crack Wrap jars in paper to prevent
blanching, and store in a cool place.
If peas are roughly handled in
lb1anching or cold dipping, or split OF

Child Nursed BY a Goat

The story of Romulus and Remus
is known to all men. Whether the
story of their being nursed by wolf
is true or not we shall never know,
for that is not a matter of record We
do know. however, that child
aboard British frigate Swallow was
nurSed by goat. The Swallow on
July 10, 1912, was engaged in a, Sc
we're action with a French ship off the
island OF Majorca- One of the sailors,
named Phelan, had his wife aboard.
In such circumstances the women
were supposed to help the surgeons
attend to the wounded. The two
ships were engaged at close quarters
and Phelan, with many others was
severity wounded. His wife ran to his
side to do what she could for him.
He was, however, hopelessly Injured.
They kissed and embraced and in the
next instant a cannon bali took off the
heroic woman's head. Phelan died
almost Immediately after his wife.
When the battle was over the two
were sewed up in a hammock and
consigned to the deep Three weeks
before this incident Mrs Phelan had
given birth to a boy. The unfortu-
nate child was thus left with no one
to care for it but rough but tender
hearted sailors. They were all ex-
treme1y anxious to father the infant
but the child needed most was a
mother to nurse it. In this extremity
| the tars bethought themselves Of the
fact that one of the officers aboard
the ship had for pet female NAL
tese goat. They suggested to the Of
| ficer that the goat be requisitioned to
play the part Of nursing mother to the
orphaned infant. The officer at once
| fell in with the idea and the child
was put to the goat for nursing. The
child followed its natural instincts in
the matter and the goat became SO ac-
customed to nursing the child that
| it would lie down voluntarily and per-
NIT the youngster to nurse. Goats
milk is known to be very nourishing
and little Tommy, as the sailors call
ed him, prospered with his substitute
for natural parent. He was brought
to shore many months later and given
over to an orphan asylJ1n1

Raise Rabbits To
Increase Meat Supply

Washington, D. c., July 10-Rab-
bits, which have proved a valuable
source of food in Europe during the
present war, may we'll be raised more
extensively in America by way of re-
during the drain on the ordinary meat
supply, according to biologists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The business of growing
rabbits, the specialists point out,
adults not engaged in military or
other national service, or in regular
Industrial employment. The animals
may be raised in back yards of cities
and towns as well as on farms
The Belgian hare, says statement
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, breeds rapidly, ma
lures quickly, and produces palat-
able and highly nutritious meat The
cost Of production is less than that of
any other meat, not excepting pou1-
try. The supply can be greatly in
creased within a few months, with
out requiring space that may be
needed for the production of crops.
Practical experience has demonstrat-
ed that rabbit meat can be produced
in unlimited quantities at a. cost of
about cents pound; and by utiliz-
/ ing lawn cuttings and other vegeta-
ton that would otherwise be wasted,
the cost cam be made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant
rabbits are recommended for meat
production. as the ordinary tame rab-
bit is smaller and develops ore slow
~. Stock of Belgian hares may be
bought from breeders in nearly all
the States at 81 to SO each. They
may occasionally. be had from pet
stock dealers. Fancy pedigreed stock
is not required for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept They eat
hay grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when or
| 10 months old, and curing the year
should raise four Filters of about six
young each. Well fed, the young
reach marketable size when to 4
months old and average from to 6
pounds live weight

published a bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helpful to those
who wish to engage In this pursuit
