Practically all vegetables except the
tomato need to be canned by the three
day process; that is they are to be
cooked / hour for three successive
days after blanching, packing, and
seasoning according to directions. The
tomato and all fruits need to be cook
ed only once for the length of time
given in directions-about 20 to 80
minutes, according to size of contain
er.
Too much trouble and work you say
to use the three-day process? Well,
there is nothing worth while but
what there is some work connected
with it. 1t is much better to do the
work correctly and keep all products
>as good, wholesome food than to do
it by shorter, quicker method and lose
half CIR probably all of your products,
with the time and labor used.
You ask, "Why cook three days
when it seems that cooking longer
one day should do as well?'' Suppose
you were going away to visit and said
to your son: "Son, cultivate the gar
den once a week during the three
| am gone" AS soon as you were out
of sight he said to himself, "I'll cult
vate it three times this afternoon and
then I'll not have to bother with it the
second and third weeks" Would one
long cultivation the first day have
done as we'll as three week apart?
Would you not find the garden almost
as full of weeds at the end of the third
week as if your son hadn't cultivated
it at all? The first days cultivation
or cooking kills the live weeds or
germs. The period between gives the
seeds or spores time to develop. The
scond days us of the hoe or heat kills
the weeds or live germs, and the third
cultivation or cooking kills those par
ticularly hardy or slow to terminate.
Germs after all are but a low form
of vegetable life.

Canning with powder liquid acid
or other commercial preparation is a
sin against ones family. Z does not
take much knowledge to know this.
The spelling or breaking down of food
is caused by bacteria and it does not
take much thinking to realize that
any material strong enough to kill all
germ life, must be strong enough to-
injure the delicate membranes of the
stomach, intestines, and kidneys.
These preserving powders often
cause cases of cancer of the stomach
and are very injurious in many ways
to growing children. They are in
large measure made CT the same ma
terials as the undcrtakers use for en-
balming the dead. The fact that any
small but persistent amount OF these
preservatives are very slow in show
ing; that the effects are what the doc.
tors call cumulative, does not mean
that they are any less deadly, but rath-
err more SO because they are trcach-
erouS.

For vegetables that need to be
canned by the three-day process the
glass top jar with wire clamp is much
better than the screw top jar For at
the end of each cooking the jar must
be sealed tight, and at the beginning
of each cooking must be partly I'M
sealed to prevent steam from breaking
jar while cooking; so by the time the
three cookings have been finished the
rubber on the screw top jar has been
injured some by screwing and I'M
screwing and may leave an air hole
which will cause food to spoil. Use
the screw top jar if you have them al
ready, for tomatoes and fruits which
have to be cooked only one time.
