different sizes. Note, also, the vege-
tables and fruits which require enamel
lined or inside-lacquered cans.
Packing.-The federal laws require
the cans packed for sale to be filled as ]
full of food as is practicable for proc
essing and to contain only enough
liquor to fill the spaces and cover the
contents. Weigh a sufficient number
of cans before and after filling to OBJ
tain an accurate idea of average net
weight. On account of expansion in
processing, corn can be packed less
full than other vegetables. These in
structiOns do not cover the canning of
corn for market. Mark the cans with
a pencil or knife to show contents.
After the fruit or vegetable is in the
can, brine, strip or water should be
added to within one-fOurth of an inch
of the top and the can shaken gently
to displace all air within it. The
groove around the opening is then
cleaned and wiped and the cap slipped
on. In order to make sure that the
contents of the can have the required
weight, the container should be
weighed carefully before sealing.
If the weight is satisfactory, fux
should be applied carefully around the
groove with a small brush Or cord, or
little mop made by tying piece of
clean white cloth around the end of
small stick. Great care must be
taken to see that none of the fux
enters tie can. The clean, hot Gaping
steel is then applied, the cap being
held in place with the center rod.
AS the steel is lowered it should be
turned steadily until the solder flows.
Hold the rod firmly and lift the steel
with a, sudden twist to swing the melt
ed solder evenly around the groove.
Exhaustinq and SteriIizing.
The next step is to exhaust the air
from the cans. To do this, they should
be placed in trays and lowered into
boiling water to within one inch of
the top. Ordinarily three minutes is
long enough for the cans to remain in
the water, which need not be brought
again to the boiling point before the
cans are taken out. A temperature OF
| $50 degrees F. is frequently sufficient
for exhausting. Failure to exhaust
results in the air which is left in the
can expanding. This causes the can
to bulge and gives the appearance of
"swell," which will not only prevent
the sale of that can, but prejudices GUS
toners in future. The leaders in the
government canning work insist that

sci. This is sometimes called a pro-
cessor. Cooking the food in the jar
to steriliZe it is known as processing.
This cooker must be large enough to
hold a convenient number Of packed
Jars and must be fitted with false
bottom and a tight cover. A wash
boiler, bucket, or galvanized tub can
be used for q professor. 1t may be
used on the kitchen stove or placed
on a furnace built out of doors. one
important factor is to be able to bring
the water in this cooker quickly to the
boiling point and maintain this temper
allure steadily. The false bottom Is
rack which keeps the jars from coming
in contact with the metal which is next
to the frame. This prevents breakage.
Racks made of strips of woods are
probably the best. Sometimes wire
netting, or perforated galvanized trays
are used. If the latter material IS
used, it should be raised about 1 1ncn
or 2 inches above the bottom OF the
vessel.
Three types of canning outfits can
be purchased. These are the hot-Wa-
ter, water-seal, and steam-pressure
outfits. The first is merely a conven-
lent form Of the outfit described above.
The other two make use of pressure
and therefore accomplish the neces-
sarv sterilization in a shorter ume
than when the hot-water outfit is used.
Canning in Glass.
In canning in glass, select jars which
are appropriate for the fruit or Vege-
table to be packed, considering the
size of the container from the stand
point of the quantity desired wnen
opened, the size of the fruit or pieces
of fruit to be packed and the ease OF
sterilization.
