CARE WILL PREVENT

"Care is the most important factor
in canning" says Miss Alice S. Hick.
man Of the Extension Division, L. s.
U. If directions are carefully fol.
lowed, and the jars, cans and rubbers
are properly sterilized no fruit or veg
etable should spoil in the containers.
Absolute cleanliness in all the uten.
sls used for canning and in all tho
surroundings is essential for complete
sterilization.
"To sterilize jars, wash thoroughly
and fill them with cold water. Place
them on false bottom made of straw
or wood in the boiler, to prevent the
jars from touching the bottom OF the
boiler. Pour cold water around the
jars and heat gradually until the wa

TAKE CHANCES ON SUCCESS
Crews of American Whaling Ships
Work on a Basis of Cooperation,
and Profits Are Divided.

The business principles of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex-
cellent example of Industrial co-opera-
ton. A ship is stocked and equipped
by the owners. and the profits of the
cruise are distributed In the ratio Of
-two-thirds to the capital invested and
one-third TO labor. No member of the
crew receives wages or guarantee Of
any sort, but to each Is allotted a GER
tain share, termed the "lay," of the
net results. In general, the captains
lay ranges from a fifteenth to an
eighth, according to his whaling rec
ord. The mate and three lower Off
GERS, the four boat-steerers or har-
pOonerS, the cooper, steward, cook,
carpenter. seamen and green hands re-
ceiye proportionate shares, and so
down to the cabin boy. whose lay is In
the neighbOrhood of one two-hun-
dredth, called the long lay" Thus
the profit of each individual depends
upon the success of the cruise. Ships
have sometimes failed to pay for their
fitting out; ON the other hand, the On
ward Of New Bedford once returned
with a catch worth at the prevailing
prices S395,000, of which the captains
lay was $4,000, and that of the least
member of the crew about $1,000

Some important Cases Have Been Set

Halls Of Justice.

The late Sir Thomas Bucknill. when
vacation judge, once granted an in
Junction On the golf links while actual
ly playing round. relates Answers.
On another occasion he granted an
INDUCTION while out shooting. On the
case coming into court. counsel said:
"Your lordship may recall the case"
Indeed do" replied the judge, be
cause l nearly killed a pheasant, bar
rister and a solicitor with one shot"
Quite lately one judge tried a motor
accident case on the very spot on
which it had occurred. and a few years
ago a case concerning ancient lights"
was decided under a tree In a heavy
storm.
Not long since n chancery Judge
heard an application In the waiting
rooms of a railway station.
A woman charged with stealing was
tried by magistrate in the streets Of
Hoole. and Il will be remembered that
the late lord chief Justice emulated
Sir Thomas Bucknin by deciding a
question in the Crippen case on the
golf links.
And, doubtless, other judges would
welcome the opportunity 70 do their
work far from the stufy courts.

countlna up 70 aRoomflt."

A reader who was interested In the
Indian counting" that the Companion
told about on this page some months
rgo, has found IN the London Chroni-
Gle something about similar sort OF
counting that was long in use in 9
retired part of England. The Chron'
icle says:
The elder generation of farmers in
one of our northern dales used q
strange set of numerals. especially
when counting sheep. They made q
gap in the wall Just wide enough to
admit one sheep at a time, and as the
sheep went through they counted
them, making a notch In a stick al
every fifteen.
Phonetieally the numerals sound
like "Yann, tame. tether, neither, pip
sax, safe. caterer, wheeler. dick
yann-er-ilck. tane-er-dick, tether-er.
dick. mcther-er-dlck, boomflt."
"Boorlfit" was fifteen; when they
reached it they made a notch in the
stick and began the strange chant all
over again.-Youth's Companion.

One of the ring spinners at the mill

The cab duly arrived, and the two

In order to create an impression dur

90 on unless we could identify our

Stantons laugh was derlsive shout,
"You need a guardian. kinzle; you
do. for a fact!F he sneered. "Of
course. the girl pulled the wool over
your eyes; any woman could do that -
You are not gaining anything by
being abusive, Stanton. This man Of
Baldwin's is not the one Mr.. Richland-
er is trying to describe In that letter"
Stanton bit the tip from cigar and
struck a light.
'Kinzie," he said. you think we're
going to lose out. and you are trying
TO throw me of the scent. You hsd Il
long talk with Colonel Baldwin this
morning. kept cases on that, too
and you figured that you'd make money
by seesawlng again. I'm glad to be-
able to tell you that you are just about
twenty-four hours too late"
The round-bodied banker righted his
pivot chair with a snap and his lips
were pulled out like the lips of "a swim
mer who sees the saving plank drifting
out of reach.
You are wrong, Stanton; altogether
wrong!" he protested. Baldwin was

final attempt to swing him over to the

greatest possible injustice 90
Stanton rose and made ready to go.
Il think that would be rather hard
to do. Kinzie," he flung back. NO
body loves a trimmer But in the pres
ent case you are not going to lose any
thing. Wen take your stock at par,
as l promised you we would"
1t was at this crisis that David Kin
zie showed himself as the exponent Of
the saying that every man has his
modicum of saving grace, by shifting
upon the arm of his chair and glarlng
up at the promoter.
There's another promise of yours
that you've got to remember, too, Stan
ton" he argued hoarsely. you've got
to hold Dexter Baldwin harmless"
Stanton's smile was a mask of pure
malice. i've made you no definite
promise as to that: but you shall have
one now. I'll promise to break Bald
win in two and throw him and his
ranchmen hackers out of the TIman-
yoni. That's what you get for playing
fast and loose with two people at the
