Canning Time. Table Revised.

Canning lime. Table Revised.
Reports have come to the Univer-
sity of Missouri College of Aericul-
ture indicating that the method of
canning vegetables which mas prov
ell completely successful in previ-
Gus years is resulting in number
of failures this year No sdtiSfac-
tory reason can be offered except
that there is some evidence that the
baCt eria which cause canned vege-
tables to spoil are more resistant
in some years than others Il is
probable also that the inferior can
rubberS and can tops on the market
this year may be causiut the
trouble.
In the absence of satisfactory
explanation of the trouble which
housewives have been hHvine with
canned vegetables. the College Of
Agriculture rec, mmpudS that the
uerinn OF sterilaz tlon Tor certain
vegetables be Increased ia Accord
ancr with tn" following. The time
for sierillzjne, asparagus which was
| l-2 hours Should b. increased to
? hours, green's formerly | , hours
increased to 2 hours. pumpkin
formerly | hour increased to 2
hours. lima beans formerly , hours
Increased to B hours, peas iuryerly
z hours increased to 3 hours.
This change in the time of Steril-
lzltion does not mean that the
shorter period is not correct with
careful work and with conditions
as they have been III previous years
but the longer period will tend TO
correct imperfect woThm snship and
the unusual CONDITIONS which seem
to prevail this year.
The foll0wina points are again
emphasized:
Do not begin to count time
when the jlrs are placed in the can
ner but wait until the water begins
to boil hard
2 Count time only while water
is boiling hard II it stops for only
a few minutes, make up for lost
time with longer boiling
3. Use only new rubbrrS. Ifthey

under the lid or are cut by the lid
when it is screwed dpw1, remove
the rubber, replace il wrtl a new
one which has been placed in boil
IND water ior 10 minutes Then
place the jar back in the Gamer
and sterlIize 80 minutes longer.
4 Fit lids carefully before pllc-
ing the product in the can.
5. Do not be alarmed if the
water does not cover the product in
the can, II will keep just as well,
Some water will escape in the form
Of steam if tn" lid is not fairly
tight and some will be absorbed by
the product especially if it is corn
or mature peas and beans.

With your children it's different. Moth

them.
