Intermittent Boiling.

For the benefit of those to whom
the intermittent boiling or processing
may not be familiar. 1t may be ex-
planned that this consists merely Of
placing the cans or Jars of material to
be treated in the boiler or Gamer, and
boiling for the required length of time
on each of three successive days. By
many this is considered a safer pro-
cedure than the use of single long
period of boiling.
If you employ this method, when the
jars are being given the second and
third boiling treatments, you should
loosen the clamps or unscrew the lids
slightly Just before you place them
again in the boiling water. Tighten
covers at the end of each boiling. AS
the seal of the Jars Is loOsened slight
ly during each boiling. the metal
capped jars, sometimes called "her-
metic" jars. are not suited to inter-
mIttent work. Jars with self-sealing
wire-clamped tops are most satisfac-
tory to use In intermittent canning.
Save your screw-top Jars for packing
fruits and tomatoes. which require but
one period of boiling In water-bath
outfit.

HAD SEEN THEM "AT WORK.
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His
Brains over Question Propounded
by Teacher.

Here is II little story that was told
at II social session by Representative
Hubert ID. Stephens of Mississippi, az
an Illustration that the best industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work:
Some time since. the teacher of II
public school In a country town was
instructing Juvenile class in mathe-
matics when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.
Tommy" said she, ''if your father
can do piece of work in six days and
your uncle Jim can do 1t In seven days,
how long would II take them to do 1t
together?'
About ten thousand years" was the
rather startling rejoinder of Tommy.
"Ten thousand years" exclaimed
the teacher. "Why. Tommy, what do
you mean?"
Il mean" was the prompt response
of Tommy. ''thnt II you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence, smoke ana swap fish stories. -

Special Considerations.

A single period Of processing In tho
water bath has been found generally
satisfactory for the canning of fruits
and such acid vegetables as tomatoes.
Lima beans. peas, corn and certain
other vegetables having high protein
content, or which. because of their
thick consistency, do not allow the
heat to penetrate to the center of the
can readily. are more difficult to ster-
ilize, and hence, where the hot-water
bath is used, either by the single con-
tinuous or by the intermittent process,
a small percentage of loss by spoilage
may be expected. However. scrupu-
lous care In the selection, preparation
and processing of these products will
reduce this loss to minimum.
A single-period processing with
steam under pressure of 10 to 10
pounds. in n pressure Gamer or cooker.
Is strongly recommended for the han
ding of such products, for by It's use
loss due to insufficient sterilization
may be largely eliminated.
