Growing Specialties.

1t will pay the home gardener to
grow certain speclalties of which he
may be fond, and which may be
troublesome or expensive to purchase.
Okra is an example of this class, and
little beds of parsley, chlves or other
herbs take up very little room and
provide the housewife with additions
for her table which are most welcome
If they can be picked conveniently and
at the right moment.

The same kind of vegetables should
not be grown twice, If this can be
avoided, in the same part of the gar
den. If a radically different kind Is
grown, disease spores and insects,
though present In the soil, probably
will not attack the second crop.

PLANTING Castor Beans.

A bushel of castor beans of the India
variety will plant from 10 to 20 acres.
The seed should be soaked in warm
water for II to "a hours before plant

Beans of any kind should not be
planted any deeper than is necessary
to secure good termination. This

on heavy soil it should not be more
than / Il to 11s inches.

General Foch's reserves have begun
TO come into action in the fight
against the powerful German thrust
southwark from the Aisne and the en-
emy is finding his progress increas-
ingly difficult in consequence.
Again the allied flanks are stand
ing firm and while Scissors has been
lost on the west, Rheims is still hold
ing out on the easterly edge of the
battle front.
The chief progress of the Germans
revealed in official reports was in the
center of their advance, where some
three miles additional ground have
been covered from Loupeigne, twelve
miles north of the Marne, to Fere-En-
| Tardenois.
wedge Is shown to run here from
Fere- -En-Tardenois about ten and a
half miles directly east Of Visilly, fif-
teen and a half miles southwest OF
Rheims.
Along this line the Germans are
about eighteen miles south of the
Chemin-Des-Dames giving them pen
etration of approximately that dis
tance at the beginning of the fifth day
of their offensive.
SCISSORS fell to the Germans after
fierce fight in the streets of the city
| for caveral hours. The enemy advance
| to Scissors has not yet affected
| greatly the French line eastward from
| Montdidier, from which the Germans
| apparently hope to bend back by their
| success on tne Aisne. The curve In
the battle line northwest of Rheims
has been wiped out, and from Sois
sons eastward the line runs southeast
and then east into the Champagne.
In the center of the forty-five-mile
front, where the German progress has
been greatest, the enemy forces are
now near Loupeigne, four miles north
of the River Ourcq and twelve miles
north of the Marne. The fighting is
almost entirely on territory untouched
by the war since 1914. Berlin, in its
latest report, claims the number OF
prisoners has increased to $4,000.

HEROES GRAVES DECORATED.

Washington.-A nation united paic
solemn tribute on Memorial Day to its
heroes of the past and its heroes OF
the present.
In prayer and fasting, following out
its Presidents request, the country
took grave heed OF the past and in
tense inventory of the present. The
withered ranks of Civil War veterans,
who went to tenderly place upon
tombs of the fighters of other days
a garland of memory, were joined by
those of the present generation who
honored the living heroes and the dead
martyrs of today's contest with autoc.
racy.
The lines of North and South. long
since obliterated, cast no shadow on
the observance of the, national holi-
day. For the Northland and the
Southland made it a unified and con.
secrated time, sacred to the men OF
GA, but even more sacred to the boys
of 1918, who fight not alone to save
a nation, but to save world.
President Wilson, following his own
precepts, attended church, joining in
prayers for victory to the cause OF
America and her allies.

TOMATOES IN GLASS

Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes of medium size. Put into
trays and lower into boiling water for
one minute. then plunge into cold wa
ter for a few seconds until skins slip
easily. Remove and cut out the core
with a slender-pointed knife without
cutting into the seed cells. Peel
promptly and pack into previously
boiled quart jars. Add one teaspoon
full sugar and half teaspoonful salt
seasoning and fill the jars with hot
thick tomato sauce. (This procedure
is economical, because each quart Jar
will give whole tomatoes for salads
or baking and tomato puree for
soups or sauces.) This puree, or sauce,
which is poured over the whole toma-
toes, is made by cooking the small or
broken tomatoes until tender. The
seeds and skins are then removed and
the pulp is concentrated by boiling 1t
to about the consistency of ketchup.
Place cleansed rubber rings and lids
on the jars, but do not seal tightly.
Put filed Jars on a false bottom in a
water bath and boil (process) for 80
minutes, counting from the time the
hot-water bath begins to boil around
the jars again. This one boiling is
sufficient. AS each jar is taken from
the boiler, seal 1t tightly and when
cold test for leaks. Store in cool, dark,
dry place. Test again the next day
for leaks and If any are found add
cleansed new rubber ring or top II
necessary and reboil. If a steam-pres-
sure Gamer is used process quarts for
ten minutes under eight pounds steam
pressure.

BERRIES

For dewberries, blackberries, logan
berries, huckleberries, raspberrles and
currants practically the same methods
Of canning may be used. The condi-
ton of the fruit will have much to do
with the quality of the product. Ber-
ries should be gathered in shallow
trays or baskets and not in deep ves-
sells which allow them to be bruised
and crushed. They should be Uniform
ly ripe, sound, and as large as possi-
BILE.
After the berries have been sorted
carefully and washed lightly by plac-
Ing in colander and pouring water
over them, instead Of immersing them
In water, pack as closely as possible
without crushing. This can be done
better by putting a few berries into
the Jar, pressing them gently into
place, and proceeding layer by layer
than by nearly filling the jar loosely
and then trying to press them down,
Fill jars full OF fruit and cover
with hot sirup. Boiling berry juice or
other sirups can be used instead of
sugar sirup. Partially seal Jars. Boil
(prOcess) pints ten minutes and
quarts twelve minutes. Seal. When
cold test for leaks and store In cool
dark, dry place.
The use Of sugar sirup, made by
boiling three pounds and nine ounces
of sugar to one gallon Of water and
straining, adds to the flavor of the
canned berries. The use of berry

RHUBARB

Because of its extreme acidity, rhu-
barb can be canned safely without
boiling (processing). Rhubarb should
not be canned In ordinary metal or in
jars with ordinary metal tops. Only
glass or cans specially enameled inside
may be used.
Select young. tender rhubarb and
cut either into twO-inch pieces or into
lengths to fit the jar when placed ver-
tically. Pack in sterilized jars in ver-
teal rows. Cover with fresh cold wa
ter and allow Jars to stand ten min
utes. Drain off the water and again
fill to overf1owing with fresh cold wa
ter. Use cleansed rubber, put on glass
cap and clamp at once. In the far
South rhubarb should be boiled (pro-
cessed) in a hot-water bath (pints ten
minutes, quarts 20 minutes) at boil
ing.
Since rhubarb contains much water,
a better and more economical product
could be secured by canning rhubarb
sauce. Cut the rhubarb into One-inch
lengths and steam until tender. For
each quart of sauce add half a cupful
of sugar. Rnek hot In sterillzed jars.
Partially seal. Boil (process) quarts
for ten minutes. When jars are cold,
test for leaks. Store In a cool, dark,
dry place.--United States Department
of Agriculture.
Mexico Missouri message., 1918-09-05
SWEET CORN

Successful home canning Of sweet
corn depends upon careful selection Of
tender, juicy corn in the milk stage.
Corn for canning should never stand
longer than few minutes after being
taken from the stalk. Corn which is
past the milky stage or is stale is very
difficult to can.
Remove husk and silk. Blanch on
the cob by dipping into boiling water
from one to three minutes or until
milk is set. Have clean hands, and all
utensils scalded. Gut corn off the cob.
Pack Immediately into previously boil
ed jars to within one inch of the top,
but do not pack too lightly. Add sea-
soning (one-third level teaspoonful salt
and two-thirds teaspoonful sugar) to
each pint of corn, and Ill jars with
clear hot water. Paddle to allow
liquor to penetrate to the bottom OF
the jar and to remove all air bubbles.
Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars IL hours at IS pounds pressure.
Seal Immediately, cool as rapidly as
possible, but do so In a place free from
drafts. Do not put into cold water, as
the Jars win crack. When cold test
for leaks and store in q cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent process is used,
boil pint jars ~ hours the first day
and one hour on the second and third
days. Loosen covers before each sub
sequent boiling, and seal completely
after boiling. Cool, test for leaks, and
store.
If the single-period continuous boil
ing process is employed, boil for at
least three hours. Seal, cool, test for
leaks, and store.
Take every precaution to have good
rubber and absolutely tight jars. Test
for leaks each time jars become cold
and again "a hours after processing.
All Jars showing slightest sign Of leaks
must be refitted with rubber and re-
processed.
Usually a better-havored finished
corn product can be obtained by drying
the corn instead of canning it.-United
States Department Of Agriculture.

ASPARAGUS

Asparagus for canning must be
fresh and tender. This is Of the great
est importance. Select tips of uniform
size and maturity and wash them. Cut
In right length for cans, scrape off
tough outer skin, and tie In bundles.
Blanch by immersing the lower ends
part way In boiling water for two min
utes. Then immerse the entire tips
for one to two minutes longer. Plunge
into a cold saltwater bath Zone table
spoonful salt to one quart water).
Drain and pack neatly, tips up. Fill
jars with hot brine flour ounces of
salt to one gallon Of water) and par
TALLY seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars 80 minutes at Is pounds pres
sure. Seal Immediately, cool, and test
for leaks, and store in a cool, dark,
dry place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, process In the hOt-water bath for
one hour on each of three successive
days. Loosen the covers before each
subsequent boiling, and seal tightly
after each boiling. Cool, test for leaks
and store.
If the >one-period, continuous boil
ing process is employed, boil for at
least three hours. Seal, cool, test and
store.-United States Department of
