Preparations for Canning.

The first steps in all canning, says
the United States department Of ag-
riculture, consist in the preparation
and cleaning Of containers and in the
preparation Of the products to be
canned by washing, pairing, trimming,
and cutting into pieces where division
Is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with clean hands, clean utensils,
clean, sound, fresh products, and pure,
clean, soft water. No vegetables or
fruits which are withered or unsound
should be canned. If possible, only
fruits and vegetables picked the day
of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly,
should be canned, in fact, within five
hours If choice product is desired.
Before the preparation Of the prod
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crockery Jars
are used they should be placed in a
vessel Of cold water over a fire to
i heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used. All products should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared If
necessary, and small fruits, berries,
and greens picked over carefully.
