COLD PACK CANNING.

Cold pack canning is recommended
and demonstrated by agents of the U.
S. department of agriculture because
it is the surest and easiest method of
saving your surplus food.
/. 1t is equally good for vege-
tables, fruits or meats and any tight
ly lidded boiler or bucket serves for
the hot water boiler.
2. Requires no special utensils
or apparatus.
This year we have neither time,
you put up should keep and it will
keep if while canning you observe the
following precautions:
!. Select and prepare product. CD
Food is never improved by canning
If you would take good food out of a
jar, put fresh clean products in. Peas.
beans, corn and asparagus must be
handled quickly. Should be in the
can before six hours after gathering.
Place in boiler Immediately after
packing in jars. (2) Your success
will depend largely upon condition OF
your containers. a. Test every jar.
Do not use Clipped or cracked ones.
b. Test old or new lids. If edges are
rough, file. If uneven, press down
with knife end. Use no lids with
cracked enamel. C. Test rubbers by
stretching. Use only new fairly thick
elastic ones. These will hold firm
under even three hours cooking. (3)
Cleanliness is essential. Jars and lids
should be thoroughly washed and
boiled before using. Rubbers are
scalded..
9. Scald or Blanch. Blanching

moves Objectionable acid favors and
improves the color.
8. Dip in Cold Water The cold
dip should follow at once. If thor
oughly cold it will cool for Cd Han
ding; CD Crisping; CD Sealing in
color and juices.
4. Pack Close. The product
should be closely packed in hot jars
at once.
s. Add Boiling Syrup or Water.
For fruits, a boiling syrup made from
equal parts of sugar and water For
vegetables or meats, boiling water
and t. salt to each quart. The liquid
should be poured down center of jar
to prevent possible cracking. Fill to

There are many country store
keepers whose business is mostly re-
tail selling, but who buy eggs and
sometimes poultry from the farmers.
They have never considered them
selves as operators of poultry and
egg packing plants, but in reality
that is what they are. The fact that
they are in the retail business on too
small scale to require retailers
license does not alter the case. In
order to comply with the law they
must all fill out blanks obtained from

Progress of Settlement

During this year (1S50) settle
ments were considerably extended
and there was large increase in the
population of the territory.
Mr. Sylvester laid off and dedicat-
ed the Smithfield claim as a town,
giving it the name of Olympia at the
suggestion of Charles Hart Smith Of
the firm of Simmons & Smith, who
established this summer a store in
the town near the corner of First
and Main streets. The beautiful
snow-capped mountains of the Olym-
pic or Coast range, which constituted
the background of the glorious seem
cry enjoyed upon every clear day
looking northward from Olympia,
suggested the name.

settlement to the extreme north of
the Territory, locating himself "soli-

of the harbor of Port TOWNSEND. This

Though out of order of time, it is
proper here to add that in April,
1852, L. B. Hastings and family and
F. w. Pettygrove and family settled
at Port Townsend, and that Messrs.
Hastings and Pettygrove each con-

dedicated as a town the site of the
