CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR.
Bertha A. Holden, Home Economics
Specialist Tells How

If the desired amount of sugar cannot
be obtained during the canning season,
can fruits without sugar, says Bertha A.
Holden, home economies specialist for the
agricultural extension service of the Uni
versity of Vermont and state agricultural
college. The sugar may be added when
the fruits are served and when sugar is
more plentiful The best flavor is OBJ
tanned by making a syrup of the fruit
Juice and sugar, adding the fruit to the
hot syrup and allowing it to cool. This
gives satisfactory canned fruit which
may save a waste of fruit during the
summer, well as preparing for the win
ter months.
When a few special points are observed
The canning may be done successfully
without sugar. Only ripe, fresh. firm and
sound fruits and berries should be select
ed 1t is also important to sterilze the
fruits for longer time than when sugar
is used.
In canning berries without sugar, the
hot jars may be filed with fresh fruit
and then pour on boiling water, instead
| of a fruit syrup Place the scalded rubber
and glass top on the jar, partially sea
| by placing the wire over the top anC
steriize i'll a hot water bath, countin,
the time when the water begins to boil
The water should cover the Jars at leas
an inch Sterilize for 80 minutes, remov
| ars and seal Immediately
| In canning hard fruits, such as peaches
apples, and pears, more preparation i
needed than for berries. Peaches may b
scaldcd to loosen the skin and dipped il
cold water for few seconds; then pee
and proceed as for berries Apples an
pears may be pared cored, and cut i
sections and placed Immediately into colo
slightly sailed water to keep from dis
coloring Plunge into boiling water t

tered the employ of the company 1t is
claimed that on May II the company
was indebted to him to the extent OF
$27 so He claims the company owed
him $1S on May 10 and that on May Il
he had $40 coming to him in salary
arrears.
The statute provides that the pay
ment of employees in the service Of
corporations and companies shall re
ceive the pay weekly, at the end O
each six days labor. 1t also provides
for the penalty of $50 for each offense
the penalty to be collected by tn
county prosecuting officer following !
