 All Respects.

of tho greoesst oonvenisnees for the nooesn housewife. Whether tt is the biz eannor operated on fts own fur naee anl capable of turning out six han61od cans . day. e the modest little pressure sookss operated on one burner of an oil stove and answering tho needs of . small family, the prin. ciple is the same, and the result. cor tain.
 Tue steam pressure cannsr worxs senctively in canning fruits, vegeta. bles, greens. soups, meats, and al. most anything that Is preserved m cans Even corn. peas, green beans, okra. pumpkin, hominy and sweet DO tatoes; those vegetables most difficult 10 keep by the hot water process ar. successfully steriliz2d by this method 1 The period of processing Is shorter than for other methods. the percen. 1 tage of spoilage from mold or hot weather is very small.
 The cold pack method described in the government canning bulletins Is used for all fruits and vegetables. Af- 1 ter blanching, the cold product Is packed into freshly sterlzed jars The jars are placed in the steam vat, the vat is closed tightly and the heat l IS turned on, subjecting the contents of the cans to a pressure of i've, ten or fifteen pounds according to the diff 1 fculty of sterilizing that particular 1 vegetable or fruit.
 Meats also are successfully canned on the farm by steam pressure, but the process differs a little from that l of canning vegetables. The meat is cooked about three-fourths done, by any recipe desired After removing the bone, the meat is packed hot into the cans and the juices poured over It boiling hot. Il Is subjected to high ar pressure and for a longer period than are vegetables
 Canning fresh meats on the farm has these advantages: CD The far mer need not wait for cold weather to do his butchering It may be done any evening cool enough for the anl- nal heat to escape from the carcass; (2) F9nsh canned meat IS relief from he sameness of ap all-year salt meat Giet (3) Fresh meat is in the list of sood preventive of pellagra; t4) The b2Sy housewife may drop a can 1 Of tinrad meat into the boiling tea kettle, may take fifteen minutes long CT for her sewing and still have dln= ner on time with q hot dish on the table.
 Dr. Franz P. Lund, government specialist on steam pressure canning of meats. suggests several plans of community cooperation in meat can ming:
 By four farmers COG 9erating, when the first daughters a calf. each takes quarter to can, and the worN o' canning is light for all A week la ter. the second farmer butchers a pig or sheep and give each of the others his quarter. and 80 on around the group By this plan each fami'y se- cures a variety of meats. and the car hing has not been burdensome to any
 By the second plan a larger grou, works together Each farmer in turn butchers in the evening. cuts up the carcass and gives each neighbor q piece to carry home The housewife famous for her roasts receives that portion, one known for her stews r. ceives suitable piece.
