Conn. Girls' Record

Connecticut farm girls have es- tablished a new record. According to data secured by the Statistical De- partment of the New England Milk Producers Association they are doing nearly six per. cent of all the dairy work on their fathers farms. This is 80 times as much as Massa- chusetts daughters are doing, seven times as much as Vermont girls are doing, six times as good a record as the New Hampshire girls made and four times as much as Maine girls.
 They are but following in the footsteps of their mothers, for the Connecticut dairy farmers wives are credited with nearly seven per cent of all the dairy work, while MassS- chusetts farm women are credited with less than one per cent. Yer mont women do nearly five per cent, Maine women A per cent and New Hampshire women 3.8 per cent of the dairy work.
 More than nine per cent of all the dairy work is done by boys under IS HI SOiihCNIl1ub. A hh5 ID NOl5ldSIdbly higher than in any other state but Vermont, where the boys do 13 per cent of all the dairy work. Older sons also do considerably more dairy work than Massachusetts boys on the average farm. Taken altogether, members of the Connecticut dairy mans family do nearly 25 per cent of the dairy work. Tn Massachusetts they do about seven per cent. All this enables the Connecticut dairy men to get along with about 16 per cent of hired labor in their dairy business. *.s- fn
 These figures were secured by the New England Milk Producers Asso- citation in an effort to find out the actual costs of producing milk on the average New England farm. The most significant thing about these figures is the relatively high per centage of work which is done by members of the dairyman's family. None of this work is paid for nor is it ordinarily counted in by the far mers in figuring the cost of milk. Such labor should be counted in figuring cost production or the cost of producing milk will depend on the extent to which dairy farmers are willing and able to make their families work for nothing.

It Pays to Test Rubber Rings

With fruit, sugar, and vegetables at their present high levels, the can ner who does not test the rubber rings she uses is taking long chance as to whether the 20 to 90 cents worth of good material in the can will keep or not. This year the country is flooded with poor rubber rings, and unless the housekeeper tests the rings she is using the chances are good that her canned products will not keep. The cost of everything entering into retailing rings has increased, and in order to continue selling them at the old price and to make a profit many manufacturers have reduced the quality of the rings they are putting out. The United States Department of Agriculture gives a number of tests which may be used to deter mine whether a rubber ring has the requirements that it should have or not. One is the stretching test
 A 6-inch piece is cut out of a ring take hold of the end so there are 4 inches between the fingers. Stretch the piece along a ruler until the fingers are 10 inches apart. The sample should not break and should

As it is, however, if they are given half a chance bacteria will soon make a jar of fruit or vegetables ready for the garbage bucket.
 It may not always be possible to kill all bacteria in home canning, for some of those germs can endure high degree of heat for a long time. Nevertheless, jars and cans must be processed long enough to kill as many bacteria as possible.
 In the case of fruit or tomatoes, even though many of the bacteria survive the short heating process, few or none will grow because of the acid present. Heavy syrup added to the fruit also prevents the growth

 (total weight approximately r pounds). Place the jar ring around an empty spool; pass wire through the center of the spool and fasten to handle of the pail; then pass the round handle of a wooden spoon or broom through the ring and lift. The ring should not break. If rings will stand these two tests, they are not likely to give trouble in canning.

of bacteria. For this reason fruit requires a much shorter time of pro- cessing than vegetables, with the exception of tomatoes. e
 During the last year, the home experimental kitchen of the United States department of agriculture has been experiemnting with the addition of small amount of acid-vinegar to nonacid vegetables being can ned. The work is being continued and the results thus far indicate that one to four tablespoons of vine gar added to quart jar help greatly in reducing the mount of spoilage. When the vinegar is added the time of processing can be reduced. For instance, it is found that corn, which ordinarily is difficult to can success fully, keeps we'll when four table spoons of vinegar are added to a quart jar processed three hours con tinuously. String beans, old peas and spinach are other vegetables successfully canned by this method. a The addition of vinegar to canned vegetables in the amount mentioned modifies to some degree the natural flavor of the vegetable, but the re- suit is not objectionable to most people, and in many instances is not noticed.

Seed Determines Crou

Those farmers who attended Far mers' Week at Storrs and who visi- ted the potato experimental fields had an opportunity to note the 1919 results with seed from different sources. These showed that good Maine seed yielded 253 bushels to the acre while the "field run" which had been raised at Storrs for six years yielded only 43 bushels to the acre while "hill selected" seed which had been raised at Storrs for six years yielded only 74e bushels per acre. ..
 The question is often asked this year, "Can I safely use my own seed next year when I used Northern Grown Seed this year?" The re- suits at Storrs show that this method would probably reduce the yield the following year by about 10 or II per cent and the second year by about 30 per cent.

The Hague. November 5.-The possibil- ity of becoming republic is in prospect for Holland, under recommendations sub- mitted today by the commission ap- pointed to revise the constitution.
