Canning Questions

Many of the questions asked show
the merest defect has caused the loss
Of valuable material and precious
labor, so 1 am going to give you
some general canning hints that all
of US need to bear in mind whenever
we are putting our fruits or vege-
tables away.
There are two reasons for spoilage
bacteria and mold. Both are too
minute to be seen by the eye. 1t
takes microscope to find them. They
float in the air when dry and are az
ways on fruits and vegetables, but
cannot harm them until the skin is
broken. That is why any bruised
apple, peach or pear begins to de-
cay.
Molds are easier to deal with than
bacteria, for mold requires fresh air.
Bacteria thrives even when no air
is present. So we must cook the fruit
long enough to actually kill tho
spores, and put it away fast enough
for no more to enter.
Test every jar by putting in some
water. Put on the rubber and top,
seal as carefully as you will with
the fruit in it and turn upside down,
give it minute or ITO and if it
should even ooze out examine care
fully to see if it is Tae top, the rub
Der or a Clipped j6r.
If the. jar is imperfect, you may
jam in it and cover the jam an eighth
of an inch with melted para wax or
parafine.

Beautifying and improving the

home demonstration work in the
South, yet more than 1,5)0 farm
houses were built in the south last
year according to plans advised by
the home club agents; 2,736 were re-
modelled, 2,677 had lighting systems
installed, 1920 had kitchens i'm
proved and made easier to do work
in, 26,S11 labor-saving devices were
made Or purchased, and 1866 front
yards were beautified. When eX-
tension work with the women was
started, 10 years ago, it aimed first
to tighten women's work and to lift
it out of the realm of drudgery and
to aid in food problems. AS these
problems were being solved the
questions of clothing, more conven-
fences, increased poultry and dairy
production, sanitary improvements,
food composition, food values, and
practical arrangement and furnish
ing of the kitchen were brought up
by the women. This led to demands
for practical plans for the whole

If convenient, it is well to have
double yards, for then one may ro-
tate green crops. Small yards may
be sown to, oats, wheat, rye. rape
seed etc, but if large yards are
available they can be kept in a per-
manent sod of bluegrass, alfalfa, or
clover. While the fowls are using
one yard the green feed in the other
is getting a fresh start.
If the yards are to be on only one
side of the house, they should be
on the south side in order that the
fowls may have the benefit of the

localities where snow is abundant

If the yards are to be in perma-

feed for the fowls, 20 to 80 square
feet should be allowed for each bird.

vided for. otherwise, and the yards

Use Less SUGAR in JeIlies

One-ffth to one-quarter less sugar
cams be ussd en- mnds by house
hold experts in the United States
department of agriculture experiment
tai kitchen indicate.
Another sugar-saving wrinkle test
ed by the experiment kitchen is to
add one-quarter teaspoon of salt to
each cup of fruit juice for jelly or
pulp for jam, marma1ade, and con-
serve. In the case of non-acid fruit
this makes the absence of the full
amount of sugar less noticeable. The
salty taste will disappear after the
product has stood for a few weeks,
but the favor will be much the
richer for the addition of the salt.
Salt was so used in England during
the war, and the method suggested
was based on reports of the process.
