Canning Notes

tanning MUGS
Why can beets and carrots when
they NAV be stored in the cellar in
the fall and kept until late winter or
early spring?
First, because the small tender
vegetables have a better flavor than
the older ones gathered in the fall.
Second, because in thinning the
rows of beets or carrots, some may
be kept for winter use which would
otherwise be wasted.
Third, they are cooked and ready
to serve at a moments notice and
one fire does for number of meals.
Fourth, they may be used late in
the spring after the stored vege-
tables are all gone or no longer fresh
and crisp.
Beets and carrots canned by the
cold pack method taste like the fresh
product when opened in the winter.
Select small, uniform sized vege-
tables.
Leave one inch Of stem and tail
on beets to keep them from losing
color in blanching.
Blanch in boiling water for five
minutes.
Dip in cold water.
Remove skins by scraping, not
peeling.
Pack into jars-beets should be
packed whole If possible. Cover with
boiling water to within one-fourth
inch Of top. Add one teaspoonful of
salt TO each quart.
Add rubber, and cover screwed
down as tightly as possible with
thumb and little finger.
Put in boiler or Gamer with boil
ing water over tops of can. Boil for
one and one-half hours.
Remove jars and tighten covers.
Beets may show a slight loss of
color when removed from Gamer but
will brighten up in few days.

PLANT TREE FOR new BABY
japanese Have Pretty Custom That
insures Shade and Timber for the
Coming Generations.

In the inland sections of Japan,
where the rice fields and the fishing
villages of the coast and the inland
sea have given place to the forms or
farming which the average, man OF
that country best knows. there are
some few stretches of forests and
tree-cOvered plains and hills that are
Impressive as we'll as picturesque. :
Bue in most of Japan the tree is a
painstakingiy planted carefully tended
and artisrically trimmed creation
sometimes giving the impression OF
being more man-created than nap
penins by accident"
One Of the reasons there are almost
invariably fine trees surrounding the
homes of the Gell-to-do OF Japan Is
because when L baby is born tree is
planted in honor Of the newborn
child. The tree is called 'the baby's
tree" often is given the name OF the
child, and both tree and child grow
up together.
During the years when the baby is
growing up the child's tree is watched
over both by the parents and their
gardener, as well as the child. Many
Il japanese mother would fear that
her child was about to die if the
child-s tree were to become sick and
die And they take it as the best pos
sible omen when the tree f1Ourishes
better than any other tree in the
nelghborhood.
Nothing is permitted to harm this
tree until the day comes when the
child Is to be married. Then the tree
il cut down and its wood is made into
an article of furniture for the new
home. This furniture is treasured, ant
is given the place Of honor in the
