NTID-AUGUsT is the time for
4Vl canning tomatoes. Select the
fruit that is just fully ripe. Over
ripe or soft pulp tomatoes are not n
good buy for canning purposes. They
may be used in catsup and tomato paste
and purees. When canning tomatoes,
pack few jars for frying and for sal
ads. This will provide n welcome treat
70 the family next January or Febru-
ary.
How to Start Canning
Look over the basket of tomatoes,
lifting each one on the table to sort
them over. Remove the soft and bruised
ones and place in a large square Of
cheesecloth. then dip in boiling water
for three minutes. Now peel and cut
out the bruised spots. Remove the cores
and green part Of stem end Of the to-
mato. Cut in pieces and place in pre-
serving kettle Now squeeze we'll with
hands to break up and then place on
stove TO cook. Use a wire potato
masher to stir with. This tomato pulp
Is ready just as soon as 1t Is Sutf-
GENTLY cooked to rub through colan-
der.
Now look over and select the jars; {;
use the quart size, If you have fam
ily of five or more; and the pint size
for the family Of three to five. See
that the lids fit and have the best grade
OF rubters ready.
Place the jars in pan of water and
heat to the boiling point to sterilize.
Now place the tomatoes in bowls or
pans and cover with boiling water. Let
stand for five minutes and then remove
the ckins, the cores and any green part
that is around the core. BE careful in
handling the tomatoes so as not to
crush. Pack the prepared tomatoes into
jars and use large spoon handle or
spatula to assist the packing. which
should be done tightly. Fill TO over
flowing with the prepared tomato pulp.
Adjust the rubber and lid and partly
seal Place in hot water bath and proc.
ess for one hour to the quart size and
forty five minutes for pint size.
The correct temperature of the water
bath is just sufficiently hot to bear on
your hand-from 130 to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, if you are using the candy
Thermometer to test the water. When
you have ali the Jars in the bath that it
will hold. bring quickly to the boiling
point and boil rapidly and constantly
for the time required to process.
The hot water bath is 4 boiler shaped
utensil with a close fitting lid; it has
a rack in the bottom in order to keep
the Jars from coming in direct con
tact with the bottom of the boiler. For
your personal convenience and in order
to prevent accidents. it is best TO use
racks that hold jars they are very in
expensive and several varieties from
which you can select will be found in
the housefurnishmg stores.
When the time limit expires. remove
the jars and seal them securely. Put
in a cool room, free from draughtS and
let cool
Special note-the water in tho water
bath must be at least three inches over
the tops of the jars all the time.

Rainmaking Again.
from the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelpnla Ledger.
With a public school lecture bureau
inviting weather prophet" to lee
ture on the weather and with the
farmers at Medicine Hat going in for
rainmaking at SO much. per inch. 1T Is
evident that despite all The teachings
Of the text books. meteoroiogy is stiil
a closed science to many. For instance
specialists know that neither the
moon nor the planets have anything
to do with weather changes. Second
ly, it is not only well known, but has
been proved beyond all doubt, that the
belief that rain can be made by hu-
man agencies is a superstition with
out any basis in fact
About generation ago Congress
foolishly granted Gen. Dyrenforth $5,-
900 to attempt to make rain in south
western Texas by exploding certain
quantities of gunpowder in tile free
air. Though the experiments were
resultless, all sorts of rainmakers in
or about the prairie states lying near
the Tooth meridian. and which conse-
quently have a light and variable
rainfall. were encouraged to make
their quack claims. For while they
fiourished like Jonah's gourd; but
finally all came to grief when re-
turn Of periodic aridity knocked their
unfounded claims into a cooked hat.
Dyrenforth himself based his propo.
sition on a long-exploded belief that
battles bring rain. the rainfall sup
posedly being caused by the cannon-
aiding. But. as all historians of strange
belief know, the idea that battles
were followed by storms originated
centuries before -gunpowder was dis,
covered or used. and it was a kind Of
belief that could only originate in an
ignorant age absolutely out of touch,
with the real determining natural
causes in matters of climate and
rainfall. -
