now. If lard can or a wash boiler
Is to be used for processing the cans,
see that the false bottom used last
year is in perfect condition or make
new one.
Wash Cans Thoroughly.
All cans and their tops should be
washed carefully as they are emptied
and before they are stored. If they
were not, now is the time to put them
into immaculate condition. Every par
ticle of foreign matter inside or out
side should be removed and the flanges
around the top scrubbed with a brush.
Then the whole can and its top should
be boiled in soda water. If pickles
have been in the jar, extra care must
be taken. After boiling, the open jar
should be placed in the sunshine out
of doors for several days. A large
part of the losses in canning is caused
by the jars not being absolutely clean.

Baking powder often runs short at
q crucial moment when one has cake
half-mixed, thinking there is plenty of
1t on-hand. OF course, the far-sighted
housekeeper plans to replenish each
of her pantry supplies before the stock
is exhausted. but she generally buys
as to have it fresh.
A pound can of baking powder can
be bought at regular intervals If one
knows approximately how many tea
spooonfuls it contains and how many
teaspoonfuls are needed for the cook
ing during any given period. The ex-
perimental kitchen of the United States
Department of Agriculture has deter
mined, by scientific weighing and
measuring, that there will be vari-
alton between 125 and $50 teaspoons
in a one-pound can of baking powder.
This is assuming an average weight
of 3.3 grams for C. c. or standard
teaspoon.
In home where hot biscuits are
maze every mOrHllS,, poSSiDiy Ioui
teaspoonfuls of baking powder would
be the average amount daily to leaven
a pint of flour; if a cake was made
on Saturday calling for three teaspoon
fuls of baking powder and perhaps
cookies earlier in the week, requiring
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a
minimum of about 33 teaspoonfuls a
week would be required. The pound
can therefore should last from three
to five weeks, but if extra baking,
not counted in this estimate, is nee
essary, it would be well to replenish
the baking powder once month.
Similar estimates with other foods
can be made by the individual house
wife. The rule that three teaspoon
fuls make one tablespoonful is suffi-
ciently accurate for practical pur-
poses, say specialists in home econom-
les in the United States Department
Of Agriculture. 1t may be interesting
to the housewife to measure for her
self the number of cups of coffee she
is likely to obtain from pound, reck-
oning one tablespoonful per cup.
Knowing how many cups are made
every day she can easily compute
the amount of coffee needed during
the week or month.

Many family that is fond of straw
berry preserves or raspberry short
cake during the winter months finds
itself in the fall without any of these
delicious small fruits on its canned
fruit shelves. The fruit ripens so rap
idly that the housewife, oftentimes. is
caught unprepared-without jars, tops,
rubbers or some other canning neces-
sity-and the crop is gone before she
can procure them.
Season Is Short.
The season of any of the small
fruits is very short, and full prepara-
tion for the canning should be made
before even the first of the fruits be-
gins to ripen.
