ct, galvanized lard can or washboiler,
which will hold enough water to cover
a convenient quantity Of the product
to be blanched, should be provided
Several kettles will be needed fol
blanching, for rinsing after blanching
and other purposes. A teakettle should
be on hand for boiling water, which
is needed from time TO time for filling
jars and for renewing the blanching
water.
Sharp-pointed paring-knives are con-
venient for peellng and cutting. (It is
we'll to use a silver knife for peeling
fruits that are sometimes discolored
by steeD. Tablespoons, teaspoons,
measuring cups and spatulas shoulc
be at hand. Some means must be pro-
vided for lifting the jars out of the
boiling water and for keeping them of
the bottom of the boiler during the
processing. This may be tray with
tall handles, or a false bottom to the
boiler may be used with some sort of
utensil to lift the jars. Many kinds of
patent holders or lifters may be pur-
chased, or litter may be improvised
at home. A large buttonhook works
well with jars that have a wire spring
clamp over the top.
Make Work Progress Rapidly.
When canning in large quantities,
such conveniences as strawberry hull
ers, vegetable slicers. apple corers,
cherry pitters, apple parers, food chop
pers, scales and saccharometer to de-
termine sugar density will make the
work progress more rapidly.
If the product to be packed is to be
cooked first, spoons, sieves and sauce
pans are necessary. Funnels and
packing spoons or flexible metal spat-
ulas or wooden paddles will aid in
filling the jars and in removing air
bubbles.
If the canning is to be done out of
doors, tables of convenient height, a
covered garbage pail and flytraps are
needed. A kerosene stove is convenient
for heating water. All jars or tins
should be washed, before the work is
begun, and new metal lids, rubber
rings, or sanitary caps provided.

JAVELLE WATER USED
AS BLEACHING AGENT
Excellent for Removing Stains
From Linen and Cotton.
Obstinate Blemishes Made by Coffee
and Tea, Fruits or Ink Will Yield
to Application of This Use
full Liquid.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Jayelle water, which can be made at
home, is good bleaching agent to use
in removing stains from white linen
and cotton when more simple methods
fail. Obstinate stains made by clear
coffee and tea, fruits, or ink, for in
stance, will yield to an application of
this useful liquid.
Javelle water should be applied only
to uncolored cotton or linen materials,
because it bleaches colors and rots silk
or wool. In treating stains with ia
velle water, stretch the stained portion
over bowl filled with water and ap-
ply the javelle water to the stain with
a medicine dropper. Do not allow the
jayelle water to remain in contact
with the stain for more than one min
ute. Apply oxalic-acid solution to neu-
tralize the javelle water, and rinse
by dipping the stain in the bowl of
water.
If allowed to remain too long In con-
tact with the fibers, javelle water rots
even linen and cotton materials, and
1t should, therefore, always be neutral
lied with oxalic acid and the fabric
rinsed thoroughly to remove all traces
Of the chemical. For very persistent
stains the javelle water may have to
be applied several times, but should be
neutralized with oxalic-acid solution
after each application.
Prepare javelle water as follows:
Dissolve one pound of washing soda
in one quart Of cold water. To this
solution add one pound of ordinary
bleaching powder Calcium hypochlo-
rite). Filter this liquid through a
piece of muslin to remove the sedi-
ment. Keep the clear liquid in tight
stoppered bottles in a dark place.

In Special Bulletin No. 4S, DR.. w. A

AS the entire development from egg

that every fly killed early means
