HOTEPACK CANNING
REDUCES SPOILAGE
Method Found to Be Quick
and Easy to Operate.

tHrepared by the United States Department
80 of Agriculture.)
Hot pack. canning is the feature of
a bulletin by DR.. Louise Stanley just
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture telling how to
can fruits and vegetables In the home.
The hot! pack is a quick and easy
method which combines all the good
points of the other popular methods
and has some additional advantages of
It's own.
Briefly, the hot pack method is to
wash and otherwise prepare the vege-
table or fruit for canning, cook it for
ten or. fifteen minutes in water or
sirup in kettle, pack 1t. boiling hot
into the glass Jars or tin cans, and
process in the water bath or pressure
Gamer according to the time and
temperature recommended. This short
precooking. of the fruit or vegetable
willis and shrinks it so that 1t can
be PACKED more easily. 1t drives
ont the, air and makes exhausting
unnecessary. Most important of all.
the food packed boiling hot into the
Jars or cans and put at once into
the hot Gamer reaches the tempera-
ture REQUIRED for processing far soon
er than II 1t were packed cold, and
makes y possible shorter processing
periods. : Moreover. heat penetrates
more uniformly during canning and
the food In the center Of the iar.is
more likely to be properly processed.
This cuts down the chances Of spoil
age, for II is proper, processing more
than all else that determines whether
canned foods keep or. spoil
e The directions given throughout the
bulletin are concise. Wherever pos
sible the scientific reasons behind
them are stated so that the home
maker will understand why she must
follow directions If she wants to put
up foods that will keep Types of
water-bath Gamers for use with fruits
and tomatoes and pressure Gamers
for use with all other vegetables are
described and illustrated. A series
of pictures and brief statements give
the steps In canning in glass Jars
and tin cans. Directions and time
tables for handling the various fruits
ana vegetables from apples to straw

If is not a mere bit of poetic
Imagination to say that a town
NAV have a soul. But some towns
show no signs of having one.
They are like a man with a capa-
cious stomach which he enjoys
filing, but with no aspiration to
any higher level of culture. For
a town to have a soul, it's people,
or a considerable group of them,
must likewise have an aspiration
toward a better development.
They must desire more beauty OF
physical aspects, or more achieve
ment in industry, more opportuni-
ties for education for old and
young, etc.
The way to stimulate such SEN
timent, is to induce people to take
hold of some practical task that
shall help create better town.
The man who has planted a tree
or helped develop park begins
to feel a new ambition for his
home city, and he has done some
thing to create a soul within it.

FIRES AND NESTING BIRDS.

A bulletin issued by the Amerl-
can Game Protective Association
saws that next to drainage OF
marsh lands one of the practices
most destructive to wild bird life
is the annual burning OF meadow
pasture and brush land. This is
sometimes done in the Fall, but
usually in the Spring and often SO
late as to cause very serious loss
to nests, eggs and young OF
ground-nesting birds, including
woodcock, pheasants, grouse
ouail, waterfowl and other game
and useful non-game birds. Inc
bulletin says:
"The burning is usually done by
farmers to clear their meadows
and pastures of old grown oi
grass and weeds, but frequently
occurs in municipal parks to the
very great injury to small plants'
shrubbery and young trees. Also
the burning of such growth de-
stroys the natural shelter for all
ground birds and drives them
away from such localities entire
w. Such burning ought not to be
done at all in parks, and on farms
it should be done at a time when
the injury to bird and other wild
animal life will be the least posi-
BILE, such as late Fall or very early
Spring, before the nesting begins.
Certainly no grass fires should be
set after April l in Northern Uni
ted States as a number of species
of birds begin to nest by that
date. In some States this is al
ready regulated by law
