required for fruits is TO allow

For purposes Of canning, foods
are classed in two groups ac-
cording to the free acid they
contain. Acid foods are fruits,
tomatoes, picked beets, ripe pi-
mentos and rhubarb-they may
be processed in boiling water
bath or steamer without press
ure. Also in the oven because
the acid makes them easy 10

Nonacid foods, all vegetables
except tomatoes. meat and poul-
try are more difficult TO keep
than acid foods. To be abso-
lutely certain that nonscids Will

Sock Vegetables

Certain vegetables give bet
ter results If they are soaked
for time in salt solution, since
this process makes the tissue
firm and extyacts7 surplus wa
ter. ParboiIing in salt water
may be used instead of soaking.
Three difficulties encountered
IN the preparation of pickles in
the home are shriveled pickles,
soft pickles, hollow pickles.
Too much salt or sugar or too
strong vinegar may cause the
pickles TO shrivel and become
tough. If very sweet or sour
pickle is desired, the pickle
should be first placed IN a weak
solution for a few days, after
which the strength of the solu-
ton may be increased. This
gives the finished product a bet
ter texture. Soft pickles may be
the result of a brine too weak
20 prevent the growth Of organ
isms which cause spoilage.
Salt Solution
A 10 per cent salt solution
Zone and two-thirds cups OF salt
20 one gallon OF water is neceS-
sary 10 keep pickles in good
condition. Hollow pickles is
frequent cause OF failure in
pickle making. This may be
caused by using pickles which
have been gathered for some
time before they are put in the
picking solution. For best re-
suits the pickles should be put
into the solution as soon after
gathering as possible.
The kind Of vinegar used also
Influences the success in pickle
making. There are many varie-
ties Of vinegar, those in most
common use being cider or ap-
pie vinegar, grape matt. or
white vinegar A good grade Of
cider vinegar is considered best
70 use IN making pickles,
Fresh Spices
Spices should be bought fresh
for each year picking. A mix
ture ~ spices commonly known
as picking spice may he oh
tanned loose or IN packages. or
they may be blended al home
ThCv should include whole
cloves pcppercornS, stick CHINA
mon. mace, tiny red peppers,
mustard seed, allspice bay
leaves and root ginger. Spices
are usually tied N a square Of
cheesecloth and cooked with the
pickles.
Follow tested recipes care

Prevent Weeping

Weeping iellieS are one Of the
mishaps which occur when max
ing these fruit spreads Separa-
ton of a small amount Of SXrup-
known frequently rs weeping Is
normal and Will not harm jelilcy
and jams unless yeast and mold
starts growing on the seepape
Excessive separation may be
prevented by using fully ripe
fruit. To prevent this weeping,
leave a half-inch space at the
top when filling glasses. Parat-
fin. cover tightly and store IN
a cool, dry place that Is free
from dust and mildew.

tomatoes Easy

Tomatoes are probably the big
eeSt crop TO come in this CLASH
fication. They're easy to can but
must be done with care. Blanch
them in boiling water. slip off
skins and pack them into sterll-
lied jars. Small amounts should
be worked with at one time to
prevent any Spoilage from oc-
curing while the fruit Is
standing.
It's lots of fun and satisfac-
ton to can peaches and pears,
so that YOU can enjoy their
sweet. mellow goodness long
after the all tho short season
has passed. Don't peel peaches;
skin them as YOU do tomatoes
and you'll avoid finger bruises
and knife marks.

Prepare glasses. Wash, scald

TO AID LOCAL

state superintendent of public
instruction, Miss Elizabeth Ire

ment of Public Welfare, of
which J. B. Convery is admins
traitor, for the voluntary and
wholehearted cooperation of ed
ucators and welfare workers in
Montana" Col. S. H. Mitchell,
state director, advised Chairman
Buzzetti. without their help
this new program could not be
successful and the public is ask
ed to give these voluntary work
ers every consideration in the
gathering of this confidential
information.
The information obtained by
social workers and educators will
be gathered primarily for use
at armed forces induction sta

SUGGESTS FARM
METHODS FOR "a

Wartime production of crops
in 1914 will require the best pos
sible methods, the crops best ad-
apted to the individual farms,
and farm operations performed
in the most efficient and econ
Cmical manner, says George w.
GuStafSOn, county extension ag-
ent.
The following suggestions are
given by the local extension Of
fee to the farmers of the coun-
ty:
AS farming has become more
and more a business underta-
king, a record of expenditures
and receipts is important. The
problem of income tax also
makes it imperative that a COM
plete set of records be kept.
Therefore a simple and efficient
set of farm records is essential.
A farm record book is available
at the extension office.
Since acreage production and
crops adapted to individual
farms are especially important
in 1914, crops recommended and
standardized by the Montana
Seed Growers association should
be used by the farmers of the
county. Varieties recommended
have been tested at the expert
station and on farms long en-
ough to guarantee high produc-
ton. This year two kinds of
barley are recommended by the
experiment station at Bozeman
for the first time. One is Glacier
for irrigated land. However, only
a limited amount of seed is av-
ailable. There is not enough to
meet the demand. Another bar
ley, especially adapted to dry
land, is Compana. This a two

istant, early maturing variety.

county. Compana should replace
all other barley raised on dry
land because OF its greater yield.
Much has been said about hy-
brid corn. So far, no outstanding
hybrid has been developed to
take the place of standard var
ietieS.
Dry beans are adapted to
many farms in the irrigated Sec
lions of tie county. Great Nor
