STORING JOB WINTER Valuable Hints oa Canning Fruits and Yefetables. Vegetables to Be Stored for Winter In Celliirs Mnst Be Sound and Handled WiUiout liniisinK â€" Green Peaa, Beans and C<irn May Be Successfully Pre.serv«Ml by Placing In Cana and Heating Three Times. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) IN the storing of roots, tubers, cabbage and celery it is a com- paratirely simple matter If the materials are sound to begin witli, .Although the decay-producing bacteria, yeasts and molds are always on tliese they cannot do any injury until the materials are iir.st damaged in some way as by bruising, lioatlng or freezing. After such injury has been done the decay bacteria and molds are able to feed on the dam- aged tissue and as a result of tlii» action, decay or rot talios place and gradually spreads until all is spoilod. Therefo!-e, in storing roots, tubers, cabtiage or celery, it is necessary, â€" 1st. To have only sound, healthy specimens. 2nd. To handle with care so as not to bruLse or otherwise damage the tissiii.-s. 3rd. Store in a cool, wcil-vontilat- ed place where there will bo no dan- ger of either overheating or freezing. Ovt-rlieating or freezing will usual- ly Itiil the living tissue of wliieh the roots are composed, after which they will readily decay as a result of the rapid multiplication of bacteria and molds in tlie dead tissues. In the preservation of such veije- tabies as green peas, beans, aspara- gus and green corn, different meaa- ures are necessary. These are Kreen and juicy and if stored in the fresh condition thoy will either wilt or fer- ment and rot. This fermentation and rotting is due to the development in the mass of the bacteria which are present on the vegetables. There will be sufficient moisture present in the mass to enable the bacteria to multi- ply and feed on the material and thus induce the rot. So in order to preserve such vege- tables in iho fresh condition the bac- teria pri.'sont have to be all killed and all other bacteria prevented from Ki'lting on the material until it is to be used. To get satisfactory re- sults from canning vegetables it Is nece.ssary to ."lave â€" Xst. (jooJ sound, healthy vege- tables. 2nd. Good cli-nn stalers with tiglit-' fitting top.s and good rubbers. ird. Wash the vegetables and dll into the :;,'alers. 4tli. ('o'Ver witli water salted to taste. 5t!i. I'ul on the tops and leave sliijhtly loos.'. 6 til. Place sealers in a steamor or boiler lialf lilli'd with cold water and lii'a! to the boiling point for liaif an hour. 7th. Uejnove Bcakrs from boiler or stc-anior and tighten down ilie tops ' iitti. After 24 hours loosen llic lopd and return to the boiler or steamer and give anollier halt iiour'a boiling. 9ih. Ilcpeat this process after an- other ZK hour.s. Then tiglUeu down the tops and placid away. In the storing of such fruits as applt'S and piavs, which can Ik' stored witliout cauuiiig, we huve to pifveui. the develoiimeul of mold.s and yeasts. Tlieae are ;Jway8 present on the sur- face of the fruit. bacteria do noi ilaiuuge fruits as they do vegelable.i or mT!a.is on account of the .su^ar aud acid nature of the fruits, which id not satisfactory for bacterial develop- ment but is just what is needed lor molds and yeasts. Hut even molds and yeusts will not develop on soun>t apples and pears that are properly stored. K, !iowev-er, the fruit is (lam- aged in the picking, handling or pack- ing, then the bruised spots enable liie mold spores or yeast cells itiai are on llie surface >o germinal e and grow and multiply, and when ouee the.v get a start tlw;y will coiilijute to spread even througli tlio s.nmd healthy tissue and from fruit to truit until 111'; vvliole pack may lie .siioiied. '1 herefore in tlie stoiing of such fruits as aoples and pears ii is essential : Ist. To liave only sound specimeus. 2ud. To pack carefully wuhout bruising. 3rd. To store in a cool, well-ven- tila.ed idaee, w^iere Iliey will be ueiilier overheutini or trorun. .Such fruits as strawberries, laap- berrie.s, plums, peaches, currants, bliicberiie.i, etc., wiilch are sctl, can- not be kept aiiy ienglh of llnic with- out fermenting or moulding i.ules3 they are canned. TIk'.io fruu.'; may be cooked in :i fruit kettle, sugar added to taste, and Uili.'d hot direct from the kettle into aturilizeil tealers removed diiocl from scalding water. The covers, rings and rubbers should be put on at once direct from scalding water and screwed 4owu tighily. Another way to preserve such fruit.s is by the cold pack method. In this uietliod tli« fruit.s are not cooked before pultiaig into flie sealer. Sound fruit not overripe shouid be used. This is picked over and Ulled direct- ly into clean sealtrs. Stone fruit ulioiild Ix! pitied. A syrup of sugar and waler Kweet- ened to taste is then tilled Into r^eal- ers so as to compleieiy cover the fruit. The lop.s, rutilieiM and rin"-' are put on, Inil not screwed duv.ii tlKhtly.

Miss McPhail At Orono M Bt Agnes McPhail, the talented dsu)(hter of our nail known auctioneer, Mr. Hougald McPhail, spoke recently at a I' !''(). pxnio held at (Jruiio, and the F»ia-.er8' Sud quo'eB from her eletjueut address at follows : V'eu ciiii't get H house or a room iu Tiireutii, while at (he Karae tune the couulry Htaiida empty. On ix.e conces- â- iou in Prfiton tonoahip, not an isolated eixe l>y any means, there are 1000 acres • I which are livinx today 5 men and 4 womon, some of the men being over 50 and one of the women over 90- If in all Canada we had our people spread out as l/Uttei' is spread nb bread you would have but (wo people to the square mile, while in Tiir-jnio alone half a million people aro crowded in narrow streets. We are building .. collosal top on a very flimsy foundaiion. Some day there is going to ba a crach and a lot of people are going t > get hurt. We have heard questions raised as to why fat mere do nut do this and do not do that, until we are sick and tired of the hearing. Why do not farmers have hot and cold water, baths and electric lights i Why ? Because, speaking broad- ly, every fiirmer expects some day to sell his farm and, when soiling time comes, he knows he will have to throw the house ill for nothing. It is not a case of ' is the f.iim to l/e eold but 'when is it to be sold.' Why this uuanini'jus desire to sell ? The answer is m the bent backf, cilloused hands and limited rewards. F.kriuing is the nnst arduous and niotit pxirly paid of all occup.ktiuiis. \Vu were told that rural mail and rural telephone would check the exodus from tlie faruir We have these things today, but si ill the movement from the lind is greater than ever. There is only one thing that will check the movement and that is stated in one wi rd, and that word is MO N-El . Karaiers work 12 hour.t a day to feed people who work 8 hours, and still some people call that a square deal. Too many are eating Iti hnurs a day and working; 8. Some who eat three meals a day do not work ever one hour. - Biill firmers are culled pratiteers ! Pro6teei« ! How can a tarmer tie called a protiteer when he goes to market with his hogs, cattle or wool and asks " How much .<"' Uow can he be called a profiteer when helgoes to buv a pair of boots and asks "What is the price !" Farmers r.ccupy the oanie ofisitiun today economically that the Indian did years ago in Iradiug his furs it the l^udson Bay post. Th'j dealer, not the proilucer, tixes thit price both in buyinu imd selling. As the furs of the Indians were worth a great deal more than the trinkets received in exch«i>ae, so ate the prciducts of the farm worth more today than that which the fanner receives in txchaiice. Moreiivor the farmer's prn- duels are ])ure. The 'wiiDlen' yoocis ho receives in exchange are largely made in Alabama. Touuhing on the tariff Miss McPhail said, 1 tigured nut the iiiritf tax on the things III an ordinary wurkmin's home in the way ef furnishirgs. It aioounred to, ?.')8.42 nil ilui furniahini^s if the hal alone, to$114iin dining noin contents, and SSO.'i nu the titiinga in the house. And that was without allowine profit on the duty. But there are three prutits nn the duty fimt paid by the imp^irter â€" the 'iiuportor's own ptoht on the duty as well as thu tirst cost of the article imported, the jobber's profit and the retailei's prohc.
