I pointed out that the In- |termittent Cold Pack Method. has {been lately accepted as the best one for these few vegetables. Today I sball deal just with Asparagus. In giving any canning directions in this column, I assume that the house- keeper ls using her wash boiler as a canner; and that the altitude of the housewife's location is below 1,000 feet. For altitudes above 1,000 feet, the time of sterilization given below, should be increased at the rate of ten per cent. for each additional 500 feet. Or, better yet, a steam-pressure canning outfit may be used for can- {ning in altitudes over 1,000 feet. The National War Garden Commis- sion of Washington, D.C., in 1919 issued the following statement on this subject: "Neither home-made nor commercial hot-water bath out- {fits are entirely satisfactory for can- {ning at very high altitudes, as the | temperature of water in them does Inpt reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In isuch localities water seal and steam- pressure outfits are advisable, as they give higher temperatures." Asparagus: Can it soon after pick- ing. Select your stalks, grade as to size, and wash. Tie the stalks into bundles and place the lower ends of these into boiling water for two or three minutes, then submerge the en- tire bunch in this water for omne.or two minutes longer (this is called "blanching" ); now plunge the bunch into cold water (called "cold-dip- rihg™) for an instant, remove, and cut the string that bound the bundle. Jars sterilized as follows should be in readiness: wash the jar and place -11t, side down, in a pan; cover it wita cold water and bring slowly to a boil, allowing it to boil 16 minutes.

Defying the superstition that May is the unluckiest month for brides and that the 13th is an un- lucky day. Miss Dorothy Loder, daughter of Gerald and Lady Louise Loder, married at St. Margaret's, Westminster, on May 13th, Captain, the Hon. W. J. L. Palmer, youngest son of the Earl and Countess of Sel- borne. > The defiant bride, too, wore a gown embroidered with peacock feathers; her going-away dress and her hat were greeti--a proverbially unlucky color for brides. It was believed that she had re- pented of her temefrity when John Loder arrived at the church carry- ing six silver baskets filled with white heather, which the brides- maids afterwards handed to the Earl of Selborne, however, said that May 13 was chosen for the wedding day simply because it suited his son's arrangements. But this did not explain the bride's defiance of & superstition which has existed since Pagan times. Inquiries at churches, Doth in west and east London, show that May,:from being the mdst umpopu- lar has become one of the favorite months with brides. Prebendary Gough, vicar of Brompton, whose church is in great demand for fashionable weddings, ad who was in Hamilton not so long ago, said: :The superstition that May is unlucky is fast dying out. There were scarcely any wed- dings here In May before the war, but it is very different now. People seem to have less time for feeble + Laura. A. Kirkman , and it is now ready to receive ths asparagus stalks. When you have packed the steriliz- ed jar with asparagus stalks, pour over the stalks, to top of jar, a brine made by combining four ounces of salt and one gallon of water; put on rubber, and "partially seal" (that is, put top wire up over glass cover but do not press down the side wire); place the jar in a wire rack in the bottom of your wash boiler in hot water that covers the jar one inch, and bring this water to a boil. Now begin to count the time of "process- ing" (or '"'steriiizing" or just plain "boiling") the jar. Process the jar for one hour, let the jar stand for 24 hours In ordinary room-tempera~ ture; process again one hour on the second day, let stand again 24 hours; then process it again for one hour on the third and last day. Completely seal at the end of the first processing, but raise the lower wire clamp just before placing the jar in the hot water for the second processing--and do the same before the third and last processing. Then press down the side wire for the final time and let the jar cool (out of a draught, or it- will break). When cold, try this test: raise the side wire end remove the top wire from over the cap; now lift the whole jar just by the glass cap. If the jar is per- fectly sealed the cap will not come off. Then replace wires, and store the jar.
