Non-acid vegetables such as corn, peas, beans, and squash cannot be safely canned in a hot water can- ner at 212 degrees temperature. They should be canned in a steam pressure canner where the pressure can be regulated to give a tem perature high enough to kill bac teria and their spores. A pressure of 10 pounds will raise ' the tem perature to 240 degrees Farenheit, which is 28 degrees hotter than the boiling point and will safely pre serve most non-acid vegetables. A few vegetables such as sweet potatoes and corn require an even higher temperature to destroy spores. They are canned at 15 pounds pressure with a temperature of 250 degrees F. The high tern p er a t ure obtain ed in a pressure cooker makes it a real time saver not only in canning but in cooking the family's meals, This canner is constructed of strong material and is provided with a tightly-fitting lid which is clamped down to hold steam under pressure. It has a steam , gauge Ur breakfast is over and while the fire is still going, it is an eco nomical expenditure of time and attached to the lid which registers very ..."careful' to" savp "their "mvn j nplnKnri ii:W7"dn'" nnf Ua-v1iirrrtmg ay carefully followed conveniences - at home mav come tne temperature ana the corre sponding number of pounds pres sure, and I advise everyone who can afford the price to invest in one of the many good makes. It not only makes canning safe but it may be used to cook tough meats, reas. beans, and other foods. ' THE HOT WATER CANNER The hot water canner will be very generally used this summer by the many who cannot afford the price of a steam pressure canner. and if The number of vegetables recom mended for canning at 212 degrees seems small but soup mixture may contain almost any of the non-acid" vegetables desired if the propor tions of five parts of tomato to four of Mher vegetables is observ ed. : CLASS JARS There are few homes which are without glass "jars for canning. They are economical for home canning as they can be used over and over again and the "cost be spread over many years. Glass tops for these jars are pre ferable as metal ones may become dented or rusty and necessitate the purchase of new tops each year. RUBBERS With any type of top new rub-bersshoulle-Jiad-every-time-4lie jar is used as the success of , the air tight seal depends" chiefly on the rubber rings. Never use a rub ber the second time. It will pay you to spend a little money on these at first and save the loss of good food later. ' , STERILIZING JARS Glass jars should be sterilized be fore they are filled with' vegetables. Place fhem on the rack in the can ner in tepid water, then pour three inches of water in the canner, cov er, bring, the -water to a boil and steam the jars for eight minutes. Leave jars in the hot water until products are ready to place in them. This will prevent breakage when filled jars are placed in the canner containing boiling water. When a hot water canner is used one should be careful to partlyfill and only those products are canned together and do their canning un- w-hich are recommended, success der the supervision of an experienc-! will follow ed leader. This center should provide a steam pressure canner as well as a hot bath canner and should pos sess a sealer for tin cans. It is here that much of the can ning for hot school lunches is done by mothers of the neighborhood and here also products of the re lief gardens are preserved for win ter use. -CANNING EQUIPMENT If one expects to do successful canning with a negligible amount antte your profits. -The Pathfinder, of spoilage, the canning equipment Fruits, berries, tomatoes, young and tender string beans, and a soup mixture made in the proportion five quarts of tomato to two quarts of corn and two quarts of lima beans may be safely canned at boiling temperature. In soup mix ture non-acid vegetables are com bined with, tomatoes not only for palatability and food value but be cause the acid of the tomato helps destroy both bacteria and very re sistent spores which would other wise require steam under pressure for their destruction. it with water before setting it on the hot stove, and it should be ' . ready, with water boiling before the jars are filled with vegetables. TIN CANS In prdering tin cans the best are none too good. The sanitary can has an opening as large as the top of the can and is very easily pack ed. It is almost universally used. . The No. 3 can is popular for to matoes, peaches etc., and holds a quart. No. 2 is the next size small- K -er and is used generally for peas, ir corn, soud mixtures etc. No. 1 is the size for pimintoes.
