CANNING MEATS AT I
R HV
Meat* Must Be Canned in
(Prepared bf* the United States Departme It
j ' of Agriculture.)
The canplng of meats on the far ti
has become one of the most Important
methods of food preservation. Only
meats that have been freshly killed
and rlennjy handled should he preserved
in tjhis way. The United States
Department of Agriculture recommends
that the steam pressure canner
should always be used. A high temperature
^>f 250. degrees Fahrenheit,
equlvalentj to a steam pressure of B5
pounds pep square inch. Is required to
sterilize meats properly and prevent
spoilage.
In selecting a pressure canner tffie
following points should he carefully
checked: A pressure canner should
be strongly built and the top should
clamp on t tightly so that there is no
leakage of steam when It Is clos?d.
There m>A.k' be an air outlet with a ]>et
cock and j the lop should he equipped
with a pressure gauge, a therinomet er,
and a safety valve. Since the temperature
is a measure of the pressure). It
is ordinarily ussumed that one can be
interpreted In terms of the other. It
is better, however, to have botlt a
gauge and ? thermometer, for the one
serves to check the accuracy of the
other. In size a pressure canner
should he suited to the kind of Containers
and the probable number} to
be handled at one time. In caselthe
canner must he lifted on and offithe
stove during canning, It Is ulso | Important
that it should not be | too
heavy.
Directions for Canning.
After slaughtering, the meat may he
prepared for canning as soon as the
animal heat has disappeared. The directions
below are given for canning
roast pork, but they may he applied
to similar cuts of beef or lamb. The |
meat should always he cooked and sea- |
soned before it is canned?whether it
is roasted, fried, baked, or stewedjust
as though for immediate serving. I
so that the flavor will be retaineq. It
need not tie cooked tender but it
should lie cooked until the centfr Is

BIG DIFFERENCE
IN rmrip TYPFS
I j
Increased Use of Soft-Wheat \
Will Help Prices.
(Prrpar#d by th<? United State? Department
of Agriculture.)
It behooves the housewife to learn
to tell the difference between hardwheat
and soft-wheat flours," and to
';now the particular use for which
ach is best adapted. With this knowledge
she can then select a (lout well
suited to her needs often at a distinct
saving in price and to the bent tit of
local industry.
The United States Is now growing
about as much hard wheat as t can
economically. The Increase in the production
of baker's bread and In the |
use off machine mixers in the bake (
.shops, has greatly increased the demand
for the hard-wheat flours. Their
higher gluten content gives them
greater ability to absorb water gnd to
stand the severe "punishment" I given
the dough by power machinery,
For many home uses, softjwheat
flours are just as good or better than
the hard-wheat. It Is easier to make
render cake and flaky pie crust with

sauces, gravies and the hundred and I
noe other small Iiousehold needs one
kind Is as good as another. The; housewife
can thus by greater use of softftrheat
flours, help in stabilizing demands
and prices.
The housekeeper, however, sometimes,
has difficulty in telling what
type of flour she is buying. The
C'nlted States Department of Agriculture
suggests the following j simple
>sts for distinguishing hard-wheat
and fjoft-wheat flours:
The flours from soft wheats have
a veljvety texture somewhat "(ike cornstarch,
and those from hard wl eat are
usually more gritty, hut It requires
somej experience and a fine sense of
toucli to detect this difference. Expert.^
usually do it by taking n pinch
of flour and rubbing it lightly between
the jliumh and the third finger. Another
way to tell Is by squeezing a
handful ii t? tightly and--ktotft-ing

up the jar or can with hot gravy
stock, so that the sterilization period
will not be longer than necessary.
Either glass jars or tin cans may be
used for canning meats. Full directions
for each step in the process in
either case will he found in Farmers'
Bulletin 11SG, "Fork on the Fartn,"
and also recipes for preparing the various
parts of the hog in different ways
for canning. The flavoring and pro
portions in these recipes may tie varied
to suit individual tast?, but the length
of time and temperature for the
processing period of etch meat or mixture
should never be changed.
How to Can Roast Pork.
The ham, shoulder or loin of pork
is generally used for -ousting. Scrape
the skin clean and wipe it ^vith a damp
cloth. If the ham is used and the'skin
Is left on, cut with the point bf a
knife just through the skin so as to
dice It, anil trim witli cloves and tufts
of parsley if desired. Salt and pepper
to taste should be sprinkled over the
ham. Heat in a rrasting pan from
two to three tablespoonfuls of grease.
Put in tlie roast whin this is hot and
sear it quickly nil over to seal the
pores and prevent loss of the Juice of
the meat. Add two small turnips to
the roasting pan ami from one-half to
one cupfnl of boiling water. Leave
skin side up and do not turn, hut
haste frequently. When cooked through
and nicely browned, slice and pack in
cans or jars to within one-half inch of
the top of the can Add the gravy

constantly "stirred up" 'and half sick 1

While he knew that constipation was 1
