Successful Canning
Certain fruits and vegetables may
be preserved in such a way that they
will retain Indefinitely their original
flavor, color and structure. Th's Is
In the nature of a discovery made by
Profossor F. F. Pernot of the Oregon
Agricultural college. A report of Prof.
Peruot's Investigations Is given n
Bulletin No. 87 of the experiment
station, Corvallls, and for the b'jr.aAt
of the housekeeper who Is wrei'.Un
with the canning problem we jle
the salient points of the bulletin.
Successful canning Is a question of
sterllzlng- If a can of fruit spoil
it means that It was not propKly
sterilized to start with or three wn a
leakage In the can. Spoiling of the
fruit Is due to germs, which were (n
the fruit when It was canned or en
tered the can later. Sterilizing kills
the germs, and the fruit may be steri
lized by cooking or heating. We quote
the following paragraph from the
bulletin:
Micro-organisms, not unlike nil
other plants, possess t he powtr of
self-preservation and of perpetuating
their kinds; one Is by means of pr
duel tig spores, or seeds, which aie
very resistant; while others which do
not produce spares have a resU.:i.g
power nearly equal to that of
spores.
Heating the fruit to 150 decreet
for 10 minutes will kill the germs
without Injuring the good qualities of
the fruit, but the spores, which are
the "unlncubated' germs, will n.:
be Injured at that temperature and
will become "germs" tn another dry,
when the heat should be again ap
plied. A few sores may escape the
second heating, making a third
steaming necessary.
First, clean the fruit jars of cans
by means of a brush, using hot wa
ter to which washing powder has
been added. After washing thorough
ly steam the jars to remove any dirt
that may remain. Second, after wash
Ing the vegetables or fruit place them
in jars, completely filling them. Then
add water to fill the interstices, and
put on lid. lion t screw n on
or the jar will burst when beat Is
ipplk'd. Third, arocure wooden
steap chest, the wan- -.fr will do,
and put some water In the bottom
of It. Put slats In the bottom on
which to set the jars. Fourth, to
get the proper-temperature of 160 to
65 for 10 minutes. Then re-
temperature get above 165. Then re
move jars and screw lids on tight
immediately. Repeat the steaming a
second and third time at Intervals of
24 to 4& hours. The jars are then
sterile. Cans nmy be used Instead of
jars. If the latter are used the vent
in the top of the can will have to
be soldered after the first steaming.
Boiled but not boiling water should
be used for filling the jars, or a
syrup may be used Instead of water.
Unsterlllzed water or syrup may con
tain about 10,000,000 germs In a
quart jar, and It Is Just as well to
"nip them In the bud" by steriliz
ing the water. It Is Important that
tue fruit or vegetables be neither
under-rlie nor over-ripe. The same
Kocd judgment used In selecting ma
terial for the table should be exer
cised In tile matter of canning.
It wfcs found In the tests made al
ih? "experiment station that a tcra-
pvratiire of 165 degrees was sufficient
Ito sterilize the fruit when treated
as a'mve. and this temperature d'd
not Impair the flavor or structure of
the fruit. Where only one heating

neries, It s necessary to heat the
fruit as high as 240 debtees ia order
to Mil both spores and germs.
it shout.) be stated thul this meth
od of canning was not suocestful with
F.wett peas and corn, as they have a
g.M-m normally that Is no killed at a
temperature of 165.
Ibis method would pro'.-a.My not be
practicable' at canneries where fruit
is sold at low prices, owing to the
addition expense of treating the
cans three times; but for first-class
high-priced goods the additional ex
pense would be warranted. In tbe
case of home canning, however, It
Is a more desirable method of put
ting up fruit and vegetables than
the methods usually in vogue.

THE MIGHTY LION.
it
Is Easy Enough U tears Him If
You Knew Just Hsw.
If a lion or a tiger suddenly appears
before you. Just bold a chair out In
front of him. sud he wou't do a tblug.
Allen Williams, wbo, in tbe course of
his experience wltb wild animals has
been In thst predicament often enough
to know, says: "Tbese creatures have
a much more limited Intelligence than
Is generally supposed. They can take
In only one thing at a time, ami the
four legs of a chair would keep any
Hon busy thinking for a loug time.
"That Is the reason why animal
trainers carry two wbtps when they
are tn the circus ring. One for crack
Ing and awing the performers, tbe oth
er for emergencies. If one of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds tbe reserve whip tn front of blm.
The two objects together are too much
for tbe lion's intelligence, and he la Im
mediately subdued."
Another proof of the Halted intelli
gence or the cat tribe, say trainers, la
tbe fact that their performances must
always come In the same order of suc
cess I on. If by some accident the order
la broken, tbe' animals are completely
lost and the trainer are few who can
keep them In submission once they be
come confused. In fact, most trainers
consider themselves lucky In case of'
this sort If they can get tbe lions
quietly back Into their cages. 1
