PROPER CANNING
PROTECTS HEALTH
From State Board of Health.
Preserved foods have been employ
ed by man since early times, when it
was necessary to carry foods from
times of superabundance to those of
scarcity. Certain processes of food
preservation have been practiced on
a small scale for hundreds of years.
It is within the last hundred years
that these processes have been in
creased and improved to the extent
of having an important bearing on
our food supply. The preservation
of food by canning, that ia enclosing
in heremetically sealed containers,
and then subjecting to the action of
heat sufficient to destroy the organ
isms of fermentation, putrefaction,
or decay, dates from the early years
of the nineteenth century. It is not
surprising that in view of the igno
rance of microbic life, of spores, and
of the significance of bacteria that
grew without air, there ahould have
been many failures and much spoil
age.
In the last twenty-five years science
has replaced guesswork, and exact
knowledge is taking place of ignor
ance and superstition. Scientific con
trol of canning has made the product
clean, wholesome, sterile, and safe
from contamination. Canning is
therefore a direct aid to public health.
But the principles of safe canning
are not well understood by the public.
Specific directions for canning have
not taken into consideration the ther
mal death point of certain bacterial
spores that are found on fruit and
vegetables in many parte of this
country. It is also true that definite
experiments have not been made to
determine the heat penetration of
the various packs used in home can
ning. This is a service that the home
economic department of our state ed
cational institutions and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture ahould de
velop in order to safeguard home canning.
Canned foods should be made from
sound material, and should be pre
pared in a cleanly, sanitary manner.
1. Wash thoroughly with pure
water.
2. Cook all vegetables such as
string beans, corn, spinach, etc., at a
minimum temperature of 240 degrees
Fahrenheit. This temperature can be
obtained only under pressure. The
spore of B. botulinua is decidedly heat
resistant, such temperatures as z
degrees for 4 minutes; 239 degrees F.
for 10 minutes; Z30 degrees r. ior so
minutes: 221 degrees F. for 110 mm
utes; 212 degrees F for 360 minutes
have been demonstrated as the mini
mum time which the most resistant
strains of B. botulinus have not with
stood.
3. Vegetables that are preserved at
water bath or boiling temperature
should never be tasted but reheated
and boiled at least 25 or 30 minutes
before using. The toxin or poison is
destroyed at boiling temperature, but
the time necessary for sucti destruc

good time to pick out especially good
tubers for the special aeed plot this
spring. Medium sired potatoes well
filled out at the ends, free from
knobs, not misshaped, and without
any tendency toward being spindly
are best. Potatoes with rather deep
eyes for the variety are often more
free of disease. Those with the stem
end discolored are not suitable.

FARM POINTERS.
From 0. A. C. Experiment Station.)
Look out for larkspur and water
parsnips. Both these planta may be
found in the pastures now and are
poisonous to stock. Where stock has
died from poisoning before, pasture
land should be carefully watched for
these plants. Preventive methods
rather than treatment of the trouble
are the best means of controlling the
poison.
Watch the chicks more than the
thermometer. They will ahow you if
the temperature is right no matter
what the thermometer reads. Watch
them constantly during the first week
as this is the critical period.
With the present price of butter-
fat it is not advisable to churn at
home with the idea of selling the
butter. Butter for home use may be
secured by trading one pound of butter-fat
for one pound of butter at
your local creamery, and this eaves
the work of churning. Dairy butter
usually sells from 6 to 10 cents cheap-
than creamery butter, tnereiore
you can get as much for the fat as
you can for the butter. A steady and
regular trade for the butter made is
an exceptional ease.

And a valuation recognising all the
elemrnta of value assured to the or
dinary property-owner would be far
in excess of this amount.
The tentative minimum valuation of the rnllroads at the end of
1919 was found by the Interstate Commerce Commission to be
$18,900,000,000. This valuation was based mainly on coBt of labor,
materials, equipment, etc., on June SO, 11114. The subsequent in
vestment from January 1, 1920, to December 31, 1923, brings the
Interstate Commerce Commission valuation for rnto-making pur
poses as of December 31, 1923, up to about $21,200,000,000.
Each reader can judge for himself the fairness of the conten
tion that the Interstate Commerce Commission vnluntlon should
bo reduced by from $7,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000. Such a con
tlscntion of values would In effect be a denial to the railroads of
their chief menns of keeping pace with the development of the
country. , ,
