PRESERVATION OF FOOD ; LATE POTATO SPRAYING
Bsseutias in Saving Vegetables
and Fruits..
Sterilising Preparatory to Catmint
Described Drying Methods and
the Cold Pack Also Described.
(ContribudbyOntaoopartment ot
rre
IT is a universally known tact'
that foods not properly preserved
will. spoil. They will ferment, :de-
cay, putrefy or become moldy.
These changes are brought about by
the development o! bacteria, yeasts
and molds on or in the food. It these
rniero-organisms can be prevented
from growing on, or iu the food it
will not spoil, Therefore, the ques-
tion of food preservation resolves it-
self into the problem of preventing
these bacteria, yeasts and molds from
growing or multiplying on or in the
foods, This is done in various ways
according to the nature of the food
Ws be preserved.
In the preservation of such vege-
tables as green peas, beaus, asparagus#
and green corn, cooking and sealing
are necessary, These are green and
juicy, and if stored in the fresh con-
dition they will either wilt or ter-
ment and rot, This fermentation and
rotting is due to the development of
the bacteria which are present en the
vegetables. There will be sumelent.
moisture present in the mass to en-
able the bacteria to multiply and feed
on the material and thus induce the
rot.
:;o in order to preserve such vege-
tables, in the fresh condition the bac-
teria present have, to be all killed and
.til other hr'eteria prevented from. get-
ring on the material until at is to be
used. In or•dee to aeeolupllsh this
the process of canning is resorted to.
To get satietttete ry results froua can-
ning Vegetables it Is necessary to',
have;
lst. Good sound healthy vegetables.'
2nd. Good clean sealers with tight-
fitting tops and good rubbera.
3rd. Wash the vegetables and ell
into the sealers,
4th. Cover with water salted to
Taste,
5th. Put on the tops and leave
;lightly loose.
6th. Place sealers in a steamer or
boiler Balt filled with cold water and
beat to the boiling point for half an
hour.
7th. Remove sealers from boiler or
steamer and tighten down the tops.
8th, After 24 hours loosen the tops
and return to the boiler or ,steamer
aed give another 'hall hour's coiling,
9th. Repeat this process after an-
other 24 hours. Then tightendown
the tops and place away.
This treatment should destek
r all
micro-organisms present, and if the
top is hermetically sealed no others
ern get in until it is opened.
Another method of sterilizing is to
ee^e ons boiling t:+ the filled sealers
for three to four hours. This, how-
ever, cannot be t.epended on to 'give
es sutisi:actor, reetzlts as the above.
Another method is to heat in steam
un'ler 15 lbs. pressure for thirty min-
utes. This is the commercial way for
which special atrtu:4.; steamers (auto-
claves) that can withstand internal
pressure are nscesseey.
Another method of preserving
t egc,r .'files is by drying in special
,ties. This drying erneess extracts
:ttei nt moisture Item the vege-
eibles to prevent tele haeteria present

age, then decay or rot will rapidly.
develop, as the bacteria are not killed
in the drying process and only re-
ql:tire moisture to enable themto de-
velop,
Such fruits as strawberries, rasp-
berries, plums, pr.:ehes, currants,
blueberries, etc., which are soft, can-
not be kept any Isegth of time with.
out fermenting es molding unless
they are canned.
The canning process is simply for
the purpose of killing all mold spores
and yeast cells tl:a;t are on the fruit
and preventing others vetting on un-
til the material is to be used.
:Canning fruit -see not so difficult as
canning vegetables because it is eas-
ier to kill yeasts and melds which
affect fruits than it is to kill bacteria
that affect vegetables,,
These fruits may be cooked in 'a
fruit kettle, sugar added to taste, and
filled hot direct from the kettle into
sterilized sealers removed direct from
scalding water. The covers, rings and
rubbers should be put on at once di-
rect from scalding water and screwed
down tightly. ,
Another way to preserve such
fruits is by the cold pack method. In
this method the. fruits are not cooked
before putting into the sealer. Sound
fruit'' not oyerripe 'should be used.
This is picked over and filled directly
Into clean sealers. Stone fruit should,
be pitted.
A syrup of sugar and water sweet-
ened to taste is then •filled into seal-
ers so as to epmpletely cover the
fruit.' The tops,' rubbers and rings
are put on but not screwed down
tightly. The -sealers are then placed
In a boiler containing cold water suf-
&tient to reach three-fourths upthe
sealers and this is brought to a boil
and kept boiling for, half an hour.
The sealers, are then removed and the
tops screwed down tightly at once.
When cooled, store away.--Prof.-
D. H. Jones, O. A. College, Guelph.
Feed Plenty, to Hens. -
Feed plenty of the feed a you have
on hand. Heins prefer rolled oats and
barley to whole grain. A' ration of
one-third each of oats, ;barley and
cracked corn gives first-class results
Supply plenty of tender 'green feed
shade and clean drink, Water should
be given in abundance and must
always be clean and fresh. Barnyard

Not as much harm as might be ex-

and the ir.cre•asa in yield and sound-
ness of the crop will more than eorn-
ponsate for whatever loss there may
be. For convenience in spraying,
rows of potatoes should be at least
thirty inches apart. Spraying for Late
Blight and Rot is an insurance which
few can afford to neglect.—Prof.

Lime to Increase Crop Yields.
The soils in many parts of the pro-
vince are so depleted of their lime
that they are becoming sour or acid.
This is animportant fact as few, if
any, of our farm crops can make their
a;-•st growth on a soil carrying an
ursufticient supply of lime. This is
especially true of leguminous plants
nod it is probable that the frequent
"killing out" _of clover during the
first winter is due` to lack of stair
c:ient lime.
Lime acts in several ways. It
neutralizes the acids formed in the
soil through the teecay of organic mat-
tes.; it ovetcoaid s the tenacity of clay
soils, binds sands together and thus
improves the physical condition of
both types of soil. Lime is not only
an essential constituent of the food
of plants, but it also tends to liber-
ate plant food, especially potash, from
the insoluble forms in the soil, bring-
ing them into an available state. The
micro-organisms that live on the
roots of the nitrogen -gathering plants
cannot work jn an acid soil, nor can
some other forms of organlsms•whose
function it is to gather nitrogen.
Consequently it is evident that a soil
destitute of lime or even very low
in lime cannot produce maximum
crops. Coupled with these facts, eve
.have the happy condition that lime is
one of the cheapest fertilizers, if we
may call it such, that can be ,pur-
chased.
Lime or Quick Lime is made by,
heating limestone rock or carbonate
of lime, to a sufficiently high temper-
ature to break up the compound into
the oxide of line and carbon -dioxide.
The former substance is what we
know in common terms as ;'fresh
burned lime" or "quick lime." It
the limestone rock is ground. to a fine
powder we have "grou id limestone"
or "agricultural lime. It requires
about two tons of ;this latter sub-
stance to be equal to one ton of quick
lime, and the prices charged for them
are in about the same proportion:
Furthermore two -tons of the former
to one ton of the latter are about the
right quantities to apply.
The ground limestone rock is safe
onany land In almost most any quantity;'
and maybe applied at any time of the
year. On heavy clay soils quick lime,
slaked before : applying, may give
quicker "results; but it should.; notrbe
appli „d to light : sandy soils, Few
rinatsrials: or fertilizers can have so,
many good things -said about them as,
lime and none of them cost oo; little
money. Try out at little yourself thin
year.—Prof. R,;,Harcourt,• 0. A. Col-.

lets are the earlier and most .profit
