is not effective, when compared to

The hot pack insures high temper-

For this new method the vegetables
are sirep y precooked until they have
reached the boiling temperature. Then
they are packed in clean, hot jars and
set in the canner to be processed. Tie
cans packed with hot vegetables may
be -sealed at once without the usual
exhaust and put into the canner. This
saves time and energy. Of course the
vegetables must be boiling hot when
put in the tins.

THE DONKEY WAGON

exploring the various nooks and cran-

But into it we jumped, making the
whole concern tremble through and

to shake it, gleefu)ly,imitating a "go."
"This is our wagon!" declared Eddie.
