THE C01.1M('NI'1'1' CANNING
('ENTRE.
The rural woman has always been
keenly interested in the nrobletu of
making the farming upa•ratuons pro-
fitable, and rightly s"fur she is a
very vital port of cites- operations_
Shehas acquired the titbit of piating
self in the background and placing

'ieve, in sarin

too often, that her own bed y the
most delicate and moat important
machinery of all.
The Community Canning Centre at
Parkhill has gradually worked out a
solution for some of the problems of
the rural woman. It has demonstrat-
ed that such a centre can be self-
supporting and that it can bring to
the farm woman some of the help
which is so sorely needed. It can
help her to conserve the woman-
power which she so lavishly squan-
ders, and it can help her to be a
better wife and mother by giving her
more time to devote to herself and
to the making of lives, instead of
to the making of a living.
The canning centre in Parkhill be-
gan in 1816. The crop of fruit and
vegetables that year was bountiful,
and Canadians were being urged to
can all this for home consumption,
so that all the goods canned in fac-
tories could be released for the mil-
lions of people overseas who looked
to us for food. The labor of can-
ning big quantities at home is great.
Vegetables especially need to be cook-
ed for three days in, succession. and
with a hone equipment, only a few
cans can be 'cooked at one time.
Many housewives hesitated to give
the time required to this work. fear-
ing failure us a result. and it looked
as if much of what had been pro-
duced roust inevitably he wasted.
The Department sf Agriculture
sent out a circular from the Insti-
tutes Branch, telling all Women's
Institute members that canning cen-
tres would be establhshe,l at tine or
two points in each county and that
demonstrators would be sent to in-
struct the women in the art of can-
ning. Vegetables would receive
especial attention. The Department
meant by this that it would be a
centre where instruction would be
given for a day or two. Then the
demonstrator would pass on, and the
women would do the tanning at kerne
with their usual equipment.
But the Parkhill Institute took the
term "canning centre" literally. They
thought it meant a place where there
would be a canning plant of some
kind installed and where the women
would conte together and do their
work, making one kitchen and ,me
fire do the work that formerly re-
quired twenty kitchens and twenty
fires. This would be eo-operation,
economy and conservation, and world
fill a long -felt want.
They soon discovered that their cotl-
eeption of what a canning centre
should be, and the Department's
conception, were not one and the
same thing, but they persisted in
laying their conception before the
Department, until the idea made an
impression. Mr. Culverhouse. of
Vineland Experimental Station, was
sent up to see about what could be
done, and in due time the equipment
which -was necessary was installed.
The Armory was loaned to the
women by the Militia Department. A
boiler which weighed a couple of tons
was placed behind the Armory. and a
shelter for it was built by voluntary
labor. Two steam -heated vat., and a
steam -jacketed copper kettle
pp t were
placed in a small room at the rear
of the Armory building, to be near
the boiler, where the steam was gen-
erated. Plumbing was installed and
running water secured, and the can-
ning centre was ready. The icemen
brought about thirty baskets of blue-
berries, which were shipped in from
thfe north of Ontario. The vats leak•
ed both steam and water. The fleet
was flooded, the air was white. The
plumbing proved to be defective.
The water was turned off by the
town authorities, who were making
repairs. The day was one constant
succession of tlhings that -should not
have happened. But the idea was
right. the defects could be remedied,
and the women had firm faith in
the future. •
The first year, all canning was
done in glass sealers and cooked in
the steam -heated vats. A rack was
placed over the steam eoils in the
bottom of the vat. A few inches of
water surrounded the bottles. Tkis
water could be brought to the 'boiling
point in three minutes after the steam
was turned on, and dozens of cans
id cooked at once. Blau
coo be Blanching
could be done quickly and efficiently
in the steam -jacketed kettle, and
jams, jellies, syrups, berries and
soups were cooked in that same kettlp
in an incredibly short .apace of time.
'The work that fleet year was largely
for the Canadian military hospitals
overseas, although some work was
done for the community. All chick-
ens, fruit and vegetables were donat-
41d by the women of Middlesex and
other counties, and were canned in
the centre and shipped as a donation
• tolire lads who were sick so far from
,;bone. The expenses were paid by
cis* doartione, concerts, teas, and
w4},yts in which Institute women bare
betoms expert.
That was four years ago. Anarge,1
airy work room was built later to ,
the rear of the Armory, with a large '
storeroom upstairs. The work on
this building was nearly all volun-
tary -carpenters, masons, painters,
and others giving their time. The
old vats have been removed, and the
cooking is now done in retorts under
five to ten pounds steam „'esure,
which •m'aterinlly lessens the time re-
quired for cooking The i'etense heat
in these retorts makes the use of
glass sealers innossible art tin rens
are used, and there is a capping ma-
«bine for the tins, run by a gasoline
engine.
At a recent demonstration held in
the Centre the great saving in time
and fuel which is made by using tins
instead of glass was shown. When
the tin is used, the material Is
blanched, prepared, placed in the tin
capped, put in the retor, cooked
minutes instead of hours, removed
and put away. 'there is no fear that
the cans are not sir -tight no screw-
ing on of tuns, no breakage. very
Ile' Ie fuss
Tl•is year. peaches were bought
1 by the orchard, sugar by 12 -barrel
lots, peas and corn by the acre, and
other supplies in similar quantities.
T'a.se who had fruit or vegetables
..f their own brought them to be can-
ned and were of course, allow. - 1 full
value for these.
The Parkhill Canning Centre has
shown that, with proper „rganiza-
h.n. a e'mmunity canning centre
ran be self-supporting. And in every
.-.,nnnunity where there is a ete•amery
or a cheese factory. the problem of
having a centre should be very sim-
ple. Gett.int, the stn -am is the big
question, and in these factories, steam
is always available. A room in which
the equipment could be installed and
the work done -and the canning cen-
tre would be at their doors.
A community laundry is also feas-
ible. Here steam -run machines would
do the work quickly and easily. One
person could be hired to take charge
of the community wash day or groups
of women could come on certain days,
or one family could take charge one
week, another family another wt•ek,
and so on. Organized effort is all
that is needed to make a centre of
any kind :-elf-supporting and bene-
lical. But the rural women must first
of all eo-operate among themselves.
They must forst canning groups or
washing groups. and deride or the
days .,n which these groups w"old
te-e the ee stirs, sig that there w.,uId
be few. if any. days on which the
equipment would stand idle.
T:akc an ideal remmonis' day at
the canning centre. A group of fam-
ilies. men and women, came by auto

placed them in the retort- and watch-
ed the cooking process. These pail
•ire rest these families 1a rents •:all
This paid for the tin• the ov, ell. cal
t•spt•nsos, the engineer': salary and
the fuel, and left a littic profit.
With the assistance of the men
and the running centre equipment•
these women accomplished in 3 few
hours as much w.Ok a. would have
meant weeks of effort at some. Taus
teal cu -operation was se, ured. and
the Men helped the wosro 05 the
farm women so often help the :neer
In the afternoon, anoth::r group of
families ramp, did their work. and
took away hundreds of car:: in the
earning.
If it is desired to make money over
and above the running expenses,
this can easily be done by canning
surplus material. A ready sale can
is' found fur all such goods. They
are really • a home-made product.
They have a delicious flavor, and the
Pure Food Act has no terrors for
the women who offer them to the
{.uhlie as food.
The output from the Parkhill cen-
tre this year was 15.000 tins of dif-
ferent sizes, and 500 glass sealers.
used when the supply of tins ran out.
The 15,000 tins were about equally
divided, one-half going into the
}tomes in town and country' as eum-
ntunity work, the other half being
sold to the Government fir use in
Canadian military hospitals and to
private individuals in other places
throughout Canada. Fully fifty fam-
ilies who wanted to use the centre
to do their canning had to be turned
antes because the supply of tins ran
rut and00 more could be
procured
in time.
And is it not worth while? The
quilting bee, the paring bee of a hv•
gone day meant co-operation among
the neighbors and lightened tke
heavier tasks of the pioneer wormen's
day. The canning centre le the same
principle applied in a twentieth cen-
tury fashion. We send our ihiik to
a common centre. such as a cheese
factory, and we here lessened the
labor in the fart home in this way.
The time has come when individualism
must give way to the community spir-
it, and when organization must not
qnly be applled to secure better prices
but to secure better living conditions
and make farm life more attractive
by lessening the labor which falls to
the lot of women. It. is time that tie
rural woman took some thought for
herself. How much more tare is
taken, at times, of the colt's mother
than the mother of the farm boy takes
of herself? How much better chance
is given to that same colt to grow up
jlealthy beside his well -cared -for mo-
ther, than is given to the boy whose
mother is over-worked and over -heated
day after day?
The canning centre means
less
waste on the farm, less waste of
food, less waste of woman energy and
strength, less waste of time. Let. us
leave the tarifrs until we understand
them better, and let us consider prob-
lems whieh mean so much to women
everywthere. The men of Ontario
have their district representatives.
Why has not each county a home
demonstrator to help tke women?
Simply because the women have not
been interested in solving their own
problems. They have not asked -
and consequently they have not re-
ceived.

\'.t Pay t., Electrify- l.. H. & B. -
The following better-, taken from the
Leaden Advertise- may be of in-
terest: "In 0 letter feeeived yester-
day t.y Prof. L. A. Weed from Frank
Welsh, seer, tary-treasurer of the
Varna Fainter.' Club, Huron County,
the writer makes a vigorous attack
on the plan to electrify the London,
Huron and Bruce, instancing especial-
ly the rural depopulation in Stanley
Township where he lives. M r.
Welch's farm is in a block of 2,000
acres on the fifth concession. Twenty-
five years ago 1.,400 acres of this
was under tillage, and 600 acres in
grass, Now 90(1 acres are tilled and
1,100 are grassland. At that time
there were twenty-five able-bodied
men on the land supporting 77 per-
sons. To -da", there are twelve men,
two of whom are really boys, sup-
porting thirty-seven persons. By
elaborate calculations, Mr. Welch
shows that by no means could suf-
ficient freight 'be obtained from his
district to make the I.. H. & B., if
electrified, pay its way on the stretch
between Brucefield and Kippen. "You
mustp
P o ulate the
farms." he states,
"t6 get thefreight.
(1v
Give us hydro
for light :Inc! convenience, so as to
remove the drudgery front our wo-
men's lives. Then our young folk
will not turn cityward, our idle
lands will be reclaimed, and Ontario
will prosper." Mr. Weleh dues not
think that the scheme of electrifica-
tion would have any chance in his
township if put to a vote. "Respect-
ing the attitude of tke electors of
Stanley Township," he writes, "on
this question. I believe they would
he very rotten against it, as they are
strongly opined to hydro radials."

luge as to years of residence, passed
oway in the person of Mrs. William
G. Smullacombe, relict of the late W.
G. Sinallacomhe, who predeceased her

Death of Mrs, Newell. -.0n Sunday
morning last, one of our aged and
most respected residents passed away
in the ler:on of Mrs. Robert Newell,
whose .maiden name was Miss Eliza
7'aylir. The deceased was a woman
of stirling character and of a quiet
and retiring disposition, hut one with
whom you once became acquainted
you learned more and mere to prize
for her many excellent qualities.
Mrs. Newell bad reacher{ the good
old age of over 80 years, but had been
in declining health for several years
and during the past year was par-
ticularly poorly. A native of Derry,
Ireland, sh0 emigrated to this coun-
try with her parents and in early life
was married to her husband, Robert
Newell, who predeceased her some
14 years ago. Before coming to take
up,farming near Chiselhurst they
lived for some years near Stratford,
where they
hadvery
afine farm which
they sold of and then moved to their
r
late farm near Chiselhurst, where
they resided for many years before
the deceased came to our v1•Tlage,
and purrhased a neat home on Ox-
ford street where she continued to
live until her death together with
her two unmarried daughters and
who gave her such good care and
attention during her advancing years
and illness. Mrs. Newell leaves to
mourn her loss six sons and four
daughters, nearly all of whom are
living at a distance.- The funeral
service on Tuesday afternoon last
wag conducted by her pastor, the Rev.
J. A. M('Ctmnell, who bore high test-
imony to her fine life and true
Christian character. The funeral was
a private one and the remains were
interred in the Hensel( Union cem-
etery. The bereaved sons and daugb-
ters, who lose a splendid mother in
every sense of the term, have the
sympathy of all.
