All Bacteria rresent Illnet Be De- • stroyed - Hints on C..eaming and Sealing, and Also on Drying Its Special Ovens -Storing Peruke. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toront*.) IT is a universally known fact that foods not properly preeerved will spoil. They will fernaent, decay, putrify or .become moldy. These changes are brought about by the development of bacteria, yeasts and molds on or, in, the food. If these micro-organisms can be prevented , from:growing on or in the food it will not spoil. Therefore, the question of food preservation resolves iteelt Into the problem of preventing these bac- teria, yeasts and molds from growing or multiplying on or in the- foods:. This is done in various ways accord- ing to the nature of the read to be preserved. Overheating or freezing will usual- ly kill -the living tissue of whicia the roots are composed, after 'which they will readily decay as a result of the rapid multiplication of.baoteria and molds in the dead tissue. ( In the preservation of auch vege- tables as green peas, beans, asparagus and green corn different measure's are necessary. These are 'green and juicy and if stored in the fresh con- dition they will either wilt or ferment and rot. This fermentation and rot- ting is due to the development of the bacteria which are present on the vegeta.bles. There will be stfficient moisture present in the mass to en- able the bacteria to multiply and feed on the material and thus induce the rot. So in order to preserve saol, vege- tables in the fresh condition the bac- teria present have to be all killed and all other bacteria prevented from get- ting on the material until it is to be used. In order to accomplish this the process of canning is resort. -t to. To get satisfactory results from eanning vegetables it is necessary to have: 1st. Good sound healtky vege- tables. -. 2nd. Good clean sealers with tight- . fitting tops and good rubbers. ard. Wash the vegetables and nil into the sealers. 4th. Cover 'with water malted to taste. 5th. Put on the tops, and leave slightly loose. 6th. Place sealers in a steamer or boiler half tilled with cold water and heat 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 and give another haft hour's boiling. 9th. Repeat this process atter an- other 24 hours. Then tighten down the tops and place away. This treatment should drestrvf all micro-organisms present and if the top is hermetically sealed no others can -get in until it is opened. Another method of sterilizing is to give one boiling to the filled sealers for 3-4 hours. This, however, cannot be depended on to give as satisfactory results as the above. Another method is to hest in steam under 15 lbs. pressure for thitty min- utes. This is the commercial way for which special • strong steamers (autoclaves), that can withetand in ternal pressure, are necessary. A small vessel of this type suitable for household use is now on the market. Another method of preeerving vegetables is by drying them in spe- cial ovens. This drying process ex- tracts sufficient moisture from the vegetables to prevent the bacteria. present from having the power to multiply unless the materials should get moist before being used. It suf- ficient moisture is not extraoted or should the dried materials get mdist during,storage, then decay or rot will rapidly develop, as the bacteria, are not killed in the drying process .and only require moisture to enable them to develop. In the storing ofasuch traits as apples and pears it is eseaatual: 1. To have only sound spoebnets. 2. To pack carefully without bruising. 3. To store in a cool, well„.ventilat- ed place where they will neither ,l)e,- ovetheated or frozen. • Such fruils‘a,s Strawberriee, rasp- beiries, 'plums, peaches, currants, - • , , blueberries, etc., which,:are eon, can- not be'kept any „length, & thne outwithunless ferinentine"ornifoldizg -the Y are canhe41. , ' The canning proCess is simply for the purpose of killing all,mald spores and yeast cells that are on the fruit and preventing others getting on un- til the material is to be used.

These fruits may be cooked ba fruit kettle, sugar added to taste, and filled. hot direct from the kettle into sterilized sealers removed direct from scalding water. • Another way to preserve such' Uncomfortable• Seats of Mightla• fruits is by the cold pack method. la tills method the fruits are not cooked .ponrBleysoiyddellnTtereElsnxcatenlhabintealwtthie°eelinkPlanagieisnrigtsaonnd aa Thisis Picked over and filled directly - The fruit not overripe should be used:. •before putting into the sealer.
