Hello, Homemakers!
Do you can garden -fresh flavour?
Whittle down those hours between
Virden and jar. The shorter the

.the better the flavour, texture
colour and vitamin tally. Sound,
top-quality, fresh food to work with

:good as It was when it went into
the Jar. Overripe or bruised fruit is
.not worth your time ar jar; it

may not even keep.
ere your fruits as clean as a
aktle? Pick over and clean fruit
TOOT a good light.

Can, sterile jars are a necessity
to successful canning. Use lots of

way to use your jar gaps?
Vacuum raps should be turned
back % inch, those with screw

screwbands should be tightened;
the •claIU'type secured by lowering
the Second clamp. Never reuse war''

Zinc or tin bands which have be.
coarse hard and dry should also be
replaced.
Do you accurately pr e co o k
(blanch) before packing A quick
precooking shrinks the food and
se s the colour, so that each jar
contains the optimum amount. If
directions read, "Precook 5 miuutes
in boiling water," it's the signal for
you to put food in boiling water. let
it return quickly to boil then begin
5 minute tinning. Be accurate,
Watch the clock. Do not let food
Bland around because delays may
cause ilat-sour.
Do you crowd food into jai's?
Crowding may interfere with the
thorough cooking required for safe-
keeping• Crowding may prevent a
tight seal. Leave Iia inch above fruit
to top et jar, but then fill to over-
flowing with boiling liquid. Do you
know how to "burp" the jar? Run
a knife down the inside 'to free air
bubbles. Blup, blip — the liquid
fills the gaps. After this treatment,
tilt again to the top with liquid.
'When using a boiling water bath,
do you mount your jars on a rack
1/ inch from the bottom of the
deep kettle with the water cove*3ng
one inch over their tops'? They
should stand at least inch apart,
so that hot water can circulate, Do
you keep the water boiling steadily,
adding boiling water if necessary
Do you process for the exact
number of minutes? Then dip out
sante of the water and it will be
easier to lift out the finished pro -
duet. Place the jars on a pad of
paper, away from drafts; complete
sena and let cool. Label jars and
stere in a cool dry place.
Don't depend on the grapevine
directions of your neighbours, use

"One -Way" Farming for Profit
A striking example of the effectiveness
of a machine, in helping farmers operate
successfully under difficult conditions, is
found in the One -Way Disc. Introduced
during the drought spell and period of
low prices for farm products, it helped
farmers cut down their production costs,
thereby leaving them more margin
for profit.
It is little wonder then that the One -
Way Disc Seeder speedily became one
of the most popular machines on the
market. Preparing the soil and sowing
the seed in one operation, the One -Way
Disc Seeder saves time and expense.
Used as a tillage machine* it destroys
weeds and leaves the land in a conditiorn
to resist soil drifting. In effect the One -
Way Disc offers the usefulness of two.
machines at little more cost than the
price of one.
In design and construction the
MASSEY-HARRIS One -Way Disc offers
special advantages that appeal to users.
The sturdy frame construction, long;
wear replaceable bearings, patent:A
stone jumper, easily adjusted direct c.. -aft
hitch, and quick action power lift are
features that contribute to the popu-
larity. of the MASSEY-HARRIS. Your
local dealer will be glad to give you
full particulars.
