Sterilizing Preparatory to Canning Described -- Drying Methods and | the Cold Pack Also Described. | (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) fo ee a | T is a universally known fact | that foods not properly preserved | will spoil. They will ferment, de- cay, putrefy 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. tion of food preservation resolves it- self into the problem of preventing these bacteria, yeasts and molds from' growing or mvlitiplying on or in the | toods. This is done in various ways | according to the natur# of the food | | to be preserved. In the preservation of such vege- i | tables as green peas, beans, asparagus | H | 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 fer- ment and rot. rotting is due to the development of the bacteria which are present un the | vegetables. | 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 such vege- tables in the fresh condition the baec- | teria present have to be all killed and | | all other bacteria prevented from get- | | ting on the material until 1t is to be | used. the process of canning is ~esorted to. To get satisfactory results from can- | is neceasary to | ning wegetables it have: 1st. Good sound healthy vegetables. { 2nd. Good clean sealers with tight- fitting tops and good rubbers. 3rd. Wash the vegetables and fill { into' the sealers. | 4th. Cover with water salted to taste. 6th. Put on slightly loose. 6th. Place sealers in a steamer or boiler half filled 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 half hour's boiling. 9th. Repeat this process after an- other 24 hours. Then tightea down the tops and place away. This treatment should destroy 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 three to four hours. This, how- ever, cannot be depended en to give as satisfactory results as the above. Another method is to heat in steam under 15 lbs. pressure for thirty min- utes. This is the commercial way for which special strong steamers (auto- claves) that can withstand internal pressure are necessary. Another method of preserving vegetables is by drying in special ovens. This drying process extracts sufficient moisture from the vege- tables to prevent the bacteria present from having the power to multiply unless the materials should get moist before being used. If sufficient mois- ture is not extracted, or should the dried materials get moist during stor- age, then decay or rot will rapidly develop, as the bacteria are not killed in the drying process and only re- quire moisture to enable them to de- velop. Such fruits as strawberries, rasp- berries, plums, peaches, currants, blueberries, etc., which are soft, can- the | they are canned. The canning process is simply for the purpose of killing all mold spores and yeast cells that are on the fruit and preveating others getting om un- | til the material is to be used. | Canning fruits is not so dificult as | canning vegetables because it is eas- ier to kill yeasts and molds which affect fruits than it is to kill bacteria that affect vegetables. These fruits may be cooked in a fruit kettle, sugar added te taste, and i filled hot direct from the kettle into | sterilized sealers removed direct from | scalding water.

Another way to preserve such fruits is by the cold pack method. this method the fruits are not cooked || fruit not overripe should be used. This is picked over and filled directly into clean sealers. Stone fruit should be pitted. i A syrup of sugar and water sweet- | ened to taste is then filled into seal- || ers so as to completely cover the it fruit.

The sealers are then placed | In a boiler containing cold water suf- | ficient to reach three-fourths up the | 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.

Sound | PURITY OF CROP. Oare Needed In Handling of Seeds and Weeds. | A great deal has been said about | the pifrity of seed and the use of good | seed. How may this be procured and | kept pure? THe Experimental Farms { distribute small samples of good seed, but the grain grower is the man { who must maintain its purity. The | samples that the Experimental Farms | distribute are sufficient to seed 1.20 haLan acre. It is the care of this plot "and the subsequent Plots tHAt I wish | to emphasize. | The seed should be sown in a plot | about 33 feet by 66 feet in dimen- | sion, on the most productive piece of | land (suitable for grain) on the farm, | The seed bed should be as nearly | perfect as the most approved meth | ods of cultivation in the district will permit. Seeding of this plot should be done as early in the spring as is | possible within reason. The seed drill must be thoroughly clean and Poe from grains of other varieties. ? seeding it is well to leave a small Path about 12 inches to 14. inches | between each strip of the drill. This Filling the Silo. may be done by allowing the wheel of the seeder to return in track made | by the wheel on the land already | seeded. During the growing period all nox- | fous weeds and large weeds that will | be detrimental to the crop should be removed. The path referred to | above is useful in that it allows ready | access to the plot with a minimum amount of damage. Weeding should be done from time to time all] through the season. When the plot heads out "rogueing" should start. Rogueing is the process of eradicat- ing the grain plants that are off type or those of other varieties; anything, in fact, that is foreign to the plot | should be removed. The more care- | fully that this is done, the purer will be the resulting seed. The plot | should be carefully rogued three or | four times before the harvest, and | more especially should the plot be | caretully rogued the day that it is to be cut, as at this time differences | that have not shown before may be more readily noticed. Further operations should all be done by hand, where possible, unless | great care is taken to see that all | machinery is faultlessly clean. The | binder may be used for cutting if all | adhering straw and heads have been removed, but preferably cut by hand. The stooks should be covered to pre- pvent the ravages of birds and. also to | keep the grain from getting weather- | ed. It ds absolutely essential that | threshing be done by hand. The eas- | lest method is to use the flail; be | sure that your barn floor is perfectly | clean. If the stooks are carried to | the barn in large sheets or tarpau- | lins purity can be more readily main- | tuined and the threshing made more | easy. When dealing with large plots, | or in exceptional cases, the threshing machine may be used, but only when one is perfectly certain that stray grains have been removed, and then it is advisable to thresh only when | the grain from the plot is of a dif- | ferent class of grain from that which | has been threshed in the mill pre- | ¥lously; follow wheat by oats or bar- | ley, oats by wheat or barley; never { thresh wheat after wheat, or oats after oats. When cleaning the seed be abso- lutely sure that all foreign grains are removed from fanning mill. Take out all the sieves and clean out thorough- | ly all the cracks and crevices that are | Hkely to retain grain of other sam- { ples. Be certain the machinery -and grain containers are perfactly clean. The grain should be stored in clean OT pm AO OOO TO ET { bags in a place free from the ravages | of mice, etc. All grain growers are advised to | | maintain a seed plot. The method outlined above may be used on a larger scale for a regular seed plot. This plot should be large enough so | that a considerable quantity of grain { of known purity may be produced for | subsequent crops. The secrets of suc- | cess in the care of the plot are thor- | oughness and care. Good, pure seed is essential to good farming. A Pruning Experiment. A pruning experiment started in 1914 with one-year-old Delicious ap- | ple trees to determine the relative in- fluence of different pruning systems | upon the size, character of growth, and fruiting age of apple trees, showed that trees headed at § or 6 feet did mot produce as many short branches (potential fruiting wood) | during the first three years in the orchard, as trees headed at two feet.
