'Cooking in the Jar”
Home Cauning Method
(Prepared by Home Economics De-
partment, University of Texas.)
Put uncooked fruit and syrup into
cold jars; fill jar to top. Put rub-
ber rings around neck of jar; place
the lid, but do not fasten. Be care-
ful not to press down the spring at
the side of the jar.
Place a false bottom in the boiler.
The bottom may bi either wire or
cross bars of wood. If the jars are
placed on the bottom of the boiler,,
the heat will cause them to crack.
Leave spaces between the jars. Pour
‘ sufficient water to- form - it -sccamf
cover on the boiler. Keep the
water boiling for one'hour. Remove
cover to let steam escape; press
down spring at side of jar. This
makes the jar air tight.
The parent bapteria is usually
killed if heated to a temperature of
212 degrees for one hour, but the
little seed or spores are sometime
very resistant and have to be sub-
jected to a lew heat for several
hours, or be heated on sueeessive
days. If one little seed or spore is
Itft, it will develop many million in
a short while. That any spores may
be killed which have developed with-
in the twenty-four hours, again on
the second day place the jar in cold
water and heat to boiling, (the
second boiling kills the bacteria be-
fore any have had time to develop
scores) raise the spring at the side
of the jar to relieve the pressure
from the steam that might be form

ed in the jar during the second cook-
ing. Heat according to the type of
material. Remove jars from the
boiler, damp on top and cool as on
first day. Repeat same process on
’hird day. When removing jars from
the boiler wrap in a warm cloth. A
sudden change in temperature is apt
to crack the jar. The third heating
is not necessary in canning tomatoes,
rhubarb, cranberries and gooseber-
ries, as the acid they'contain is not
p good food for the germs.
During the first heating, the fruit
usually shrinks, leaving a space in
the top of the jar. This does not hin-
der the keeping qualities. Fruit
canned in this way has not been
handled or exposed to the air after
heating, therefore, there is the slight-
est possible chance of contamination
Fruits and vegetables canned in this
way have an excellent flavor and
retain their attractive color.
The same process may be repeated
only placing the jars in a steam
cooker instead of a boiler. Heat
jars fifteen minutes after chamber
is full of steam.

trict court of Harrison county, Texas,
It is the opinion of the editor of
this paper that it would be injudic-
ious and extratagant at this time to
pay out such a small dividend, as the
checks would take several thousand
men several days to write and the
rest of rending each check to the cred
itors would be considerable. Very few
creditors hold enough claims to
amount to anything on so (mall a
percentage.

There is more or less speculation
as to what is the best ration to com-
bine with ensilage in feeding live-
stock.
Carev Jameson, feeding two ears of
steers for Chris Parsons, scored a
daily gain of more than 3 1-4 lbs.,
using cold-Dressed meal and ensilage
in the fattening process.
The steers,
were tod
weighed in at 625 pounds, were given
an avorewe daily toed of forty-two
pounds of ensilage and six pounds of
iold-nressod meal. At the end of eigh-
ty-two days the cattle weighed ouf
*W7 pounds, which shows a gain of
773 pounds nor head, or a. little more
than 3 1-4 pounds a day per head.
The cattle were loaded at Coleman
Wednesday and consigned to the Ft.
Worth market.
It is generally conceded among
feeders that a percentage of dry mat-
ter is needed to bring about best re-
sult* in feeding ensilage. The dailv
gain in the instance above cited
would indicate that the combination
of ensilage a: d cold-pressed meal
furnishes a mme balanced ration than
if found in ensilage and pure cotton
seed meal. How aver, this test is not
intended as cot elusive, but it open*
the way tor further discussions and
conclusions
