Plant Gardens.
Owing to a shortage in sumi
mer vegetables due to the
drought, many pantries are not
yet well stocked against the
winter demands.
As all indications point to extremely
high prices in foodstuffs
this year and particularly in
canned goods of all descriptions,
housewives are urged to plant
now such vegetables as onions,
early cabbage and green salads
of various sorts which will stand
uur winter climate, and to can
or dry all late beans, peas,
tomatoes, corn, pears, etc.
If one has or can secure the
use of a steam pressure canner,
sweet potatoes may also be
canned; it has been shown that
in an ordinary year a large part
of the potato crop is lost when
stored by the usual hilling
method, and in a severe winter
such as those of the two past
years practically the entire crop
is rendered unfit for use. For
this reason it is advisable to can
as many as possible both for
home use and for market,
canned potatoes being in greater
demand on the market than any
other vegetable except tomatoes.
The methods of caimimr nm?.
- - *o
toes are two, but both necessitate
boiling, peeling the potato first.
Then either mash the potato and
pack it in the can dry or cut it
in tubes and pack with a syrup
made by allowing one tablespoonful
of sugar to a two pound
can; in either case the packing
and processing must be done at
1 once to prevent discoloration.
If packed in tins exhaust three
pound can 15 minutes, very hot,
and process 70 minutes under
15 pound pressure. If using
gl ass process four hours straight.
