Decay of food products is brought about by minute forms of vegetable ife-—moulds, yeasts and _ bacteria Canning preserves food by destroy ng these and then by excludinz them. Their destruction is brought bout by subjecting the products and -ontainers for a certain period to t igh temperature (at least 212 deg “ahr.) and their exclusion is achiev- -d by hermetically sealing the con- ainers immediately after steriliza- ion. If the stertlizing and sealin: | lave been properly doue, the foods | should keep in good condition fo) wonths or even years. Steps in the Canning Process. H 1. Frepare the canning utensils ind jars. Have everything thor sughly clean and see that the tops -£ the jars fit properly. 2. Wash the fruits or vegetables carefully. 3. Blanch the product by puttin; t into a cheescloth and by dipping | n boiling water till the skins are ‘oosened. This step may be dis pensed with for berries and _ soft -ruits. 4. Immediately after blanching lunge the product into cold water 5. Pack the fruit or vegetable: | nto the jars, which should be clear and hot. 6. Add hot water and salt season- ing to the vegetables or hot syrup to he fruits till the jars are full. 7. Put on the tops, but do not seal tightly. 8. Sterilize. This may be done ir an ordinary wash-boiler provideu with a false bottom, which should ed with rims and ‘to serve as a tray fo1 removing the jars. The boiler should de filled with water about half-way) ip the sides of the jars and the cove: of the boiler should be tightly shu: o retain the steam. The time ot sterilization should be counted fron whe time the water begins to boi octively and it should be kept on the ump till the process is finished. The veriods for various food products art i3 follows: Strawberries, 8 minutes ‘eaches, 17 minutes; other sof: ‘ruits, 20 minutes; tomatoes, 30 min 1@8; greens, beets and carrots, 1% tours; peas, beans an dcorn, 3 hours 9. Seal tightly immediately afte: emoval from the sterilizing bath nvert to test for leas. If a leak k liscovered sterilization: should be re seated, though not necessarily for the same length of time. Trouble may ve saved by making sure that jars are ight before using. 10. Protect the products fron ight by wrapping the jars in thick yrewn paner. Label and date.

Director of Elementary Agricultural Education ) In the June number of the Gazette Mr Jottn Dearness, tn his most time tv article on “Agriculture as Educa tion,’ points out some of the dangert ind also some of the errors attend ant upon the introducticn of agricul ture in the schools been The case has no Agricultural in struction can hardly be said to have more than begun in the schools ot Canada and already one sees evi dences of mischief and = imp#nd:nt failure, chiefly, we thing, through <¢ lack of understanding combined wit! the misdirected enthusiasm of sone of its strongest supporters. What we seem to need and need badly i a philosophy of agricultural educa ion. Education in agriculture i comparatively easy of understanding. ‘Let us have agriculture taught is ‘ur schools,’’ is the slozan, am nany who know more about agricul ure than abcut the true function o schools are leading rashly and blind y on. In too many cases they mi> ake the means for the end. The \ave not grasped the important fac hat in the public schools, at ieas here is one thing more importan han education in agriculture am hat is education hrough agriculture At various times during the las ialf century attempts have bee nade to introduce the study of agri culture in the public schools of Car ida. The supposition was that agri ‘ulture was something that childre: vould do well to know about, hence: ‘t mever got beyond the stage of goc: ind useful information, dispense ‘rom text-books with a certal amount of doubtful exposition throw) n. Indeed, the instructions issue o teachers in Ontario in 1896 rela ive to the teaching of agriculure i. dublic schools, specifically stated tha he teaching of this subject was tc 19 “by conversation ‘baly.” Cc :ourse Ontario and the other provin ‘es have got well beyond that stag: ‘n the teaching of agriculture, bu here is a grave danger of our mak ‘hg another mistake and that is wha Mr. Dearness has taken occasion tc point out. The whole question Is toc serious a overstated. Dassed over. There is a right wa- ind we may be sure that it is based ipon sound pedagogic principles. How many teachers of agriculture sver stop to consider the great ques ion of the evolution of interest ir ‘Hildren? “If it is a good thing tc ‘now, then the sooner they Isarn i: he better,’ seems to be the theory »f some agricultural instructors. Bu! his {s wrong in principite and can lever be permanently successful For example, the scientific feeding o1 10g8 is a fine study and the economk sroduction of pork is a splendic achievement, but it properly belong o oung men and not to Httle boye ind girls of junior or intermediate srade.
