Make It Easier 

 For Them 



SPARE the horses. ]\Iica Axle Grease 

 makes easier pulling. It gives a 

 smoother bearing than ordinary 

 grease, because it contains powdered 

 mica — blended with the grease by a 

 special process. The mica keeps the 

 spindle smooth, resists wear and press- 

 ure, and makes the grease last twice as long.

cut to fit into the bottom of the vessel 

 used. If an oil or gasoline stove is 

 available, increase the comfort of the 

 operator by moving the entire outfit 

 into a shady spot outside the house. 

 Place the can of boiling water contain- 

 ing jars, covers and utensils on the 

 stove and keep hot. Put the false bot- 

 tom in place in the washboiler, fdl the 

 boiler about one-fourth full of warm 

 (not hot) water, and you arc ready to 

 begin work. 



Transfer a jar from the boiling water 

 to the washboiler, fill it immediately 

 with cold, raw fruit, packing it down 

 firndy. Add enough cold water to fill 

 the jar within one-half innch of top, 

 using a knife or spoon to displace air 

 bubbles. Take a rubber from the boil- 

 ing water and lit it on, then set the 

 cover loosely in place. Continue the 

 process until the boiler is filled with 

 jars. Now fill the boiler with cold 

 water to within one and one-half inches 

 of the tops of the jars, fit the boiler 

 cover tightly on, place the boiler on the 

 stove and heat to boiling. In the case 

 of quart jars, the following time table 

 may be used as a guide: For straw- 

 berries, blackberries, loganberries, red 

 or black raspberires, continue boiling 

 vigorously 8 to 12 minutes. For acid 

 fruit such as cherries, currants or 

 gooseberries, boil vigorously for 5 to 8 

 minutes. For apples, peaches or pears, 

 boil vigorously for 20 to 35 minutes, the 

 time depending upon the variety and 

 degree of ripeness of the fruit. Per- 

 sons working at an altitude greater 

 than 2,500 feet will find it necessary to 

 increase the times here suggested by 

 about one-fourth. When the fruit has 

 boiled for the specified time, remove 

 the jars from the boiler and imme- 

 diately screw the covers tightly on. 

 Wipe dry and place on a shelf out of 

 drafts to cool, inverting the jars in 

 order that leaks may be detected at 

 once. 



The open-kettle method differs from 

 Ihe cold-i)ack method in that the fruit is 

 place in a porcelain lined or other suit- 

 able vessel with enough cold water to 

 cover it and cooked for the necessary
