ready to use it I put it all into glass jars, 
even the cut designed for present use; 
put the jars into the canner. get up the 
needed pi’essure, and it is done long be¬ 
fore the open kettle or roasting method 
would prepare it. and I have several other 
meals provided for as well. 
Or.D Mktiiods.— It is such a relief not 
to go through with this i>roeess by the 
older method, using a hot-water outfit, 
with a wash boiler, tin bucket or any 
other container for a cooker, jirovided it 
can be covered very tightly. To be sure 
meats can be put up successfully this 
way, and by using the cold j)ack, too. I 
have done it many a time. But it takes 
to four hours of steady, lively boil¬ 
ing. and is much more tedious on the op¬ 
erator. as fewer cans can be processed at 
a time, and the boiler takes all the best 
part of the range, while the modern can¬ 
ner covers but one griddle. I would ad¬ 
vise purchasing such a canner in part¬ 
nership with one or more neighbors, mak¬ 
ing the expense very slight. I .share mine 
Avith a neighboi’. and we never need to 
use it at the same time. 
The following recipes are useful at can¬ 
ning time: 
R.akkd Rtt'ffku ITe.art. —Steam a beef 
heart half an hour after soaking in salt 
Avater and removing the tough membranes 
of the center. Stuff with a bread dress¬ 
ing made of tA\’o cups bread crumbs, one 
finely minced onion, one teaspoonful of 
celery salt or sage, as preferred. Salt 
and pepper to taste, and enough hot milk 
or stock to moisten. Wrap the heart in 
long strii)s of thinly sliced bacon, or salt 
pork, tying the strips on with tAvini‘. and 
put into a casserole or baking pan. If 
the bitter, cover it Avith a basin or a 
greased jiaper for half an hour, then un¬ 
cover and brOAvn. Baste several times 
with melted butter and hot Avater. Re¬ 
move the tAvine, place the heart and bacon 
on a hot platter and slice Avhile hot. ^lake 
a broAvn gravy in the bottom of the pan,

—riean. skin and slice a beef or pork 
tongue. BroAvn slightly in hot fat. season 
Avith salt and pejiiiei-. Beinove the .slices, 
add two tablespoonfuls of flour to an equal 
amount of the hot fat and broAvn. Then 
add 14 cup tomatoes and 1^4 cups of 
boiling Avater. ,Stir until smooth, add 
salt and cayenne to taste, and strain 
through a coarse sieA-e. .\dd the tongue 
and simmer 20 minutes sloAvly. Then 
melt 'three table.spoonfuls of mmit drip¬ 
pings or butter and in it fry small sipiares 
of toast dipped in milk or beaten egg. 
Have ready a border of mashed potato on 
a hot platter, adding a beaten egg to the 
usual potato, mashed, and sea.soned Avith 
salt, pepper, butter and milk. In the hol- 
loAV center of the bordei- of potatoes pile 
alternate slices of the toast and tongue, 
and around the base pour the gravy. Set 
in the oven a moment to insure its being 
thoroughly heated, and serve.

Things Worth Knowing 
Old-fashioned housekeepers say that 
the dough for cookies or gingerbread is 
mill'll more easily handled, rolled and 
stamped the day after it is made than 
on the same day. In cool Aveather it 
should be set AA-here it Avill not become 
hard. A professional cook teaches her 
class in pastry-making to cut the circle 
of pie crusts one Aiay around and the 
rim that surrounds the dish the other 
Avay. She says that this simple rule 
has an important bearing upon the 
rtakiness of the result. 
To make coffee that cannot be beaten; 
put the ground coffee in the coff’ee pot 
and shake it about on the range till thor¬ 
oughly heated, then pour on boiling 
Avater. In this AA'ay the heated ground 
Coffee imparts to the fluid an extra 
pungency of flavor and richness. 
(’an rubbers, such as are used on fruit 
cans, often become hard and brittle. 
They can be restored by letting them lie 
in water in Avhich you have put a lit¬ 
tle ammonia. Mix in this proportion, 
one part ammonia and tAvo parts Avatev. 
J^et lie 10 minutes; .sometimes a half 
hour is needed to restore elasticity.

Canadian Farmers 
Profit From Wheat 
The war’s devastation of European 
crops has caused an unusual demand 
for grain from the American Con¬ 
tinent. The people of the Avorld must be 
fed and wheat near $2 a bushel offers great 
profitstothefarmer. Canada’s invitation 
is therefore especially attractive. She 
wants settlers to makemoney andhappy, 
prosperous homes for themselves by 
helping her raise immense Avheat crops. 
can get a Homestead of 160 acres FREE 
and other lands at remarkably Ioav prices. During many 
years Canadian wheat fields have averaged 20 bushels to 
the acre—many yields as high as 45 bushels to acre. 
Wonderful crops also of Oats, Barley and Flax. 
Mixed farming as profitable an industry as grain rais¬ 
ing. The excellent grasses full of nutrition are the only 
food required for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools, 
churches, markets convenient, climate excellent.
