By turning on the current and tup- ping lightly on the side of tho globe you can often make the broken wires vibrate enough to touch one another and become welded together again. to any great extent. Some fruits dry very well. No woman can be excused for wasting apples when they are so easily dried Extra peaches, pears, and plums may also be preserved by this method. In general, canning is most desir- able for tomatoes, eggplant, cauli- flower, rhubarb, grapes, berries, and the other fruits. Each housewtfe will have to decide for herself what she is going to do about string beans, lima beans, peas, and asparagus. Certainly they should not be wasted. The open-kettlo method of canning should b« used only for tomatoes and fruits. The cold-pack method can be used for all fruits and for most vege- tables, provided enough time is given to processing. The water bath, using the wash boiler with the false bottom, is the most convenient method for the cold- pack, except the pressure canner, but in an emergency tho oven may well be made use of by placing the cans on a board bottom in the oven and keeping the heat very moderate during the time of cooking. The cold pack can easily be done with the flreless cooker by following these steps: Partially cook product Or pack cold into clean jars; fill jars with syrup or with brine and other in- gredients; park into flreless cooker kettle and cover with boiling water; place cover on kettles and lock cooker.
