Contrary to the general belief that seasoning sometimes acts as a preservative, seasoned sausage definitely did not keep so well as Unseasoned, it was reported by Sleeter Hull, of the college meats division. The seasoned meat changed radically, taking on a distinctly rancid odor and bleaching to a dirty gray color. Meat without seasoning. kept for the same length of time and under identical conditions. retained the characteristic pink and white appearance of fresh pork and had a good fresh pork odor. Fifteen Samples Used Fifteen pairs of samples were used in the experiment. Packed in sealed paper cartons, they were stored in a locker plant for 76 days at the temperature Os 10 above zero. Rancidity of the fat was measured by chemical methods. Although several locker managers throughout the state have recently notified the animal husbandry staff of the inability to keep seasoned pork satisfactorily, the college originally opened the study because a little boy in Illinois couldn't eat seasoned sausage, Prof. Bull said. Allergic to pepper, the little boy asked his mother to put up some unseasoned sausage which could go into cold storage for him. She did, and at the same time made the usual seasoned variety. When the meat was brought out of the freezer storage after about two months, the seasoned sausage was of such inferior quality that the family appealed to the university for help. At the present time some freezer storage plants are making up small packages containing the correct proportions of salt and pepper. When the housewife selects sausage from her locker, the seasoning is included.

ASKS CARE IN PACKING EGGS Extension Leader Lists Rules On Cooling And Packing Os Eggs Poultrymen who produce eggs fdr market shout! observe certain rules in preparing eggs for sale during the- heat of the summer, says E. E. Anderson of the New Mexico Extension Service. Proper cooling of eggs is very important and especially so during the hot weather which we can expect for the next few months. During this season, it becomes necessary to handle the eggs so that they will reach the market in the best condition possible. Elimination of the hen's body heat from the egg should be accomplished as rapidly as possible to prevent the whites of the eggs from becoming, thtn and watery, and the yolks flabby. At a temperature of 60 degrees F., eggs will lose their original body heat in five or six hours if they are in wire baskets or spread out in wire trays where the air can circulate around them. It requires from ten to twelve hours for the eggs to cool if they are placed in a bucket or basket, and twenty-four hours are required to accomplish this result If the eggs are immediately placed in an egg case. For this reason, eggs should be cooled overnight in a wire basket or in a wire bottom tray. Be sure that the eggs for market are packed in cases with clean flats and fillers. Dirty flats and fillers may soil the eggs and soiled eggs will not bring premium prices. Eggs should be cased with the small end down since the air cell which is normally in the large end of the egg may broken in transit if cased with the large end down. If the air cell Is broken, the grade of the egg is lowered. Cases, flats, fillers, and covers should not be too dry when used or they are inclined to absorb some of the moisture from the eggs after they are cased. Too often the packing materials are left exposed to severe drying weather. o ACTIVITIES OF ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS Il • Monmouth Rooters The Monmouth Rooters' 4-H club held their fourth meeting July 7 at the hopre of Heber Feasel.

FARM EARNINGS ARE DIFFERENT Management Plays Im portant Part In Agricultural Profits Farm earnings vary from farn to farm just as the earnings o corporations vary from factory ti factory. The successful farmers ol today are studying their business to keep abreast of the times jusi as the successful factory executiv es are studying their businessei for methods of increasing effleien cy. Farm accounts show that thoss fanners taking time to analyze their business and then to apply the best known practices are being well repaid. Some farmers have been ahle to combine their lands, crops, live stock, machinery, and labor in such a manner that they produce annually fifty per cent more un its of farm products than the average at the same total cost. Grow Adapted Crops They have done this through growing the kind and variety of crops adap’ed to their area, through keeping the class and the quality of livestock adapted to their particular farm, and through handling these both according to the most up to date manner with the most economical equipment. The most economical machinery and equipment has depended on the type and size of farm. Where acreages or days of use were Sufficient, it has been the labor saving equipment such as the combine, corn picker, tractor, and the like. Where acreage or days of use 1 were small. It has been the less expensive older type of equipment. These successful farmers in attaining these results have not overlooked keeping up their physical resources. They usually have had yields ten to thirty per cent above the average of their area, and both livestock and legumes have played an important part in their business. Over a period of years, the most successful farmers in Central Indiana have grown more legumes and corn and less small grain n the average. 805 Wells w’ere Ffiday dinner guests at the home of Glenn Mann and family.

JELLY MAKING POINTS LISTED Short Cooking Time Is Given As Important Item In Jelly Making Os all the kinds of sugar presert vation of fruit, probably the most J exacting is jelly making, states Aneta Beadle, extension nutritionist of Purdue university. , First consideration in making jelly is the selection of fruit. A good fruit for jelly making is high both in pecthi and acid. These two with the added sugar bring about ■ a "jell’ of the juice after heating. The fruit must also have a good flavor. Os all good jelly fruits, currants are probably “tops’. Other good fruits are blackberries, gooseberries, and raspberries. Crabapples ' and grapes come later. Pectin and acid are most abundant in fruit that is slightly underripe. Flavor is best in ripe fruit. For the best results, combine ripe fruit with some that is slightly underripe. One of the fundamental rules in jelly making is "reduce cooking time to a minimum.” Cooking fruit overlong reduces the jellying power of the pectin, destroys fine fruit — — Statement ut Condition of the OHIO FAHMKKS I.WKMMTV COHPANV Leßoy, Ohio I Un tlie 31st Day ut December, 193/ F.

flavor, and often spoils the color. I For this reason use a minimum of I water. Excess water will have to ib<- conked off and that will unm-. cessarlly lengthen cooking time. Use a large, flat bottomed pan In making jelly, as it permits rap- . id cooperation. Combine the sugar with the juice before heating. Stir until the sugar la dissolved, then boil this mixture rapidly, until tho jelly stage Is reached. This test - can be made by dipping a large r spoon Into the boiling syrup ahd lifting so the syrup runs off the ’ side. When the syrup "sheets off” ' or tears, stop the cooking.
