Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 167, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 July 1918 — Cleanliness in Canning. [ARTICLE]

Cleanliness in Canning.

The first essential for complete sterilization with the use of either the hot-water canner or the steam-pressure outfit, says the United States department of agriculture, Is absolute cleanliness In surroundings and In all utensils used in canning. Tables should be well cleaned and may be covered with white oilcloth. Garbage cans must be provided to bold peelings and other refuse. To allow these to fall upon the ground to decay near the place of canning will result in production of spores which will rise in dust and infect the material being canned.
