THE UNIVERSAI CA» It’s no longer necessary to go into the details describing the practical merits of the Ford car everybody knows all about “The Universal Car.” How it goes and comes day after day and year after year at an operating expense so small that it’s wonderful. This advertisement is to urge prospective buyers to place orders without delay as the war has produced conditions which may interfere with normal production. Buy a Ford car when you can get one. We’ll take good care of your order—get your Ford to you sobp as possible —and give the best in “after-service” when required. --- D CENTRAL GARAGE CO. Phone 319. Rensselaer, Ind.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. Salting And Brining. “With the great need of conservation of every bit of food material, especially the perishables, this year, in order that our soldiers and sailors primarily, and our citizens secondarily may have sufficient food to carry them through the winter, every means of conservation must be utilized to its greatest possibility,” says Miss Grace Frysenger. “Housekeepers have utilized canning - and drying methods of conservation with the result that last 850,000,000 cans of food material and untold quantities of died material were saved from our 6,000,000 way garden. Salting and brining, however, were methods but little utilized. These method were used by our grandmothers- to a very great extent, but with the improved methods of canning and the supply Of fresh vegetables in our winter markets, salting and brining almost entirely disappeared as a home method of preservation. y >

“The advantage of salting and brining are numerous. Large quanitities may be taken care of in a minimum amount of time. At a time when containers, particularly jars, are difficult to acquire, this method is important as jars which have been nicked and are unsuitable for canning, crocks which may be resurrected from the storage -room and enamel buckets may be utilized. “All utensils and containers which are tp be used for *he work should be thoroughly scalded. Although food products may be salted raw, if blanched for 5 to 10 minutes and then cold dipped before salting time required for soaking preparatory to serving at the table instead of 12 to 15 hours (as was previously necessary), may be reduced to from two to three hours. “In the preparation of greens including kale, spinach, turnip tops, and other edible greens, which contain large amounts of water, dry salt may be used, as the water in the vegetable is sufficient to form the brine. Use the proportion 1 lb. of salt to 4 lb. vegetables, pack in the container in layers with the salt on the bottom and on the top. Place a scalded cloth over theifood material and* over this a scalded plate or piece of wood and weight the food material beneath the surface of the brine. If ‘wood is used it should not contain pitch. White maple is best for this purpose. The weight should be placed on top of the wood or plate, about a 10 pound weight for a 5 gallon container. This weight should be stone, but should not be sand stone, lime or marble. “After 24 hours if the liquid does not cover the food material add brine to cover using % lb. salt to 1 qt. of brine. Keep the produce at room temperature (about 70 degrees F.), until the bubbling ceases. “This may be tested by striking the side of -the container and seeing if the bubbles rise'to the top. When bubbling ceases, place in a cool storage place. To return for cooking purposes, rinse in several waters, soak about one hour and cook twenty minutes. “For products which do not contain a large amount of water, such as brussel sprouts, beans, peas, dulliflower, blanche for 5 minutes cold dip in a container and pour over them a solution of salt and water in the proportion of 2 lbs. salt to 1 gal. water. Proceed as for the greens. Celery and green peppers may be preserved in the same manner without being blanqhed, but the seeds should be removed from the peppers before being packed. In this way the celery is ready for salad or may be soaked and cooked for creamed celery or for soup, and the peppers which are crisp as when fresh may be soaked and then used for filling with vegetables or meat filling, for stuffing perrens or may be used in salads.

“Another method of preservation is the development of lactic acid by the action of lactic bacteria on the sugar in the vegetables such as cabbage, the prepared food being known as saurgraut. The cabbage should be shredded or sliced, the core removed and packed in layers with salt, in the proportion of % lb. salt to 10 lbs. of cabbage. Place salt in the bottom of the container and some on top of the caJbbage. Cover with the cloth, weight and plate as previously suggested. Keep in a room at room temperature until all rabbling has ceased, (about a week). At the end of this time cover the liquid with melted paraffin or some vegetable oil such as may be used for cooking purposes. If this is not done a film may form over the liquid this contains organisms which destroys the lactic acid and causes the food to spoil. After adding the oil or paraffin, store in a cool place. “By these methods of perservation large amounts of food may be quicky taken care of and conserved which might otherwise be wasted.”

“Our crops committee has approved of two thousand acres of Rosen Rye in this county as free from mixture and suitable for seed,” writes G. L. Metzger, of Goshen. “This rye is yielding on the average of ten bushels per acre more than common rye in our county and it is no less than criminal for any one who puts out rye this fall to use anything but the Rosen variety.” The Better Farming Association is putting on a campaign for a liberal use of this variety in Jasper county this fall. Between 2,500 and 3,000 bushels have already been spoken for. It requires about 5,000 bushels of rye to seed the average usually 1 sown in the county, and the com- Jmittee in charge hopes that those

'Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Porter returned Saturday from a week’s visit with Mj. and Mrs. Bert Brenner at Valparaiso. Charles Fox was shaking hands here Saturday with friends. Charles is employed as a machine helper at the Monon railroad yards at Lafayette. He was on his way home from Compton, 111., where he had been visiting his son, Jesse Fox and family. He reports that Jesse is getting along splendidly and is a bank cashier.

who have not already arranged to use this variety will do so before sowing time, although the variety is new, a reasonable amount of seed is available. It must be distinctly understood that the Better Farming organizations is not urging this rye in the place of wheat. It suggests the growing of wheat on all land suitable to its production and advises rye only on those thousands of acres of lighter land where it is one of the best paying crops and believe that the introduction of the Rosen variety will add thousands of bushels to the yields of these lands.
