Home canning time — have canners checked c

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN The home canning season will be here before you know it So now’s the time to check your steam pressure canner to be sure it’s in good working order Replace worn or inaccurate parts before the canner is used. If it has been in storage for several years or was purchased second-hand, it is a good idea to replace the gauge, gasket, and safety plug Before cheeking the canner. revipw the directions. If they have been lost, write the canner manufacturer for a new set. In the request, be sure to include the model number and any identification found on the canner. If the model number is not available, describe the canner and give its approximate age Canners with dial pressure gauges should have the gauge checked for accuracy before use. This can be done for a small fee by bringing the canner lid to the extension office. Clean 1 petcocks, vents and safety valve openings by draw ing a string or narrow strip of cloth through them Do this again during the canning season and before storing for winter.

the gasket. This rubber or rub-ber-like rim keeps steam from leaking around the cover. If it is worn, stretched or hardened, replace the gasket with a new one These can be purchased at hardware stores or household appliance centers or ordered from the manufacturer. - When you think the canner is ready to use. it is a good idea to try it before the canning season begins. Put an inch or two of water into the canner - not less than a quart - and bring the pressure to about 10 pounds. Check all vents to make sure they are not clogged with food and mineral deposits. Check the seal and see that everything is operating properly. Check the canner now and you will still have time to correct problems or get a new Cartner before the canning season begins.

Old papers can T make pots for transplanting Here’s an idea that might help gardners! Papers are a valuable source of potting material. It’s easy to make pots for starting plants indoors from papers — papers that have already been read cover-to-cover, of course. The paper pots, like peat pots available commercially, can be set right into the garden at transplanting time The roots will grow through the paper and the pots will rot away eventually. Instructions follow. • Cut three layers of newspaper nine inches square Fold the stack in thirds, like a letter and then unfold. Then, fold the stack in thirds in the other direction. Unfold again. The nineinch square will now have fold lines dividing it into nine small squares. • Make a diagonal cut from each corner of the big square, through the small square on each corner. Then, fold up the square on the fold lines and overlap the corners. Staple each side. A nine-inch square will produce a pot three inches square. Gardeners easily can vary the pot size by starting with a smaller or larger square.
