top jars by removing from jars and
tightening or loosening them by bend-

" With everything in readiness, you
are now ready to can the peaches.
Select peaches which are ripe but not:
‘soft. Before preparing fruit, make thin
syrup, or richer if desired, allowing
one cup for each quart jar. Add one
cracked peach pit for each quart of
syrup, boil five minutes and strain.
Immerse peaches about one minute
in boiling water or until skins will
slip easily, plunge at once into cold
water, peel and stone. Pack in jars
at once, placing the halves in over-
lapping layers, concave sides down
with blossom end facing glass. Fill
containers with syrup. Process quart’
jars for 10 minutes at 5 Ibs. pressure,
pint jars for 6 minutes. Process No. 2

MATIONAL CANNING CONTEST
To ward off a threatened surplus of farm
products in many sections and to impress
more housewives with the economy and
healthfulness of home canned foods, a Na-
tional Canning Contest is now under way
to find the best jar of canned fruit, vege-
tables and meat in the country. Two hun-
dred and twenty-two cash prizes totalling
$5,825 have been hung up by the Sears-
Rcebuck Agricultural Foundation, including
a grand sweepstakes prize of $1,250 for
the best jar of canned food entered in the
contest. Any woman or girl is eligible to
enter the contest, but entries must be in not
later than October 1, 1929. Furthgr informa-
tion on the contest and free jar and entry

leave stems on. Cook from 5 to 10

the hot syrup as the layers are built
up. Process 8 minutes at 5 1bs. pres-
sure.
Many people think the pear is rath-
er bland in flavor so they add addi-
tional flavor, as lemon or ginger, to
the syrup. Then add a slice of lemon
or a‘'small piece of ginger root when
packing the jar.
The Kieffer, the Pineapple and the
Le Conte pears are desirable for can-
ning.
When canning a larger quantity of
pears, they are apt to turn brown very
rapidly when exposed to air. This can
be avoided by placing the fruit in a
dilute salt brine (2 tablespoons salt
to 1 gallon water). A good, medium
syrup for pears is made by boiling to-
gether one quart of sugar with two
quarts of water.
If pears ‘are canned in tin plunge
immediately inte cold water and cool
as quickly as possible, otherwise:
fruit may turn pink in color.

Deer Plentiful
In Forests Of
.
. Pennsylvania
Not Many Years ‘Ago There Were
Few To Be Found Anywhere In the
State.
Outstanding among Pennsylvania's
game animals ever since the inception
of the Game Commission's work in
1896 has been the whitetailed deer.
This nimble-footed creature has be-
come so abundant during recent years
that Pennsylvania now holds an en-
viable position toward the forefront
among big game states of the Union.
The latter history of Pennsylvania's
deer herd is interesting. Having put
a stop to market hunting, having out-
lawed the hunting of deer with dogs
and the shooting of deer at salt-licks,
and having enacted the famous “Buck
Law” of 1907, the Board witnessed,
within a brief span of years, the re-
turn of this animal to its ancestral
range.
Deer had become so rare in Penn-
sylvania that it was necessary to re-
stock with animals from other states,
and a total of about 700 deer was
brought in from Michigan, Maine, Ver-
mont, North Carolina, Virginia, and
‘Ohio. The bringing in ot fhese ani-
mals did not of itself. save our deer
herd, ‘but it gave us a more extensive
breeding stock and also infused our
herd with new blood. Most of these
introduced animals were from Michi-
gan where the whitetailed deer is
larger, hardier, and grayer in color
than the form found in the southern
part of our State and to the south-
ward.
When the Board noticed that the
deer kiil was gradually increasing from
vear to year, they determined to pro-
tect as many of the animals as they
could. The deer season in 1907 ex-
tended from November 15 to December
1; and from 1907 to 1909 legal deer
were those with visible antlers. In
1909, the wording of the law was
changed somewhat and legal deer were
characterized as those with horns vis-
ible above the hair. In 1913, the seas-
on was declared from November 15 to
25, andthe law protected all deer save
males with horns two inches above
the hair.
Since 1915, the legal deer season hag
been from December 1 to 15, it being
believed that the breeding season
among thedanimals is well over before
the first of December. In 1921, the
regular deer season was the same as
previously, but all deer were protect-
ed save males with antlers four
inches above the skull. In 1923, legal
deer were males with antlers six inches
or more in length, and from 1925 to
1928, only male deer having two points
to the antler were considered legal.
In spite of the fact that through this
restricting of killingto bucks of a cer-
tain group, .a larger portion of the
deer herd received protection, never-
theless the kill of bucks constantly
increased. The total kill in 1907 was
not very large, not over 300 animals
being taken. In 1914, only seven years
later, 1,102 bucks were taken. In
1927, a totalof 1,725 animals was tak-
en; in 1920, 3,300; in 1924, 7,778, and
so on, the kill during latter years vir-
tually doubling itself each biennium.
Since bucks were legal, the board were
interested chiefly in.producing a large
buck population and in popularizing
buck hunting. Comparatively little
attention was paid to the does because
they were obviously holding their own
and producing gratifyingly large num-
bers of fawns. When, about 1920, the
Board began to hear rumors of consid-
erable damage to crops and orchards,
however, they suddenly realized that

the deer herd, the doe herd in particu-
lar, was reaching vast proportions.
Some authorities assert that the
average life of a deer in a relatively
ideal habitat is twenty years. By some
students it is believed that a doe wilt
produce fawns each year for about
sixteen years of her life. ‘If we re-
member, therefore, that by 1920 a
large proportion of the does protected
for the first time in 1907 were still
alive, and with them their progeny
which had for several years been pro-
ducing its own offspring, a little arith-
metical computation will give us some
idea as to the possible size of the doe
herd. Does, as a rule, bring forth
two young each year, one of which is

is capable of bringing forth two young.
: Obviously, protection of the does and
killing of only a certain portion of the
buck population meant the saving of a
large proportion of the deer herd each
year. :
As the animals became more abun-
dant, they were forced to extend their
range; their food supply became scant,
through proximity to highways and
towns they became semi-domesticated;
and by degrees the deer damage prob-
len became an oppressing one. At
about the time that Pennsylvania's re-
markable buck Kill was receiving na-
tion-wide notoriety, trouble as a re-
sult of deer damage was beginning to
develop withint our own boundaries,
How quickly the problem of saving
the deer herd changtd to that of ade-
