CANNING DEMONSTRATION A SUCCESS.

The demonstration in Canning Chicken held at Mrs. J. H. Smith’s in Simcoe, January 21st, under the direction of Miss Isadora Williams of Auburn, was quite a success inspite of the extreme cold weather which prevented leaders from three Clubs being present. Twelve women were present to observe and take part in canning the twelve young hens furnished by Mrs. Smith. The following products were made: 6 quarts canned chicken with bone, 3 pints without bone, 7 pints and 18 one-half pints of soup mixture containing ground chicken, rice and celery, and one-half pint each of chicken livers and gizzards. Chicken broth and fat are also useful products of these cannings.
