no attempt should be made to dry
those crops which keep well in ordin-
ary storage, unless through drying the
crop can be marketed to better ad-
vantage. In all eases an attempt
should be made to secure a first-class
product from each kind of produce
handled. This- means that only pro-
duce of good quality should be used.
Cull fruits or vegetables give a cull
product—that is, one of inferior qual-
ity. All produce should be thorough-
ly and carefully prepared.
Temperature best suited for drying
varies between 110 deg. and 170 deg.
F. In the commercial drying plants,
produce is ordinarily entered at the
end of the drier where the temper-
ature is lowest, preferably 110 deg. to
180 deg. F. •Trays entered here are
shifted gradually toward a higher
temperature (toward the steam coils)
as drying progresses, and the produce
is finished off and removed at 'a temp-
erature of 150 deg. to 170 deg. le
In the drying of produce over the
kitchen range, an attempt should be
made to duplicate this temperature.

available, special effort must be made
to secure uniform 'slices, preferably
three -sixteenths of an inch in thick-
ness. After slicing, the prepared
fruits- should be placed •in a four per
cent. salt solution for fifteen minutes.
Then rinse, spread one-half inch thick

sible at a temperature of 110 deg. to

Beans—Beans for drying should be
young, tender, and uniform in size.
After being washed and snipped, they
should be cut crosswise into one-half
inch lengths, or run through •a rotary
slicer, blanched for three minutes in
boiling water, cold -dipped and dried

to eight minutes in boiling water, cut
and scraped •from the cob and dried
in layers from one-half to three-
fourths inch deep at a temperature
of 110 deg. to 140 • deg. F. An oc-
casional stirring of the corn on the
trays tends to shortefu the , drying
period.
All products should be dried enough
to prevent them from spoiling when
held under ordinary storage. Dried
or dehydrated apples carry approxi-
mately twenty-five per cent.;,moisture.
However, a product which has less
moisture will keep to better advan-
tage. When 'thoroughly dried,. the
slices of apples or vegetables should
approach a brittle stage. In general,
the quality of the product is not affect-
ed by more thorough drying, provided
it is not allowed to scorch during the
drying process.
• Many vegetables which adapt them-
selves for use in the form of vegetable
meals, such as pumpkins, tomatoes
and peas, may be dried to a brittle
stage and ground immediately through
a hand grist -mill. The meal may be
stored, until needed for use, in paper
cartons with close -fitting covers.
A home-made cook stove drier that
can be used on a wood-er coal range
or a kerosene stove can be made easily
and cheaply. Dimensions: Base, 24
x 16 inches; height, thirty-six inches.
A base six 'inches high is made of
galvanized sheet iron. This base
slightly flares toward the bottom'and
has two small circular openings for
ventilation iii each. of the four sides.
On; the base rests a box -like frame
made of strips of wood one or one
and one-half inches wide. The two
sides are braced with one and one-
quarter inch strips which serve as
cleats on which the trays in the drier
rest. These are placed three inches
The frame is covered with tin or
galvanized sheet iron, tacked to the
wooden strips of the frame. Thin
strips of wood may be used instead
of tin or sheet iron. The door is
;fitted on small Mages and fastened
with a thumb -latch. It opens wide so
that the trays tan be removed easily.
The bottom of the drier is made of
a piece of perforated galvanized sliest
iron. Two inches above the bottom is
placed a solid sheet of galvanized iron
which is three inches less in length
and width than the bottom. This
sheet rests on. two wires fastened to
the sides of the drier. This prevents
the direct heat from coming in con-
tact with the product and serves as a
radiator to spread the heat more
evenly. The first tray is placed three
inches .above the radiator. The trays
rest on the cleats three inches apart.

grimy digits.
With much hoaxing,* we induced him
to describe them, and it was not..cliili-
cult to understand- that our missing
animals had been corralled by the red,
men.. Baker • tore off hotly with the
young Indian, breathing revenge, and
intending to teach the red man a lea
son for daring to round up his beasts,
But he came back looking uncertain.
"The sons of guns say my plugs

"Well, go and get them out," ad.
vised Sam.
"Baren't! The rascals Won't let
them go for less than fifty dollars.
They say they did that amount of dam-
age to the crops."
One of the offended Indiauts soon
came up, bat he was proof against
cajolery. "Whi'e man's horses eat and

"Me corn' Hazleton sure. See In-

Baker argued with the Indian, vain-

The dispute lasted two hours, and in
the end the Indian reduced his claim •'
for damages to ten dollars. Baker
promptly paid, and soon came back

"No! What's the use?"
"They skinned you clean. It's a

We heard afterwards that Sam's
surmise was correct. The damage
was imaginary; the Indians had found
the horses browsing quietly in the
