PRESERVING FLAVOR.
Some POIntI to he Considered and
Precautions to lie Taken In the
Evaporation of Fruit.

In egaporating fruit TO develop fruit
sugar fruit cells must be kept whole
and for this purpose it is necessary
that the tempera ture should not be too
high at first, as excessive heat bursts
the cells, which prevents the proper
chemical change taking place, says the
Northwest Horticulturist. If circula-
ton is sufficient the heat should be
increased during the curing process.
This will develop fruit sugar while the
moisture is being carried off in the
best possible manner, and the fruit will
be sweeter, heavier and have its nat
ural flavor preserved better than if a
high heat is used at the beginning.
Fruit not properly ripened is insipid
or tasteless. The saccharine ferment
that is necessary in all fruit to change
the different properties into fruit su-
gar has not taken place. Now if this
agent is allowed to continue a certain
length of time ii will carry out the
natural law in ripening up the fruit.
The value of heat, if properly applied,
is TO coagulate albumen, drive out ex-
cess of moisture, to prevent fermen IA
ton. Fruit properly cured is sweet,
heavy, wholesome and will keep longer
than If cooked" by too high heat, es-
pecalIy at the beginning and by hav-
ing Insufficient circulation of air. II
will also sell better aud can be handled
at less expense than by he former inn
proper method. The same principles
in regard to circulation of air and heat
also applies TO Vegetables.

began at 9:40 p. m. in Havana harbor
February 10, 1898.
While the court of inquiry was DELHI
erately proceeding with it's work Pres
ident Mckinley ignored the business in
terests, whose sirens were singing in
the white house. lie knew that there
must be war; and so, on March Z, he
asked the congress for an appropria-
tion of $50, 100000 for the national de-
Tense" On March s the bill was passed
by the house of representatives., and on
March it was passed by the senate
without debate. The people were impa-
tient because it was not until April
that Consul-General Lee was recalled,
and il was not until April 10 that he left
Havana. On the following day, April
II, President Mckinley asked the con-
gress for authority TO intervene in Gu
ba. 1t was not until April 10 that the
congress passed the intervention reso-
buttons.
Still the people were impatient. al
though war was coming on fast enough.
On April 20 an ultimatum was sent to
Spain. On April 81 Spain gave Minister
Woodford his passports. On April %
the blockade Of Cuban ports was pro-
claimed On April % the president
called for 125,000 volunteers On April
25 state of war was declared by con-
gress 10 have existed from April 81, and
on April p Matanzas was bombarded.
Still the people were impatient until
news came that on May / Commodore
Dewey had attacked and completely de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet in the harbor
of Manila, on the Philippine islands.
Then the people began TO feel that a
state of war actually existed and that
the administration at Washington in
tended to prosecute the war with vigor.
But still the cry of ION TO Cuba" was
continued in many sources. No atten-
ton was paid to the cry by the admin
istration, because the president and
others clothed with responsibility as
well as authority determined that there
should be no mistakes made which
could be avoided. Gen. Miles authorized
an interview in which he said: 81 have
never sacrificed the men under my COM
mand, and do not propose to subject
them to any unnecessary risks in the

ROADS ON THE FARM.
Why They should he Improved with
Quite as Much Care as the
Public Highways.

In the consideration of better high
ways it is well to remember that it is
not these alone that assist in promot-
ing the welfare of the farmer. 1t is u
good thing, and very important thing,
for him to have hard, permanent road
to town and to the railroad station;
but, In working to secure this, the farm
er comes to realize how bad are the
roads Cracks or paths would be a bet
ter name) about the farm, over which
he is continually hauling loads.
In his daily work there is manure to
be hauled to the fields, and hay and
other crops to be brought back, over
roads that receive the name by cour-
tesy only, and which often are much
worse than the highways. Paths with
deep ruts, lined with stones, are COM
mon on farms. On them wagons are
strained, aXles sprung and teams
abused and made balky by the execra-
BILE conditions of work. Men are gen
orally more careless about the condi-
ton of the roads on the farms than
about the public roads; but they suffer
from them more constantly, and in the
end to as great an extent as from the
bad condition Of the market roads.
If good highways are profitable to the
farmer, good farm roads are equally so.
To make them permanent, the small
stones gathered from the farm can be
used, after the top soil has been taken
off for use in one of the many ways in
which it can be advantageously EN-
ployed on a farm. The road must then
be arranged so that water will drain
off easily, as nothing is SO injurious to
a road as moisture. A few inches of
gravel spread over the stones will in
sure a good, serviceable highway.-L.

placed on two by four sleepers, the
studs being fastened to the floor tim
bers at the top and to the sleepers at
the bottom. Furring strips laid one
inch apart were nailed 10 each side of
the upright studs, thus forming bins
two feet six inches wide by about eight
feet deep, and the height of the cellar
Two studs formed the seat for the fur
ring to the portable bottoms of the bins,
the bottom being the size of the inside
of the bins. Built in this way, the air
can circulate under, over, behind and
on each side of the roots in each bin.
The illustration shows cellar under
barn or other building, with the
floor of the barn removed to enable the
reader to look down into the cellar
The cut is incomplete in all its parts
for the purpose OF simple detail explain
alton. In very deep cellars, it is advis-
able to use a second bottom or parti-
ton midway in height and lengthwise
of the bins.
A cellar can be fitted for very little
cost per 100 bushels of capacity, and
will last lifetime. The portable bot
toms can be laid one side to clean the
cellar and for preservation. If the cell
lar is properly ventilated, roots can be
hurried into such a cellar, and they will
keep.
To prove the value of the air spacing, 1
remember that one winter the men neg
lected to place the bottom in one of
the bins, and half the roots in it rotted.
This method is efficient, and can be eff
fected at but little cost above one years

you will. the roots do not like light,
must have ventilation. and keep best in

point. Cellars with southern exposures
