Unfe2mented Grape Juice.

Any person familiar with the process
of canning fruit can also preserve
grape juice. for the principles involved
are identical One of the leading de-
fects so far found in unfermented
juice is that much of it is not clear, a
condition which very much detracts
from its otherwise attractive appear
ance and due to two causes. Either
the final sterilization in bottles has
been ut Il higher temperature than the
preceding one or the juice has not been
properly filtered or has not been filter
ed ut ALL In other cases the juice has
been steriliZed at such a high tempera
ture that it has a disagreeable scorched
taste. 1t should be remembered that
attempts TO sterilize mt Il temperature
above 1875 degrees Z. are dangerous 50
far as the flavor of the finished prod
uct is concerned.
Another serious mistake is some
times made by putting the juice into
bottles so large that much of it be-
comes spoiled before it is used after
the bottles are opened. .Unfermented
grape juice properly made and bottled
will keep indefinitely If it is not ex-
posed to the atmosphere or mold
germs. But when bottle is once
opened it should. like canned goods,
be used as soon as possible to keep it
from spelling &c. G. Husmans.

ICE STORAGE.
a. serviccabfe and Durable House
That Largely Prevents Waste.


Looking forward to winter work, Il.
L. lilies gives a seasonable article in
Orange Judd Farmer on securing a
farm supply of ice. He says
Select Site Convenient to the point
where the ice will be used. 4 slight
elevation on dry, sandy or grayelly soil
is best for drainage. X house 30 by $50
by T. feet inside will hold 1000 tons of
ice, each foot in length of the house
representing seven tons storage capac-
ity. \ house 16 by 30 by II feet will
store 100 tons, each foot in length rep
resenting a little more than three tons
storage capacity. The construction of
either size or an intermediate one will
follow the same general lines of CON
struction.
For a LOCO ton house level off the
site and lay down mud stills 4 by s

gether to break joints. Drive in stakes
on both sides, about ten feet apart, to
hold the sills i'll place. The studding

thirty inch centers; plate, ? by S inches.
Board up inside and out with / by 10
inch boards. surfaced on one side and
two edges to make close joints. 1t will
cost a little more for lumber all one

In the latitude of Chicago two ply

to keep dampness out of the walls and
prevent air circulation. South of Chi

quired to increase the insulation If
paper lining is omitted the walls be-
come damp and rot out rapidly. Fill

with waterproof Whitewash or cold
water white paint. This will reflect
the suns rays and lessen waste by
meltage and reduce danger from fire,
the lime wash preventing the wood
from readily igniting.
Such a house kept in good repair will
be seryiceable for twenty years and
will preserve ice with little waste if

A Wise Plan.

Two young men and one young wo-
man. members of the grange in New
York state. will enjoy the benefits of
the grange scholarships at Cornell uni
versity this year. The winners OF
these prizes are c. b. Tilson of Maple
Grove. \. Y: Gilbert Prole of Batavia,
n. Y, and Edith Wilson of Moravia,
n. Y The value Of the scholarships
is 500 each. The grange is doing a
good work in offering these scholar
ships. They are awarded to young
members of the grange on competitive
examinations, held in each county
where applicants reside. The Order can
do no better than to help deserving
young men and women to an agricul-
tural education

National Grange Meeting.

1t was finally decided some weeks
ago that the national grange should
meet at Portland, Ore. The business
men of that city subscribed $500 as
an entertainment fund Perhaps it
would be more accurate to say that
the executive committee of the nation
al grange required that the Oregon and
Washington oranges should furnish
1000 candidates to take the seventh
degree which. at 81 each as the initia-
ton fee. would be $4,000. Should they
furnish this number then probably the
amount advanced by the business men
would be returned to them. The dele
gates from the east to Portland will
meet at the st. Louis exposition and
go on from there Nov. II in special
cars. 1t is expected that the session
of this national grange will do much
to inspire new zeal among members of
the Order on the Pacific coast.

LEGISLATION FOR FARMERS
s'Ehe Farmers Legislative Body In
the Vermont Legislature.

"Ehe Farmers Legislative Body In
the Vermont Legislature.
At the 1902 session of the Vermont
legislature there was organized what
Is known as the Farmers Legislative
body There were that year 246 menu
bers of the legislature who were farm
ers. and $50 of them were enrolled in
this organization. The purpose is to
guard the farmers interests and block
legislation that is undesirable. 1t has
succeeded admirably thus far. Among
the desirable reforms accomplished
through the efforts Of this legislative
body is one whereby the amount al
lowed by the state to farmers for cat
tie killed on account of tuberculosis is
increased from so to so per cent of
their value Several bills that had for
their object the securing of heavy
sums from the state treasury were
practically killed by this body before
being introduced into the legislature.
Regular meetings are held every week
during the legislative season, and all
bills of special interest to farmers are
discussed and plans laid for united, in
telligent action. There is no partisan
ship in this organization, and no I'M
worthy motives influence it. The or
ganization is permanent one and will
meet at the forthcoming session of the
legislature and pursue its labors as
usual It is expected that many new
farmer members will be enrolled this
year.
The committee on legislation has out
lined certain measures as a basis of
work for the organization. among
which are these:
All mortgaged property to be ex-
enpt from taxation to the extent that
the mortgage is taxed within this state.
No exemption from taxation to be al
lowed on account of debts owed with
out this state AS to roads, 100000
per annum to be appropriated from
the state treasury for permanent high
ways in addition to the present high
way tax
a liberal appropriation for 4 perma-
nent well appointed dairy school. Non
residents to pay annual license tax of
$40 to state fund for paying actual
damage done by deer to cultivated
crops. Excess of $1,000 to go to state
highway fund.
All automobiles to be plainly num-
bered and registered with the secreta-
ry of state and their use restricted to
certain roads With regard to increas-
ed revenues. 100000 per annum to
be raised by increase of tax on rail
roads transportation, sleeping car and
telephone companies

well managed. Built of helnlock lum-
Der, a 1000 ton house can be erected
for about $3.50 in northern Illinois
This quantity Of ice will supply the or
binary needs of POO families for ice
boxes, 1efrigerators, ice cream, etc, al
lowing delivery of hundred pounds
twice weekly to each family. with Il
surplus for waste and extra require
ments, during thirty-one weeks. The
ice itself stored in the house may cost
from 80 cents a ton up, according to
local conditions 4 cash capital of
$4,000 would be needed to carry on
such an enterprise.
One hundred, tons of ice will serve a
large dairy farm or milk shipper, sup
plying ice for family use as well, al
lowing the consumption Of 800 pounds
of ice daily for 245 days. The cost of
the 100 ton house will approximate
$500 and the ice from so cents a ton up
when stored in the icehouse. Always

THERE will be no trouble for the
Democrats to find plenty OF material
for a platform this year and still 90
back to the Jeffersonian idea of gov
eminent wi bout being ont of date.
Economy in the expenditure of the
public money. is an old principle that
might might well be applied to the
present dav extravaganza and reckless
distribution Of the coUntrv's money to
a favored clique of grafters and
boodlers. Equal and exact justice to
an men, is q JefTersonian maxim that
is sadly lacking in the Republican adj
minis-ration, when a high preferential
tariff allow. the manufacturers Of this
country b. sell their products cheaper
in Europe than at home. The peasant
of Europe can buy a pair Of American
made shoes cheaper than the laborer
can buy them. The farmer in South
America can buy the implements OF
his trade, that are made in this coun-
try, cheaper than we can buy them.
The American manufacturer has
shown his ability to cope with the
manufacturers of the world in a
foreign market, yet the ''infaut in
dustry" must be protected at home,
according to the Republican idea.
The real reason for such a protection
is that they may be allowed to place
their hands in the pockets of the
American people, and by combination
among themselves. demand any price
for their output they see fit, limited
only by their cuPidity and daring -
