Unfermented 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-
fccts SO far found in unfermented
juice is that much Of 1t is not clear,
condition which very much detracts
from its otherwise attractive appear
ance and due to two causes. Either
the final sterilization in bottles has
been at n higher tempera ture than the
preceding one or the Juice has not been
properly filtered or has not been filter
ed at all. In other cases the juice has
been sterilized at such high tempera-
ture that it has disagreeable scorched
taste. 1t should be remembered that
attempts to sterilize at temperature
above 1876 degrees f. are dangerous, so
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 1t is used after
the bottles are opened. Unfermented
grape juice properly made and bottled
will keep indefinitely If 1t is not ex-
posed to the atmosphere or mold
germs. But when bottle is once
opened 1t should, like canned goods,
be used as soon as possible to keep 1t
from spoiling.-G. G. Husmans.

The grain ration was begun with four

The grain was increased very grad

The cattle arrived in Kansas City on
June 2G for slaughter. The packers
found the carcasses of the enSilage lot
(two-year olds) of good quality. They
were covered with the right amount of
fat, the loins We're excellent, and the
carcasses showed very little waste and
were salable in any market.
The carcasses of the Kaftir corn lot
looked like grass cattle. They were
fairly well iieshed, but not well cover
ed with fat. They were considered
only an ordinary bunch of cattle
The best animal us to quality is not
always the best gamer. With one ex-
ception the highest market price was
placed by Armour X Co. on the choice
animals. In this test the profit for the
feeder is. with one exception, consid-

for the choice animal. 1t should be
noted, however, that the best gamers
were also of excellent quality and
