. There has been much said about the

oeen boiled and bott.ed. The agricul-
,ural bulletins tell US that it is unnec-
9ssary to boil grape juice in order to
preserve It. Heat to 165 or to 176
Fahrenheit, and the juice will not lose
its delicate favor and aroma, but will
keep indefinitely The bottles into
which the juice is put should be care
fully steriliZed and as carefully scaId-
ed. If cotton batting is tied over the
corks, mold cannot enter. Another
hing to remember is that the bottles
should be filled to Overflowing.
Rinse all dishes that have contained
egg or dough with cold water, as hot
water has tendency to cook the sub
stance and makes it harder to remove.
