SULPHURING DRIED PEACHES,

Sulphur fumes are frequently used
to prevent peaches from being dis
cOlored in the process of drying.
Common and simple process is to
place the fruit, Immediately after it is
prepared for drying, on iron wire
trays. These wires should not be
galvanized. The trays are then placed
in chest or small cabinet made of
convenient size, and a small guam
tity of sulphur, from one to one and a
half ounces, is placed on shovel
or in an iron pot and placed in the
bottom of the cabinet. 1t is then
lighted by dropping a live coal in it
or with red hot stove poker. All
the doors and vents are then closed
and the fruit is left in this air-tight
compartment for a few moments I'M
til the fumes have thoroughly spread
throughout the space and come in
contact with all the exposed surfaces
of the fruit.
A little practice will be required to
determine the amount of time re-
CURED for the operation and the
amount of sulphur to be used. Ordi-
nar1ly one ounce of sulphur will fumi
gate thoroughly all the fruit that
can be placed in a drier four feet
wide. six or eight feet long and six
rect nigh, and the fumigation process
IN from five to fifteen minutes. de-
pending upon the ventilation given TO
insure the circulation of the sulphur
throughout the entire cabinet. All
that is required is to give the sulphur
sufncient time to act upon the cut SIR
races OF the fruit and prevent their
dlscoloration in the process of driving
with the best drying and evaporat
ing establishments in use at the nres-
ent time the sulphuring process is not
necessary and is not used as the
dehydration or removal of water does
7 to any appreciable extent dis
color the fruit. The fruit should he
'eft IN the fumigating box only long
enough to prevent it's discoloration
when being placed in the drier or
exposed to the sun for drying. The
process is simple, inexpensive and
perfectly safe when properly used

LIFE'S GAME.

(By W. E. Courtnay)
Life is like any game we play; the dead
Is much against us, yet we cal Ior naiius'
Discard and try to fill and often ieen
Our chance of winning on this dra"hs
stands.
1t changes not, in calm, it is the same,
In tumults, too. we shuttle. play tle sa 20 q
Sometimes luck comes our way anu ia'e
is kind, ,,,,d
And then again we lose and are p PENN
often wonder when we actors leave
This stage of life to play another paTl M
If that Great Prompter, in whom all pe-
lieve, ~, ..
win be merciful to us within His heart
He knows full well each game we NOR
tails play, aov
IT'S nothing new. tits old of ancient day.
We cannot stack the cards, SO play IL
fair,
For all games end and find the judgment
there ne
We're bound to play this game OF life'
we must, ,..
''Tis so ordained until we turn to dust
Each plays a different hand put all are
shown -.
Well played, or not. before that great

I" WHAT'S THE USE"
(Ry w r. Courtnay.)

(By w. e. COurtHdy.)
What's the use of kicking when things
are going wrong, ..,
The worlds not going to listen TO your
song
It's mighty busy world you bet
The ones that win must go and get
SO quit the kicking friend ana plug
along.
never knew man who made fortune
or name,
Who didn't keep on working, even when
he got the game"
This life of ours is what we stake,
The more put in, the more well make,
And all of us can reach the goal OF fame'
Way down in Maine some years ago old
''EbeneZer Brown"
Was called regular lunatic and every
body's clown;
But 'Eb" plugged" on, and didn't fret'
And made the hay while others slept,
Now 'Eb'' is mayor of his native town.
This kicking game has never won
single ribbon friend,
1t never gets us anything for the energy
we spend,
SO ''buckle down" and hoe your row.
And seeds of sunshine daily sow,
Just take the tip you're richer In the
end.

happiest days of my life. Proba-
bly, an old man ought not to be trav-
cling around In such heat, but /
could not have missed this anniver-
sary And while l have been de-
lighted 10 have the old fellows who
fought under me come here and shake
my hand today that is nothing to the
Joy of having the men | fought
against and helped TO whip. come here
and Insist on shaking my hand and
receiving from them assurances OF
their good will.
