When Ants sIeep.

A great many persons firmly believe
that ants do not sleep. This supersti-
tion arises from the fact that on moon.
light nights during the summer ants
have often been seen at work about
their nests. People OF almost all Da.
tons have believed that ants lay up
food for the winter. The alleged fact
Is mentioned many times in ancient
and modern literatures. and is direct.

They do no such thing. During the
winter they remain in a torpid or semi
torpid condition, reyiying under the
genial warmth Of the spring sun.

amount of Juice can ordinarily be Sc
cured from 10 watermelons weighing
from p to 25 pounds each.
Boil Juice.
The juice is then boiled down into
a syrup in an ordinary preserving ket-
tie The juice boils without much
foaming until it begins to thicken,
when the fire should be slackened to
prevent foaming and burning. The
red coloring matter in the juice coag-
ulates during boiling and part of 1t
rises to the surface, where II can be
removed by skimming. The remainder
floats in the juice, forming red parti-
cles which gather near the top. To-
ward the last of the boiling the syrup
must be watched constantly. If the
housewife has candy thermometer
she should take the syrup from the
fire as soon as it reaches a tempera-
ture of 220 degrees Fahrenheit. other
wise she should let it cook until a
small sample on cooling is about as
thick as maple syrup.
When the boiling has finished, the
syrup can be set aside to cool in Gov
cred vessels or can be poured while
hot into cans or glass containers and
sealed.
Where a cider press is available the
melons can be cut into pieces and ar
ranged on the press so that the pres
sure will extract the juice of the pulp
before it presses the rind. The juice
of the rind is not so rich in sugar, and
experiments with rind juice alone in
dicate that it is not suitable for syrup.
To Remove Red coIoring Matter.
If it is desired to make syrup free
from red particles, start the syrup
boiling and when some of the coagu-
lated matter has been removed by
skimming, transfer the juice to tall
glass jars or other tall containers and
allow it 10 settle and cool for few
hours. This allows the red particles
to settle to the bottom The upper part
of the juice can then be poured Off
and boiled into syrup.
