in small way by placing the mate

METHODSoFD DRYING
Three Ways Applicable in Making
Dried Products.
SHRED OR CUT into SLICES
When Artificial! Heat Is to BE Used,
Freshly Gut Fruits and Vegeta-
bIes Should Be Exposed First
u to Gentle Heat.

(From FARMERS BULLETIN s41, United
States Department of Agriculture)
Three main ways of drying are ap-
plicable in the home manufacture Of
dried fruits and vegetables, namely,
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying, BY air blast. These, of
course, may be, combined. In general,
most fruits or vegetables, to be dried
quickly, must first be shredded or cut
into slices, because many are too large
to dry quickly or are covered with a
skin. the purpose of. which is to pre-
vent drying out. When freshly cut
fruits or vegetables are to be dried by
means of artificial heat, they should
be exposed first to gentle heat and
later to the higher temperatures. If
the air applied at the outset is Of too
high temperature, the cut surfaces
of the sliced fruits or vegetables be-
come hard, Or scorched, covering the
juicy interior SO that it will not dry
out. Generally it is not desirable that
the air temperature in drying should
go above 40 degrees to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it is better to keep it
well below this point. Insects and in
sect eggs are killed by exposure to
heat of this temperature.
Degree of Heat.
1t is important to know the degree
of heat in the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by using thermometer. inexpensive
oven thermometers can be found on

Peppers.
(a) Peppers may be dried by split

ing in the drier at 140 degrees Fahren-
heit. A more satisfactory method is
to place peppers in biscuit pan in oven

heit. In drying thick-fleshed peppers
like the pimentO, do not increase heat
too quickly, but dry slowly and even
ly.
(b) Small varieties of red peppers
may be spread in the sun until wilted
and the drying finished in the drier,
or they may be dried entirely in the
sun.
(c) Peppers often are dried whole.
If they are large they can be strung
on stout thread: if small, the whole
plant can be hung up to- dry.
Spinach and Parsley.
Spinach that is in prime condition
Of green's should be prepared by care
full washing and removing the leaves
from the roots. Spread the leaves on
trays to dry thoroughly. Slicing will
greatly facilitate drying.
Parsley should be treated in the
same way as spinach.
Herbs.
Celery tops, parsley, mint, sage, and
herbs of all kinds need not be
blanched, but should be washed well

(b) Boil or steam on the cob eight

improve flavor a teaspoOnful Of salt
to a gallon of water may be used.
Drain we'll and cut corn from cob,
using very sharp and flexible knife.
Cut grains fine, only half way down

scrape off any of the chaff next to the
cob. Dry from three to four hours at
no degrees to 145 degrees Fahren-
heit. When field corn is used, good,
plump roasting-ear stage is the proper
degree Of ripeness. A pound of dried
corn per dozen ears is an average
yield.
(c) The corn may be dried in the
sun. Dry in oven ten to fifteen min
utes, and finish drying in the sun. Sun
drying, of course, is not satisfactory
in moist weather.

thermometer can be suspended in the
drier. If thermometer is not used,
the greatest care should be given to
the regulation Of the heat. The tenn
perature in the drier rises rather
quickly and the product may scorch
unless close attention is given. The
reason sun drying is popularly be-
lieved to give fruits and vegetables
sweeter flavor lies probably in the
fact that in the sun they never are
scorched, whereas in the oven or over
stove scorching is likely to occur
unless careful attention Is given them.
Drying of certain products can be
completed in some driers within two
or three hours. The time required for
drying vegetables varies. However, it
can be determined easily by little
experience on the part Of the person
doing the drying. The material should
be stirred or turned several times dur
ing the drying in order to secure a
uniform product.
The ability to judge accurately as
to when fruit has reached the proper
condition for removal from drier can
be gained only by experience, When
sufficiently dried it should be so dry
that it is impossible to press water
out Of the freshly cut ends Of the
pieces, and will not show any of the
natural grain of the fruit on being
broken, and yet not so dry that it will
snap or crackle. 1t should be leathery
and pliable.
