ELECTRIC FAN FOR DRYING.

From warm weather instrument
primarily the electric fan appears to
be applicable to the problem of the
hour--the conservation of our food.
The United States department of
agriculture has suggested the re of
the conventional electric fan Tor dry
ing vegetables. In bulletin on the
subject it states that tests have
proved that many sliced vegetables
and fruits placed in long trays three
feet by one foot and stacked in two
tiers end to end before an electric
fan can be dried to the requisite dry
ness within twenty-four hours. Some
vegetables require even less time.

how good it is or how low the price,"
"Pll buy something good. You
show me real bargain, and you can
