however, only clean. sound fruit
should be used and 1t should be well
sipened, but not overripe. The grapes
should first be crushed and pressed In
an ordinary cider mill or by hand IL
no mill is available.
Red JuIce.-For red Juice, the
crushed grapes are heated TO about
200 degrees Fahrenheit before the juice
is separated from the pulp and then
strained through clean cloth or drip
bag without pressure. Thereafter, the
process is the same as for light-colored
juice.
/ Grape juice should be stored away
In bottles or jars that are not too large,
for after these have been opened the
juice is likely to spoil. If properly
made, however, the juice should keep
indefinitely as long as 1t is kept In
sealed bottles.

mixture in a kettle or vat vigorously
for five minutes. Pour the liquid into
vessels. preferably glass jars or pitch
ers; allow TO stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
liquid into preserving kettle. Do not
allow sediment at bottom TO enter. Add
TO the clear liquid one level teaspoon
full of lime carbonate and stir thor
oughly. The process is completed by
boiling down rapidly to a clear liquid.
Use density gauge or candy thermome-
ter and bring the temperature up to
22O degrees Fahrenheit. If a thermom-
eter is not available, boil until bulk is
reduced to One-seventh of the original
volume. To determine whether the
sirup is cooked enough test as for
candy-by pouring a little into cold
water. If boiled enough it should have
the consistency of maple sirup. 1t
should not be cooked long enough to
harden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the sirup
has been cooked enough, pour it into
fruit jars, pitchers. etc., and allow it
to cool slowly. Slow cooling is i'm
pOrtant as otherwise the suspended
matter will not settle properly and the

CLEAN AND STORE PLANTERS
implements Should Be Put Away Care
fully for Another Year-keep
in Good Condition.

AS soon as the farmer has finished
using the planters for this year, they
should be cleaned and put away care
fully, so that they will be in good con-
dition for another year. Often by
carelessly allowing planters TO lay
around uncared for, one has to buy a
new ore the following season. or at
least hult for lost parts. Every plate
and other part Of the planters should
be stored carefully away. and the
planter left ready for use another
year. Prices of machinery are ad-
vancing as well as prices of foodstuffs.
and there is no reason why the farmer
should not take unusually good care
Of all implements on the farm.

SOIL FOR STRAWBERRY
One of First Requisites of Ripen-
ing Fruit Is Moisture.
Stiff Clay Is to BE Avoided Because IL
Cannot Be Worked Early in Season
Without Becoming cIoddy and
Is Apt to Bake.
By J. A. BAUER.)

The soil and location best adapted
TO strawberry culture will vary some
what in different sections. In q gen.
eral way we have said that any soil
that would grow good crops of corn
or potatoes would grow good straw
berries, and while this seems TO be
pretty safe rule, it is also true that in
order to grow them to the best advan-
tage it is necessary to have the soil
especially adapted. One of the first
requisites Of the ripening fruit is
moisture, and care should be taken
that this is provided. Hence q very
dry or loose, sandy soil would not be a
safe location, although in moist sea-
sons a fair crop might be harvested.

tried. Setting poor plants will often
bring failure. 1t should be a rule
never to purchase any but strong,
hardy, vigorous plants.
On an acre of rich, cultivated land,
n crop OF strawberries can be grown
that will net $500; an acre of such
land should produce at the rate of 200
bushels to the acre.
