SAVE SUGAR IN

Much waste and spoilage of jellies can be avoided by using a simple al cOhOhc test recommended by the bu- reau of chemistry, United States de partment of agriculture. To deter mine how much sugar should be used with each kind of juice put d spoonful ot juice in glass and add to il one spoonful of 95 per cent grain alcohol, mixed by shaking the glass gently. Pour slowly from the glass, noting how the pectin-the substance in fruits which makes them ieu is precipitated. If the pectin k uccipitated as one lump q cuptul of sugar may be used for each cup oI jlcc, if in several Jumps the pro portion of sugar must be reduced to approximately three-quarters the amount of the juice. II the pcctin is not in Jumps but is merely pre- half or less of the amount of the juice. If the juice shows no precipi- td,ion under this test, il is unsuit- able for jelly making and must be combined with apples or other juices rich in pectin.
 The housewife will do well before making the test, to taste the juice, as fruits not as acid as good tart apples probably will not make good jelly unless mixed with other fruits which are acid-Farmers' Bulletin.
