DRYING AND PRESERVING.

-
Drying as a means of preserving food
is the oldest Of methods. Clearly it is
older than the chemical methods.
though preservation in salt is of great
antiquity. Canning could not antedate
the making of cans, and refrigeration
Is relatively recent in origin. This year
the impulse to dry vegetables, fruits
and wen meats is unusually strong.
The supply OF cans and jars is short
certainly should be conserved. IL
T. desirable that waste of foodstuffs due
10 spelling he eliminated. Burdens upon
transportation should he lessened.
In a discussion before the American
Society of Heating and Nentilating EN-
giilcers Mr.. Still said: If all the crops
which there is every prospect Will be
raised this year could be dchydraled
Sefore marketing. excluding wheat and
corn. there wOuld be probably $50 per
'ent more than is required, as undoubt-
eddy 60 per cent of the stuff goes to
waste before it is consumed by the in
diridual householder
in the first place drying stops decay
in its early stages. The amount of food
which il lost from decay is very great.
In the second place drying prevents the
development of decay in the marketed
product. The germs of decay do not
work when the percentage of moisture
tails below j to = per cent.

they cost less to ship. One undre
hushe of sweet potatoes will dry
down to 80 bushels, 100 bushels OF
spinach To PA bushels, beets to 1913
bushels. onions All bushels. string
beans 1S.S bushels. according to
Schwartz.
The saving in shipping charges and
i'm the cost of containers where deny.
drafting is lone will be very large.
Schwartz says: The enormity of this
advantage is easily seen when we con-
slider that a. to so per cent of the total
weight and 40 TO 80 per cent of the
volume Of sweet potatoes is due to
water"
The flavors and odors of fruits and
vegetables are due to esters which vola-
tilize and pass off with the moisture at
moderate temperatures. Dehydration is
lone at low temperatures. Therefore.
properly dehydrated vegetables and
fruits have the f%lavors, vitamines. min
erals and. all other good qualities of
fresh vegetables. They are good for
Nurvy and constipation.
To dehydrate properly the heating
must be started at 90 to 40 degrees.
When the drying has gone on until the
tomatoes or apples begin to look leath-
cry. the heat can be run up to 100 de-
grees. or in some cases. higher, accord
ing to Slladwell. The temperatures
made use of can he quite low if IL free
circulation of air is maintained. Do
nestle dehydration can be done with
fair success by making use of an or
binary stove and an electric fan.
Still tells OF an establishment which
iries apples at a low temperature at a
cost OF about 4 cents a bushel. They
handle III 600 bushels. The wastage
from decay in that amount of undried
apples would amount. at SO cents a
irshel. to $s,5OO. The cost of drying
Is $500. In addition there is the saw
