Days

Days are said 10 resemble the
hairs Of our heads to the extent of
being number The only other
resemblance is that they get sticky
in hot weather. Days are still with

than heretofore, but big nights al,
ways did come high. The present
day is the only one of any real use,
but as we OOk about us we see that
it is the least valued, This proves
that humans are somehow superior
creatures to the bruteS. The wealth

Fruit Juices For Jelly.

Fruit juices for use later in jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellies
at the housewives convenience This
enables her to do with fewer jelly
glasses and to distribute her pur-
chases of sugar for jelly making
through the year. Moreover with
the bottled juice she can make a
greater variety of jellleS as juices
W hich will not jell Can be put up
when the fruit is ripe and combin-
ed later with fruits that will jell. OF
fruits ripening at different seasons
can be combined. For example, the
juice of strawberries, cherries or
pineapple can be kept without su-
gar and later when apples are plenti-
full can be made into combination
jelly.
From the unsueared sterilized
juices of currants. apples, crab
apples. and grapes, kept from 8 to
Is months, the Bureau of Chemistry
United States Department of Agri-
culture, recently made jellies of ex-
cellent texture, flavor. aud color.
To put up unSueared fruit juices
for jelly making proceed exactly as
if jelly were to be made at the time
Cook the fruits until they are soft
and strain out the juice through
flannel bag. Heat and pour while
hot into bottles previously scalded.
Fill the bottles full, leaving no air
space between juice and cork or
seal. Place the filled sealed bottles
on their sides in water near the
boiling point, and keep them in the
bath for about 80 minutes. Make
sure that the corked OF sealed end
is under the hot water. AS soon as
the bottles are cool cover the cork
with paraffin seal Through sterili-
cation and sealing are absolutely
essential TO success.

How to Can Beans.

The June Farm and FireSide says
Many of our readers are asking us
how TO can particular vegetables
such as beans, peas or corn. Here
Is the process for beans in detail:
Select beans of the same age and
color, AMI plan to can Immediately
after picking. String and wash
them well, and if you do not wish
to can them whole cut them into
uniform pieces. Blanch by placing
n boiling water from five TO ten
minutes, depending on the age of
the bears. and then plunge them
quickly into cold water. Fill the
jars. packing closely. Add one
teaspOOnful Of salt to each quart of
beans. fill the jars with boiling
water and put the tops on loosely.
Put the jars in the Gamer. This
may be simply lard pail or wash
boiler with a false bottom of wood.
en- stats, or better. a wire rack, and
the water in it should cover the
cans about one inch. Have the
water hot when the jars are set in
and bring them to a boil quickly.
Count the time from the moment
il starts boiling and steriIize the
beans two hours. Then remove
jars and tighten covers. Use the
same method for peas"

Save In Ha vestIne

Conservation of rraln through
efficient methods of harvesting. In
GLIDING stacking wherever labor
conditions permit, is recommended
to farmers by Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture Carl Vrooman
The Nation needs every head OF
grain that can be raised this sum-
mer." declared Mr.. Vrooman. Effort
must be made TO save every ounce
of wheat. oats, and rye at the har-
vest. Each year hundreds. if not
thousands, of bushels of grain are
ruined in regions where midsummer
rains occur. because it is allowed
to remain on the ground prey to
the weather. Keep in mind that a
bushel of wheat will furnish bread
for one person for about rs days.
Harvesting machinery should be
adjusted so that there is as little
loss as possible in cutting. Care
should be taken also to harvest all
grain clearly in the corners, along
the edges of the fields. and in lOde-
ed spots.
More than usual attention should
be given to shocking in order that
there may be as little waste as pos
Sible from exposure to the weather.
If at all practicable, the grain
should then be stacked as soon as
il is cured IN the shock. Stacks of
bound or headed grain should be
built carefully SO that they will
shed water. Every blade saved equl's
a blade produced.
In threshine. special attention
should be given TO the adjustment
of the concaves and of separating
machinery. to make sure that none
Of the grain is lost with the straw
and chaff."

Watch for Watermelon Anthracnose

Watch for Watermelon Arthracnose
Anthracnose of the watermelon
is widely distributed disease quite
common and oftentimes destructive
in the melon growing districts of
the state, The fungus causing the
disease attacks all portions of the
plant above ground. Early infection
and rapid spread may result in des-
truction Of the plants before harvest
ed. Owing to the destructive nature
of this parasite, W. H. Lawrence Of
the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture recommends that an
attempt be made to prevent the
fungus from attacking the plant
The best preventive is 44-50
bordeaux mixture. This mixture
should be prepared very carefully
and applied iu the form of a mist.
and in such manner as to com.
pletely coat the leaves and fruit
Several applications may be neces-
sary. The first application is the
most important, however. Spraying
should begin at once following the
first appearance Of the disease or
better few days earlier.
Warm, moist or rainy weather
favors the spread of the disease.
When such conditions occur two or
more applications Z to 1G days
apart should be made. The effec.
tiveness of the application will de-
pend very largely upon the thoro-
ness of the work.
A spraying outfit maintaining {
pressure of $50 to IT'S pounds equipE

Do Not Market La ing Hens.

Under ordinary conditions 1T
least one-half Of the farm poultry
flock should he replaced each year
However. conditions are unusual
this wear, and u ". Hervey of the
University of Missouri College Of
Agriculture is urging farmers to in
crease their poultry flocks Que half
md to keep every hen which is in
LAYING condition. He summarizes
the conditions affecting poultry
keepers as follows: excessive cost of
feed, uncertain prices for market
poultry. and a certain high eeS
market The high price of feed
has caused many farmers To mar
ket poultry stock. As usual many
of these chickens are hens. In view
of feed cost Mr. Hervey belives that
market prices are not high enough
to justify selling hens especially
when each hen properly managed
represents at least $50 year
Prices received for eggs this spring
have been high and conditions point
TO high prices turnout the summer
Furthermore there is reason to be.
lieve that egg prices next winter
will be even higher than they were
last winter. Mr.. Hervey has Sug
eested that it will not pay the
farmer to keep male birds during
the summer. Every surplus cock
erel should be marketed as soon as
it weighs a pound and half. and
every effort should be devoted to
raising as many pullets as possible.
