feet long, these lath trays are most
economical of material when made four
feet in length.
Better but more expensive trays can
be made by substituting galvanized
wire screen, one-eighth or one-fourth
inch mesh, for the laths, in which case
the most economical size would depend
upon the width of the wire screen OBJ
tainable.
A cheap and very satisfactory drier
for use over the kitchen stove can be
made by any handy boy or carpenter
from a small amount of small-mesh
galvanized-wire netting and a number
of laths or strips of wood about one
half inch thick and two inches wide.
The screen may be tackled directly on
the framework to make the drying
shelves, or the framework can be made
to support separate trays. By using
two lath,s nailed together, the frame
work can be stiffened and larger trays
made if desirable. This form or any
of the lighter makes of driers can be
suspended from the ceiling over the
kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline
or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot
air which rises during the cooking
hour 1t can be raised out of the way
or swung to one side by crane made
of lath when the stove is required for
cooking purposes, and lowered or
swung back to utilize the heat which
otherwise would be wasted when the
top of the stove is not in use
Another homemade cookstove drier
can be used on a wood or coal range
or a kerosene stove can be made easily
and cheaply. Dimensions Base "a by
16 inches; height SO inches. A base
six inches high is made of galvanized
sheet iron. This base slightly flares
toward the bottom and has two small
openings for ventilation in each of the
four sides. On the base rests boxlike
frame made of 1 or 11s-inch strips
Of wood. The two sides are braced
with IL Inch strips which serve as
cleats on which the trays in the drier
rest. These are placed at intervals Of
three inches. The frame is covered
with tin or galvanized sheet iron which
is tackled to the wooden strips of the
frame. Thin strips of wood may be
used instead of tin or sheet iron. The
door is fitted on small hinges and fas-
-ened with a thumb latch. It opens
wide, so that the trays can be removed
easily. The bottom of the drier is
made of piece of Perforated galva-
nized sheet iron. Two inches above
the bottom is placed a solid sheet Of

Heroic Books

Life is not habitually seen from any
common platform so truly and unexag-
geratedly as in the light of literature.
Books, not which afford US q covering
enjoyment. but la which each thought
of unusual daring; such as an idle
man cannot read, and timid one
would not be entertained by, which
even make US dangerous to existing in
stitutions-sueh I call good books.
The heroic books, even if print
ed in the character of our mother
tongue, will always be in a language
dead to degenerate times; and we must
laboriously seek the meaning of each
word and line, conjecturing a larger
sense than common use permits out Of
what wisdom and valor and gener-
oSity we haye.-Thoreau.

DEMAND FOR SKIS GROWING
Popularity of Winter Sport Has In
creased Wonderfully in United
States and Canada.

You scarcely would think that there
would be market for skis in Arizona,
or in California, with it much-vaunted
climate-but it's true. And, moreover,
the st. Paul Pioneer Press says, there
is demand for them in these two
states-as well as all other states of
the Union where it is possible to in
dulge in that winter sport AS for
Canada, the demand from that quarter
for these locally made skis is immense.
One reason probably for this demand
on st. Paul made skis is that the
largest ski mandatory in the world
is located here. For the manufacture
of skis, Louisiana yellow pine, Florida
hickory, ash and maple are used, the
hickory being the best for skis used by
a jumper. Every ski must be perfect
piece OF wood, any pitch hole or defect
Immediately making the wood unfit for
use.
The wood, after being seasoned thor
oughly, is planned and then goes to the
markers bench, where the pattern is
marked on 1t. 1t is then cut out with
saws according to this pattern, grooved
on the bottom to give the s|i runner
better control of his skis, steamed and
the prov" bent, the hole cut for the
harness which holds the feet to the ski,
and then finished and painted.
Ski running and jumping has in
creased wonderfully in the United
States and Canada in the past two
years. Even the United States govern
ment purchases skis here for the use
of its rangers and other officials, for
whom the SHOWS of the north make
such implements necessary.

DRYING IN The sun
Have All Fruits and Vegetables
Properly Prepared.
SIMPLE APpARATUsFOR WORK
Bright, Hot Sunny Days Are Best, and
Close Watch Should Sc Kept That
Rain or Dew Does Not Hit
Product-Avoid Insects.
Rrom FARMERS. BULLETIN Sal, United

(F'rom FARMERS BULLETIN SAL, United
States Department of Agriculture.)
The drying of fruits and vegetables
in the sun is simple process if they
have been prepared properly. In its
simplest form such drying consists in
spreading the freshly prepared slices
or pieces on sheets of paper, or, If
there is danger of the products sticL-
ing, spreading on old pieces of muslla
held down with stones. Bright, hot,
sunny days are chosen for this work,
and close watch is kept to see that
no rain or dew vets the product. If
flies and other insects are abundant, a
mosquito bar is thrown over the prod
uct. Once or twice day the slices
are stirred or turned over with the
hand and the thin ones which dry first
are taken out. Sun drying has much to
recommend it, since it requires no ex-
penditure of fuel and there is little
danger of the product becoming over
heated. Dust, however, gathers on the
product, and, unless it is protected
carefully, flies, and especially certain
insects which habitually attack dried
fruits, will lay their eggs upon 1t.
These eggs later will hatch out, and
the worms, or larvae, will riddle the
dried fruits. or vegetables. rendering
them unfit for the table.
Trays of Uniform Size.
Fruits and vegetables, when dried In
the sun, generally are spread on large
trays of uniform size, so constructed
that they can be 81 acked one on top
of the other and protected from rain
by means of cover made of oilcloth,
canvas or roofing paper.
A very cheap tray can be made of
strips of lumber three-fourths of an
inch thick and two inches wide, which
form the sides and ends, and lath,
which is nailed on TO form me bottom.
Spaces one-eiSnth inch wide should be
left between the laths for ventilation,
and the traps can be raised off the
ground by placing them on poles or an
improvised trestle. ! AS laths are four
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1917-07-24

three-inch space in the back. The
other trays alternate in the same way.
This permits the current of heated air
to pass around and over the trays. A
ventilator opening, about two inches
wide and six inches long, is left in the
top of the drier, through which the
moist air may pass away.
This principle of construction is fol-
lowed so that currents of air will pass
over the product as well as up through
it, gathering the moisture and passing
away. The movement of the current
of air induces more rapid and uni
form drying. The upper trays can
be shifted to the lower part of the
drier, and the lower trays to the upper
part as drying proceeds, so as to dry
the products uniformly throughout.
Another Home Drier.
Still another home drier is the cook
stove oven. Bits of food, leftovers,
especially sweet corn, can be dried on
plates in very slow oven or on the
back of the cookstove and saved for
winter use., If the oven is very warm,
the door should be left aiar and the
temperature of the oven often noted.
Trays for use in the oven can be made
from a convenient-sized galvanized
wire screen by bending up the edges
one or two inches.
Cookstove driers on the market are
of two types. One type consists of a
series of trays upon which the material
to be dried is spread. These trays are
placed in a framework one above the
other, forming compartment through
which the heated air rises, carrying off
the moisture. The second type con-
sists of shallow flat metal box filed
with water and designed so that one
end can rest on the back of the stove

A Chinese entered the Office of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Evansville a few days ago and left a
telegram with Ivan Bennett, the signal
clerk. The yellow man said the tele-
gram was to be sent to Chicago. Ben

for the operators and John Black, an

and the other on leg reaching to the
floor. 1t also may be supported over
a lamp.
Use Of Electric Fan.
The use of an electric fan n facili-
tating drying is feasible for those who
already own fan. 1t has been found
that many sliced vegetables and fruits
placed in long trays three by one foot
and stacked in two tiers, end to end,
before an electric fan can be dried to
the requisite dryness within twenty
four hours. Some require much less
time. For instance, sliced string beans
and shredded sweet potatoes will dry
before a fan running at a moderate
speed within a few hours. In many
cities the electric fan will cost not
more than one-fourth of cent an hour
to run. The fan should be placed close
to the stack of trays, and they should
not be filed so fun that the air cannot
pass freely through them. The fan
method has a marked advantage in
that the product keeps cool owing to
evaporation while 1t is being dried,
thus tending to retain the color and
eliminate spoilage.
