ents. A ~teaspoonful of tar is enough
for q peck of corn. Mix the tar with
a quart of boiling water. After the
mixture has cooled somewhat but is
still hot, stir in the corn until every
grain is coated, and then spread it out
TO dry before planting. Corn may be
immersed several minutes in moder-
ately hot water without affecting GER
minatiOn. The tar treatment does not
repel mice or ground squirrels.
Destruction Of corn by ground
squirrels, prairie dogs, pocket gophers,
or mice is best prevented by poisoning
the animals a few days before the corn
is planted. Strychnine is the best
poison in all cases, but to obtain salts
factory results a special formula is
needed for preparing the poison for
each kind of animal. Such formulas
have been worked out by the bureau of
biological survey Of the department of
agriculture, and special instructions
will be furnished upon application.
Paris green and s%trychnine are poisons
and should not be placed where chill
dren or domestic animals can get them.

ments that require him TO walk. The
use of bigger tools and thorough prep
aration of seed beds will also cut
down the time required for cultivation
of the corn crop. Cultivation is the
operation which limits the amount Of
corn n man can grow. II q good
seed bed Is prepared, some time can
be saved in c%ultivating the crop, and
consequently more ceres can be
grown.

Good Packing and Storing.

Although not necessary, tin a n Or
glass jars make good receptacles for
storage of dried fruits or vegetables.
Pasteboard boxes with tight covers,
stout paper bags, and patented paraffin
paper cartons also afford ample pro-
lection for dried products when pro-
tected from insects and rodents. The
dried fruit or vegetables must be pro-
tected from the outside moisture and
will keep best in a cool, dry, well-ven-
tilated place. These conditions, how
ever, are difficult to obtain in the more
humid regions, and there moisture
tight containers should be used.
II a small amount of dried product
is put in each receptacle, just enough
for n or two meals, it will not be
necessary to open a cOntainer the con-
tents of which cannot be consumed in
container also makes it more difficult
for insects to spoil large quantities of
dried fruits or vegetables. If q paper
bag is used, the upper part should be
twisted Into q neck, bent over, and tied
tightly with a string. IL a further
p%recaution against spoilage is neces-
sary the bag can be coated with par
ATTN by painting 1t with a brush which
has been dipped into melted parafiin.
Another precaution may be taken by
placing the small bags in a tin on
tainer with a tightly fitting cover, such
as an ordinary lard car or pail. All
bags should bear q label indicating
what they contain.
IL fruits or vegetables are packed In
tight containers Immediately upon be-
lng dried thoroughly, they will remain
just as brittle as they were when tn
ken from the drier. II. however, they
are not dried thoroughly. they will
"sweat" and soon mold. To prevent
this the material should be examined
within 81 hours after packing, and II
1t appears moist 1t must be dried
further.

In the preparation of large quanti-
ties of potatoes a peeler may be util-
lied. The potatoes are thrown by GEN.
trifugal force against q rough surface
which, under streams of water provid-
ed by the perforated tin container
above, hicks off the outer skin and
leaves only the eyes to be dug out.
B%lanching of vegetables is consid-
cred desirable by some housekeepers,
although it is o strictly essential to
successful drying. 1t is claimed that
the blanch gives a more thorough
cleaning, removes the strong odOr and
flavor from certain kinds of vegeta-
bles, and softens and lOOsenS the fiber.
This allows the moisture in the vege-
table to evapOrate more quickly and
uniformly. 1t also quickly coagulates
the albuminouS matter in the vegeta-
bles, which helps to hold in the natural
flavOrs. B~lanching consists of plung-
ing the vegetable into boiling water for
q short time. Use a wire basket or
cheesecloth bag for this. After blanch-
ing the required number of minutes,
drain we'll and remove surface mois-
ture from vegetables by placing be-
tween two towels or by exposing TO
the sun and air for q short time.
Preparing Food FOR Drier.
In large factories the vegetables are
put through special Shredders and
slicers not adapted for home use,
but convenient and inexpensive ma
chimes which can be used to great adj
vantage are on the market. The meat
grinder with It's special disks can be
used in certain cases; the common
kraut slicer will cut large vegetables
into thin slices, such as potatoes and
cabbage; and the rotary hand Slicer is
adapted for use On a very wide range
of material. A large sharp kitchen
knife may be used when a handler
cutting device is not available. Care
should be taken that the material is
sliced thin enough but not too thin.
From an eighth to a quarter of an
inch is q fair thickness for most of
the common vegetables to be sliced
and dried. Very small slices or strips
dry more quickly because they expose
q greater surface to the air than do
larger cut pieces. But if cut too fine
they are more difficult to handle in
drying, appear to lose somewhat in
flavor, and cannot be used so advan.
%tageously to make dishes like those
| prepared from the fresh foods.
The siieihe machines are not suit
able for childrpd's use, for they will
cut fingers as meFeilessly as they do
vegetables and fruits, 8ba even adults
should exercise great caution in their
use in the home.
