Various fruit juices may be prepared
in the home and bottled for future use
Practically any fruit may be used in
the first recipe following.
Sterilized Fruit Juices.-The fruit
juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of a cider press, special fruit
press, or other improvised presses; then
heated In an acid-proof kettle up to
40 degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit juice
may then be poured into ordinary hot
jars, hot bottles, or tin cans, and ham
died by the same directions as those
into miscellaneous bottles, it is sug-
gested that the fruit juice be sterilized
as follows:
Make n cotton stopper and press
into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period, Set
bottles in boiling hot water up to the
neck of the bottle, steriliZing the fruit
juice for 80 minutes at simmering
temperature Q65 degrees FahrenheiD.
Remove the product, press cork in top
over cotton stopper Immediately. If the
cork fits well, no paraffin need be used.
If poor cork, it may be necessary tn
dip the cork in melted solution of wax
or paraffin. Fruit juices and apple
cider when handled in this way will
not "fatten in taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.
Grape Juice by Two-Day Method

Der of varieties of grapes which will

FEEDING FARM WORK HORSES
Grown Feeds to Fullest Extent
Grain Is Essential.

In feeding horses utilize home
grown feeds TO the fullest extent. In
a section where corn can be we'll ma
tured, this grain ought TO constitute
the greater portion of the concentrated
feed for work horses.
Corn alone can be used as q grain
feed for work horses if q good quality
of alfalfa or clover hay is fed for
rOughage. When combined with mixed
hay or timothy hay, grain combina-
ton of three parts corn and one part
oats by weight is satisfactory mix
ture.
IF oats are scarce and high in price
cottOnseed-meal or oilmeal may be
substituted for the protein furnished
by the oats. One-third TO one-half
pound of linseed meal will, with the
amount secured through mixed hay,
furnish sufficient protein for a 1900
pound working horse.
A horse at farm work requires from
IL to IL pounds Of grain per 100
pounds live weight daily. Feed grain
sufficient TO keep the horse in good
working condition. Hay may be linn
ited to the standard of a pound OF hay
TO 100 pounds live weight daily. Re
duce the grain one-half on days when
the horse is idle TO avoid azoturia.

Jams are made of small fruits which
are not whole or firm enough to use
for preserves No attempt is made
to retain the original shape of the
fruit, the finished product having a
uniform consistency. Marmalades have
more jellylike texture and thin slices
of the fruit appear suspended through
out the mixture. In fruit buffers and
pastes frequently less sugar is used
than in jams and the product is more
concentrated. Conserves may be made
of large or small fruits, cooked in
the same manner as jams. Sometimes
nuts are added.
In stirring jams use wooden spoon

becoming cloddy, and later is apt TO
bake, and the plants will suffer more
than on sandy soil. 1t would seem
that sandy lOam or loam with slight
mixture of clay should, If properly
handled, give the best results.
Having chosen q soil retentive of
moisture, it next becomes necessary TO
prepare for proper drainage in case of
excessive rainfall, unless the natural
lay of the land is such that no water
will stand upon the surface. Tile
drains are the only practical ones to
use. Open bitches will, perhaps, an

In planning your strawberry field
care should be taken to avoid frosty
locations, such as very low land near
marshes or lakes, also valleys where
there is no chance for circulation of
air, as these localities are very liable
to heavy frosts, when higher land or
that more open to circulation would
show little, if any. A hard frost at
blossoming time often ruins the entire
crop.
The best lanG one can use is a clover
field. After plowing fertilize with a
mixture of three pounds of nitrogen
seven pounds of phosphoric acid and
nine pounds of potash, using about
eight hundred pounds to the acre.
After about two or three crops the
land should be plowed up and after
one or two clover crops reset.

MOST NUTRITIOUS OF FOODS
Than Almost Any Other Vegetable
PLANT Good Supply.

(By r. W. THATCHER. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Dried sweet corn is one of the most
nutritious foods. Sweet corn is more
easily dried than almost any other gar
den vegetable For these reasons
very large amounts of sweet corn
should be dried this summer for use
next winter 1t can be planted on
small tracts or In large fields and is
one of the most easily cultivated gar
den crops.
For table use, small lots of quick
maturing varieties like the Early
Golden Bantam should be planted; but
for drying for q winter use, the larger
and heavier yielding sorts, as Coun-

Let everyone who has garden or
field available plant plenty of sweet
corn TO give a summer supply and

however, il is far safer to process them
both to insure sterilization and tight
seal. Process pints for 80 minutes at
simmering (S7 degrees Centigrade or
1SS degrees Fahrenheit).
Berry Jam.--In selecting berries for
jam the ripe, broken ones will give
fine color and flavor, but about one
half the quantity should be slightly I'M
derripe. This is necessary to give a
jelly-like consistency TO the product.
Cooking in small quantities also helps
to retain color and flavor. Weigh the
berries and allow three-fourths of
pound of sugar TO each pound of fruit.
Rapid cooking with constant care is
! essential.
Peach Jam.-TwO and One-Quarter
