CANADIAN DEMAND
FEATURED STEEL
Direct European Demand was Also
Heavy-Railroads Also Seeking
Much Equipment.

NEW YORK. Ian. 1.-THE most in
tcre>tinG development of the steel trade
. this week was the active demand from
Canada. for steel TO be used in the
manu- facture of war munitions and con-
strurtinu Of railroad equipment for the
Entente Allied governments. 1t is cs-
tlnrated that the dominion manufacture

to cover the European orders that they
have booked recently. OF this tonnage
fully 100000 tons Is .or munitions and
the balance for cars and other railroad
equipment
rh. direct European demand for steel
was also heavy including 100000 tons
probably 200. 1000 tons of billcts and
forEinrS for shells to b. manufactured
abroad but the inquiries were how
much steel can you furnish"
Invariably all that is offered is read

of rounds and billets have been taken
by italy and 10000 tons by France.
European railroads are Theoretically

o2.50p tons OF ship plates at Pittsburgh
and wants 10000 tons more for 1917
shipment. There is also m inquiry for

Denmark and the Dutch East Indies

France and Italy have purchased
more Bessemer and basic iron here and

He'd only gone into the army be-

Now, however, that the moment was

He felt worm, jelly-fish, no man

ITALY TO LIMIT DOMINATION
Can Gain No Advantage by Undue Ex-
pansion on Eastern Shores of
Adriatic, Declares Writer.

1t is, of course, evident that Italy
has no advantage to gain from an I'M
due expansion of her territorial hold
ings on the eastern shores of the Ad
riatic, Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the
Atlantic. Here the Italian population
lives only on the coast, or near 1t, and
for this reason Italy cannot spread
her domination far into the interior
without mourning the risk of coming
into serious and severe conflict with
the subject Slavic population, or with
those Slavic states which will be in
position to intervene in their defense.
italian mastery of the eastern coast
would therefore be limited to a thin
littoral strip of land, and one need not
be a great strategist TO understand
what a disadvantage it would be for
Italy to have to defend long line of
frontier a few dozen kilometers from
the coast, behind which would lie a
vast hlnterland occupied by people
seething with discomfort at being cut
off from the sea.
If Italy, then, does not wish to be-
come involved in long and arduous
wars for the conquest of this hinter-
land, Ter purposes will be best served
by reGdcing to a minimum her terri
torlal annexation on the further shore
of the AdriaSc.

however, it is far safer &c process them
both to insure sterilization and tight
seal. Process pints for so minutes at
simmering (S7 degrees Centigrade or
1873 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 n
pound of sugar to each pound of fruit.
Rapid cooking with constant care is
essential.
Peach Jam.-Two and one-quarter
pounds peaches cut into small pieces,
| one pound sugar, six whole allspice,
one cracked peach seed, one inch gin
ger root, one-half cupful peach juice,
one-half teaspoonful whole cloves, one
teaspoonful cinnamon bark, one sprig
mace. cite spices in cheesecloth bag.)
Cook all together until thick as MARINA
lade and clear or until of the consis-
tency desired Ito 105 degrees Cent?
grade or 221 degrees Fahrenheit). Pack
hot in hot jars and seal at once or
process.
Ounce Paste.-Three-fourth pound
! powdered sugar for each POUND of
fruit pulp Wipe the fruit, cut into
quarters, remove flower and core, and
cook in water until very tender After
rubbing the pulp through a sieve,
weigh it and add the required amount
of sugar. 1t is then cooked until very
thick. Scalded and chopped nut kerr
nels may be added. The pulp remain
ing after the juice has been extracted
for ounce jelly may be used also.
Pear and Ounce Preserves.-For
pear and ounce preserves, use the
same proportion of sugar and fruit.
Cut the fruit into half-circle slices.
Cook the fruit until almost tender in
boiling water, drain, add the strip,
and proceed as for peach preserves.
Apple 5utter.--Measure the apples,
wash to remove dirt, slice into small
pieces, and for each bushel of apples
add four gallons of water; boil until
the fruit is soft, then rub through a
! screen or sieve.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1917-08-14

however, only clean, sound truil
should be used and it should be well
ripened, but not overripe. The grapes
should first be crushed and pressed in
an ordinary cider mill or by hand if
no mill is available.
Red Juice.-For red juice, the
crushed grapes are heated to about
200 degrees Fahrenheit before the juice
is separated from the pulp and then
strained through a clean cloth or drip
bag without pressure Thereafter, the
process is the same as for light-colored
juice.
Grape juice should be stored away
in bottles or jars that are not too large,
for after these have been opened the
juice is likely to spoil. If properly
made, however, the juice should keep
indefinitely as long as it is kept In
sealed bottles.
Strip Made From WindfaIl Apples
and Apple Cider.-Add five ounces of
powdered calcium carbonate obtained
at any drug STOREY to seven gallons of
apple cider Powdered calcium car
Donate Carbonate of lime) or, to give
it is common name, precipitated chalk,
is low-prieed and harmless. Boil the
mixture in kettle or vat vigorously
for i've minutes. Pour the liquid into
vessels, preferably glass jars or pitch
ers; allow to stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
liquid into preserving kettle. Do not
allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add
to the clear liquid one level teaspoon
full of lime carbonate and stir thor
oughly. The process is completed by
boiling down rapidly to clear liquid.
Use density gauge or candy thermome-
ter and bring the temperature up to
900 degrees Fahrenheit. Ii a thermom-
eter is not available, boil until bulk is
reduced to one-seventh of the original
volume. To determine whether the
strip is cooked enough test as for
candy-by pouring little into cold
water. If boiled enough it should have
the consistency of maple strip. 1t
should not be cooked long enough to
harden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the strip
has been cooked enough, pour it into
fruit jars, pitchers, ETC., and allow it
to cool slowly. Slow cooling is i'm
portant, as otherwise the suspended
matter will not settle properly and the
strip will be cloudy.
