FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
DRYING CONCISELY TOLD
Home Economies Expert Reviews
Government Bulletin.

review on the bulletin on drying
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture has
recently been made by Miss Hortense
White of the Utah Agricultural Col
lege Extension Division. This review
gives in concise form the many i'm
portant processes outlined in the bull
letin. II is designed to serve as a
handy guide for the homework in
drying fruits or vegetables. The re-
view follows:
Methods of Drying:
There are three principal methods
of drying: l. sun drying; 2. by ar
tificial heat; 3. by air blast.
The products should be SHREDDED or
cut into slices.
When they are dried by artificial
heat they should be exposed at first
to gentle heat and later to higher
temperature
Watch material in dryer very care
fully, using thermometer to avoid a
scorching temperature.
Material should be stirred several
times to secure uniform amount Of
moisture throughout the product. It
should be dried until no moisture can
be pressed out of it, but not until
brittle, only leathery and pliable. If
it is not sufficiently dried il will mold
Fruits dried in the sun are best
spread on large trays of uniform size,
so in case of rain they may be piled
on each other and easily covered.
Preparation of Food for Drier:
For shreding or slicing the follow
ing things can be used
/. Meat grinder.
2. Common kraut slcer.
3. Rotary hand slice.
4. Large sharp kitchen knife.
The vegetables or fruits should be
sliced thin so they will quickly and
Thoroughly dry through. One-eighth to
one-fourth inch thick, but not too
thin.
Vegetables should be fresh, young,
tender, and clean. Root vegetables
must be peeled before being sliced
Blanching is not essential to sue
cessful drying.
Reasons for blanching:
l. Removes strong odor.
2. Removes strong flavor
B. Softens and loosens fibers so
moisture will evaporate more uni
formly and quickly.
4. Coagulates protein which holds
in havors.
If blanching, do so for allotted time
drain, remove surface moisture by
putting between two towels, spread
in trays to dry.
Sun drying has the advantage Of
not being over-heated but the disad-
vantage Of being contaminated with
dust, flies and insects. These latter
lay eggs and hatch Larvae which rid
die the fruit.
Precautions against insects.

Apparatus for Drying.

For Sun Drying:
/. Trays made of galvanized wire
net with frame of lath. They should
be raised above the ground about
three feet.
2. Trays like No. | fastened to-
gether in tiers and suspended over
the kitchen stove and swung with a
crane of laths over the stove to utilize
the extra heat rising when cooking,
or swung out of the way against the
wall.
3. A galvanized sheet iron boxe
having wire net bottom, door at
one end, and ventilating space at
the top, also wire trays suspended in
it are supported on a flaring perfor-
ated base of same materials as the
box The box is placed on the stove
so the hot air can pass up through
the trays drying the fruit, and the
moist air passes off through the ven
tilating space at the top.
4. The cook stove oven may serve
as drier.
3. An electric fan may be used by
placing tiers of trays with closed
space at sides between them The fan
is placed at the end of the first tiers
and the air is forced over the trays

All fish sleep at more or less regu.
lar intervals, but they do so without
closing their eyes, and their slumber

disturbed than that of any other liv
ing thing

dusk or after dark. Caterpillars
Matched from these eggs feed on the
food, doing a great deal Of damage,
especially if stored in warm place,
as in a warm room, warm dark bins
or sacks. II is best to store dried
fruit IN small amounts, so if the lar
vaes get into one lot only one small
portion will be injured. To prevent
the danger of moths, schreen fruit
early in the evening with cheese cloth
of fly screen pressed down, or put
fruit and vegetables in tight paper
sacks in cool place. To further in
sure the dried food against moths,
when it is dry heat it in an oven f40
degrees F long enough for the heat
to penetrate. In drying by artificial
heat, store it at once as it is already
sterilized.
Directions for Packing, Storing.
Tin cans or glass jars are good re.
ceptacles for dried fruit, also paste
boarl boxes with tight covers, stout
paper bags with their ends doubled
over and tied. Dried food must be
kept from outside moisture. 1t will
keep best in cool, dry, well-ventilated
places. In humid regions moisture
tight containers should be used. If it
is not dried thoroughly it will sweat
and mold. Examine after "a hours of
packing. If it appears moist, dry
further.
