cut off pieces of the cob. Spread thin
ly on trays, and place in position to
dry. Stir occasionally until dry.
(b) Boil or steam on the cob eight
to ten minutes to set the milk. To
improve flavor teaspoonful of salt
to gallon of water may be used.
Drain well and cut corn from cob,
using very sharp and flexible knife.
Cut grains fine, only half way down
to the cob, and scrape out the re-
mainder of grain, being careful not to
scrape off any of the chaff next to the
cob. Dry from three to four hours at
40 degrees to 145 degrees Fahren-
heit. When field corn is used, good.
plump roasting-ear stage is the proper
degree of ripeness. A pound of dried
corn per dozen ears is an average
yield.
(c) The corn may be dried in the
sun. Dry in oven ten TO fifteen min

the greatest care should be given to
the regulation of the heat. The tenn
perature in the drier rises rather
quickly and the product may scorch
unless close attention is given. The
reason sun drying is popularity be-
Heved to give fruits and vegetables
sweeter flavor lies probably In the
fact that in the sun they never are
scorched, whereas In the oven or over
stove scorching is likely to occur
unless careful attention is given them.
Drying of certain products can be
completed in some driers within two
or three hours. The time required for
drying vegetables varies. However, 1t
can be determined easily by little
experience on the part of the person
doing the drying. The material should
be stirred or turned several times dur
ing the drying In order to secure a
uniform product.
The ability to judge accurately as
to when fruit has reached the proper
condition for removal from drier can
be gained only by experience. When
sufficiently dried 1t should be so dry
that 1t is impossible to press water
out of the freshly cut ends of the
pieces and will not show any of the
natural grain of the fruit on being
broken, and yet not so dry that it will
snap or crackle. 1t should be leathery
and pliable.

METH0DSOF DRYING.
Three Ways Applicable in Making
Dried Products.
SHRED OR CUT into SLICES
When Artificial Heat Is to Be Used,
Freshly Cut Fruits and veoeta-
bles Should Be Exposed First
to Gentle Heat

tFrom FARMERS BULLETIN s41. United
States Department of Agriculture)
Three main ways of drying are ap-
plicable in the home manufacture of
dried fruits and vegetables, namely,
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying by air blast. These, of
course. may be combined. In general,
most fruits or vegetables, to be dried
quickly, must first be shredded or cut
into slices, because many are too large
to dry quickly or are covered with
skin, the purpose of which is to pre-
vent drying out. When freshly cut
fruits or vegetables are to be dried by
means of artificial heat. they should
be exposed first TO gentle heat and
later to the higher temperatures. If
the air applied at the outset is of too
high temperature, the cut surfaces
of the sliced fruits or vegetables be-
come hard, or scorched, covering the
juicy interior so that 1t will not dry
out. Generally 1t is not desirable that
the air temperature in drying should
go above 40 degrees to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, ard 1t is better to keep 1t
well below this point. Insects and in
sect eggs are killed by exposure to
heat of this temperature.
Degree of Heat
1t is important to know the degree
of heat in the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by using a thermometer. Inexpensive
oven thermometers can be found on
the market, or an ordinary chemical

On the battle front in the region Of
St Quentin there have been only ar
tillery duels between the French and
German forces. On their part of their
line the British have captured two vii
lagos northeast of Peronne. Here the
Germans suffered heavy casualties by
being caught in their own wire entan-
clements and raked by the fire of the
British machine guns. Additional gains
for the British east and northeast OF
Metz En- Couture are also chronicled
by the British war Office.
Probably the most momentous opera
ton has been that on the Russians who
driving from Persia, have captured the
Mesopotamian frontier towns OF Khan
ikan and Kasrichrin and Joined hands
with the advance forces Of the British
coming up from Bagdad. The Turks,
however. are making a stand against
the Russians in this region to prevent
I them from crossing the Diala river
