Jars Of large whole fruit like plums.
Heat the strip slowly and boil gently,
skimming any scum that may rise. Do
not stir, but longer boiling will render
the strip heavier. II one likes a richer
fruit. This strip may be used for all
fruits. The amount of sirup will ad-

small fruits, being closely packed, take
little sirup; the larger. loosely packed,
take more strip and need more to

Ing material, and they also contain fat.
making an especially valuable food ad-
dition as an emergency food to substi-
tute for more expensive legumes. The
fact that they contain no starch makes
them a valuable food for people who
must be restricted In this food ele-
ment.
These beans will grow on poor, light.
sandy soil. which will grow no other
crop successfully. and IL the soil or
seed Is inoculated will produce a fine
crop Of food and leave the soil stored
with the valuable nitrogen which will
make other crops yield well on the
same soil. Where they are grown on
soil fit for corn they give heavy yields.
Where dried soy beans are available,
they may be used for baking, just as
the navy bean. and are much cheaper.
The green soy bean compares favora-
bly, with the lima beans and may be
cooked and served in the same man
ner.
With the Increase in acreage for the
coming season. We may expect to find
Al aDuuuhnCf VI tneSe DeanS Ut Ted-
sonable price. As soy beans take long
er TO cook than the navy bean they
must be soaked and cooked little
longer to soften before putting them
to bake. AS they lack starch, a little
-four may be added to thicken them, IL
desired.
A fireless cooker Is an economical
way Of cooking soy beans and when
the furnace is In use the bean pot may
be placed on the ledge OF the furnace
firebox. which makes a fine place to
bake them.
Soy bean meal is by-product Of
oil making. and will no doubt form a
valuable stock food when II comes into
more general use.
The soy bean Is sometimes called
togo bean. The fresh bean may be
canned for winter use, just as other
beans. Shell and put them into a jar
after scalding and chilling, add a half
teaspoonful Of salt to q quart jar and
fill with boiling water. partly tighten
the lid Of the jar, so 1t may be safely
lifted. and place In a boiler. cover with
water to the depth Of an inch and cook
two hours from the beginning Of the
boiling.
