METHODSOFDRYING
Three Ways Applicable In Making
Dried Products.

tFrom FARMERS' BULLETIN sll. 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 a
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. II
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, and 1t Is better to keep it
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 thermometer. inexpensive
oven thermometers can be found on
the market, or an ordinary chemical

thermometer can be suspended in the
drier. If thermometer is not used,
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-
neved to give fruits and vegetables
q sweeter flavor lies probably in the
fact that in the sun they never are
scorched. whereas in the oven or over
a 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, it
can be determined easily by a 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 it should be SO dry
that it 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.
Evaporation Of Moisture.

tables are spread out they Immediate

ministers resident in Washington from
the countries with the United States
allied in the war were to receive hon.
orary degrees from Princeton Univer-
sity at a patriotic demonstration in
connection with the commencement ex-

be conferred upon George f. Hale. pres

The Washington party was due to ar
rive here about l o'clock this after
noon, and after luncheon at the home Of
President Hibben. the degrees were to
be conferred by Dean Andrew F. West
on the steps of the Nassau Hall. Later
there was to be an exhibition drill and
sham battle by the student soldiers and
exhibition flights by the aviation corps.
There were only a few alumni re-
unions this year. and those that were
held were quiet and unostentatious.
War conditions cut deep into the
program of the commencement. when
296 men were graduated. Many of the
degrees were conferred in absentia be-
cause the recipients are away in train
ing camps or in war service beyond
the seas. Many of the seniors who
were able to obtain furloughs were In
military uniform when they received
their degrees. which were conferred in

GERMANS NOT UNEASY
OVER U. S. PART IN WAR
Representatives of Press Told Ameri-
can Forces Should Be Treated as
Negligible Quantity.

COPENHAGEN. June 16. via London
Representatives of the German press
were told yesterday. at the regular
weekly press conference in Berlin. that
the arrival of American troops in note
worthy numbers in the European the
ater was to be expected only in 1913
The general staff lecturer also took
the ground that the American forces
should be treated as a negligible uuan-
tity in the general reckoning. owing to
the difficulties of finding sufficient tom
mage for transports alton and supply,
The suggestion was followed in numer-
Gus articles In the newspapers yester-
day and this morning.
The newspaper representatives also
were told that a new Russian offensive
was highly improbable. but that artil-
lery and aviation activity, and recon
noitering raids indicated a new French
offensive was in preparation. The
British also were certain to try their
fortune again, but no surprises in Of
fensive methods We're expected from
either the French or the British, and
the only variant from the earlier Of
fensives would be a change of geo.
graphical location.
Germany's situation was described
as absolutely secure and German vic
tory as certain owing to the relentless
working of the submarine. Heavy
estimates of French and British losses
were supplied to furnish announcement
to the readers. England's losses In
fifty days Of the spring offensive were
placed at 225.000 men from thirty-four
divisions engaged. The same propor-
tion was applied to seventy-two French
divisions. producing an estimate of
French losses of more than 100000
The correspondents were told that
the purpose Of the air raids on England
was to keep in the islands trained men
OF the aerial corps and guns for de-
also served to weaken the British Of
fensive by keeping from the front men
and guns required to arm merchant
men.
Another transparent piece Of propa-
ganda for the purpose of encouraging
the people Is seen in the Bucharest
story in regard to the Rumania grain
exports. These are described on some
days as SURPRISING the requirements Of
1O0.OOO.OOO persons. an assurance which
contrasts strongly with the official an
nouncement recently made in regard to
the necessity of reducing the amount of
bread supplied in lieu of potatoes An
other misleading pen trick is to de-
scribe the average daily exports in May
as exceeding those of May. 1915, when
huRanla was at peace, ignoring the
