These eggs later will hatch out, and
the worms, or larvae. will riddle the
dried fruits or, vegetables, rendering
them unfit for the table.
Fruits and vegetables when dried In
the sun generally are spread on large
trays Of uniform size so constructed
that they can be stacked one on top OF
the other and protected from rain by
means Of a cover made of oilcloth, can
vas or roofing paper.
A very cheap tray can be made of
strips Of lumber three fourths of an
inch thick and two inches wide, which
form the sides and ends, and lath
which is nailed on to form the bottom.
Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be
left between the laths for ventilation,
and the trays can be raised off the
ground by placing them on poles or an
improvised trestle. AS laths are four
feet long, these lath trays are most
economical of material when made
four feet in length.
A cheap and very satisfactory drier
for use over the kitchen stove can be
made by any handy boy or carpenter
from a small amount Of small mesh
galvanized wire netting and number
of laths or strips Of wood about one
half inch thick and two inches wide.
The screen may be tackled directly on
the framework to make the drying
shelves, or the framework can be made
to support separate trays. BY using

How to Save Surplus Products
Of the Garden.
CHEAP AND USEFUL DR|ER

United States Department Of Agricul-
ture Gives Valuable Directions For
Conserving Food by Simple and In
expensive Home Processes-Differen
Ways Of Drying Food Products.
From United States department of agri-
cultured
Fruits and vegetables may be dried
in the home by simple processes and
stored for future use. The processes
are 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 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 prevent dry
ing 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 tempera-
ture the cut surfaces Of the sliced
fruits or vegetables become hard or
scorched, covering the Juicy interior
so that it will not dry out. Generally:
it is not desirable that the air tempera-
ture in drying should 60 above 40
degrees to 80 degrees F., and it is bet
ter to keep it we'll below this point.
Insects and insect eggs are killed by
exposure to heat of this temperature.
1t is important to know the degree
of heat in the dr1er, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by using thermometer The reason
sun drying is popularity believed to
give fruits and vegetables sweeter
flavor lies probably in the fact that in
the sun. they never are scorched, where
as in the oven or over a stove scorch-
ing 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 material should

be stirred or turned several times dur
ing the drying in order to secure a
uniform product.
When sufficiently dried fruit 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 80 dry that it will
snap or crackle. It should be leathery
and plable.
Preparation Of Food For tho Drisr.
In large factories the vegetables are
put through special shredders and slic-
.ers not adapted for home use, but
= convenient and inexpensive machines
which can be used to great advantage
are on the market. The meat grinder
with it's special disks can be used in
certain cases, the common kraut slicer
will cut large vegetables into thin
slices, such as potatoes and cabbage,
and the rotary hand slicer is adapted
for use on very wide range of mate
rial. A large sharp kitchen knife may
be used when handler cutting device
Is not available. Care should be taken
that the material is sliced thin enough
but not too thin. From an eighth to a
quarter Of an inch is a fair thickness
for most Of the common vegetables to
be sliced and dried.
To secure fine quality Of dried prod
ucts much depends upon having the
vegetables absolutely fresh,' young,
tender and perfectly clean. If steel
knives are used in pairing and cutting
have them clean and bright so as not
to discolor the vegetable. The earthly
smell and flavor will cling to root crops
If they are not washed thoroughly be-
fore slicing, and one decayed root may
favor several kettles Of SOUP II the
slices from It are scattered through q
whole batch Of dried material. High
grade dried root vegetables can only
be made from peeled roots.
Blanching Of vegetables is considered
desirable by some housekeepers. al
though It IL not strictly essential to
successful drying. Sun drying has
much to recommend It, since It re-
quires no expenditure Of fuel and there

kssplna Your Friends.

It Is almost impossible to be genuine
ly friendly with person who insists on
being too close to you, on knowing all
your thoughts. feelings and affairs and
on claiming your time and attention
on the excuse of affection alone.
The bonds of true friendship must
be easy, and its demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken sudden fancy TO you
is a blind and selfish egotist in mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but II
you are a polite aud courteous person
you bear with her until she directs her
attention elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are very
unresponsive." Some women clutch at
every new acquaintance and then com.
plain that they have so few friends.
The reason is that friendship is not
built on trivialitics and whims. but by
