DRYING VEGETABLES.
How to Preserve Thorn Successfully
by New Method.

How to Preserve Thorn Successfully
by New Method.
Mrs. III. B. Fullerton and Mrs. Nellie
F. Snyder, two experts on canning and
preserving, have prepared the follow
ing formula, for drying fruits, vege-
tables and other food products:
Begin the temperature for small
fruits and corn low, at 100, and gradu-
ally increase to 175, being careful not
to burn. For all other fruits and vege-
tables start at IT'S, work downward and
close at 1OO.g
In average climates eight to twelve
hours will be required, but where the
moisture isc great or much dampness
prevails longer time will be required
for drying. Usually 1t takes from eight
to ten hours to dry perfectly. Then the
products should be thrown together,
away from the heat, and stirred occa
sionally to go through a sweat, so to
speak, and then placed in paper cartons
and kept in a dry place.
Here are directions for caring for in
cubators: ,.....
After the Matching season is over for
chickens do not let incubators remain
idle, but make extra trays, have the
doors partly open and use them as dry
ers.
Sun drying can be done in the old
fashioned way, but will take from three
to five days longer in ordinary climates
near the water. During the close of the
last period stir and let 60 through
sweating

LOVE LINKED WITH DEATH,
IN Tucopia Girls Propose Marriage and

In Tucopia Girls Propose Marriage and
Must Die If Rejected.
In the Pacific ocean between Fiji,
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent Of Australia lies the Melane-
sian group OF islands, where heed hunt
ers and .cannibals abound. Although
strange and grewsome are many OF the
customs of the tribes, there are some
that are most romantic. For instance.
on the island of Tucopia the women
propose marriage instead Of the men.
When girl Of Tucopia sees man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not rush
up to him and ask him to marry her
On the contrary, she gives the subject
deep thought and often the man most
careful investigation before she pops
the question" The reason IL that his
answer spells life or death to her
1t is a tribal law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore woman asks
u mans hand only when she feels sure
that his answer will be the happy one.
Many are the strange and seemingly
incxplicable questions with which the
women Of Tucopia ply the stranger.
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back Of the solicitude Of the dusky
bellies who inquire If he Is married or
not and the state OF his wife's health.
Romances are consequently very apt
to turn out in happy marriage.
But there have been innumerable ill.,
stances when poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms, has been com
ptiled to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen IN love has
had to refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women Of Tucopia
Is sign Of beauty, and never until she
Is bald does Tucopia woman become

The rose slug in the fly state is shiny
black, about Il fifth Of an inch in
length. usually found on the under side
5of the leaves or flying from bush to
bush. About the 1st Of June the first
young slugs hatch and increase during
the month. They are pale green, al
most transparent and feed on the
leaves, which look as If they had been
burned. Dry slaked lime scattered
over the leaves while they are wet
with dew is said to be effective. Syring-

NOT TO BLAME FOR DISASTER
Crew Of Fast Mail, It Is Claimed,
Should not Have Accepted Order
As Given

CHARTER OAK, a., Aug. 21-The
recent near wreck of a fast freight
train and the fast mail on the Mil
waukee railroad near Ute, which was
only prevented by the quick action
of the station agent at Ute, assisted
by two farmers who tagged the train
with lanterns, has aroused a decided
ly lively controversy among railroad
men generally and those interested
persons particularly, as to RESPONSE
bility for the near catostrophy.
The operator at this point upon
whom published accounts of the mix
up place most of the responsibility
for the near-accident, insists that
blame for the sending of two fast
trains toward each other rests equally
upon himself, the train crew of the
fast mail, the dispatcher at Sioux
City, and the operator at MapletOn.
The Charter Oak operator says
that the train order should have read
that third section of No. G1 would
meet No. 20 at Ute, and freight at
Smiths Siding, but by leaving out
two words it made the order read that
No. 81 would meet both eastbound
trains did not forget 10 deliver the Sc

but delivered the Only order that
came to him from the dispatcher. The
order delivered to the conductor was
improper and should not have been
accepted by the train crew, is the
claim made.
