wife. Sun drying. 2.-Drying
by artificial heat; 3.-Drying by
air blast. The first two are more
commonly used. especially among
rural women.
Preparation OF Food for Drying
When food is prepared for the
dried 1t may or may not be blanched.
If blanched, follow the directions CIV
en- in the canning bulletin. The ad-
vantages of blanching are that 1t re-
moves the strong odor and flavor
from certain kinds of vegetables, and
softens and loosens the fiber.
Vegetables and fruits should be
sliced or shredded so that they will
dry quickly. This may be done by
means of meat grinder, common
kraut slicer, rotary hand slicer, or
large sharp kitchen knife. If the
freshly cut fruits or vegetables are
to be dried by artificial heat, they
should be exposed very gradually 30
that the cut surface will not become
too hard or scorched. The tempera-
ture should not go above $50 de-
grees F. This temperature is suf-
ficient to kill all insects or insect
eggs. During the drying process the
material should be stirred frequently
so hiatt a uniform amount of mois-
ture may be secured throughout the
product. 1t should be removed from
the drier when 1t is tough and leath-
cry, not brittle. In testing berries,
they should leave no moisture when
pressed In the hand. If the product
is taken from the dried too soon 1t
will mold. After drying all vegeta-
bles should be conditioned" This
is done by placing the material In
boxes and pouring 1t from one box
into the other. This is done fire.
quently for several days until the
whole mass has an even degree of
moisture.
Methods OF Storing Products
The dried product can be stored
III glass Jars, iii CdHs, VI stOul paper
bags with their ends doubled over
and tied.
Apparatus for Drying
For sun drying there are many
kinds of trays that can be used. They
may be made of a frame OF lath coy
cred with galvanized wire net. The
trays should be raised at least three
feet above the ground. This drier
may be used for stove drying also.
The lath should be well protected SO
that 1t cannot be burned by heat of
the stove Several tiers Of these
frames are used for stove drying.
Electric fans are used for the dry
ing done by the air blast method. The
tiers are closed at one end and the
fan placed at the open end.
U. S. Bulletin No. S41 will be
found very helpful in providing In
structions for drying vegetables and
| fruits.

bers of the county farm bureaus. New
York farm bureaus now have a men,
bership roll Of $500, with an aver
age membership OF nearly 900.
The nominal membership fee OF
500 is not primarily to provide
funds. but to secure the active In
terest of each member. Each men,
Der should not only give his moral
support to the work but also take
leading pert in the activity of the
farm bureau. He should keep In
close touch with the work In progress
and assist in making plans for the
coming year. He must work with
the officers and committeeman to
represent the farm bureau In his
community, and thus make the work
truly cooperative and truly county
wide.
Farm Bureau Gets Everyone to Do
ing it
Our Idaho farm bureaus are TAX
Ing leading part in working out
some of the larger agricultural prob
lens OF the state. In every county
which has farm bureau. county
wide campaigns for the control of
such pests as crickets, grasshoppers,
jack-rabbits and ground squirrels are
being carried on with great success
The Fremont County Farm Bureau
has demonstrated that the cricket,
so destructive to crops in past years
can be controlled. In Power, Frank
lin and Kootenai counties most sue
cessful warfare has been waged
against ground squirrels and other
rodents. In Canyon and Ada coun-
ties the farm bureaus have been sue
cessful in assuring the erection OF
more silos as means of reducing
the high cost Of feeding and making
possible the continued growth OF the
livestock industry. In these two
counties thousands of cattle, too,
have been vaccinated as preventative
measure against black-leg. In Lewis
county, the Farm Bureau is demon
strating most successfully that the
great smut problem may be control
led and reduced. In the potato grow
ing sections, the farm bureaus are
taking a leading part In solving the
problem of disease eradication and
in the improvement and STANDARDIZED
ton of potatoes. The Franklin coun-
ty farm bureau saved its members
several thousand dollars last winter
in purchasing feed during an emer-
gency. Every section of the state
gives similar reports of success In
meeting the various farm problems
through concentrated action on the
part of these organizations. Special
note must be made just now Of the
success of the various farm bureaus
are meeting in handling the farm
labor question.
Sixteen Farm Bureaus Since 1916
The following counties now have
farm bureaus: Ada. Bingham. Blaine,
Bonneville, Canyon. Franklin. Ere
mont, Cooling Kootenai, Lewis, Lin
coin, Madison. Minidoka, Power,
Twin Falls, Washington. In addition
Jefferson, Bear Lake and Bonner
counties are ready to organize as
soon as funds become available. In
the light OF this progress 1t is safe
to assume that the majority OF the
agricultural counties OF Idaho will
have we'll organized farm bureaus in
the near future.

,PURE3RED MALES ARE IDEAL
No Excuse for Using Anything but
Boar of Highest Gua!ity--5e Care
fuI OF His Disposition.

Since purehred males are plentiful
ana reasonable in price, there is no
excuse for using anything but q pure
bred boar. The purebred male will
transmit his own qualities with greater
certainty than one that is not pure,
and will get pigs Of more uniform
quality and excellence; so that it pays
to use a purebred boar even for pro-
ducing meat on the farm or for mar
ket.
Before buying it is necessary to have
in mind the ideal type of boar wanted !;
then it is well TO buy the nearest
thing to the ideal, or the best that
can be afforded. One should never
let a few extra dollars on the price
stand in the way when good boar is
found. The fact that boar should
come from & strain which produces
large numbers of pigs should not be
overlooked.
If an aged boar is to be selected,
the disposition should be noticed, and
one that is vicious or tries to break
out of lots and pens should be avoided.

FOWLS in VIGOROUS HEALTH
Bright Fed Comb, Clear Eyes and AP-
pesrance o. Alertness Are to Be
Sought For.

The successful experienced poultry
man only needs one glance at your
pen of chickens to enable him to make
a good estimate as TO the health con-
dition of your flock.
A bright red comb, clear eyes and
an appearance Of alertness, is seldom
seen except when a chicken is enjoy
ing the best of health. Occasionally
it is true that hens which are overfat
and in danger of apopleXy may carry
with them good health certificates
which are not deserved.
When the comb turns from its nat
.ural bright red color to purple, or an
even darker shade, the cGretaker may
expect ptoInaine poisoning or other
form of poisoning. indigestion or liver
trouble, and If the comb assumes q
light color, except when the bird is
molting, the poultry man should eS-
pect bowel trouble or tuberculosis.
One cf the first things the beginner
should study is tie appearance OF
health or disease as Indicated BY the
appearance Of the comb, eyes, car
.riage and attitude Of his birds when
in vigorous health, and when out of
condition.

LIME GOOD FOR VEGETABLES
Particularly Beneficial to Eeets, Can.
teloapes, CucHmbers, Cabbage
ard CaulifioWer.

Recently there was developed new
interest in the use of lime. Our soils
have become more sour than they
were when our ancestors used lime,
because we have been using CONNER
cial fertilizers, which have, as rule,
q very souring effect. The most natu-
raj question to follow is: "To what
vegetable crop should apply lime for
the greatest net returns?"
Recent investigations show that tie
crops most benefited are such as Deets.
cantaloupes, celery, cucumbers, onions,
lettuce, spinach, cabbage and cauli-
flower. Many others are helped some,
while some few may be injured. One
Of the greatest benefits from the use
Of lime is it's wonderful benefit to the
soil improvement crops such as clo-
vers, soy beans, vetch and grain cover
crops.
The truck farmers and market gar
deners throughout New Jersey are
buying more lime than usual, accord
ing to the New Jersey State Agricul-
tural college. The application Of lime
Is very beneficial to many marketable
crops, but one Of its great values Is
realized in an indirect way, namely,
from the increased growth obtained in
the clover crop, especially in the cnse
Of legumes. Furthermore, lime in
creases the organic activity Of the soil,
and makes available much plant food
which the roots otherwise would not
be able to obtain. Loose soil is made
more adhesive, and sticky soil Is loos-
ened up. In short, lime is an excel
lent soil conditioner.

APPLY MANURE FOR TURNIPS
Fertilizer High in Phosphoric Acid
With About Per Cent Nitrogen
Is Recommended.

Freshly manured land is especially
likely to produce maggoty turnips, and
for this reason most turnip growers
do not apply manure directly previous
to the growth Of this crop, but depend
upon the supply of accumulated plant
food in the soil and commercial ferti-
HZer.
A fertilizer high in phosphoric acid,
with about 8 per cent nitrogen, should
be used at the rate of at least 1000
pounds per acre.
Fertilizer recommendations for par
ships and radishes are the same as for
other root crops.

the barn. Throughout the winter
there are days when both men and
teams can work profitably in the forest
and tie bulk of the cutting should be
done in the winter, but the cutting up
of the tops and the burning Of the
brush may be done most easily after
the snow has disappeared.
By thus balancing the work Of the
farm, the woodlot can be greatly i'm
proved in productive capacity and in

Members Of the New York A. c. and
their guests, all to the number Of
thirty-fve, digested the Thanksgiving
turkey yesterday az the Trayers Island
shooting box by rafting off the biggest
event of the season so far. The race
was $50 bird handicap, with two divi-
sions-that is, high scratch gun and
a high handicap gun-up for discus
sion.
Ideal shooting light prevailed, and
this, coupled with the fine weather, put
the gunners on edge, with the result
that there were ties in both divisions.
Those who wound up level in the
scratch gun department were Conrad
Stein, G.. II. Lawrence, A. p. Bennett,
G. II. Martin and A. L. Burns. To de-
eide the tie an extra race Of twenty-five
birds was ordered, and the gunners
finished in the order named.

Indian Summer

Indian summer is not alone of senti-
mental interest; it is of real economic
Importance. In the northern states,
the short springtime gives too little
time for the necessary plor Ching, and
it is necessary TO plough in the fall.
Land p,oughed in the fall can hardly
fail to produce greater crops the fol-
lowing season. Trips the past week on
the railroads running out Of Chicago
in every direction showed farmers
ploughing with feverish haste. Now the
horses seem TO enjoy the work and the
plough share turns a mellow soil to the
air. This is the period of mending
fences, cleaning drains. burning rub
bish, cleaning the fence corners, TO
make ready for the onrushing spring
time. A anket of warmth covers and
protects and prolongs the grain ripen-
ing period. In these days outdoor work
is a delight.-1mericdn steel and Wire
