however, only clean, sound fruit
should be used and it should be well
rpened, but not overripe. The grapes
should first be crushed and pressed in
an ordinary cider mill or by hand IL
no mill is available.
Red JuIce.-For red juice, the
crushed grapes are heated to about
200 degrees Fahrenheit before the juice
is separated from the pulp and then
strained through a clean cloth or drip
bag without pressure. Thereafter, the
process is the same as for light-colored
Juice.
Grape juice should be stored away
in bottles or jars that are not too large,
for after these have been opened the
Juice is likely to spoil. II properly
made, however, the juice should keep
indefinitely as long as it Is kept in
sealed bottles.
Strip Made From WindfalI Apples
and Apple Cider.-Add five ounces of
powdered calcium carbonate obtained
at any drug STOREY to seven gallons Of
apple cider. Powdered calcium car
Donate Carbonate of lime) or, to give
it is common name, precipitated chalk,
is low-priced and harmless. Boil the
mixture in a kettle or vat vigorously
for five minutes. Pour the liquid into
vessels, preferably glass jars or pitch
ers; allow to stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
liquid into preserving kettle. Do not
allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add
to the clear liquid one level teaspoon
fui of lime carbonate and stir thor
oughly. The process is completed by
boiling down rapidly to clear liquid.
Use density gauge or candy thermome-
ter and bring the temperature up to
220 degrees Fahrenheit. If thermom-
eter Is not available, boil until bulk is
reduced to one-seventh Of the original
volume. To determine whether the
strip is cooked enough test as for
candy--by pouring little into cold
water. If boiled enough it should have
the consistency Of maple strip. It
should not be cooked long enough to
harden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the strip
has been cooked enough, pour it into
fruit jars, pitchers, etc., and allow it
to cool slowly. Slow cooling is i'm
portant, as otherwise the suspended
matter will not settle properly and the
strip will be cloudy.

Various fruit juices may be prepared
In the home and bottled for future use.
Practically any fruit may be used in
the first recipe following.
SteriIized Fruit Juices.-The fruit
juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of cider press, special fruit
press, or other improvsed presses; then
heated in an acid-proof kettle up to
ITO degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit juice
may then be poured into ordinary hot
Jars, hot bottles, or tin cans, and ham
died by the same directions as those
for canning Of fruit itself. If poured
into miscellaneous bottles, it is sug-
gested that the fruit juice be sterilized
as follows:
Make a cotton stopper and press
into the neck Of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles in boiling hot water up to the
neck of the bottle, steriliZing the fruit
juice for 30 minutes at a simmering
temperature 065 degrees Fahrenheit).
Remove the product, press cork in top
over cotton stopper Immediately. If the
cork fits well, no paraffin need be used.
If poor cork, it may be necessary to
dip the cork in melted solution of wax
or paraffin. Fruit juices and apple
cider when handled in this way will
not "flatten In taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.

however, it is far safer to process them
both to insure sterilization and tight
seal. Process pints for 80 minutes at
simmering (S7 degrees Centigrade or
1873 degrees FahrenheiD.
Berry Jam.-In selecting berries for
jam the ripe, broken ones will give
fine color and flavor, but about one
half the quantity should be slightly I'M
derripe. This is necessary to give a
jelly-like consistency to the product.
Cooking in small quantities also helps
to retain color and flavor. Weigh the
berries and allow three-fourths Of
pound of sugar to each pound Of fruit.
Rapid cooking with constant care is
essential.
Peach Jam.-Two and one-quarter
pounds peaches cut into small pieces,
one pound sugar, six whole allspice,
one cracked peach seed, one inch gin
ger root, one-half cupful peach juice,
one-half teaspoonful whole cloves, one
teaspoonful cinnamon bark, one sprig
mace. (Tie spices in cheesecloth bag.)
Cook all together until thick as MARINA

Ounce Paste.-Three-fourt pound
powdered sugar for each pound Of
fruit pulp. Wipe the fruit, cut into

cook in water until very tender. After
rubbing the pulp through sieve,
weigh it and add the required amount
of sugar. 1t is then cooked until very
thick. Scalded and chopped nut ker
nels may be added. The pulp remain
ing after the juice has been extracted

Pear and Ounce Preserves.-For
pear and ounce preserves, use the
same proportion of sugar and fruit.
Cut the fruit into half-circle slices.
Cook the fruit until An"ost tender IN

ment of Agricultural
Jams are made of small fruits which
are not whole or firm enough to use
for preserves. No attempt is made
to retain the original shape of the
fruit, the finished product having a
uniform consistency. MarmaladeS have
more jellylike texture and thin slices
of the fruit appear suspended through
out the mixture. In fruit buffers and
pastes frequently less sugar is used
than in jams and the product is more
concentrated. COnserveS may be made
of large or small fruits, cooked in
the same manner as jams. Sometimes
nuts are added.
In stirring jams use a wooden spoon
or paddle, moving it across the CEN
ter of the vessel first one way and then
the opposite, and next around the pan,
gently moving the mixture from the
bottom of the pan, being careful not
to stir rapidly or beat. Cook the jam
to 105 degrees Centigrade or 221 de-
grees Fahrenheit, if a thermometer is
used.
If q cooking or chemical thermome-
ter is available more accurate results
can be obtained by its use. The prop
err condition of the cooked fruit can
be determined approximately, how
ever, without the use of such instru-
ments. For determining when they
are finished most jams may be given
the same test as finished jelly; that
is, when little is held moment and
cooled in a spoon, it will not pour from
the side of the spoon, but will fall in
sheet or flake. This is not true of
jams made of peaches, cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits not contain
ing pectin, the jellying principle. When
using such fruits, cook until the jam
is of the desired consistency.
Well-glaZed Theoretically sealed
stoneware jars with capacity Of eight
oTncas md up, are suitable and at
tractiye containers for packin jams,
marma,ades, etc. Largs-Eecked DO
ties, glasses: etc.. also may be used
and sealed with cork, paraffin, etc.
Jams and marmalades may be pack,
ed hot in sterilized jars, glasses or
Iarge-necked bottles, and sealed ''nnle-
diately. When packing for market.

And so successful has been the oper

that the railway is now electrifying
