Dry by a Fan

In the household which possesses an electric fan. the drying of small quan.i. ties of material can be easily done pro vided that special care be given the preliminary treatment of the products All that is necessary is to make trays of wire screening, with one end of each or preferably both ends open. The ma. terials to be dried are spread thiniy upon the trays. which are stacked one upon, another with the open ends turned toward tne fan and covered with cheese cloth, and the fan is placed close to the end of the stack and run at moderate speed, thus driving vigorous current of air over the material. Drying occurs much Ismore rapidly at the end nearest the fan, hence the stack must be re yersed after four to six hours and gain after longer interval.
 All materials requiring blanching that are to be fan dried should be blanched in steam or boiling water or serious de terioration is likely to occur. Also, since the rapid nnovement of air over the product has tendency to dry out the surfaces Of the pieces while the inner. central portions are still too moist, fan dried material should be placed in bak ing tins and placed in the oven of q warm stove to be finished. The door or the stove should be left ajar and the fire so regulated that the temperature is held at 15c to 160 degrees F. for two or three hours. after which--it should De raised to lS0 degrees F. for minute or two in order to destroy any eggs of fruit insects which may have been ie- posted in the material while exposed in the dries. After this treatment the product may be placed in permanent COZ tainers, but should be examined from time to time and returned. to the ove. for a short redrying in case any parte of it appear to be too moist to keep well.

taken to hold the back of the blade close to the skin. In lieu of the knife some butchers use a wooden stick shaped like a mans thumb and employ a knife only on the portions of the body mentioned.
 It is objectionable to have blood on the hides particularly in the summer time as it is likely to cause the hair to slip from rotting or decomposition when the hides are packed, and the placing of otherwise good hides In the No, grade on the market
 Care should be taken to avoid plac- ing any hides in the pack until they are free from animal heat Allow them to lie folded for from to hours, or sufficiently long to allow the am imal heat to get out of them. If this is not done, patches of decomposition may result and such hides are often reduced in market value at least a cent or more a pound
 In building up pack of hides the outer edges should be kept little higher than the middle, so that the liquid or brine formed by the dissolv ing of the salt in the natural moisture of the hides may be absorbed by them. If the pack is low on one side, or is buirtI slanting like shed roof, the brine will seep out causing the hides toNshrink in weight Use salt that has been screened and is free from large Jumps and dirt. Dirty salt will stain the fresh side of hides. One pound of salt to each pound of the hide is the general rule, Hides should remain in pack from IS to 30 days and stored in cool eco to 65 degrees Fahrenheitl eel lars from which the outside air is ex- cluded.

hauling and unloading Sweet potatoes should bs sorted in the field and gathered in padded baskets or boxes to prevent bruising or breaking the skin. The bas. ketS or boxes should be loaded on the wagon, kaued to the storage house, ana the potatoes carefully placed in the bins. When they are to be hauled very far, wagon witr- bolster springs should be used. Sweet potatoes should nevor be thrown from one row to another, loaded loosely into wagon body, or hauled in bags, because anyone of these pracuccs will bruise them and afford an oppor : tunity for disease to enter.
 The third and fourth essentials, thor lough drying and Ia uniform temperature may be secured in a storage house where artificial heat can be supplied The house must be constructed in such q way that it can be thoroughly. ventilated when necessary, and yet be made nearly air- tight in cold weather.
 A It is good economy to build substan- tial sweet potato storage house, because it will last longer and require less atten- tion than a cheap, poorly constructed one. It would be possible to keep the potatoes in a cheaper and less carefully con :. structed house, but the attention required and the addt tional fuel used would soon exceed the cost of the extra labor and material necessary for building the bet ter one. The chances of loss are .mucn greater in a poorly built than in we'll built house.
