Sweet corn should be
blanched on the cob, then the
kernels cut off and spread to
the depth Of about one-quarter
Of an inch upon the bottom Of
the drying frame.
Carrots, parsnips, and pota-
toes should be scraped and
sliced before blanching, then
carefully drained Of moisture
and placed in the drying frames.
Only very tender carrots should
be dried.
Squash and Pumpkins-Cut
into inch slices, peel off rind,
chop into pieces a inch thick.

Beans - Never dry tough
beans or beans with very much
string on the pod. Break off tip
ends, blanch, and dry whole,

tough, do not throw them away.
Hull them and dry the beans.
Peas-Hull before blanch-

drying peas you will have some
little peas and some big ones.
The little ones will shrivel up u;
the big ones won't. Sort the
peas. Put the big ones in one
tray and the little ones IN an
other tray. Five quarts Of peas
in the pod will be sufficient,
when they are hulled, to fill a

Cabbage should be cut IN
he same manner as for making
iraut before being blanched.
Do not cut off the outside leaves
unless they have commenced to
rot.
The process to be observed
n drying other vegetables and
fruits follows:
Beets-Do not blanch, as
launching causes them to bleed
and they loose some Of their
nutritive value. They should be
peeled, washed, sliced, and laid
in the frame to dry.
Rhubarb-Do not blanch.
Wash, drain, slice in small pieces
and dry. Rhubarb does not need
to be peeled if it is tender. In
vegetables, apples, and peaches,
the mineral salt and most Of the
nutrition are next to the peeling,
and if we peel them we destroy
some of these qualities.
Greens-Do not blanch. W.

CONGRESS VOTES FOR
BALLOTS FOR WOMEN
HAD JUST ENOUGH TO PASS
SOLID GEORGIA DELEGATION
WAS AGAINST 1T.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10
Woman suffrage by federal consti-
tutional amendment won in the house
tonight with exactly the required
number of affirmative votes.
By vote of 276 for to 1876 against
the house voted to submit the pro
posed amendment to the constitution
to the states for ratification.
All eleven of the Georgia congress
men were recorded as voting against
the suffrage resolution. There was no
representative to vote for the fourth
Georgia district, as Congressman
Adamson has resigned, and the cleo
ton to fill the vacancy will not &C.
cur until next Wednesday.
Two Sick Republicans Put 1t Over.
Republican Leader Mann, who
came from a Baltimore hospital,
where he has been under treatment
ever since congress convened, and
Representative Sims, of Tennessee,
just out of a sick bed as a result Of
a fall, and hardly able to walk to his
seat, brought the votes that settled
the issue.
There is considerable doubt of the
passage of the resolution by the SEN
ate, and hard fight is expected
there.

OFFICIALS THOUGHT FISH CULLS
WERE SOMETHING VERY FINE
Changed Their Minds, Somewhat,
When Letter and Invoice Came
After the Feast.


DECATUR, Ga.-Somebody in Mi
ami, Fla, shipped by express to
Sheriff J. A. McCurdy barrel of
assorted slabs of meat, sailed, and
the sheriff paid the express company
$3.50, thinking it was from a friend
of his, and he gave away a good deal
of the meat, and the judge and the
solicitor said it was pretty good, at
that, and the sheriff tried some, and
considered it pretty good, too.
And then along came letter from
the Miami Fish company and a bill
for Sits. The bill also said the
meat was part shark and part por-
poise. The letter recommended that
the sheriff try it on his prisoners,
saying it was being introduced as
better and cheaper meat than could
be had from anything else that wore
legs, feathers or fins.
Sheriff McCurdy now says it looks
as if somebody was rolling him, and
he'll be darned if he pays for that
shark and porpoise assortment, even
if it did taste pretty good.
