Proper blanching Of the vegetables and some
of the fruits is one Of the most important
steps in the preparation before drying is
begun. Live steam is preferred to boiling
water for blanching most of the vegetables
because there is less of the mineral matter
lost. Corn on the cob, lima beans, tomatoes
and mature string beans are blanched in boil
ing water; while potatoes, beets, shelled peas,
parsnips, carrots, cabbage, caulilower, okra
young string beans and celery are blanched
over live steam. Onions and the fruits and
berries should not be blanched at all because
of the very large amount of soluble material
that would be lost
very simple way of blanchng by live
steam is to place the product in wire basket

TATING sweet corn and peaches is
r., not much of hardship, and sup
plemented with fresh fish, other
summer vegetables and fruits, eggs and
an occasional cheese dish, excellent
menus are possible and the absence of
wheat, meat and sugar practically
will hardly be noticed.
Meat is used but once during the
week, on Sunday, in the shape of praised
sweetbreads, and although at first
glance this may seem like a meagre al
lowance, remember we are almost in the
dog days" and apart from the question
of economy the family health will be all
the better for Il lighter dietary.
The recipes following the menus have
been devoted exclusively to corn and the
various uses of peaches, both of which
are now in the height of their season,
and particular attention is directed to
the Mexican rareoit (made with corn)
the peach potpie and the corn boats.
The ragout of eggs is made by pre-
pairing a pint Of we'll seasoned brown
sauce, using one teaspoonful of kitchen
bouquet, one tablespoonful of chutney
and one teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce. Heat to the boiling point, add
four hard boiled eggs, cut in quarters,
with one tablespoonful Of chopped pars-
ley. and simmer for four minutes

THREE CONVENIENT SETS OF

too, the fibre boxes can be opened in an off
hand manner-they are not sealed for keeps
like the canned goods and preserves, and small
amounts concentrated, remember) can be add
ed to box-whenever one likes
For this kind of drying the trays for the
oven of the gas or coal stove are the most
practical device of all A little more time
may be required, since the draft, with merely
the open oven door, is not so good as in
regular dryer; the difference is practically
negligible on small amounts, only half hour
or 80. The faster the moisture-laden air is
carried off, of course, the more quickly the
drying is done.
One Of these simple trays some squares of
cheesecloth and good vegetable sicer and
you are ready to pile up the concentrated dried
foods for the winter soup and casserole with
a minimum of time, trouble and expense.

13 by 10 inches, vertically supported in tier
formation by two inverted U-shaped supports

The apparatus is very convenient for oven
drying Of fruits and vegetables The fact
that the tiers may be either partially or COM
pletely folded makes it possible not only to use
the dryer in long, low oven, but also to fold
1T completely for storage when not in use.
When drying it is best to spread layer OF
cheesecloth over the metal bottom before the
blanched product is placed upon it, This helps
TO keep the trays clean and also prevents the
juicy fruits and vegetables from adherinQ to
the surface Of the rack The fruits and
blanchcd vegetables which have been previous

layer on the trays and drying is begun at

The juice drips through the cloth into bowl

juice may be placed on the seat of the chair
if the back on which the strainer is fastened
is not too high. Or it may be placed on the
kitchen table and the chair drawn up to allow
the juice to drip into receptacle placed on
the table.
The cheesecoth bag is adjustable and may
therefore be very readily removed and WASHED
or replaced by new one when worn out.
The device consists of a timed twisted win

admirable for this purpose. A perforated
double boiler is also convenient for small
quantities.
After blanchng the product should be
drained carefully before being placed upon
the dryer.
When loading the dryer the layers of the
vegetables or fruits must be uniform in thick
ness to insure regularity in drying. Most
products, such as corn, potatoes, turnips cab

beans, peas, carrots and celery may be spread
one-half to one inch deep on the trays, while
caulif1ower, tomatoes, and okra. apples,

spread in a single layer to be dried

vegetables and fruits vary greatly, ranging
from us to 100 degrees f., while the temper

are subjected varies from 1870 to 175 degrees

The temperature during the drying process
must be very carefully watched so that the

IN crisp, scorched product
Properly dried fruit and vegetables are not
crisp. They should be leathery and pliable,
and when the ends are cut it should be impos
slble to press out any moisture
After drying the product should be "cOnd-
toned for two or three days before storing
It,. This means the placing of it in containers
and stirring two three times a day for
several days. 1t should then be stored in
insect and light proof containers.

STATES CONTROL GRAZING LAND
Have That Authority, Declares Justice
Brandeis in Supreme Court Opin-
ion Recently Handed Down.

Declaring the absolute right of the
state in effect, to control all grazing
on the public lands within its borders
reversing all previous opinions gen.
orally held by those who live in the
range country-Justice Brandeis has
handed down an opinion of tremendous
Importance and one likely to change
entirely the present aspect of the range
stock industry. Justice V~andevanter
and Justice Reynolds dissent from the
Brandeis opinion.
The case is one brought from the
state of Idaho, wherein Il sheepman
resisted what is known as the two
mile law" enacted by the Idaho legis-
lature in 1887. prohibiting sheep from
grazing within two miles of ranges
previously occupied by cattle"
The gist of the Brandeis decision is (:
THE police power of the state extends
over the federal public domain, at least
II there is no legislation by con-
gress on the subject.
Congress has not conferred upon
citizens the right to Craze stock upon
h public lands. The government has
merely suffered such lands to be so used.
1t is because the citizen possesses no
such right that it is held by this court
that h secretary of agriculture might,
iii the exercise of his general power to
regulate forest reserves, exclude sheep
and cattle therefrom."
Under this decision, state legisla-
lures can enact laws prohibiting the
ranging of sheep or cattle on any por-
ton of the public land areas and the
localized fights for the range as be-
tween the two industries may now be
brought to the floor of the state legis-
latures.
one beneficial effect of this deci-
sion, it has been pointed out, will be
that local legislators will now be able
to pass laws prohibiting grazing Dor
ders of a state by wandering bands of
sheep from the outside-heretofore n
source of annoyance to local stockmen.
Justice Brandeis points out that n
state has the authority thus to legislate
over the range areas as an exercise of
its police powers.
The frequent clashes between sheep
and cattlemen resulting from disputes
over h range We're cited as a condi-
ton demanding the exercise of such
power.
