PEACHES

Before preparing fruit make sirup
(three pounds nine ounces sugar to
one gallon Of water or five pounds,
eight ounces sugar to one gallon OF
water), allowing about one cupful Of
water for each quart jar. Put in one
cracked peach pit for every quart OF
strip. Boil sirup for five minutes.
Strained honey or other sirups can be
used in place Of part Of the strip
usually required.
Sort the fruits, using firm, sound,
uniform peaches for canning and put
ting aside the soft broken ones for
jam. Pecling may be done by i'm
mersing in boiling water about one
minute or until skins slip easily. Re
move, plunge for a minute into cold
water, and Slip off the skins. Cut into
halves and pack at once in previously
boiled tars, placing the halves in over
Iapping layers, the cOncaVe surface of
each half being downward and the
blossom end facing the glass. Fill each

Firm, perfect peaches may be f0ated
in boiling water for about 20 seconds
after being peeled. They are then cut
in halves, seeds removed, and packed
as indicated above. Peaches floated in
this manner are made more flexible
and pack to better advantage. They
also become mellow, absorb more

Not only in this period of war is in
creased production Of essentials nee
essary, but producers must be aided
as far as possible in producing substi-
tutes for those supplies demanded for
the support of the American armies
and their Allies in Europe.
That the big expOsitions of America
are invaluable for reaching the pro
ducers is a fact recognized by the
American and Canadian Governments
early in the WA period, and that is
why both Governments are strongly
cooperating with their agricultural
fairs.
Records for 1917 show that over 3d.
100000 attended fairs in the United
States alone, and among those who
attended the fairs were a large per-
centage Of producers of America.

Agriculture is sending to the Wiscon-

will occupy oyeH 5000 square feet Of
space with educational features.

Why Patronize Fair?
Nowhere in America can 50 much
along educational and inspirational
lines be obtained at so small an out
lay as can be obtained at any Of
Americas worthwhile fairs.
Every basic department Of the Wis
consin State Fair Is built along up-to-
date educational lines, and every de-
part1nent is full Of inspiration for
those interested.
No 1913 fair win present q better
array Of tractors and machinery than
will be seen at the Wisconsin State
Fair. All Of the space in machinery
row and in the tractor section was
taken before June is. TWenty-six
tractor companies will make exhibits
and also will demonstrate in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the fair grounds.
Scarcity Of labor IS serious prop
lem to producers. In Machinery row
will be shown the products Of inYen-
tive genius and manufacture along
agricultural lines that viii take the
place Of the farm hand now doing his
bit on the western front.
Every cooperation is given makers
of machinery in providing displays
that will be worth a journey from any
corner Of Wisconsin.
Machinery row will be an exposition
Of all the best machinery that is
available on the Wisconsin market,
and the exhibitors are those not afraid
to show what they have to offer in
competition with other makers Of ma
chinery.

Because of the war, building appro-

and buildings has been confined to

tenn, painting buildings and repairing
