pits. but it is difficult to get them out
in cold weather, SO that when a pit is
opened ii is desirable to remove its
entire contents at once. For this rea-
son it is advisable to construct several
small pits rather than one large one,
and instead of storing each crop in
pit by itself 1T is better to place a small
quantity of several kinds of vegetables
in the same pit, so that it will be nee
essary to open only one bank to get
supply of all of them. In storing
several crops in the same bank it is
desirable to separate them with straw.
leaves, or other material. The veg
etables from the small pit may be
placed temporarily in the storage room
in the basement, where they will be
easily accessible as needed for the
table.

Dry by a Fan.

In the household which possesses an
electric fan. the drying of small guam
titles Of material can be easily done,
provided 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
materials to be dried are spread thin
ly upon the trays, which are stacked
one upon another with the open ends
turned toward the fan and covered
with cheesecloth, and the fan is placed
close to the end of the stack and run
at moderate speed, thus driving Wig
orous current of air over the material.
Drying occurs much more rapidly at
the end nearest the fan, hence the
stack must be reversed after four to
six hours and again after q longer
interval.
All materials requiring blanching
that are to be fan-dried should be
blanched in steam or boiling water or
serious deterioration is likely TO oc-
cur. Also. since the rapid movement
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 baking tins and
placed in the oven of a warm stove to
be finished. The door of the stove
should be left ajar and the fire SO
regulated that the temperature is held
at $50 to 100 degrees F. for two to
three hours, after which 1t should be
raised to $50 degrees F. for minute
or two in order to destroy any eggs OF
fruit insects which may have been de-
posted In the material while exposed
In the drier. After this treatment the
product may be placed IN permanent
containers, but should be examined
from time to time and returned to the
OVEN for a short redrying in case any
parts Of 1T appear to be TOO moist to
keep well.
