INFORMATION FOR
CANNING DAYS

There comes time when every
housewife meets the problem in fruit
preserving days of making the jelly
jell. Sometimes there is no difficulty
whatsoever The jelly is tender and
firm soon after it is poured into the
glass and, then again. there are other
experiences when the fruit juices re-
fuse to jell.
Did you ever stop to wonder what
1t is that makes jelly become firm?
Well this substance is pectin and pee
tin has failing for liking the fruit
that is not thoroughly ripe. That's
why" says Miss Dorothy Roberts of
the home economics department OF
the University of Wisconsin, 1.-THE
over-ripe fruit juices refuse to jell too
many times.
When Jelly Fails to JeIl.
"When the fruit refuses to become
firm when cool, the only thing to do
continues Miss Roberts, sis to add
pectin. This may be secured from

ton the house should be given thor

Gases, such as formalin and the va.
pors of benZine, napthaline, and CAM
phor are sometimes used, but are Of
little value. Insect powders, because
they are difficult to get into crevices,
are not effective.
Methods of Control.
Among the simple methods of con-
troll, however, perhaps the most eff
cient is a very liberal application Of
benzine, kerosene, or gasoline, intro
duced with small brushes or feathers.

crevices of beds, furniture, or walls
where the insects may have concealed
themselves. Not only is the Dashboard
Of the room apt to be infested with
them, but the picture molding and the
back of the pictures themselves may
furnish lodging for the pest. Corrosive
subllmate is also of value, and oil Of
turpentine may be used In the same
way. Hot water, wherever it may be
employed without danger to furniture,
is also an effective means Of destroy
ing both eggs and bugs.
Various bedbug remedies and mix-

Since the war came to Europe the
eyes Of the farmers, particularly the
dairy farmers, have been opened to
the distinct advantage derived from
the use of the motortruck over the rail-
road for the collection and delivery of
milk, writes Jack Brooks of England in
Dairy Farmer.
In the last few months the number
Of motor vehicles for the handling of
mill; by road has trebled, especially in
Britain, where the business Of produc-
ing milk for consumption by the pub
lie has outgrown every other kind Of
dairy enterprise by leaps and bounds.
TO the majority Of dairy farmers,
time means money, and experience has
proved that the saving Of time is one
Of the most appealing assets Of the mo-
tortruck's general efficiency in farm
ing work.
The British railroad companies
charge two cents gallon up to 80
miles and 8 cents a gallon up to 100
miles to transport milk from the dairy
farmer to the big milk depots of the
wholesale dealers in the various hooks
and crannies of the country. Empties
are returned to the farmer without ex-
3 ira charge. This is not excessive and
by actual comparison with the cost OF
: the motOrtruck is, indeed, slightly
cheaper. But there are several fac
tors inseparable from the total cost
of transporting this milk that are
not included in this fiat rate Of trans
port charged by the railroads. And
1t is these "extras" which, to the think
ing dairy farmer, mean just that diff
ference between a small margin and q
generous margin of profit.
Advantage Of the Truck.
For instance, the cost Of transport
Ing milk from one railroad station to
another does not include that expense
entailed in getting the milk from the
dairy farmers premises to the rail-
road station of departure. This may
be distance of one mile, or 1t may be
ten miles. Then there is the time
spent in transferring the "churns"
from the vehicle to the railroad trucks,
more time spent at the other end in
taking the churns out again, and the
possibilities of delays on branch lines
and the waiting on the platforms I'M
der a hot sun.

MEDIUM CAPACITY IN favor

List Of Logical Users Of Cars for

Much Time Saved.

A. J. Banta, Chicago manager of
q large sales company, has been work
ing on list of different kinds of bust
ness that can profit by the use of
trucks Of medium capacity, for in
stance in the neighborhoOd Of 5000
pound loads.
The average business house does not
have loads Of such magnitude as to
require much more than a 5000
pound capacity, according to Mr.. Ban
Ia, and he also finds one of this size
ls about as economical to operate as
one of smaller capacity and also that
the initial cost and upkeep is not ma

utility corporations, dairy concerns,
furniture dealers, contractors, fire de-
partments, coal concerns, the grocer,
the butcher, the baker, the light manu-
facturers and last. but by no means
the least, the truck farmer, are the
logical users OF trucks Of this size.

Undoubtedly, the greatest advantage
the industrial motor vehicle has to Of
fer over the railroad train in the ship
ment of milk is the avoidance of trans
shipment and the elimination of sew
eral landings. With the motortruck
the dairy farmer sends his milk di.
rect from the farm to the market. At
least four landings of the milk be-
tween departure and arrival are avoid
ed, and there is a resultant saving OF
time, labor and last, but by no means
least, the risk of damage. OF course,
the motor cannot compete with the rail-
roads over long distances, but since IL
costs as much to send a gallon of milk,
in Britain, 20 or 25 miles as to senc
it 30 miles by rail, and So or go miles
cost as much as 100, the use of the mo
tortruck for these shOrteEs distances
under each rate is to the fdrmers ad.
vantage.
Saving In Cost.
Looking into the cost from a com.
parative point of view, we find thatl
Thirty ''churns" shipped, say, q miles
cost by rail, 5000; by motor 1880.
The average churn FUSED on rail-
roads) holds II gallons. Thirty
churns would thus total 5000 at
two cents the gallon. A three-toE
motorrruck costs, on an average OF
1900 miles, $3.50. Fifty-feur miles al
% cents per mile gives the cost Of thu
trucks trip. Then the railroad is un
doubtedly cheaper, you say.
Yesi But what about the cost OF
shipping the milk from the farm to the
station, which is not included in the
railroad fiat rate? And the further
away you are from the station, the
greater the expense. And what about
the return journey? With the proper
type of truck, the empty churns can be
stacked in half the truck space, the re.
naming half being available for a load
at no additional cost. Even If the
dairy farmer does not in every case
wish to load up for his own purposes
his available body space OF the return
journey, he usually can utilize it fol
a load of his neighbor, which is prac
tically the same thing. No one knows
better than the dairy farmer just what
he can save by getting a return load
home at no extra cost.
