HAIRY PERUVIAN HAS
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES
Should Not Be Confused With
Smooth-Leaved Variety.
Is Rapid Grower, Receivers Quickly
After Cutting and Furnishes More
Pasturage During Winter and
In Fall and Spring.

Peruvian alfalfa has decided advan-
tages over other varieties for those
sections of the United States where II
will grow, say forage experts OF the
United States department of agricui-
ture. This should he taken as apply
ing to the true or hairy Peruvian al
falfa and not to the so-called smooth
leaved Peruvian alfalfa. This later
name the specialists regard as unfor-
tunate. as IL leads TO confusion I'm the
seed trade and gives INSCRIPTIONS
dealers an opportunity TO make excess
sive profits on mixed seeds. The
Smooth Peruvian Is hardly distin-
guishable from common alfalfa"
The principal advantages of Peru
Wan as compared with common al
falfa are it's more rapid growth. quick
recovery after cutting, and ability to
grow in cooler weather, thus furnish
ing more pasturage during the winter
AMI in late fall and early spring.
The territory in which common al
falfa could be prontably replaced by
Peruvian includes comparatively
narrow strip down the Pacific coast
and along the Mexican bordcR and the
gulf. thence up the Atlantic coast to
the vicinity of Charleston, s. c. II
cannot be grown TO advantage where
the winter temperature falls below 10
degrees.
This alfalfa was first introduced
into this country by the United States
department of agriculture in 1899. The
earliest introductions were not per-
petuated, however, and it was not I'M
til 1903 that considerable efforts were
made to produce a supply of seed. The
subject of the Peruvian alfalfa indus
try is discussed in detail In depart
ment of agriculture circular 90.

IN DRYING CORN
Dried Vegetable Is Delicious, Re-
quireS No Cans and Is Easy
to Keep Stored.
QUICK WORK IS NECESSARY
Gather When Kernels Are in Milk
Stage, Before Glazing Has Begun
Dry Until Grains Are Hard
and Semi-Transparent.

A vegetable which. when dried, is
above criticism even by the most
critical, is corn. Other kinds of garden
products may or may not be liked by
many people, but dried corn is the
equal IL not the superior of canned
corn and can be used for practically
as wide variety Of purposes. The
following directions for drying 1t are
those advised by the United States
department Of agriculture.
Any of the varieties of sweet corn
having qualities desirable for table
use will make good dried product.
Corn intended for drying should be
gathered when in the milk stage, be-
fore glazing and hardening have be-
gun and when the corn is in an ideal
condition for immediate table use. 1t
should be gathered only as 1t can be
prepared for drying. as corn deterior-
ates rapidly.
Careful Preparation Essential.
Husk the ears and tr!A with a knife
30 remove any injuries. The silk need
not be removed, as il can be readily
separated from the corn after drying.
Place the ears i'm wire baskets or
wire-bottom boxes and plunge into
boiling water for s TO l. minutes, or
until the milk is set. a little salt may
be added to the water if desired.
Divide the corn into older and younger
lots before blanching, as the younger
ears require somewhat longer cooking
than the older ones.
After cooking, remove corn from the
water, allow it TO drain and cool
sufficiently to be handled and cut from
the cobs with strong, sharp knife,
taking care that none of the cob is

removed with the kernels. The glumes
or the hull attachments at the tip of
the grains are easily screened out
after the corn becomes dry. Spread
the kernels upon trays to a depth Of
one inch If drying is done in a drier,
or one-eighth to five-eights inch II the
corn is to be dried in the sun. Stir the
grains thoroughly several times dur

Sun Factor in Drying Corn.
1t is practically impossible to bring
corn TO sufficient degree of dryness
by the unaided heat of the sun. If
corn is dried in the sun 1t should be
finished by pouring into bread pans
placing i'm the oven of the stove, and
warming TO 100 degrees to 165 degrees
+. for two hours. Whether the dry
ing is done in the sun, In a coOk-stOve
drier, or in commercial drier, II
should be continued until the grains are
hard, semi-transparent, and will break
with clean, glass-like fractures If
crushed.
Before storing free the corn Of silks,
glumes. and bits Of cob. This may be
done by pouring the corn from one
vessel to another i'm strong draft.
When the corn Is dry, store in closely
woven muslin bags or heavy paper
bags. Tie tightly at the neck and
place within large bag, which also
should be tightly tied.
DO not allow the drying process TO
stop from the time It is started until
the corn is fairly dry. Corn is
product which contains considerable
sugar and protein. and IL the drying
process is allowed to stop bacteria are
apt 70 develop and souring take place.
Protect II from insects. If sun drying
is interrupted by cloudy weather u
showers, remove corn to the stove and
continue drying or the product may
spoil.

USE GREEN TOMATOES
TO MAKE MARMALADE
Recipe Given Out by Department

quarter cup sugar.
2ls lemons 40 ouncss).
Wash and trim tomatoes, cut into

careful 10 pick out all seeds). Add
strip and sugar. a small amount OF

tageouS: here, "a always, il renders
the sweet taste OF sugar less cIoying.
Boiling orange peel for n few min
utes I'm salted water prevents its
hardening later. when cooked in strip.
Heat slowly, stirring until well
mixed, then simmer gently until the
tomatoes are soft and the marmalade
has the consistency of thick. heavy
jam. This will require three To four
hours. There should be about one
pint of marmalade.
If caramel flavor is liked, the
heat may be slightly increased at the
very last so that the jam darkens ut
the bottom next the kettle; hut great
care must be taken not to overdo this
effect as the jam Is easily scOrched.
A somewhat different effect may he
obtained by chOpping the rind of
lemon and orange. At the end of the
long cooking process these bits OF
chopped rind seem much like chopped
nuts.
Orange flavor in preserves does not
last indefinitely, apart from the tang
of the rind. Consequently this mar
malade is best when only few days
or weeks old.

The bureau Inspector also reported
that week after the shipment of

chronic cougher-had died and the
younger stock was allowed to devOur
the carcass. Such a practice is re-
sponsible for a great deal of tubercu-
losls among swine in the United

the fact stated should cause any live
stock farmer who finds tuberculosis
among his hogs or whose shipments of
hogs are refused because of extensive

herd Of cattle tested promptly. Unless
the origin OF infection Is known and
removed, tuberculosis is liable TO run
