LATE VARIETIES OF
FRUITS FOR DRYING
Apples Should Be Reasonably
Mature but Not Soft.
Care Should be Exercised In Picking
and Handling to Avoid Bruislng-
Get Peeled Product Into Evap-
orator Quickly.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Late winter varieties Of apples and
pears are best for drying because they
are sweeter than the early varieties.
Apples for drying should be reasona-
bly, mature but not soft, according to
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Handle with
care in picking and hauling SO as to
avoid bruising, as bruised spots be-
come discolored and must be trimmed
off to make an attractive product. Ap-
pies discolor rapidly. Preparations
therefore, must the made to get the
product into the evaporation as rapidly
as possible after it is pared. If a num-
Der Of people are doing this work, this
may be accomplished by dividing the
pairing, coring and spreading on trays,
so that an apple spends only two or
three minutes on the way from the
pairing knife to the drier.
If only one person is working, drop
the pared fruit either into cold water
or into a salt solution made by dis
solving one tablespoonful Of salt In
four quarts of wateS Do not allow
the fruit to stand in the water any
longer than is necessary, because the
water will dissolve the sugar and 9TH
er valuable elements and the apple
will absorb water, which will necessi-
tate longer drying in the evaporation.
Carefully pare and trim the product
to remove all discolored places. When
a pairing and coring machine is used,
the apples, before being placed in It,
should be worked over with knife
to remove all discolored spots.
Care should be taken when slicing
by hand to make the slices as nearly
the same thickness as possible. Three
sixteenths to one-fourth inch is the
best thickness. Apples may be quar-
tered or cut into eighths, but they do
not dry so uniformly or SO quickly as
the sliced rings. The rings may be
blanched in hot water or not as de-
sired. Spread the rings In single
layer on trays and place either in the
sun or in warm drier. Apples when
drying should be covered with muslin
or mosquito netting to prevent insect
infestation. A few minutes exposure
will often cause the products to be
infested.
Dried apples that are brown or choc-
olate colored from the discolorati0n
resulting from drying without blanching
possess as high nutritive value and
often have better flavor than the
more notwithstanding blanched prod
ucts.
Dried apples will not be brittle when
finished, but If handful Of the pieces
are pressed together they will feel elas-
tic and springy and will separate
promptly when released, leaving no
moisture On the hands. When one Of
the pieces is broken in two it should
not be possible to press moisture out
of the center.

penditures. At the end Of the month
or at the end of the year the total ex-
penditures may be quickly added up.
In order, however to know the totals
for each kind or class it will be nee
essary to make up monthly sum-
mary, in which the items will be dis
tributed in different columns by
classes. This extra work at the end
of each month Cor at the end of the
YEAR, may cause Encouragement and
neglect of classification, with the re-
suit that the greatest good that could
be derived from the records Is not re-
allied. -..r-
Under the second method, in addi-
| ton to being entered all together in
| one column, the items are classified in
separate columns. This method has
the same advantages as the first meth
cd and the additional advantage of
ALLOWING for the distribution of items
of expenditure to the proper classes
without the inconvenience of turning
to some other page. The distribution
may be left to moments Of leisure If
the housewife is busy at the time the
entry Is made. When the page is filled
the next page is begun, the top line
next to the heading being reserved for
the total carried forward from the
preceding page. The items may be
| totaled at the end Of the month and
these totals carried to the summary
page at the end of the book.
Kind Of Account Book to Use.
The kind Of book to use is not i'm
portant. An ordinary blank daybook
| or ledger book with stiff cover may
be bought at reasonable price. If
| the vertical rulings in the book do not
serve the purpose others may be in
serted with pen or pencil. A blank
book, with stiff, pressed paper cover,
- inches long and inches wide, with
"a spaces for items and containing 48
pages, is excellent for the purpose and
sells at retail for rs cents. With YER
teal ruling and headings inserted 1t
serves the purpose admirably. In or
der to eliminate the necessity of writ
ing the headings on each page, the
tops Of number of pages may be
cut off, allowing one set Of headings
to serve for all pages.
Accounts are sometimes kept in a
book having small pages, but small
page Is soon filled, is often crowded,
and the information is scattered over
too many for convenience in recording
and studying the expenditures.
Farmers Bulletin No. 964, EARN
Household Accounts" gives full direc-
lions for keeping such accounts, and
in 1t are to be found sample pages Of
different methods in use with classi-
fications Of expenditures. This may be
had without cost, by application to the

SEWARD Co. OIL & GAS
Co. SPUD IN THE TEST
Have Contracted With
Skaer to Drill Hole.
Work is Started

The Seward County Oil & Gas
Company well, nine miles north of
Liberal was spudded in Wednesday
and everything is in shape to COM
plete the hole in record time.
The company drilled a considera-
BILE distance sometime ago, but the
hole was spoiled, making it neces-
sary to start over. Consequently, a
contract was made with Mr.. Skaer
to take charge Of the work and he
has contracted to make the hole,
which is pleasing news to Liberal
folks as all have the greatest conf
dence in the ability of Mr.. Skaer.
He has drilled a number Of wells
and knows how it is done.
The starting of this we'll should
increase interest in the. Liberal field
as many oil men Of prominence have
pronounced the location good, and
there is little doubt but what oil
will be found in this we'll. The time
for doubling the possibility of the
Liberal field has passed and that the
Seward County Oil & Gas Company,
we'll is on such structure as to be a
good producer is conceded by the
best conformed oil men in the coun-
try.
The rig is in fine shape and every
thing necessary to be done has been
done to insure speedy work and
Skaer has a good crew of drillers
to make the hole.

U. S. LENDS BYERS'
RAILROAD 1881 900
Means Present. Mortgage. Will Be
Paid and Work Rsumed ON
Railroad

Granting of loan of 1881 900 to
the Wichita and Northwestern rail-
road was approved by>the Inter-
State Commerce Commission accord
ing to telegram received from
Chester I. Long, Cowan and Deputy
attorneys for the holders of the $3.50
900 mortgage held on 80 miles of the
road.
As the government does not allow
a loan without taking a first mort
gage, the approval according to c. I.
Depuy, means the present will be
paid off. Chester I. Long Of the le-
gal firm has been in Washington
several days and it is understood has
aided in securing the loan.
With payment of the mortgage,
$131 900 will be available to i'm
prove the road. o. P. Byers of Hut
Crimson is president of the railroad.
The above is taken from the Wich-
ita Eagle and will be good news to
the people of Liberal vicinity.
While it has been impossible to
get authentic information regard
ing the future Of the Kansas & Okla
homa railroad from Forgan to Lib
eral, we have it from party close tc
the inside that the granting of thi:
loan to the Anthony & Northern
will in all probability release enough
of Mr.. Byers' resources that he car
construct the X & o to the Kansas
line, at which time it is expected the
township and city funds will become
available to assist in finishing th'
road.

CITY TO DRILL ANOTHER
5OO-FOOT WATER WELL
Let Contract and Ma
chinery Now Being
Taken to Location

In order that the wAter supply Of
Liberal be sure thing, and that the
volume be ample at all times, the
! city council has let the contract fol-
another six inch well in all respects
similar to the one recently COM
pleted.
There was some doubt in the minds
of the councilmen as to the advisa-
bility of six inch well, but since
the completion of the first we'll these
are all dispelled, for the well is CIV
ing perfect satisfaction in every way
and the decision to drill another
was easily reached.
The location of the we'll will be
800 feet north Of the first one, and
work will begin at once. The ma
chinery for making the hole is here
and is being taken to the location.
The well will be drilled by the
same firm which made the first one,
and they will use rotary drill the
same as before.
Mayor Griffith is in receipt of a
letter from the company furnishing
the pump that it is ready for ship
ment upon receipt of shipping orders
This pump is an exact duplicate of
the one now working in the big we'll
and giving the best Of service.
Mr.. Griffith says that he is of the
opinion that the present well would
be sufficient to supply the town for
year or more, but that in the
event there should be trouble and
it would be out of comnisson for
week or more the situation would be
desperate, and that the council
deemed it advisable to have a two
unit plant and be on the safe side.
The consumption Of water is go
ing to be materially increased on
account of the paving. Since the
streets have been paved there is a
general movement in the direction Of
better yards and more trees and
these are going to require lot Of
water. It is for this reason that the
second we'll was deemed necessary
for a week without water during a
hot season would undo all the hard
work expended in beautifying the
lawns.
It is expected to have the well
completed by the first Of August,
and the pump will be here by the,
time the we'll is finished.
With the additional power to be
supplied by the new unit at the light
plant and the two big wells the water
problem is solved in Libearl for sew
eral years to come, and all that will
be necessary in the future is to drill
more big wells. The water question

MAKING BIC ADDITION
AT LIGHT MILL HERE
Installing Feed Mill to
Increase Output of
Mill Feeds

Another addition to the mill Of the
Light Grain & Milling Company is
under way this week.
This is being made to the big
elevator on the east of the main mill
building, and when completed will
house the new feed grinding machin-
cry purchased to increase the output
of mill feeds.
The company has been unable to
fill all the orders they receive for
mill feeds and realizing that the way
to keep business was in giving SER
vice decided to put in the additional
machinery necessary to handle all
the business coming their way.
The equipment is of the most
modern pattern and will give suffi-
cient additional capacity that they
will be able to handle all orders.
The company is gradually enlarg-
ing its territory and is doing a nice
business, helping to build up Liberal
while building for itself.
The commodious new office build
ing attests the success Of the firm
and they are keeping their products
up to the highest point Of perfection
that they may continue to expand.
They will manufacture a complete
line Of mill feeds, chicken and
dairy feeds and expect to make this
an important part Of their business
in the future.
