Miss Matte Dalton, Of The South

or girl in each division of Jackson
county that would write the best
and completest history of Jackson
county this year and to be entered

the Editor of the Berea Citizen is
lust in receipt Of the result Of said

county wide prize, which was won
over all other contestants, and this
paper takes pleasure IN printing this
manuscript in this issue of The Citi-
zen, as it is such fine piece of work
and probably the completest history
If Jackson county ever written by
any one and will be interesting news
to many who have lived in that good
county or who have an interest in

Miss Ona Reynolds, of Tyner, KY,
daughter of County Agent W. r.

HOME DEPARTMENT


Last week in this column we found
how to construct different types OF
driers. IL must now be emphasized
that the very best dry house canno,
I give perfect results unless the food
to be dried Is properly prepared
just as great care should be exer.
cised in the selection and preparation
Of food for drying as for canning
Too much Of the so-called "Bad Luck
in drying is due to carelessness in
this matter.
Vegetables should be blanched be-
fore dryirg-that is, after they have
been prepared in the usual way, place
them in a cheese cloth bag OF wire
basket and plunge into hot water.
This adds TO the cleanliness, helps
to set the color in such vegetables as
string beans, loosens the fibres in
woody foods or those containing much
cellulose removes strong odors and
flavors from certain others and coag /.
ulates the stsrtch in such as sweet
corn.
II is not necessary TO blanch fruit.
A cloth or paper should be spread
over the tray before placing on it
any food which contains acid. This
protects against poisoning which
might result from the contact of the
acid Of the fruit and the zinc or tin
of the tray.
The temperature should be rather
low t. prevert scorching. Different
temperatures are required for differ
ent foods and the length Of time
varies. The food should be turned
and stirred several times during the
process in order that it may dry uni.
formly.
When fruits are finished they are
Of leathery texture--not dry enough
to crackle but drv enough to spring
apart when tightly pressed together.
Vegetables must be drier than
fruits. and because OF this they will
he brittle and will crack when fin.
ished.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1921-10-20

A chart for preparing the most
common fruits and vegetables for
drying is given below:
Apples.-Pare and core. Slice in
rings OF quarter them. Arrange
in single layers on the trays.
Berries.-Clean carefully. Do not
bruise them. Spread on trays in
thin layers.
Cherries.-Wash-dry between tow
els. Spread in thin layers. To
remove seeds means loss Of Juice.

the proportion Of one-half tea.

Dry of surface moisture before
spreading on trays.
Garden Peas.-Shell and blanch for
three to five minutes.
Sweet Corn.--Use only very tender
corn. Boil CT steam on the cob
for six TO eight minutes. One tea
spoonful Of salt may be added to
each gallon Of water. Use a very
sharp knife. and cut the grains
only half way down to the cob and
scrape the remainder, being care

Carrots, Parsnips. Salsify-Clean,

Pumpkin and Summer Squash.-Pare

strips. Blanch ten minutes. Drain.
