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

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
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. APP
Piles discolor rapidly. Preparations,
therefore, must the made to get the
product into the evapOrator as rapidly
as possible after it Is pared. If 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 salt solution made by dis
solving one tablespoonful of salt in
four quarts of water. 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 evapOrator.
Carefully pare and trim the product
to remove all dlscolored places. When
pairing and coring machine is used,
the apples, before being placed in it,
should be worked over with a 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 discOloration
resulting from drying without blanching
possess as high nutritive value and
often have a better favor than the
more attractive-looking blanched prod
ucts.
Dried apples will not be brittle when
finished, but If handful Of the pieces
are pressed together they will feel elias
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 1t 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 (Or at the end of the
year, may cause discouragement and
neglect Of classification, with the re-
suit that the greatest good that could
be derived from the records is not re-
allied.
Under the second method, in addi-
tiOn 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 filed
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 a 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,
II inches long and inches wide, with
"a spaces for items and containing 48
pages, is excellent for the purpose and
sells at retail for % cents. With ver-
tical 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
70 serve for all pages.
Accounts are sometimes kept In a
book having small pages, but a 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, Farm
Household Accounts" gives full direc-
tlons FOR keeping such accounts, and
in it 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

IMPORTANT AID TO ECONOMY
First Step Toward Saving Usually Lies
In Finding Out Where Unnecessary
Expenses Are lncurred-Two
Good Methods.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Household expenses on the farm
are very intimately connected with
the business of the farm itself. The
farm normally supplies much material
which otherwise would become a
household expense. The household, in
turn very often furnishes board for
farm labor, which would otherwise be
d farm expense. Merely from the
standpoint of keeping track of house
hold expenses as related to the farm
business, household accounts are de-
Slrable and should serve to supple
ment and round out farm accounts.
But the value Of household accounts
goes beyond this. Such accounts are
an important aid to economy. A dol
lar saved is a dollar made, and the
first step toward the saving usually
lies in finding out where unnecessary
expenses are incurred. This can be
determined only by keeping careful
records Of expenses for the whole year.
Methods Of Keeping Records.
There are two general methods of
keeping a record of household ex-
penditures. One is to record the pur-
chases or money paid out, without
classifying the expenditures. The 9th
er is to classify when the record is
made.
The first method is very simple, re-
quires no special form, and gives all
necessary information regarding ex-
