As soon as the home garden begins

plans to can or dry the extra mate

The United States Department Of
Agriculture suggests that vegetables
and fruits can be dried In an oven, in
trays or racks over the kitchen stove,
or In a specially constructed drier. Of
such a size that 1t can be placed on
the top of an ordinary wood or coal
range, or owe q kerosene stove. These
driers hold a series Of small trays on
which fruits or vegetables are placed
after being prepared for drying. Port
able outdoor evaporators are especial
ly convenient when It Is desired to dry
as much as ten bushels Of fruit or
vegetables per day. They are usually
constructed Of wood except the parts
In direct contact with the heater. The
homemade dry kiln used In some sec
lions Of the country can be cheaply

Stories about Joe Cantillon and the

A few seasons back Joe had the an

After the game, In the clubhouse, Dave
was angry. He went up TO Joe and
said 'Look-a-here, either Murray has
TO 90 or I 90"
'"Well, what can / do?" rejoined Joe
I'm not president of the league and
can't fire umpires"
well, l don't care I'm going to
pack my stuff Either that umpire goes
or l GO I mean that"
"Well, If that's the case" replied
Joe, who was never at a loss for a
word, Murray stays, He wins game
for US once in a while"
This crack so crushed Dave that he
packed his stuff and left the park.
Joe opened the window and stuck his
head out as Dave was leaving. SAY,
Dave. you had better leave your stuff
az the drug Sore. for You know your
wife will make YOU come back"
Sure enough. the next morning Dave
was out for practice as if nothing ever
happened.
