MAKE FRUIT BUFFERS
WHEN YIELD is GOOD
Recipes Given Have Been Tested
by Specialists.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There Is no better way to use good
apples and the sound parts of wind
falls and wormy and bruised apples
than to make them into butter. Pears
and plums also make good butter, and
peach butter is unusually sppetizing.
While apple butter is usually made
with cider, using gallon for gallon Of
peeled and sliced apples and cider, 1t
may be made with water only, or with
other favors. The following recipes
have been tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture and are rec
commended.
Apple Butter With Grape Juice.
To each gallon Of peeled and sliced
apples, cooked into thin apple sauce
and strained, add one pint Of grape
Juice, one. cupful of brown sugar and
one-Quarter teaspoonful Of salt. Cook
slowly and stir often for two hours, or
until Of the desired thickness; then stir
In one teaspoonful Of cinnamon.
Apple Butter With Lemons.
Slice four lemons, cover with water
and let stand over night. Next morn
ing put them in preserving kettle
with eight pounds Of apples. pared.
cored and sliced. Cook for one hour;
add three pounds Of sugar and cook
slowly, with frequent stirring. one and
one-half hours longer, or until Of the
proper thickness.
Apple Butter With PIums.
An exceedingly rich and snappy but
ter is made with apples and plums. Use
one measure Of plums to two measures
Of peeled and sliced apples. Wash and
cook the plums and rub through. a
strainer or colander to get out the pits.
Cook the apples Into sauce, add the
stewed plums and continue cooking an
hour or two until Of the right consist
ency. When two-thirds cooked, add
two pounds of sugar per gallon. When
finished, used spices and vanilla ac-
cording to taste. A good proportion Is
one-half teaspoonful each of ground
cinnamon, cloves and allspce. and
from two to four teaspoonfuls Of
vanilla per gallon.
Pear Butter.
Pear butter is made like apple but
ter without the cider. Use pears ripe
enough to cook up well. Peel, core and
slice them; put in preserving kettle
with little water and cook slowly un-
til soft. Then add the sugar, .one cup.
full to one quart Of sliced pears, and
continue cooking very slowly, with fire.
quent stirring. for one and half to
two hours. The butter should then be
smooth and Of the consistency Of thick
apple sauce. Stir into the hot butter
a little lemon juice, with cinnamon.
ginger, or other spices to taste. Pack
while hot In hot sterilized containers
and cover with paraffin, or process in a
hot water bath in sealed containers ten
to twenty minutes.
Peach Butter.
Put the peaches in a wire basket and
dip them in boiling water few Sec
onds, or until the skin slips. Dip them
in cold water, peel them and pit them.
Well-ripened freestone varieties are
best. Mash the pulp and cook IT in its
own juice, without adding water. II
It is rather coarse 1t may be put
through sieve. To each measure or
pound Of pulp add half-measure or
half-pound of sugar, cook slowly and
stir frequently until the product Is Of
the desired thickness. The sugar may
be added before cooking begins, II de-

Drill two holes in the upper spring

The position Of the slot for the

A row of these sockets can be made

changed to shade down, and pro-
visions varying from loo decline to
like advance.
An increase of 2,909 900 bushels of
wheat today in the United States Wis
ible supply although about as gem
orally expected, served to emphasize
the fact that domestic receipts of
wheat in the west were nearly three
times as large as they were a year
ago, and that the season was at hand
for heavy Argentine offerings. The
market influence of the threatened
French occupation of the Ruhr val
ley was largely nullified by word
that the French government had I'M
der advisement an alternative choice
outlined by Secretary Hughes.
The only important upturn Of prices
took place shortly after the opening
and appeared to be due chiefly to
transient speculative buying based on
estimates that 100000 bushels of
wheat for shipment to Europe has
lust been purchased in the southwest.
A slight rally in the final trading
was ascribed to reports of poor crop
conditions in Kansas.
Corn and oats were governed by the
changes in wheat.
Weakness of the hog market was
reflected by lard values, but ribs

COTTON HAS DAY
OF NERVOUSNESS;
EASY UNDERGONE
BY Associated Press

NEW. YORK, Jan, Nervousness
over European political conditions
was supposed to account for the re
strieted volume of business in the
cotton market here today and the ir
regularity of fluctuations. Early de-
clines were followed by rallies. how
ever, and whole the latter were not
fully maintained, the market Showed
steady at net declines of 1S to 10
points March sold up from 26.35c to
26.56c and closed at 2649e, compared
a fairly steady undertone, closing
with 26.67c at the close of Saturday.
The market opened easy, 20 to 80
points lower owing to relatively easy
early cables from Liverpool and the
weak ruling of the early market for
foreign exchange, which naturally
served to emphasize the unsettled
state of affairs in Europe. There was
considerable scattering liquidation
and some southern selling, which soon
sent prices off to 26.52c for May and
about rs TO 80 points below Satur-
days close on the more active po-
sitions Trade buying, presumably to
fix prices, checked this decline dur
ing the middle of the morning AMI
there were rallies early in the after
noon owing TO the steadier ruling of
the late Liverpool cables, encourag-
irg British trade advices, continued
reports of strong domestic market
for cotton goods and bullish spot adj
vices from the SOUTH The rally car
ried May up to 26.73c, but this bulge
met further realizing or liquidation
and later fluctuations were irregular
with last price some 5 to points off
from the best.
The official cable from Manchester
to the New York Cotton Exchange
said that a fair business was doing
in yarns and that cloths were IN
good demand and one of the private
cables received from Liverpool late
in the morning said it looked as if
the European political situation had
been discounted by early continental
selling. Part of the days business
here was attributed to further even
ing up of accounts pending more
settled conditions abroad Exports
for the day were 1885 bales, making
2, 943.705 so far this season. Port re-
ceipts, 33.623. United States port
stocks, 1.013,3S2.
