kettle and the mixture was cooked over
q brisk fire for about 45 minutes or un-
til the mixture was dark, rich and
thick. Then she poured it into clean
jam pots and covered with melted
paraff1n. A small amount of melted
paraffin is poured on as soon as the
conserve is put into jam pots. Later a
thicker layer is added. The first COW
ering while the conserve is boiling hot
keeps any bacterie in the air from fall
ing onto the jam itself.
Nancy learned that this conserve
nesded much stirring as it cooked, for
it is heavy and burns easily.

KINDS OF SKINS AND VALUE

Pelts of the wild cottontail rab- bits found in abundance in the Un- tied States, and of the wild hareS commonly called jack rabbits, are thin and poor in quality and prac- tically no use to the furrier. Every domestic rabbit skin, however, with the exception of those from the An gora, has commercial value regard less of size or color. Angora pelts have long silky wool instead of fur. and are worthless for furriers' purposes. The wool is used by some foreign concerns in making yarns and fabrics, but there is little demand for it in the United States. Angora skins shipped with other belts to raw-fur buyers are invari- ably discarded or destroyed.
 A large skin is more valuable than a small one and some colorS bring better prices than others. The most important considerations, however, are the quality and tex ture of the fur and the care given the belt after it has been remov- ed from the carcass. Other things being equal, white, red, and blue skins, in the order named are in greatest demand and sell more readily than others
 Pure white skins are preferable for the reason that they can be dyed light, dark or medium shades of any color demanded by the fur trade, and, with the exception of Chinchillas, they usually bring from 10 to 40 per cent more than other colors. Red and blue skins are dyed many of the more fash ionable shades and often are used in their natural undyed state; but grays, browns, spotted, silvers and

them from a beam or post away from rats, mice, or vermin. Durino the summer, or in warm climate, the skins should be well Sprinkled with flaked naphthalene or para dichlorobenzene and covered with paper. Skins should be disposed Of promptly. When they must be kept any length of time it may be nec- eSsary to repeat the application of the naphthalene. No salt or other curing agent should ever be placed on rabbit skins, for when properly stretched and dried they do not re- quire and other means of curing.
 SORTING AND GRADING
 If the best prices are to be ob- tained, rabbit skins must be care fully sorted and graded for quality, color, and size before being sold. No mixed shipments should be of fered, for if good and poor ckins of different sizes and colors are mixed, the entire shipment is usually ac- cepted at the price paid for the poorer quality.
 Raw-fur buyers usually grade rabbit skins as firsts, seconds, and thirds. Firsts and seconds are also divided into five classes, based on color: White, red, blue, Chinchilla, and mixed. Some furriers also grade firsts and seconds as large, med lum, and small. The white, red,

DRYING AND PRESERVING

To dry the skin, hang up the stretcher on which it is placed by the loop, in dry, shady place, where the air is circulating. A mod erately warm atmosphere iS best but not essential. Never dry pelt in the sun, as it is likely to be burned and it's value destroyed. All belts should be allowed to hang un- til they are thoroughly dry and until the fat, oily moisture on the skin side has disappeared, for pelts shipped when too green are in variably worthless when they reach the furrier. Even a small number insufficiently dried and packed with others will sometimes ruin the entire lot.
 Dried skins should never be plac- ed in pile, but instead should bo kept in dry, cool place until ship ment is made. The best way to keep skins from spelling at this time is to tie the top ends together in a bundle Of SO or less and hang

EXTENT OF THE INDUSTRY

Rabbit fur is used more extensive ly by the fur trade than any other kind. More than 100,000000 rabbit skins are utilized annually. Of this number, about 55.000,000, dressed and dyed, are made into fur gar nents and into trimmings for wo- mems coats, suits and dresses. The remainder. or skins not suitable for garments, are used as Things for mems and boys gloves and in the manufacture of felt, used chiefly for making hats. In separating the fur for felting purposes, the skins are cut into fine shredS, but these are utilized in the manufacture of glue.
 About 9S per cent of this enor- nous quantity of rabbit skins, val- ued at approximately $25, 5,000,0 ,000, is imported from Australia, New Zea- land, Belgium, France, and other foreign countries. The United States at present produces less than two per cent of the number required to meet the demands of the American trade.
 The quantity of rabbit skins used annually is steadily increasing. Many wild fur bearing animals are disappearing from different pdr's of the United States, and rabbit fur is being substituted in the manu- facture of garments previously made from more desirable skins Rabbit fur lends itself readily to imitation process, and American fur dressers and dyerS have mas tered so well the art of initiating other furs by modern methods Of olucking. sllearing, and dyeing that the pelt of the rabbit is being of fered for sale under a variety Of trade names and in many instances is replacing such costly and at tractive skins as ermine. seal, bea- yer, and leopard.

lessons its sales value. The flesh side of the pelt should be kept out and the fur turned in.
 TEC ielt should be placed on t.'c stretcher so that four legs are cn one side and the back on the other. When stretched with the wire in the middle of the back, the wire sometimes injures the most valuable part of the fur. The loop of the stretcher should project through the opening at the top of the pelt The stretcher should not be forced unnecessarily, as the spring in the wire will shape the skin properly. The pelt sometimes has a tendency to curl, but this can usually be pre- vented by dipping it in water be- fore placing it on the stretcher.
 After the skin is placed on the stretcher it should be carefully ex- amined to see that all folds and wrinkles are smoted out and that the bottom Of the skin stretches and dries flat. It is important that the piece of neck skin, or dewlap, at the top be pulled up and the skin from the forelegs strengthened out, so that these parts will not dry fast to the body of the pelt. It is well to inspect each pelt the second day and see that this is properly done.
 HOMEMADE STRETCHEES
 Wire Stretchers are practicable and can be made easily at little ex- pense. Starting at the middle of piece of Mo- 9-gauge steel-spring wire, about 60 inches long, wrap both ends in opposite directions around a smooth 2-inch pipe or round a piece of hardwood forming a 3-coil spring. The ends should be brought down within about "A inches of each other, so that the coil will have sufficient spring to stretch the skin porperly. If de- sired, the wire can be cut little longer and the ends turned up in- to loops, giving the stretcher fin ished appearance.

dark color.
 Chinchilla rabbit skins are used undyed, and as their color closely resembles that of the rare wild South American chinchilla, there is an increasing demand for them. They frequently sell for more than other rabbit pelts, but raw-fur buyers will not, so far as known, pay $5 or more a skin as has been stated by some dealers and promoters having stock for disposal
 KILLING AND SPINNING
 The easiest and most humane way of killing a rabbit is to dis locate it's neck with the hands or to stun it with a blow behind the ears with a small heavy stick, and then, with a sharp knife, to cut off the head or cut the throat at the jugular vein and let it bleed. In southern California, where rabbits are marketed by the thousands, the dislocation met bod is mployed. with one hand the animal is held by the hind legs or the skin on the back and with the other the head is grasped firmly, and then with a pull and a quick upward snap of the head the neck is completely dislocated at the point where it joins the backbone.
 The carcass is then hung by the right hind leg on a nail or hook inserted near the hook joint be- tween the tendons and the bone of the leg. When it is thus suspend ed, the head is cut off to allow free bleeding i'll order that the meat may have a good color. The tail, the two forefeet, and the left hind foot are next cut off at the first joint. In this operation care should be taken to work the knife through the joints so as not to cut the tendons or let the flesh slip down on the leg, and not to splinter the bone, which would make rough surface and detract from the appearance of the car caSS
 The skin is then cut around the hook joint of the right leg and pulled downward This loosened skin is next cut open on the in- side of the leg to the root of the tail, then up the inside of the other leg to the other hook joint. The skin of the hind leg is then taken in one hand, and with sharp knife in the other the fat IS carefully cut away before star ting to pull the pelt down over the carcass. Fat usually accumulates at the point where the hind legs join the body, and this should always be cut loose and left on the carcass, else it will stick to the skin and detract from it's appear ance and selling value. Fat left on the belts makes drying diffi- cult and sometimes causes fiat burns.
 The pelt is not cut open but is left cased, or whole, care being exer- clsed not to cut or damage the skin in removing it. Even a small cut in belt lessens it's sale value.
 STRETCHING SKINS
 A rabbit skin should be well cared for after it has been removed from the carcass, for the finest relt can be made worthless by improper handling. It should be placed on a wire stretcher immediately after it has been taken from the animal and while still warm. If allowed to lie and become cold the skin con- tracts and hardens and when dry will show wrinkles or creases. This

fore placing bets. But insofar as
the general public is concerned
the information which comes from
polls taken for gambling purposes
is far from reliable.
Democrats of the state are still
more or less at outs over the pro.
posal for early conventions. The
Roosevelt supporters want it to
place this state in the front ranks
of those indorsing for the New
York governor. On the other hand
will be found those Democrats who
feel that Roosevelt has not as yet
shown the necessary strength to
assure himself the nomination, and
hence this state should go slow.
1t is an open secret in democrat
ic ranks that AL Smith and Gov.
Richie of Maryland are becoming
close political til1icums, and that
does not bode well for Roosevelt
who Is unable to muster the re-
lquired two-thirds vote ON the first

centering around the congressional
