it cai easily be determined by a

order to sere a uniform product
It is important to know the
temperature of the hat in the

ed very accurately except by
using a thermometer. Inexpen

found on the market, or an ordi

thermometer is not used the

nary wood or coal range, or a
kerosene stove. These driers
hold a series of small trays on
which fruits or vegetables are
placed after being prepared for
drying. Portable out-door evap
orators are especially convenient
when it is desired to dry as much
as ten bushels of fruit or vege
tables per day. They are usually
constructed of wood except the
parts in direct contact with the
heater. The homemade dry kiln
used in some sections of the
country can be cheaply and easily
made of brick and stone.
If drying is done in a cook
stove oven, leave oven door ajar.
Note temperature of oven often.
Trays for use in the oven can
be made by using a convenient
sized piece of galvanized wire
screen and bending up the edge
1 or 2 inches.
DRIED VEGETABLES
Equally as great care should be
given to the selection and pre
paration of vegetables for dry
ing as for canning. To secure a
Ane quality of dried products
much depends upon having the
vegetables absolutely fresh,
young, tender and perfectly clean.
Wash all vegetables and clean
well. If steel knives are used in
parring and cutting have them
clean and bright so as not to
discolor the vegetable.
After vegetables are prepared
properly they are blanched. The
blanch gives a more thorough
cleaning, removes the strong
odor and flavor from certain
kinds of vegetables and softens
and loosens the fiber. This allows
the moisture in the vegetable to
evaporate more quickly and uni
formly. It also quickly coagulates
the albuminous matter in the
vegetables which helps to hold
in the natural flavors. Blanching
consists of plunging the vege-
lean. Remove surface moisture
according to directions given
above. Young string beans dry 2
hours, more matured lans 3
hours, liegin drying at a tem
perature of 110" F. and raise
temperature gradually to 143 F.
Wax beans are dried in the same
manner as the green string beans.
LIMA BEAN'S. Lima beans
can be shelled from the pod and
dried. If gathered before matur
ity, when young and tender,
wash and blanch from 5 to 10
minutes. Length of time for
blanching depends upon size and
maturity of bean. Remove sur
face moisture and dry from 3 to
3 J hours at same temperature for
string beans.
DRY SHELLED BEANS. Dif
ferent kinds of beans, after ma-
turing and drying on the ines,
can be treated as follows; shell, i
wash and spread in thin layers
on the trays of the drier and
heat 10 minutes, beginning at
1W F. gradually raising the 1
temperature to 180" F. This high j
temperature will destroy all in
sect eggs that might be on the
beans. Cowpeas or any field pea
can be treated in the same way.
Cool and store carefully. It might
be added that the heating of the
bean or pea destroys its vitality
and thus treated cannot be used
for seed purposes.
GARDEN PEAS. When drying
the very young and tender sugar
peas use the pod also. Wash and
cut i inch pieces, blanch in boil
ing water 6 minutes, remove
surface moisture, and dry the
same length of time and at the
same temperature as string
beans. It is not necessary to use
soda when blanching peas.
The garden pea, which has a
non-edible pod, is shelled and
blanched from 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove surface moisture, spread
in single layer on trays and dry
from 3 to 34 hours. Begin drying
at 110 F., raise temperature
very slowly in about 1 hours to
145 F. Continue drying 1J to 2
hours at 145 F.
SWEET CORN. Select very
young and tender corn, and
prepare at once after gathering.
Boil or steam on the cob 8 to 10
minutes to set the milk. To im
prove flavor a teaspoonful of salt
to a gallon of water may be used.
Drain well and cut corn from
