Weve worked thumb-printin- g MANY LIKE THAT winter apple grower. son may not find the fruit grower so rushed as in the midst of spraying or harvesting the crop, but still there are things which must be done. One of the most Important jobs Is removing surplus trees. These trees include neglected apple trees in fields or fence rows, trees which never receive any spraying or pruning, and as a result are an excellent breeding place for insects and diseases of all kinds. They constitute a menace to commercial orchards in the vicinity. In some orchards, filler trees were planted and the trees have now grown so large that the main crop trees are being crowded and shaded. These filler trees should be removed as soon as they are large enough to begin crowding. Pruning is another dormant season job for the fruit grower. As much money is wasted by poor pruning as is gained by good pruning, but this only serves to emphasize the importance of pruning properly. Another job for the dormant season trees of poor varieties is which are more popular on the market. This Is a much quicker way of changing varieties in the orchard than cutting down the old trees and planting top-grafti- new ones. Some of the most valuable winter orchard work is of the easy-chai- r type. This work includes starting an orchard account, to reckon costs of production, as well as profit and loss; planning the years program of pest control, sales, and storage; reading up on recent experimental results; and attending meetings of fruit growers. hay-maki- s. itutes farm.

The shoots, some 12 or 14 inches tall, are then ready to feed dairy cows or' fatten bullocks, and this process is repeated the year round. It Is claimed that 36 crops can be raised in a year, and 40 of these cabinets In a barn will yield about 4,320 tons of fodder, enough to feed 1,200 head of cattle. The crops, It is said, are free from contamination, and as the fresh green shoots have a high vitamin content cattle benefit considerably. It Is proposed to set up a chain of depots in the principal agricultural areas of the country. Rendering Lard The leaf fat makes the best lard Back fat and fat trimmings also make a good product. The intestinal fat makes inferior lard, and should never be mixed with the other, as it would give the better lard an offensive odor and flavor. It should be rendered used for soap. Remove and separately any lean meat from fat to prevent scorching. Cut the fat in pieces one inch square. Put in a kettle with a little water in the bottom to prevent the fat from burning before the grease comes out. Cook over a moderate fire, stirring frequently to prevent sticking to the kettle. When the cracklings are brown and light enough to float remove the kettle from the fire. Press out the cracklings and strain lard through a muslin cloth into clean cans or Jars. Stir slowly as it cools, as this tends to whiten it, and makes the lard finer and more uniform in texture.

This breed was imported into England and the United States about the year 1870 and has been widely distributed over the civilized world since then. Crosses were made with Aylesbury ducks to increase the size, improve table qualities and add vigor to the strain. The standard Pekin of today Is the result The Pekin has a moderately carriage with round, plump, full breast and body. The rear part of the abdomen is rather flat, having the appearance, especially in the female, of having been pressed up by a mold and held there. The main tail feathers of both male and female have a tendency to turn up at the points. The bill, shanks and feet are a deep yellow or orange and free from dark markings. upright Planting the Hotbed OF QUALITY For best results when planting seed In a hotbed the seed should be sown in rows about four to six inches apart In planting be sure that only four or five seeds are used to the inch, as closer planting will result In crowding. In growing plants in hotbeds especial care must be given to watering and temperature. Too much water Is worse than too little, so In watering the plants apply Just enough to thoroughly wet the soil. Temperature, however, is of prime importance and should be regulated so that the hardy plants, such as cabbage, lettuce, and onions have a day temperature of and a night temperature of from 50 to 55. Warm season crops require temperatures of ten degrees higher. 60-6- 5 remain on membranes of the throat for prolonged effect. Remember.
