In mahy parts of the country elder- ly persons, past their period of activ ty, are now derlving an income suffi- clent to pay taxes, ineurance and gen- eral upkeep of the home property from crops of nuts derived from trees which they planted during their younger days while iheir néighbofs were planting shade trees. - There are very few farms or city lotz in ‘the entire country which could not profitably Be planted to some kind of nut-producing trees. The income may not always be important, but whatever it is will' be clear gain. It costs no more to plant nut-bearing trees ‘than it does one that produces nothing but shade. Nut trees are com monly regarded as being glow in com- ing into bearing: The black iwalnut andl hickory are populajly regarded asbeing too slow of growth to develop into uasful shade trees during the av- erage lifstime of man. As a matter of fact, on the contrary, walnuts of ‘certain superior varieties now being propagated are so preco- ciaus as not infrequently to bear nuts while still in the nursery. In a number of instances from a peck to a half bu- shel of nuts have been borne by trees 10 ‘and 12 years oid. No exact figures 2s'to yields of-hickories are available but sume of ‘the varieties are bearing at from 12 to 15 years old.

It is not necessary to do 80 in order to conserve its fertiliz- ing_elements. The proper way is {o {use it as a top dressing and then par~ tially to cultivate it into the soii & the harrow, dise harrow or cultivator. It has also been demonstrated that greater results are obtained from the use of fresh-stable manure as a top dressing than by rotted amnure. The fertility in the manure is unavaila for the use of plants until decomposi- tion has passed its last stages. On land that is cultivated such decompos- ed elements are washed into and ab- sorbed by the soil and released to the soil by the rainfall. In this way none of the fertility is lost and the injury charged against wrong use of manure is entirely avoided. MUTTON CURED AT HOME AS GOOD AS PORK More. mutton would be consumed if farmers realized generally that cured and smoked mutton is as delicious as pork. At present, only 3.9 per cent. of the meat used in the United States is lamb or mutton. This is partly due to the fact that there is a popular im- pression among farmers that after a sheep is slaughtered, the only domestic use for the flesh is eating it.while it is fresh. As a consequence, the farm- er's family grows very tired of mutton before the carcass is consumed. For the purpose of fing of obviating this difficul al work in the curing and smoking of mutton has been done recently by the bureau of animal industry of the Unit. ed States department of agriculture, Those Who have been doing this work give the following directions for home curing mutton: The first essential in curing is to be sure that the mutton is thoroughly cooled. ‘The meat should never be frozen, either prior to or during the period of curing. The time to begin curing is when the meat is cooled and still fresh; the proper time is from 24 to 38 hours after killing. Because of the high shrinkage incident to curing, only large pieces, such such as legs ding some way ity, experiment- Another injury can be traced to| plowing manure under. Any mplant that became established in the soil Mutton may be cured by using any good brine formula,. but dry - cured meat is better for future use - than brine-cured and - requires less work. However, danger from rats and other vermin is less in the case of brifes ved meat. Both methods of curing e very successful if care is taken to e that each operation is executed properiy. Following is the method of dry:cur- g mutton advocated: For each 100 { pounds of meat use 7 pounds of salt, | 2 pounds of sugar or sirup, 2 ounces | saitpeter, 2 ounces red pepper, and 3 | ounces black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then rub the mixture well over the meat and pack it away in a box or on a ta- Dble. Allow one and one-half days' | cure for each pound of meat the pieces average. After the meat is cured hang it in the smokehouse. BREEDER.SOW. The sow chosen as a breéder should possess a strong constitution or she cannot farrow vigorous pigs, no-mat- ter what kind of boar she is bredto. Youns sows intended for breeding purposes need to Le well fed during the firsg eight or nine months of their lives. If they are stinted at this per- riod, no amount of heavy feeding la- | ter will induce them to make the eame growth. They must, however, be al- lowed plenty of exercise or they will become fat and lazy. MANSFIELD DEPOT Miss V. V.
