harder. aside from preserving it sweet
IL must cook a little while after adding

use should TO either kept in n tight
earthen jar or a tin bucket with y

tainted. put the lard into an iron kc-
tie and cut up salt pork in thin slices
about one-half pound If pork to a gal
lon of melted lard; add two spoonfuls
of salt, and let il cook till the pork is
crisp; take out the slices Of pork and
turn the lard into your jar. and You
will never know that it has not always
been sweet. But il is better to salt in
the first place, rs it saves much trouble

such fertilizers should he To supplement

profitable. There are MANY eases. espc-
cially near cities. where everything de-
ponds upon getting the largest and best
Weld. where more exclusive use OF
chemical fertilizers is advisable. Either
the combined testimony of many ex-
periments and the best experience are
totally false or chemical fertilizers

crops than farm Farmers
cannot afford to use commercial fertil-
izers at random. and it is time they
understood the reason why. The right
materials in the right places bring large
profits. Artificial fertilizers rightly
used. must prove among the most potent
means for the restoration Of our agri-
culture. The only way to find out what
n soil wants is o study it by careful OBJ
servation and experiment.
