School Luncheons.

A statement by a Government ex-
pert concerning the food value of nuts
is q boon to mothers who must provide
children with lunches to take to
school. According to this expert, one
pound of nut kernels is equal in food
value to one pound of wheat flour,
and, generally speaking, nuts are not
indigestible. If they appear SO, 1t Is
because they are eaten either irregu'
larry between meals or topping a
heavy meal when the stomach Is not
in proper condition to handle any
hearty food. Used as a substitute for
other food they give no bad results I'M
der ordinary circumstances.
Furthermore, the housewife Will re-
fleet. nuts as food are valuable from
the fact that they require no cooking.
Also, they are easily carried and chill
dren like them-two points OF impor'
lance to the conscientious mother,
who, putting up school lunches, finds
commonly that her dietary theories
require something like a steam-boiler
and a horse and wagon to complete
the operation; then when this health
food is laboriously compounded and
duly conveyed to little Johnny, for
soothl he loatheE 1t and slyly substl-
tutes green cucumber pickles and
cream puffs purchased at the lunch
counter just around the corner from
school.
All healthy children will eat nuts,
especially peanuts, which the Govern
ment expert assures US are so nutri'
tious that one quart is equal in food
value to pound of rump steak. The
money cost is five cents. The tired
mother, therefore, who endeavors
strenuously to keep up with duty as
defined by. modern science for the
household, nay start her boys and
girls off to school with generous bag
Of peanuts each morning, and revel IN
the unaccustomed JOY Of knowing that
thus in one particular has she fully
satisfied the desires Of human nature
and the authority Of expert opinion

Planting an Apple Orchard

For the location of the apple orchard
select high piece of ground, for the
atmosphere is few degrees warmer
than in the valley below, which NAV
save the crop about blooming time.
For apple trees do not believe there
is much difference in any Iarticular
direction of slope. Before setting any
trees get the ground in first-class con-
dition by manuring and draining. The
ground should be deeply plowed and,
If hardpan should be broken by sub
soiling, and the surface put in first
class condition as for any other crop.
If the land is anywhere near lev 81 set

Producing Pork Hogs.


When meat is desired the pigs should
oe narrowed in March, April or May.
Pasture grasses are cheap pork max
srs, hence there is distinct adyan-
tage In having pigs come early. As
soon as they are big enough feed them
soaked corn with bran, skim milk and
middlings. Plan to secure growth
rather than fat at this time. Give
plenty of salt, lime and wood ashes.
When the pigs are eigh; to tenweeks
old wean them. TO do this / usually
pen up the dam and let the pigs have
their usual run in the pasture. If clio
yer pasture. plenty of skim milk and a
little corn Is provided. they will con-
tinue their growth unchecked and be
ready for market when nine or ten
months old. I find 1t profitable to run
my yearling hogs on grass. If during
this time they are given a small feed
of corn each day they can be fattened
for market on short notice. Prices are
usually higher during the summer
months than in autumn or winter.-J.
g., in Orange Judd Farmer.

i
stra' ght rows, but IL the orchard is on
a hill, make the rows follow the curya-
ture Of the hill, because 1t is much cas-
Ter to cultivate, easier to sIbray and
Much more convenient when hauling
away the fruit. The distance to plant
depspds upon the habit Of growth Of
the tlses the soil and whether the trees
are SETON level ground or a lside hill.
Where an orchard is on side hill the
trees maybe closer together, because
they are indifferent elevation and the
mead may develop above those in the
rows below.
A great many orchardists set the
trees twenty feet apart each way with
the expectation Of thinning them out
as they begin to crowd, but this re-
quires more nerve than most men pos
sess. A better plan is to set the trees
forty feet and utilize the unoccupied
space with small fruit or hoed crops or
plant row of dwarf apple trees. The
question of variety is one of those per-
picking problems that is never def
nitely solved. 1T is not advisable to
plant largely Of those varieties which
have never been successfully tested in
your own neighborhood. Make up a
list of what you want and so to the
nursery for it, and although you may
not be able to tell whether the trees
are true to name, you can see whether
they ere thrifty and well rooted. A
twe-year old tree is most satisfactory.
Spring and fall planting have their
advantages and disadvantag but |
prefer fall setting. Unde- ordinary cir
cumstance5 the roots will make little
growth, the dirt will be firmly settled
around the roots, and there will be
less delay In starting into growth. We
want the root system well established
and at work before any development
In the buds or leaves The most eco
nomical use of labor In setting the
trees may be had when it is done by
four men, two to dig holes, one to hold
the tree and place the dirt around the
roots while the fourth man throws in
the dirt. Carefulness in transplanting
is the main secret in making the young
trees live. The man who plants the
tree should be practical, painstaking
fellow. He should not only know how
to plant, but how to prune. All bro
ken and dead roots should be removed
with sloping cut on the under side.
After the tree is firmly set then prune
the top. Each shoot should be cut
back about half and all struggling
ones removed In the spring go over
the trees again and cut off the dead
ends of the shoots and give to the top
the proper form. Young trees should
have q mulch of some sort for the first
two years.-Ernest ]. Riggs, in Amer
lean Agriculturist.

Ahout Damp Table Salt.

One oil the petty annoyances OF the
table is damp salt, and housekeepers
who are solicitous and particular about
everything else seem to be singularly
btuse in this matter. Aside from the
dampness of the salt, little attention
Is paid to the quality. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that salt Is salt
without any degrees of excellence.
Nothing should be used but prepared
table salt, which can always be got.
and little trouble is now experienced
In getting salt so prepared that twill
shake out freely. In any case. the
difficulty can always be overcome by
beating the saltcellars before each
meal, OF by mixing cornstarch with
the salt in the proportion Of one part
of starch to ten Of salt. The heating
of the salt vessels is the preferred
method. The same observations to
some extent apply to pepper Keep
the boxes dry by heating before use.

. The severest blow Ii Hung Chang
has received for many years is the de-

who had been his private secretary for
twelve or fifteen years. Mr.. Pethick
was paid a large salary to act as ad-
visor and instructor in modern Ian
guages and sciences, and had charge
of all the viceroy's foreign affairs ana
much of his private business. Earl Ii
has money invested in all sorts OF en-

business in foreign countries. He has
also taught the Earl nearly every
thing he knows of foreign affairs, and
has read aloud to Ii Hung Chang

French and German, which re was
able to translate into Chinese as hs
