What can be done with the waste land
which has been stripped of it's timber and
is unsuitable for agriculture? Left alone
il will soon be covered by a second growth
of inferior timber, which is more than like
" 10 be destroyed by fire. DR.. Rothrock
would convert these lands into forest reser-
vations, but all of them are not available
for that use. Mr.. Coleman h. Sober, Of
Lewisburg who is we'll known throughout
the State as a member of the Board Of
Game Commissioners, has demonstrated
that there is a way to turn these forbid
ding waste lands to good account by grow
ing chestnut trees upon them.
The soil and climate of Pennsylvania is
very favorable to the American chestnut
1t grows everywhere and is especially
luxuriant and dominating as second-growth
timber The sweet little native chestnut
is much beloved by small boys, but IL has
not the commercial value of the larger
European chestnut. which is an important
food staple i'm Spain, Italy. Switzerland and
Germany Mr.. Sober has planted his waste
land with native chestnut trees and grated
on them sciOns of a larger chestnut which
he calls Paragon, and what is probably an
improved descendant Of-the Spanish chest
nut.
Mr. Sober has made a great success of
this chestnut grating His success is i'm
nortant because the field is open to every
one There is profit in the large chestnut.
and our stripped forest lands, now almost

source of wealth by turning them into

Orange Judd Farmer.
II is unnecessary to have a barrel in
which to make pickle. We have had ex-
cellent success by the following method:
Cut off the skin, except around the end,
so that the salt and smoke will act more
easily and quickly. The skin is left around
the small end TO hold the cord to hang
them up by. a small teacup of fine salt
is rubbed together with two heaping table,
spoonfuls of powdered saltpeter. This mix
ture is heated and rubbed over the hams.
For convenience each ham is placed on
a folded newspaper, with sheet OF plain
white or manila paper next the ham, and
whenever the ham is moved il is done by
placing the hands under the paper on which
ii rests. While curing, the hams are kept
in a cool place, but are not allowed to
freeze. The mixture is used every few
days for about three weeks, and il is i'm
possible to get the hams too salty in this
way. Two or three times during the curing
process we rub the hams with mola sses,
into which a little soda has been stirred.
For a smokehouse a tight barrel is all
that is necessary. Some live Goals are put
i'm an old pan that has been partly filed
with ashes. COrncObs are broken up and
laid on the Goals They do not blaze but
give a dense smoke. When the smoke is
going nicely the pan is quickly placed on
the bottom of the barrel, and a stick on
which the hams are strung is placed across
the top. If the cord is short the hams do
not hang near enough TO the fire to 90 any
harm.
The barrel is covered first with a news
paper, then with an old piece of sacking
or carpeting, and the whole pressed down
with boards. The hams are left here for
three or four hours. the longer the better
The smoking process can be repeated as
many times as desired. but probably two
or three times would be enough for most
families They are not ready TO eat for
at least two weeks after smoking. In fact,
the longer they are kept, provided they
do not spoil, the better they are.

horticultural Meetings.

Country Gentleman
The horticultural meetings of the various
state and district societies are now in
progress, and seem TO be yielding the usual
amount of enthusiasm, gOod-fellowship and
practical information. We feel it our plain
duty to urge every one to attend these
meetings 1t is almost beyond comprehen-
sion how any fruit-grower can stay away.
The discussions are too valuable to lose,
and the enthusiasm is by no means I'M
profitable. while the good-fellowship is best
the proceeds of the biggest apple crop on
record. Men who are not fruit-growers-
those who might be called general farmers
ought to be almost equally anxious TO
attend. Reporters and agents who have
had long experience in attending all sorts
of agricultural gatherings will always tes-
tify that the horticultural meetings are the
most energetic practical and enjoyable of
all The general farmer is apt to think
that horticulture is a small business: but
while il may be so on his farm il may
have large consequences even there. y
few weeks ago We gave some indisputable
observations and statistics TO show that
the horticultural industries always improve
the agriculture of any farm or any neigh
bOrhOOd where they take hold. Fruit
farming or Vegeta farming is almost
necessarily good farming. If a man really
has an ambition 10 improve his farm and
TO make his general farm practice better
let him study the methods and catch the
enthusiasm of the fruit-growers For him
the horticultural light is still shining: and
il will be better for his agricultural saliva
ton for him to attend a horticultural meet
even though he may have more money in
vested in pigs than in peaches.
