SOUTHERN CORN MEAL.
New Workers Import Daintles From
 Their Old Home.

From the New York Sun.
 No true southerner could ever be con vinced that the fine, swedish yellow meal of the north. whether 1t be ground be- tween stones in an old windmill or made in accordance with the most modern methods, could ever rival the white corn meal of the south. That kind of meal can't be bought in the New York shops.
 As southerners are somewhat depend ent on corn bread, they take measures to provide themselves with it after they have discovered how different meal of the north is when 1t is put to the exacting test or the pone or the hoe cake. Most of them write to their friends at home.
 One grocer in Virginia town has be- come known as a purveyor of a certain kind of southern delicacy that no other town provides so well. So he has coma to have large clientele of southern cus- toners, who have immigrated to the north but turn to him for the dainties for which their palates long.
 He sends hams to his customers, but has maoe it condition now that they must accept his product cooked. He no longer cares to send his hams raw In the north there are too few cooks that take pride in turning out ham as it should be, he says
 Complaints began to reach him. The quality of the hams was not as it had been, they said. The proprietor of this Virginia grocery store knew better. So he decided to sell his hams in the future only after they had been cooked under his own direction.
 There are other southern delicacies in this grocery besides real corn meal and hams. Hominy of the kind called samp in New York is quite different thing from the article made here
 Southerners like it made into a rather thin, fiat cake after 1t has once been boiled and then fried. Only the southern hominy will cook in this way. New York samp never gets firm enough to fry in such cake. That is one of the striking differences between the genuine article and the northern substitute
 Perhaps none of these dishes appeals more to the southern taste than the dried Potomac herring. These little fish have a great many bones-that cannot be- denied. But their salted flesh is very delicate, and broiled for breakfast they are deliciously savory and agreeable.
 But their roe is the best part of them It makes delicious hors doeuyre with

about the most satisfactory kind there is If man gets well liked by the in- structors and students the work is steady and the pay, of course, sure. And that's more than you can say for the jobs of fered by some of the artists. Some paint CTS want to engage you to go to their studios for a day now and then. If you agree to do so you very likely lose solid week of employment.
 Another thing that makes posing in the art school more satisfactory is that the teachers never choose exaggerated attitudes In a painters studio you may have to do all sorts of queer things. Sometimes when artist is represent ing a man thrown from A horse he will swing you in rings In mid-air and make you keep a pose of that sort for hours at time, with every muscle of your hody under severe strain. The instructors at the school believe that 1t is better for the students to draw from simple, graceful poses into which the body set ties naturally. They don't encourage any doing feats for the sake of showing off big muscles. That's better for the stu dents and it doesn't wear the model out"
 During the art season models such as either of the two just described will pose for from nine to fourteen hours a day. These men have to keep themselves In excellent condition by being strictly tenn perate in matters of eating and drink ing.
 Many Artists lnexorable.
 Many artists have the reputation of being inexorable in their demands upon the models strength. A characteristic example appears in an anecdote of the late Adolphe Menzel, the German paint er who at one time was engaged on work of mural decoration and kept man posed in an exceedingly fatiguing position on scaffold for two hours. The great painter worked away needless of his models discomfort. Finally the vic- tim called down. Herr Professor, how about the recess?
 Certainly, my dear sir. Come. down right away and you shall have your re- cess"
 As the model was descending from the scaffolding his limbs assumed position which was one for which the artist had long been looking.

How to XIII the Borers,

Grower gives the following receipt for
killing the bOrer and other tree grubs:
The best wash I have found to pre-
vent the peach trees worst enemies
1,orer and woody aphis-is made as fol-
lows: Put in eight gallons Of water as
much soda as it will dissolve; then add
II gallon Of homemade soap (soft
soap is best), and a half-gallon Of to-
bacco juice. Then slack lime as for
other washes, and mix together. Wash
trees from roots to limbs. The wash
should be thin for small trees, so as it
can be put on about a sixth of an
inch. If little salt is added the wash
will stay on longer. l S salt for old
trees. This wash is sure death to the
young bOrers that have not got under
the bark yet. The best time to wash
is June. about the time the moth de-
posts the eggs that produce the borers.
The above wash applies to apple trees,
but is too strong for cherry trees.
The past five years I planted 1900
peach trees. Most all made a healthy
growth. Most Of them were set on
new cleared timber land where borers
are the worst. Seven died b. planting,
ak were brokea of in c~ultivating.

Fertilizers For Strawberries.

At the experiment fruit farm expert
ments with fertilizers for strawberries
have given only negative results. In
1908, thirteen plats of o%ne-fortieth acre
each were planted to Strawberries,
twelve plats with different fertilizers
and the thirteenth a check. The soil
was a good clay loan that would yield
about forty bushels of corn per acre.
The experiment was designed to show
the effect of muriate Of potash. acid
phosphate and c~OttOnSeed meal intro
gem singly and in various comDina-
TONS. The plants were set in the
spring and given thorough tillage, and
a good stand was secured. Expert
growers examined the plats in fruit
during the two following years, and of
the many who examined them only
one man was able to distinguish which
was the unfertilized plat. A record Of
the yield of the different plats was
kept, and no pronounced differences
appeared. The unferti1iZed plat gave
slightly better results than some of the
fortified plats, but the results as a
whole were negative. indicating that

strawberries.
- In 1905 the experiment was repeated
in a poor light-colored gravelly clay.
The plats will bear next season, but
in the growth of the plants no differ
ences have been observed in the vari-
Gus plats.
A successful market gardener at
Knoxville uses the strawberry as a
re~novating crop for soils that have
been devoted to such vegetables as
make a heavy draft on fertility. After
two OF three years in such crops as
cabbage he plants q field to strawber-
ries, fruits them two or three years,
then plows them under, and finds the
soil improved by the process--Profes-
sor Charles A. keffer.

Fermented Cotton Seed For Hor..:

OOOtOA S0Su q nOk3ea =
Bulletin 7S, Of the Texas Station,
at College Station, is on feeding fer.
mented ~cOttonseed meal to hogs. The
conclusions, from careful experiments,
are:
First: A comparison of the results
of this experiment with those of other
stations al which cottonseed meal was
fed in the ordinary way, indicates
that cottonseed meal may be used in
larger quantities and for longer periods
when fermented and fed in a slop, than
when fed without being fermented.
Second: The report of feeders who
have used cottonseed meal for hogs
indicate that a light feed of cottonseed
meal may be continued indefinitely,
and that the consumption of green feed
lessons the danger of death from feed
ing cottonseed meal.
Third: In this trial the hogs were
yardfed during the hot summer Il
son, consequently they were unGer con-
ditiOns making the trial as sewers as
possible. Under such conditions fer
menting c%ottonseed meal does not en-
tirely remOv its injurious, effect when
fed to hogs.
Fourth: The results of this expert
ment show that for the first forty
three days of the feeding the mixture
containing cottonseed meal and corn
gave larger and cheaper gains than the
straight corn ration, while during the
second period of forty days the results
were reversed. This leads to the sug-
gestion that, to improve a corn ration,
it would be advisable to add ~cOttOnSeed
meal to it for about forty days, pre-
ferably, for other reasons also, during
the first forty days of the feeding.
Fifth: The hogs that received cot
tonseed meal as u part of their ration
in this trial showed less fat and more
lean meat in the carcass.
Sixth: The carcasses Of the hogs that
received cottonseed meal, contrary tC
the previously expressed opinion OF
the packers, were firmer, and therefore
more acceptable to them than those OF
the corn-fed hogs.

Curing Meat

As this is the special season for
curing meat, and as we have received
calls for information on the matter,
we shall row discuss The business.
A famous and excellent recipe for
curing meat is this: To one gallon of
water take n and a half pounds Of
salt, one half-rOund Of sugar, one-half
ounce Of saltpeter, one-half ounce of
potash.
This gives the ratio; in it the pickle
can be increased to any quantity de-
sired.
The ingredients named are to be
boiled together until the dirt rises to
the top and is Skinned off. Then
throw what has thus been prepared
into a vessel to cool; when it is cool
pour it over the beef or pork.
The meat must be well covered with
the pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after killing,
during which time it ought to be
slightly sprinkled with powdered salt
peter; this remOves all the surface
blood, leaving the meat fresh and
clean.
The boiling Of the pickle is some
times omitted. It is to be remembered.
however, that the boiling purifies the
article, throwing off, as it does, the
dirt always apt to be found in salt
and sugar.
This recipe has only to be fully tried
to prove its superiority over the COM
mon way of dealing with the case.
Once thus tried. it is not likely TO be
abandoned. "The meat" says one who
has put it to the test, lis unsurpassed
for sweetness, delicacy and freshness
of color.'-Home and Farm.

The Care of Fowls.

We may learn much from natures
laws as to how best to feed and care
for our hens, at times when conditions
are such as 10 deprive them of things
needed.
1t is known that when left to them
selves hens lay the most eggs during
the spring and summer months, sea-
sons when bright days and grassy
lawns, with fresh air, make all living
beings look happier.
The hens have the freedom of the
fields and hustle about, gathering bits
of grass here and there, and leaving
only long enough to go to the house
to lay.
We can learn from this that similar
conditions must be made to exist dur
ing the winter months if we expect
the hens TO lay
The house must be warm the
scratching shed must be bright and
clean, and the food must be whole
some and SO varied that the appetite
will not lag.
Grains should be fed always in the
scratching shed, and the hens must be
kept busy from daylight till dark.
Those that begin first and work the
longest are sure to be the nes that
lay the most eggs.-HOme and Farm.
