items In cider Making.

The old fashioned method of preparing
pomace for pressing is the best, says a
writer on cider making. Upon layer
of rye straw is placed layer of
pomace, then more straw and more
pomace until tie press is filed After
this cheese, IS it is called, is pressed
the first time the pressure may be re-
iieved and the cheese stirred up with
crowbar. Then the pressure should be
applied again.
After the cider has been all squeezed
out it may fe placed in casks with
bunghole uneorked and left for several
weeks to work Then the bungs can
be put in place and the cider is ready
for use.
After the cider is drawn off for the
first time it can be clarified by break
ing and dropping twelve or more eggs
in the barrel This is especially good
practice If it is intended to bottle the
cider.

FRUIT CULTURE

Prompt destruction of windfall ap-
pies will tend to lessen the amount of
wormy fruit in future Best methods
of marketing should occupy the atten-
ton of producers. Good fruit nicely
put up will find a good market
All the small fruits may be fall
planted currants, gooseberries, rasp-
berries, blackberries and grapes.
Thin late fruits. This is much better
than propping up the limbs and gath
ering and marketing lot of inferior
stuff
Use fresh up to date packages and
improve as much as possible on the
usages of your particular market.
Pruning may be done where needed.
In young orchards hunt for and de-
stroy borers.
Prune out all old wood and part Of
the new from the currant bushes.
In setting a young apple or pear or
chard this fall prepare the land early
and set the trees in October at the
north and later farther south. Stone
fruits should be planted in the spring.
In selecting orchard land look out for
good drainage

provided deter D., so that the current

damper is operated. The whole plan
is simple, easily put in operation and
will be found very effective.

There is such a thing as putting on
too much manure at time. The soil
cannot use more than about so much
at time. Better put on little at a
time and do 1t oftener than to waste it
by applying too much at once.
Draining makes heavy soil better.
How? Makes it dry in wet times; 1t
can be worked earlier in the spring;
the land will not bake; It is warmer; It
is more productive. Any land on your
farm that needs draining? Now Is the
time to do it.
Whenever you find man who has
hardwood ashes to sell, close bargain
with him quick. Ashes are just the

Pigs should be crowded SO that they

Handling FalI and winter Frui'

Handling Fall and Winter Fruit.
Many people still believe that winter
apples should be piled upon the
ground in the orchard and allowed to
sweat for few days before being put
into the cellar. This is not necessary,
although it is often convenience to
the commercial grower who packs in
the orchard. The piles are liable to
develop heat and decay. If possible,
handle but once fruit that is to be
stored that is, pick It into the boxes or
barrels that will be put into the cellar.
This requires that the fruit be graded
when picked. This method is more
practical, as a rule, for fall and winter
pears than for apples.

Approved system of Ventilation For
Poultry House.
There are number Of ideas for the
ventilation Of poultry houses which
are very desirable, but most Of them
are expensive to put into operation.
The main benefit to be obtained from
ventilation is dryness of atmosphere,
which Of itself means the circulation
of pure air. In any plan of ventilation
the air from out of doors should be
taken In from near the bottom Of the
house and follow the ventilator until
it reaches the top or nearly so before
it is allowed to escape into the room.
Iowa Homestead thinks the plan of
ventilation Indicated In the illustra-
ton is one Of the best known. The

Fall Planting.

Early fall planting in September and
October before the leaves are off the
trees may be new idea to many peo-
pie, but it is excellent practice, as the
leaves have plenty of time to become
established before winter sets in. If
the wood is ripe the foliage can be
picked of several weeks before frost

Reservation of Eve Lambs For Flock
Improvement.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in selecting out the eve lambs that
possess the power to strengthen and
permanently fix desirable qualities in
the flock. Flock masters make big
mistake every season in not giving
more attention to selecting their best
eve lambs.
The demand for breeding stock for
starting new fiocks should not induce
flock masters to part with their best
eve lambs Not in many years have
I known Of breeding material com
manding such high premium as now.
The price offered by some anxious buy
ers will be a big inducement to let go
some Of the best eve lambs, thinking
that another year you will have some
more just as good. It is right here
that some shortsighted flock owner is
going to fall down, says Leo G. Reyn-
olds of Michigan in National Stock

Does the orchard pay7" Is cues
ton that every owner Of such a tract
should be vitality interested in. In way
Of answering the question It may be
said that some orchards do pay and
others do not, quite largely depending
upon the intelligent care and attention
which they do or do not receive. One
central Iowa orchard of sixty acres Of
which we know showed return Of
$50 per acre annually during a period
Of FIVE years. This Is doubtless far
above the average, but vet 1t goes to
show what can be accomplished by
painstaking and intelligent care. Where
there is one orchard Ike this thsfe
are probably dozen. large and small,
that do not give net return Of $40 PEI
acre.

BY way of illustrating that the faith
Of the tree planter is rewarded we note
the case of western farmer who has
lately cut 1000 cedar trees from a
grove planted twenty-six years ago,
selling them to telephone company
for use in the construction of Its lines,
the price paid being $1.50 apiece. This
goes to prove that there is good money
in the growing of trees If a fellow only
has the right kind of faith and is will
ing to bide his time.
