winter kiIIing OF Fruit Trees

We have all had some experience In
winter killing of fruit. but perhaps
many of us are none the wiser for the
experience except in noting the great
difference of opinion which prevails
regarding the causes of this trouble
To prevent the young wood from being
killed back if must be made to ripen
properly in the fail. This may be ac-
complished by giving attention 10 the
drainage of the soil so that it will dry
out in the fall and check the growth
Of the trees. Naturally the destrue-
ton Of the roots is 4 much more Sc
rious matter The death OF fruit tree
roots is almost always due TO improper
soil conditions. Trees in sod are rarely
killed in winter. Likewise a straw or
grass mulch about the roots gives
them ample protection Again. the
roots are comparatively safe from
harm If the soil contains humus such
as would be obtained from thorough
mulching Small trees may be we'll
protected by throwing few sh0yelfuls
of soil or manure abont the Iase
Drainage is also important in preserv-
ing the roots from damage. 1t should
always be remembered that trees which
are allowed to remain infested with
fungus diseases or insect pests are faE
more likely TO die in winter than are
healthy trees. Attention to the general
health Of the trees and to proper soil
conditions furnish the best possible
means of warding of the danger Of
winter killing. The methods suggested
are not difficult to apply, and are such
as should prevail on every well-regu-

THE IDENTIFICATION OF FAMILY LIFE.

The greatest of all dangers that threaten
the future of this country is in the disinte-

standard for Curing Hams.

In response to the inquiry of CORE
spondent the following directions are
given concerning the curing of hams
First of all, the meat must be thor
oughly chilled. A perfectly safe pickle
is made as follows: Twenty one
pounds of common salt, six pounds
brown (cane) sugar and one pound
granulated saltpeter to 800 pounds ham.
in regulation fierce, filed with water
and well rolled. Or make pickle Of
70 degrees of salometer and add sugar
and saltpeter. IN every case tierces
should be rolled a couple of times dur
ing the first two weeks of curing. A
good temperature to cure in is 36 to SO
degrees Fahrenheit. Some curers
pump full-strength pickle to the joints
before packing, which no doubt hastens
the cure somewhat and lessons the risk
of "souring."
Meats under the above formula are
cured in the following time. according

A very clean, uniform and expedi-
tious way to pack hams is as follows:

and saltpeter given. Dump into salt

packed into fierce and whatever is left
in the box throw on top of packed
meats. Head up the fierce. roll aside

peating.-The National Provisioner.

Hill, the railroad magnate, says that
In twenty years we will have 100000
900 people and asks where they are to
be employed and how are they to be
fed. In century the coal supply will
be practically exhausted. In the face
of these facts, if they be such, and
there is no reason to dispute them,
every farm properly cared for should
be worth more money for each year of
the period. There will be a growing
dependence on the fruits of the soil.

The best dairymen are now using
both winter and summer silos. At the
Ontario Experiment Farm they feed
only twice a day succulent ration with
meal and clover hay, an hour and a

hay. They estimate that cow should
receive pound of meal for every FIVE
pounds of milk she gives.
