Winter killing Of Fruit Trees.

winter N1lIlnE OF fruit TreeH.
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 1t must be made to rlpen
properly in the fall. This may be ac-s
gcomplished by giving attention TO the
drainage of the soil so that 1t will dry
out in the fall and check the growth
of the trees. Naturally the destruc-
ton of the roots Is 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 n straw or
grass mulch about the roots gives
them ample protection. Again, the
roots are comparatively safe from
harm II the soil contains .humus such
as would be obtained from thorough
mulching. Small trees may be well
protected by throwing few shovelfuls
Of soil or manure about the base.
Drainage is also important in presery-
Ing the roots from damage. It should
always be remembered that trees which
are allowed to remain infested with
fungus diseases or insect pests are far
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 off the danger Of
winter killing. The methods suggested
are not difficult to apply, and are such
as should prevail on every wellrregu-
lated fruit farm.-Indianapnlls News

Cotton seed meal is the cheapest
form of protein for the feeder to pur-
chase, says bulletin by the Louisiana
station. Many of the manufacturers
are introducing considerable guam
tity of lint and hulls in their meals
They grind these meals so fine that 1t
is often hard to detect the adultera-
ton. Too great an addition of hulls
and lint lowers the value Of this yalu-
able by-product for feeding purposes
A good meal should have n nutty odor,
bright yellow color, and should be dry
and finely ground. 1t should run at
least 43 per cent protein, not over 10
per cent fat, and not over 0 per cent
fiber. On account of the Improvements
In the manufacture of cotton seed oil
many meals are showing a lower fat
content than formerly. Too high a fat
content Is Objectionable. sin general
the meals vary from 1888 per cent to
SS1 per cent protein. -
In purchasing meals for feeding pur-
poses avoid the dark-colored samples,
Do not buy a meal just because 1t is
cotton seed meal. Purchase from a re-
liable mill or agent, and demand a
guarantee.

standard for Curing Hams.

I'VE SuEAhS AhSsAAans
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 MS follows: Twenty-one
pounds of common salt, six pounds
brown (cane) sugar and one pound
granulated saltpeter to 300 pounds ham,
in regulation fierce, filled with water
and we'll rolled. Or make pickle Of
70 degrees of salometer and add sugar
and saltpeter. In every case tierces
should be rolled 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 fuli-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
to averages: Twelve pounds and un.
der, 49, days per pound; 16, pounds
and under, days per pound over 10
pounds, AZ days per pound
A very clean, uniform and expedl-
tious way to pack hams is as follows:
Have measures made to hold exactly
level full the quantities of salt. sugar
and saltpeter given. Dump into salt
box (rubbing box), rub each ham as
packed into fierce and whatever is left
in the box throw on top of packed
meats. Head up the tierce, roll aside
and fill with water from hose attached
to elevated water tanks Doubtless
most cures have this already systema-
tized, but those points are worth re-
peating.-The National Provisioner.

Pumpkin sugar in Iowa.


Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which Will be
developed in Iowa, for the authorities
at the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar Will be made froM them BY
a process even more simple than that
required to make 1t from beets. Exper-
iments have resulted In the production
of a species of pumpkin which contains
per cent of sugar, and 1t is the pre-
diction that In three years the sugar
element will be increased to - per
cent This is equal to the quantity Of
sugar found In the best variety of
sugar beet. Because pumpkins are,
easily raised and tonnage may be pro-.
duced to the acre which will. exceed
that of beets, the new sugar pumpkin
will open up valuable field for the
Iowa farmers. The pumpkins may be
planted in the corn fields, and the same
soil which will produce corn may be
made to produce crop Of pumpkins
at the same time.-American Cultiya-

around the trunk and hold itself IN
place. See that all drains are In good
