GARDEN NOTES.

Worms if left to feed at will on
currant bushes will soon ruin them.
A garden properly taken care of is
a source of considerable profit and
much pleasure.
Do not permit deep hoeing in the
garden, as this destroys the lateral
roots of plants.
Push the growth of the new straw.
berry plants SO they may develop
large root systems for next season.
Cut back the monthly rose bushes
as soon as the first blossoms wither
This will insure a second growth at
once The blooms always come on the
new growth.

Porch Basket,

To make beautiful and inexpensive
hanging flower basket for porch, use
an ordinary round half bushel basket
with side handles. Paint green and
suspend with heavy picture chains fas-
tened to either handle of basket. Put
a small fiat box or round tin pan up.

BEST WAY TO CLEAN ZINC.
suIphuric Acid Will Do it, But II Mus,
Be Handled with Care.

Zinc is one of the most difficult
metals to keep bright and stainless.
1t can be cleaned with sulphuric acid
but the greatest care must be OBJ.
served in using this strong chemical.
II you will do the work yourself, or
have 1t done under your personal su-
pervision, you will find this method
satisfactory:
Have the zinc well washed with
soap and hot water. that no trace OF
grease may remain on it; wipe 1t very
dry.
Make two mops by fastening pieces
Of cloth on two sticks; have on hand
two pals of clean. cold water and a
cleaning cloth.
Put into a stoneware bowl one
quart of cold water and very grad
ually add three ounces of sulphuric
acid.
Be very careful not to allow the acid
to touch your hands. Dip one of the
mops in the acid water and swab the
zinc; in few seconds it will begin
to look bright and clear.
When this occurs wash with the
second MOP and clear water; follow
this with a good washing with cloth
and water to which household am
monia has been added in the proper
tion of tablespoonful of ammonia to
a quart OF water. Rub the cleansed
surface with dry whiting. Be sure to
add the acid to the water, and not the
water to the acid.

TOMATOES FOR CANNING.
Suggestions for the Extensive Raising
Of the Vegetable.

planted one ounce of tomato seed
in our garden the middle Of last
March in open ground and think
evsry seed came up. The young
plants were looking well, but were
killed down by frost the first of
April BY the last of the month they
had all come out again and were large
enough to set out, and l planted the
5000 plants which grew from the
ounce Of seed, writes a correspondent
of Farm and Home. The weather be-
ing favorable, almost every plant
lived.
The land on which they were plant
ed was very poor and sandy, with a
clay subsoil. first broke it deep in
March with one-horse turn plow,
turning under lot of weeds and
grass. About two weeks before set
ting out the plants l laid out rows
with an eight-inch shovel and put in
commercial fertilizer analyzing two
per cent. nitrogen, ten per cent. phos-
phoric acid and three per cent. potash,
at the rate of 900 pounds per acEe.
covered this fertilizer by running over
the rows once with two five-inch
scooters on double stock, which
ridged the soil level with the surface
The rows were three feet apart and
the plants were set two feet in the
row.
The cultivation was begun as soon
as the plants were firmly settled In
the soil and they were given three
plowings and two hoeings. The last
plowing was given about the time the
tomatoes begun to form freely on the
plants. l made mistake by not
giving them four plowings instead of
three and by not applying nitrate of
soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre at the last plowing. BY failing to
do this the plants stopped growing,
most of the leaves dropped off and
over half the tomatoes were scalded
by the hot sun, rendering them unfit
for canning. We got over 400 two
pound cans of tomatoes from this
patch of about one-fourth acre.

TO MARINADE OR LARD MEAT.
Two Processes That Will Distinctly
Improve the Flavor.

While meats are so very high, many
a housewife will buy the cheaper cuts.
and marinade them to make them ten
der. Marinading is process with a
formidable name and simple mean
ing. To marinade is simply to soak
meat in a mixture for some hours, or
even days, with the idea Of improving
Its flavor or softening its fibers and
making 1t tender. Vinegar, oil, pepper
and salt are mixed together. and the
meat is packed in the mixture; some
times a slice Of onion and some herbs
are added. The meat should, Of course,
be wiped first, but not washed. The
process is more frequently used for
meat than for fish. Larding is quite
easy-it only requires care and accu.
racy. 1t simply needs a larding needle
and some neatly and evenly cut strips
Of fat bacon or pork. which are used
exactly as If they were pieces of wool
or thread one large stitch being taken
through the meat and the short ends
of the fat left sticking out The strips
are called lardcns. The fat bacon or
pork to be used in the process should
be kept in cold place. Use that part
of the pork which lies between the
rind and the vein. Lean and dry meat
and some kinds of game are much inn
proved by larding
The Holly chieftain., 1908-07-24
Cultivate the Onions.

The most important essential in
onion growing is thorough cultivation
at the right time, which means that
we must keep down the weeds and
grass and keep the soil loose around
the plants while they are young. This
requires careful work for the first few
times, but IL well done one will feel
we'll repaid when the harvest comes.
The patch should be gone over as soon
as the ground is dry enough after each
rain. For cultivation by hand as de-
scribed above l plant in drills from
II to 16 inches apart.

Grape Juice Punch.

This is excellent and has the merit
of being non-alcoholc. Cook together
one pound sugar and halfpint water
until it spins a thread. Take from the
fire and turn over large cup of
strong tea. Add the juice of six lem
ons and the same number of oranges,
with a quart of grape juice, and stand
over night. When ready to serve add
sliced fruits and the water, plain or
mineral, with ice in the punch bowl. If
desired, cut half pou;4d marshmal-
lows into quarters and allow three to
each glass.

KEEP ORCHARD FREE OF TRASH.
The Only Safe Way to Keep Trees
from Injury by Rodents and insects.

In regard to the protection OF 1rult
trees from rodents. my experience
has been that most people neglect to
do anything for the protection Of their
trees until 1t is too late and then get
discouraged and do not try to raise
their own fruit. being more interested
in the production of a good hog or
calf than in the comforts OF their fam
lily (until the agent comes along again
and sells them some more trees.)
Well, have known of one instance
where certain neighbor sowed his
orchard to wheat Just before the
wheat was ready to cut the rabbits
barked almost every tree. This was
in June, mind you. They must have
had queer constitutions to have need
ed the bark at that time of the year
These trees, think, had been set out
two or three years.
My experience is that the rabbits
prefer the very small trees, al
though they will sometimes gnaw
quite large ones. But there is no
limit to the size of tree that mouse
| will try his teeth on. While examin-
ing trees for borers l have found
trees from 25 to 80 years old that had
been gnawed by mice. / would con
slider the surest remedy against them
to be to keep your orchard so clean
of trash, grass, weeds, etc, as to leave
no hiding place for them.
l should say that most rodents pre-
fer the apple, pear and ounce to
most other kinds of trees: but l find
that rabbits will invite their friends to
picnic whenever they happen to find
| rose bushes unprotected. ! use chicken
wire netting to protect my trees in
the nursery. Three feet high is suf.
ficient provided you stake it down
well. One of my friends, a nursery.
man, is also school teacher. and not
being at home very much when the
time came for protecting his nursery
by putting up his fence, he entrusted
the job to his hired man. He put up
the fence; he put it high enough. but
| failed by about six inches of getting 1t
low enough The consequences were
that one bunny fixed hundred or SO
of his trees before he found him.
l prefer veneer wrappers to any
hting else for protection, because they
can be left on the trees two or three
years without the least injury being
done to the trees. They are a great
protection against borers also. l once
examined a 30-acre orchard that they
had been on for two years and only
found one tree with borers in it in the
entire orchard. We have tried the
veneer. OF course, we do not recon-
mend any paint that has, grease or oil
in it. I know Of parties living near me
here that bought trees of agents of
certain nurseries and then the agent
would sell them enough paint to kill
them, and there you are.
Finally, dear friends, concludes the
writer in Farmers Review, If you
have neglected to protect your or
chard otherwise and Brer Rabbit is
cutting up capers try this: One part
sulphate of strychnine, one-third part
borax, one part sugar syrup, ten parts
water, mix and paint small twigs with
this and scatter in their paths. and
that will be the last of Brer Rabbit
