HOW TO REMOVE LARGE LIMB
illustration Shows How Large Branch
Hanging Over Roof, Was Easily
Taken Down.

recently had occasion to remove
one of the main branches of large
elm tree, writes. c. o. Ormsbee Of
Washington county. Vermont. in Farm
and Home. The branch In question
was IL inches in diameter. IS feet long
and attached to the tree at height of
80 feet. 1t hung over a slate-roofed
barn, which made 1t necessary to keep
1t of the roof and 1t was not prac-
ticable to remove 1t In sections. The
illustration shows the plan that was
adopted.
First, ladder was placed against
the tree. then a pair of self.locking
pulleys. a. were suspended from the
limb. b, and attached to the branch
about four feet from the tree. Next, a
rope, C, was attached to one of the
larger limbs of the main branch, and
another rope. b d. attached to another
limb. The object of these ropes was
to prevent the end of the branch from
falling upon the roof, and it was nee
essary to use two ropes to prevent 1t
from tipping and turning sidewise.
One end Of the rope, b 6, was
thrown over the limb at and down
to the ground, where 1t was snubbed

ECONOMIC USE OF MEATS
Department OF Agriculture Has Pre-
pared = Bulletin Dealing with
the Subject.

Discussion Of the increasing cost Of
living has brought to light quite gen.
orally that the cheaper cuts OF meats
are more difficult to prepare for the
table than the-mefe- expensive por.
tons Of the carcass. due to a lack Of
knowledge Of how they may be made
appetiZing and palatable. With q
view to providing the housekeepers Of
the country with practical suggestions
along this line. the United States de-
partment OF agriculture has prepared
a manual of economy in meat cooking
that contains much valuable informa-
ton. which will be issued free. II is
known as Economic Use of Meats In
the Home" and may be had by ad-
dressing request to the secretary Of
agriculture. Washington.
The contents covers a variety Of
subjects including so recipes of savory
dishes and much general information
such as:
General methods Of preparing
meats.
Utilizing cheaper cuts OF meats In
palatable dishes.
A simple but practical method of
clarifying fats.
Methods of extending the flavor Of
meats.
The recipes have been selected from
a wide range collected from approved
sources and are all simple formulas
calling for such items of food as are
generally to be found In every house
hold and requiring no technical knowl
edge to compound.

There used to be the courage of the
man who fought with his fists, and

WHY CREAM TESTS VARY.
Apparent Errors May Be Traced
to Several Common Causes.

Variation in tests has caused much
dissatisfaction in the selling of cream.
When the cream is from the same
cows, which have been fed the same
ration and MIXED by the same man,
and when the same separator is used,
the farmer naturally thinks the per
cent of fat in the cream should re-
main the same,
Errors are often made in making
the tests, especially in taking the
sample, but variations constantly &C.
cur that are due to other causes. The
most common causes of these varia-
tons, as pointed out in a circular, No,
81, by Prof. C. H. Eckles, Of the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, Columbia, Mo-, are as fol-
lows:
/. Variations in the speed of the
separator.
Q. Variation in temperature Of
milk separated.
3. Rate the milk flows into the
machine.
4. Amount of water or skim milk
used in flushing out the bowl.
5. Change in the richness of the
milk separated.
6. Adjustment of the cream
screw.
Change in the speed of the separa'
tor is the most common cause Of
variation. The greater the speed Of
the separator the smaller the amount
of cream and the higher the per cent
of fat.
Again, the temperature of the milk
separated varies on the farm from
day to day. If the cream tests 80 pei
cent when the milk is separated at *
degrees, it may test as high as A
per cent when separated at 70 de
grees. Under average condition OF
the farm, however, the variations ii
fat due to change in temperature viii
not amount to more than 3 or 4 pei
cent.
| A third cause of variation is fount
in the rate at which the milk flow
j into the machine. If less than thu
regular quantity flows into the bowl
the tendency is to increase the pc
cent of fat in the cream.
The richness of the milk separated
affects the richness but not thu
quantity of the cream. The richness
of a cows milk depends on inheri
lance and cannot be changed perma
nently by feed.
Small variations are likely to occu
from the other causes suggested b.
Prof Eckles. By the use of an ordi
nary Babcock testing machine and b.
measuring the sample Of cream int
the test bottle with the same pipett'
as is used for measuring milk, an.
farmer can make a test of his cream
that will satisfy him as to the accura
cy of the test he receives from tn,
cream buyer.

Growth of the free-trade tendency is
written in the record of the percentage OF
free imports.
IN the year 1921 the share admitted
free of duty was 1886 per cent, in 1872
SIS per cent. Then there was a slow
but steady advance, until in 1881 the
share entering free Of duty was 6.65 per
cent. Then there came a sharp advance
by reason Of changes in tariff laws. and
In 1898 the share free of duty was 242l
per cent One year later. through an
other change'in tariff. the share admitted
free of duty rose to 4a67 per cent. and
continued at about that ratio until 1872,
when it dropped to 1858 per cent.
Following further changes in the
tariff laws. the proportion of the inn
ports entering free of duty fell 10 1871

ranging from that point slowly upward
until the share admitted free of duty in
1850 was 1894 per cent
During the civil war period the share
admitted free of duty ranged from 9795
per cent in 1862 downward to 1851 per

Under the operation of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bin, more than one-half Of the
import trade Of the United States is free
of duty
To the men who prepared the measure
this is not a surprise During the pro-
longed debate on the bin last summer its
advocates predicted that much of the
trade under it would be conducted indie
pendently of the tariff.
This situation has been arrived at
through a gradual increase in the per-
centage of free imports from the year 1921.
when 396 per cent of the importations We're
admitted without the payment of a tariff
duty. By this ratio of free-trade progress
sion, the United States will arrive at the
goal of free trade about the year 200.
May Supplant England.
BY another token, England following
the trend which she is now taking, may
then be protected country. Should this
prophecy work out, England and the
United States viii then have changed
places, each assuming the trade Of the
other.
Imports which pay no duty have in
creased steadily since the passage Of the
new tariff act on August 6, 1903 Taking
August as a fun month. the imports
which came in free were 1882 per cent.
September 1926 per cent. October 506l
per cent November 5411 per cent. and
December 90 per cent.
The average for the fve-month period
for which the importation figures ara now
available at the Bureau of Statistics Is
5l.5 per cent.
