VERY FINE LUNCHEON SALAD
Combination Both Appetlzlng and M.
trltious, Of Fruit, Vegetables,
Eggs and Cheese.

AS there is no dish more appetizing
than salad for an afternoon luncheon,
the following recipe may be gladly
followed by girls when making up a
luncheon menu. Take one ripe, Juicy
orange; one large, ripe banana; one
mellow. yellow apple; one mellow
pear; thre large, perfect figs; one
white, crisp stalk of young celery; a
medium-sized piece of American
cheese Unjust be old and crumbling),
two hard-boiled eggs. Cut each into
small pieces, grating the cheese.
When all have been well mixed to-
gether with a wooden spoon in a
wooden bowl, pour over the whole the
Juice Of two lemons, twice the guam.
tity of olive oil, bit Of mustard and
salt, which have been beaten together
till thick. Put into a mason jar, cover
tightly and place in the ice box. When
thoroughly chilled, put two spoonfuls
upon a crisp white lettuce leaf on o
small salad plate and serve with thin
slices of bread and butter. This, witt
cup of rich chocolate, makes an ap
pet!zing combination for luncheon. II
may be followed by an ice or whipped
cream and sponge cake.

Pruning and training are important
requisites in the successful manage
ment of a pear orchard. The objects
to be attained are: GD Symmetri-
cal, evenly balanced heads; (2) the
admission of sunlight and free cir
culation of air into all parts of the
tree tops; and CD the maintenance of
sufficient foliage TO protect the trunks
and branches from the intense heat of
the suns rays, which would otherwise
be likely to scald and injure both tree
and fruit
Pruning should begin as soon as the
trees have been planted by cutting
back the young tree at the time Of
planting to the height from the ground
1t is proposed to start the branches to
form the head OF the tree, which
should not be over IL to Is inches, as
shown In figure g. This cutting back
will cause several OF the upper buds
to break and grow, thus starting the
top or head at the proper height, The
starting branches should be watched
and only such left to grow as are &c
form the main branches. The
strongest shoots should be left al
equal distances apart around the stem
and should tend obliquely outward SC
as to spread and make an open head
The second year these shoots should
be shortened back to the extent of
about half of the growth, as shown
in figure T. The same plan should
be continued the third and fourth
years.
In all pruning to give the desired
form TO the head and especially while
the tree is young, the orchardlst
should keep clearly fixed in his mind
the form Of the tree as 1t is to be
when old; for what may seem to be an
open head when the tree is young may
prove to be too dense and crowded
when the tree is older. The branches
should not be too close together fol
convenience I'm gathering the fruit.
During late winter or in early
spring before the sap starts, eacl
tree should be carefully looked ovel

and all branches which are likely to
interfere with adjoining ones should
be cut out and the centers Of dense
growth thinned out; side ranches
which are making a stronger growth
then the others should be checked
by shortening in, so as to maintain
an evenly balanced head. Some va
r1eties have an upright habit of
growth and some make a slender,
struggling growth. All need attention
each year In cutting back the last
years growth the top bud should be
left on the side OF the branch facing
the direction in which the growth
needs 10 be diverted. BY this method
there will be no difficulty in shaping
the tree into any desired form.
All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees are
young and the growth OF wood Is
tender. At such time the healing
over is more rapid and complete, and
the tree suffers less injury.

People who regard chickens as not

ions. A California man who knows
something about fowls has designed a
feeder which is operated automatically
by the chickens themselves, and IL a
hen is too dumb she is apt to starve
to death. a hopper containing feed is
placed on o trestle. The valve from
which the feed is discharged is nor

may be renewed by severe pruning,
cutting back all the branches that are
not in healthy condition. This prun-
ing will cause new, vigorous shoots to
grow. The new growth will need to
be cut back as occasion requires. BY
persistent pruning an entire new top
may be formed in a few years.
When the removal of large branch
is necessary, the wound should be COW

other substance that will prevent
evaporation and keep the wood from
checking and consequent decay.

STIR EXPECTED AT TRIAL
Max D. Steuer, ACTRESSES Law
yer, Resents Blackmail Charge.

Sensational testimony Is expected to-day
AT the continuation OF the trial begun
Yesterday IN the Supreme Court OF the
suit Of Miss Edith St Clair, an actress,
against the theatrical firm OF Klaw q
Erlanger The issue at bar concerns
contract which the plaintiff says she has,
by the terms Of which she was to re-
ce,ye rom tho defendants $500 year
for ten years
But the principal interest in the case s
the alleged manner in which this con-
tract was obtained by Miss ST. Clair and
this involves the allegation of blackmail
against Max d. steuer, who has inquired
IN numerous important cases and now Is
counsel for Charles H. Hyde, former
Chamberlain.
The contract which Miss St Clair made
with the theatrical managers was not FOR
professional services, and they say In their
defense that Il was without consideration
for the money which the plaintiff was to
receive under the contract.
Miss st. Clair, through Mr.. Steuer. acting
for another law firm, relinquished what
ever claim she had against Mr.. Erlanger
personally under an oral agreement she
said she had by which she was to receive
from the manager SO a week for her life
time. The defendants allege that the sub
seouent contract was made because OF
the suggestion Of Mr.. Steuer that on &C
count of the prominence Of Mr.. Erlanger
and for private reasons, he might not care
70 have tho claim Of Miss st. Clair taken
TO court and made public.
Mr.. steuer has denied this allegation.
All the parties to the suit were In court
Yesterday. Mr.. Steuer appeared for MISS
st Clair, but he had with him to try the
case John v. Bowler, jr.. while William
Travers Jerome and David Gerber repre-
sented Klaw & Erlanger. Mr.. Bowler
moved for Judgment on the pleadinss'
saving there was no issue as to the con-
tract as It had been admitted. Justice
Page denied the motion. and Mr.. Steuer
heatedly declared that the issue Of black
mail was the principal one and that he
proposed It should be tried here and
now"
