CULTURE OF THE BURBERRY
mucn Land in United States Suited for
Notning Else-8erries Stand
Shipment Well.
(Bv r = W., !, e,rr,>, {

n 81
tBy r. G. wEATHERSTONE.)
DiueDerries thrive in acid soils and
tnere is a large amount of naturally
acids lands in the east United States
that are fit for nothing else on which
Dlueoerries could be raised proftably.
mere are two methods Of pTopa-
eating the BURBERRY plant. The first,
Whicn is suited to upland soils, is to
set the plants in trenches or separate
holes in well-rotted peat about foot
deep and mulch the surface well with
leaves or clean sand.
Give plenty of room for the roots
The soil should afford good drainage
as the ideal condition of the peat
about the roots is. one of continued
moisture during the growing season.
The second method of field culture
is to set the plants n a peat bog after
1t has been drained, turfed and deeply
mulched with sand just as for cram
berry culture, except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding of the
bog for winter. The ground water of
the bog might be kept a little lower
than is usual with cranberries.
There is great difference between
the genuine burberry and its counter
felt tine huckleberry. The BURBERRY
is plump, large and its seeds are so
small as to be almost unnoticed The
huckleberry's seed is surrounded with
a bony covering like a minute peat
pit which crackies between the teeth.
The 0lueberries stand shipment
well ara if growers will take pains to
insist that their product be not con-
fused with huckleberries and sold at
the same price they will be better off.

DON'T LET WRINKLES COME
Woman Should Use Preventive Meas
ures to Keep Her Face Smooth
and Clear.

| once heard a woman say; The
best way to treat wrinkles is to avoid
getting them" This may sound alb
surd, but it is true. Wrinkles are
caused by facial habits.
Laughing, crying, frowning or smil-
ing will not make you wrinkles, unless
you do one or the other habitually
then the face becomes set" To keep
the muscles of the face exercised will
not give you wrinkles. Scowling and
wrjnkling the forehead when reading
or studying. or when conversing, will
if continued persistentN, soon show
deep wrinkles in the forehead and
about the eyes. You can check your
self of these habits and thus avoid
acquiring wrinkles.
II the eyes are weak or overstrain-
ed, it is easy to fall into the habit of
drawing the forehead down in wrin-
kles about the eyes, thus giving your
self cross look that you probably do
not deserve. Pressing gently the
nerves around the eyes and stopping
now and then to close tne.eyes, is very
restful to them. If your eyes are
troublesome, however better consult
an oculist-Mme. Jeanne La Place, in
the Woman's World.

sasssfras Leaves and Fruit.

one of the first volatile oils distilled
In America. The range of the tree is
from Florida, where it was originally
discovered to Virginia and Pennsyi-
vania, and even as far north as New
York and the New England states it
is quite abundant in the south-central
states. especially Kentucky, Tennessee
and Arkansas. The production OF this
oil attained commercial significance
early in the last century, and it is dis
TILED extensively at present in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia, also to less ex-
tent in Ohio, Indiana and New York
Although the distillation of this
very fragrant OIL which is obtained
principally from the bark of the root
OF the tree, has assumed a strong COM
mercial aspect, the tree has not been
grown, strictly speaking, for oil pur-
poses.
Sassafras bark is used for its tonic
properties. 1t forms a popular do
nestle spring medicine" and in the
spring market women and men dis
play their bundles of sassafras on their
stands, or sell them along the streets
Of cities to be made into a tea, by
many people regarded as a useful
remedy.
The distillation of the oil of sweet
birch is a further example OF a wild
aromatic plant furnishing oil in suf-
ficient quantity to supply the trade.
Sweet birch occurs largely from the
New England states and northern
trail states to Georgia, Florida and
Alabama. The distillation of this oil

If one goes about adjusting the veil

Wells must be very carefully adjusted
to small brimmed hats or hats with

The lower edge of the veil must be

neck. All the fullness of the veil
should be disposed of here rather than

WASTE TURNED INTO PROFIT
Skim Milk When Fed Alone of Little
Value, But Given With Corn In
cresses Hogs Weight.
lRv Il. R. FL1NT.l

. Sweet milk, skim milk, sour skim
milk and buttermilk are of practically
equal value when fed in the proper
ton of two and one-half to three
pounds of milk to one pound of shelled
corn. A bushel of shell corn when
fed with water produced an average
of 119 pounds of pork, but when fed
with 1913 pounds of milk the average
weight of pork produced in the same
length of time was III pounds. While
this is no indication of the value of
milk when fed alone, it seems to show
that when fed with shelled corn, 1913
pounds of skim milk of little or no
market value on the average farm,
produced SIS pounds of pork worth
about 40 cents at last years prices.
In many factories the secret of sue
cess has been found in the discovery
and application of some method of
turning former waste into profitable
by-product. The same principles can
well be applied to the farm and farm
ers have not been slow In making this
use of any extra milk.

dates back nearly as far as that of the
oil of sassafras and has developed
until the industry at present is of con-
siderable significance. The oil pro-
duced from sweet birch is almost
Identical, for all practical uses, with
that OF the oil of wintergreen, al
though the plants are entirely unre-
lated.
The bark of the trunk and the small
branches of the sweet birch are used
for distillation, being previously cut
into small pieces and allowed to
macerate with water before introduc-
ton into the still, A yield of three
tenths to three-fifths of one per cent.
OF oil is obtained. Owing to the strict
enforcement of the pure food and

price OF these products thereby ma
terially advanced. Birch bark will
bring from one TO three cents per

A SWINGING TARGET.

Every Boy Scout and all other boys

expert in hitting the bullseye of a
stationary target, but with a moving
target Il is quite different PROPOSE

more experience in judging distance,
which OF course makes this form of
tarket shooting more interesting than
that with a stationary target
Fig. l shows a swinging target
that is very easy to make. In the IL
lustration 1t is shown suspended from
tree branch, which will be the most
convenient way of putting it up in
the woods; but If you use it in the
back yard and there is no tree there,
1t may be supported from the end of
the crosspiece nailed to the top of a
clothespost. or from a bracket fasten-
ed to a wall

made stationary at any time by loop

PLANTS OF FRAGRANCE

Possibly the number of wild aro-
izatic plants which are used in the
manufacture of volatile oils exceeds
that of those which are at present cul-
tivated. The extent of the production
of the oils is much less, chiefly be-
cause OF the more or less scattered
condition Of these plants. and there
fore the difficulty of gathering them
In large quantities. Usually these
wild aromatic plans are distributed
over wide areas confused largely with
other volatile or nonvolatile species,
thus causing the rapid collection of
the plants to be seriously hindered
A specific example of an important
uncultivated plant which yields
volatile oil OF considerable value is

TO TEACH REAL PATRIOTISM

the work developed sufficiently there
would be plenty of textbooks. The

HOW TO USE RAFFlA
PLEASANT FORM OF PICKUP
WORK FOR SUMMER.
Useful and At active Little Additions
to the Summer House Are Easily
and inexpensiveiy Made by,
Clever Hands.

The woman who can handle raffia
not only has a pleasant form of pick
up work for summer at her command
but she can make many useful and at
tractive additions to the summer
house.
The raffia. which only costs 10 cents
bunch, can be bought in three or
four colors-natural color, a darker
shade of brown. perhaps, soft green
and dark red give promise Of inter-
esting combinations. If basket Of
raffia is planned for a room furnished
in a definite color raff1a in matching
or, tremendously contrasting shade
can be bought
One of the useful things which the
raffia worker ci.a make for the sum-
mer house is small flower holders
These are really no more than little
baskets fitted with glass or china
dishes to hold water, but they are very
effective
A pair of them on dressing table or
desk gives an artistic touch to a
whole room, and they can be effec-
lively placed in any bare spot They
are especially good for holding such
short stemmed flowers as pansies,
nasturtiums. forget-me-nots, annual
larkspur, small roses, alyssum, can
dytuft and English daisies.
These little baskets can be made to
fit about old and handleless cups or
deem SaupprS In aithor casa fho hac
ket should be narrowed above the top
of the dish to a wide neck, and then
should flare at the top. This shapes
the basket like vase and gives good
support for the flower stems.
For these baskets the raffia can be
wound about either heavy cord or
damp willow. Lazy squaw stitch is
the easiest and most quickly accom-
plished of all stitches.
