CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care of Those Afflicted With Tubercu-
Iosis Plainly a Drag on the
General Welfare.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent Of
the Rhode Island state sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies of patients dis
charged as apparently cured" from
that institution, that sanatortum is
a sound investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings Of 10 ex-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted to
$1O2,752, and those Of 211 cases in
1912 to $112,021. By applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa'
tients of the sanatorium living in 1911
and 1912, DR.. Barnes concludes that
their incomes in these two years was
1851, 900. This sum is more than three
times the cost of maintenance OF the
sanatorium, including interest at 4
per cent. on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DR.. Barnes
concludes, however, while institu-
lions for the cure of tuberculosis are
good investments, there is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation of far advanced cases
would be still better investments.

care. Still the owner assured me that
not one of them had ever borne pear,
and be was thinking seriously of hay'
ing them cut down. although at the
time of my visit they were in glory
of flowers. On telling my experience
with strips of bark and spiral girdles'
he at once had me show how the Work
was done. Already impatient with the
hardness of his trees. he caused every
one of them to be operated upon that
same day, using both methods. A fe"
months thereafter he reported an ex-
cellent crop of pears from the hoWers
that were on the trees when the work
was done Though rather improbable
it is still possible that all these trees
might have begun bearing when they
did without the treatment described

the strips were two inches instead OF

WORKING IN ORCHARD
Results Gained in GirdIing Pear
and Apple Trees.
Two Methods Tried by HortIcuIturist
In Northern Texas-IlIustration
Gives Good Idea of Manner of
Doing Work.

Noting accounts from horticulturists
giving varied results from girdling
apple and pear trees, my own expert
ence will be related, writes Charles l..
Edwards in the Rural New Yorker.
This will be limited to pears, since
apples are not planted TO an apprecia-
bic extent on the black, waxy prairies
of North Texas. Out of about dozen
pear trees on the home place, five of
them bore no fruit, though varying
In age from seven to twelve years.
Some of my horticultural friends rec
commended peeling strips of bark two
feet in length and an inch in width
from the stems of the trees, leaving
an inch between the strips so re-
moved. Others suggested girdling in
June by saving seam through the
bark all around the tree, the width of
this seam or girdle to be only that Of
the cut made by the saw blade.
A trial was made of both modes;
but since our dry season sometimes
begins with the early summer, fears
were entertained that the bark would
not heal in event dry weather should
Immediately follow the girdling proc
ess. So, waiting until the trees had
Powered again and set no fruit, strips
of bark were taken from two of them,
going all around the trunks at the in
tervals recommended. Two other very
handsome trees were girdled, but in

same advice will apply to thousands
of farmers in northern and western
communities. In specializing in fruits,
dairy, poultry and other phases OF
farming, many people have lost sight
of the fact that they can meet a big
part of their living expenses by grow
ing their own meat supply on their
own acres. Figure up the meat bill
of the average farmers family at cur
rent prices, and it will be seen that
it is a big item in the yearly farm
expenditures.
Hogs are easily grown. The anna
teur farmer can come a little nearer
raising hogs than he can at other
phases of farm stock growing. OF
course, the more nearly expert a man
is at handling the porkers the great
er will be his returns. l know OF
several little places, mostly in the
woods as yet, where the drove Of
hogs is the mainstay OF the whole
family.
The hog has helped to lift we'll
nigh as many mortgages as the hen.
The man who knows that he will
have, barring cholera or accidents, a
couple of hundred dollars worth of
hogs for sale some time during the
year is more of an independent citi-
zen than the other who carries home
few pounds of salt pork under his
arm every week in the year.
Get a pig" is mighty good advice
for the man who has neglected the
pork crop while specializing on 9TH
er things. A number of hams and
shoulders, swinging in the smoke
house means a smaller bill at the 10
cal merchants and a bigger balance
in the savings account.

A man must have considerable

make It a paying business on a much
