CULTURE OF TIE BURBERRY
Much l.Ei "a United SeateS Suited ter
Nothing EIse-Berries Stand
Shipment Well.
(By r. G.. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G. wEATHERSTONE.)
Blueberries thrive in acid soils and
there is a large amount of naturally
acids lands in the east United States
that are fit for nothing else On which
blueberries could be raised profitably.
There are two methods of propa-
eating the BURBERRY plant. The first,
which is suited to upland soils. is to
set the plants in trenches or separate
holes in well-rotted peat about a foot
deep and mulch the surface we'll 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 in 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
feit-the huckleberry. The BURBERRY
Is plump, large and it's 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 crackles between the teeth.
The blueberries stand shipment
well and If growers will take pains to
insist that their product be not con-
fused with huckleberrtes and sold at
the same price they will be better off.

dates back nearly as far as hat 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 r entirely unr
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-ifths of one per cent.
of oil is obtained. Owing to the strict
enforcement of the pure food and
drug act a more active demand for
the natural oils of sweet birch and
w~intergreen has resulted, and the
price of these products thereby ma
tertally advanced. Birch bark will
bring from one to three cents per
pound.

No man ever attracted warmer
friends than did Whittier and they
formed a rare circle about the poets
simple life. With William Lloyd Gar
rison he found joy in work for re-
forms in existing evils. When Bayard
Taylor died. a tender bond was snap
ped, but Whittier wrote in regard to
his loss: The lear God has not

Hawthorne's picture hung In Whit

whom he was deeply attached were
Starr King, DR.. Holmes, Longfellow,
Lowell, Lucretia Mott and Harriet
Beecher Stowe. Gail Hamilton worked
him a pair Of slippers that delighted
him. Upon each one was an American
eagle.
Whittier Is said to have been color
blind. A good family story illustrated
this defect. The heat from his fire.
place defaced some of the wallpaper.
The poet obtained some paper of the
same pattern and carefully matched
1t to that on the wall.
He could eve quite appreciate the
huge joke this was in the family,
when it was seen that he had matched
a strip of bright red autumn tinted
vines to a fresh green one.

WASTE TURNED INTO PROFIT
Skim Milk When Fed Alone Of Little
Value, But Given With Corn In
creases Hogs Weight.
CIV II. R. FL1Nra

(By II. II. fL1TNI.)
Sweet milk, skim milk, our 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
corr A bushel of shell corn when
fed with water produced IN average
of 11.9 pounds of pork, but when fed
with 1853 pounds Of milk the average
weight Of pork produced in the same
length Of time was Ut pounds. While
this is NO indication of the value Of
milk when fed alone, it seems to show
that when fed with shelled corn, 153
pounds Of skim milk of little or no
market value on the average farm,
produced So 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 a 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.

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 Pennsyl-
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
titled extensively at present in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia, also to a 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 ONE and men dis
play their bundles Of s%assafras 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-
t1cient quantity to supply the trade.
Sweet birch occurs largely from the
New England states and north-cen-
trail states to Georgia, Florida and
Alabama. The distillation OF this oil

ON SERVING CHERRIES
MANY USES FOR THIS DELICIOUS
EARLY FRUIT.
Served Fresh and Cold for Breakfast
They Are Both Appetizing and
HealthfuI-Various Waye
Of COOKING.

Cherries are the first of the fruits
Of the SUMMERTIME first, that Is, OF
the fruits Of the summer trees.
Plums, pears and peaches are still
served only in the feasts of dream
land when cherries are ripe. Hence,
they are generally greeted with an
enthusiasm not bestowed on any OF
the later fruits.
Cherries served fresh n cold on
their own stems for breakfast are SO
delicious that no other way of serv-
ing them at that meal could be bet
ter. But pitted and sprinkled with
sugar and a bit of lemon juice, they
serve as an appetizer and at the same
time lose none of their delicate
flavor. Another way, of preparing
them for breakfast is to pit them and
mix them with sugar-in the proper
ton of half a cupful to a pint OF cher
ries-and cook them until they are
just tender. Then pour them over
buttered toast.
Cherry sour has been made. but 1t
could hardly be more than the result
of an effort to serve cherries In a new
n unexpected way. However, at
every course save the soup course
cherries can be legitimately served.
Cherry cocktails are made in this
way: Stone ripe cherries. chop them
fine, add a tablespoonful of lemon
juice to each cupful of cherries.

either In cocktail glasses or else IN
lemon skin cups, made by removing
part of one side of a sufficient num-
Der Of lemons, cutting a bit Of the
rind from the other side. removing
all the pulp and juice and washing
and chilling the shells.
Cherries served with French toast
can be used as an entree. 70 make
them cut rings half an inch thick

cherries with sugar enough to sweet
en- them, drain and pile in the middle
OF a dish. Surround them with the
fried bread rings and serve them with
the juice of the cherries thickened
with a little cornstarch and favored
with orange juice.

PLANTS OF FRAGRANCE

Sweet Birch Found In Many

(By F. RABAK.)


Possibly the number Of wild aro-
matte plants which are used in the
manufacture of volatile oils exceeds
hat 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 plants 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 a
Volatile oil of considerable value is

colts navel will become inf1amed.
Colts ranging from a few days to three
or more months old are susceptible to
