FRUIT BETTER THAN GRAIN
Provides Greater Amount Of Work and
Consequently Requires Larger
Number Of Helpers.

Much more food can be grown on
an acre devoted to fruit than can be
produced with any kind or grain. says
Campbelrs Farmer Fruit growing
also provide a greater amount OF
work and requires larger number of
helpers. To the extent that fruit grow
ing is substituted for grain growing
there will naturally be an increase OF
country farming population. This is
what is the most needed to make land
valuable.
The growing of grain makes the
land poorer, especially where the
grain is sold. Where fruit is grown
the chief loss to the soil Is in the min
sral elements, and the sale ~ the
fruit brings money to purchase these.
Selling grain never returns enough
to restore the fertility expended In
growing.

Els there any special equipment

You can secure the equipment from

glass pitcher holding two quarts and
pouring easily, a glass funnel fitting
easily into the neck OF the bottles, q

Cruel or boiled water, wire bottle
racks and a clean ice chest.
7-How should the milk be heated?
By placing the bottle. still stoppered
with cotton, in a pan Of warm water
and letting It stand until it reaches
body temperature. Test by dropping
on the bare forearm. Never boil the
milk and return it to the bottle.

Any house furnishing or department
store can supply a nursery refrigerator
at So or more. This uses about cents
worth of ice per day. A husband or
son handy with tools can make little
ice chest for the baby's milk as fol-
lows:
Get a wooden box large enough to
hold an ordinary zinc or tin water paiI.
Fasten a lid on this box with hinges
and a stout hook or clasp. Set large
pail in the center and pack It all
around with sawdust. Set a much
smaller pail inside the first one, and
back ice between the two pals. Place
the bottles holding the baby's milk In
side the smaller pail, and cover It tight
ly. Line the lid OF the box with news
papers, covering them with oilcloth to
keep them dry. This keeps out heat
and prevents melting OF ice. The pals
can be bought at a five and ten cent
store. This homemade ice chest finds
favor with country mothers in particu-
lar. II can be run for five cents day
or less and is a real baby-saver.
