ORCHARD WORK FOR EARLY FALL

Have you supply of fruit On your
farm2 IL not, why not begin now to
make arrangements for It? On almost
every farm of the state there are q
few trees, producing a small quantity
OF fruit. In most cases all the fruit
ripens at once and is soon gone, giving
a supply for only short time and leav.
ing none to put away for winter use.
No southern state is better adapted
than South Carolina to producing fruit
for home use, yet millions OF dollars
leave the state every year for canned
fruit.
Preparing Soil.
At this season of the year (Septem-
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think
that there is nothing to be done then
that will be of any material help. New
ertheiess, now is the time to begin to
prepare soil for the trees that are set
out this fall and winter. Select the
orchard site, break the soil as deeply
as possible and harrow thoroughly.
This work will greatly reduce the la
ter labor or setting the orchard.
Choosing Varieties.
What varieties are you going to
plant? This is point of great i'm
portance. Be sure to make selections
that will provide fruit throughout an
entire season. IL you are not familiar
with the varieties that are adapted to
your particular section, write to the
Extension Division, Clemson College,
for Bulletin No. Is. In this will be
found lists OF varieties suitable for the
various sections OF the state.
Buying Trees.
Where are you going to get your
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? II you are not in touch
with a reliable nursery and If you are
not familiar with the prices OF trees.
the Extension Division of Clemson Col
lege will be glad to help you in this
matter. Beware of the tree agent The

nurseries they represent may be All
right, but you are not always sure of
what you are getting and In most cases
you are paying the agents salary and
the expense OF delivering the trees. II
you are thinking of setting out an or
chard this fall, let us help you.
Improving the Orchard.
II you already have an orchard, why
not begin to improve 1t now? A cover
crop sown now and turned next spring
Will help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
OF crimson clover seed per acre, sown
and disced. will make a good cover.
provided the seed are inoculated.
Three necks of rye and 20 pounds OF
marry Vetch to the acre will also make
good cover for the orchard. If these
are turned next spring at the first cul-
tvation they will add lot of fertility
to the soil will also help to hold mois-
ture.
There are good many mummy
fruits hanging to the trees. These are
full OF spores and if left in the Or
chard will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now Is a good time to
get these out of the way. Pull and
burn them.
Borers may have been giving you
trouble. You were advised to paint
and mound the trees early in summer.
The mounds should be pulled down on
October 15 and the trees examined for
borers. The young borers are Just
entering the trees the middle of Octo-
Der and will be found going in lust
above the level of the Hill of dirt YOU
pull down. If you find any Of them,
scrape the bark off with a knife andl
the little borers will be destroyed. !
The work at this season consists
largely in cleanin~ up and preparing
for winter and spring. If done prop
rely, the trees receive much benefit.

How to Build q
FireIsss Cooker

At the recent canning demon
stration held here Aug 17th and
18th nothing attracted more at
tentlon than the building of a
fireless cooker. Knowing this
cooker to be great labor saver
for the housewife, besides many
other advantages, The Advertis.
er is publishing full directions
for makingit.
A thoroughly successful C oker
can be made at home at a very
slight expense. Suggestions as
to its use aud some receipts will
be published later.
The principle of the fireIess
cooker is to retain the heat that
is obtained by first boiling the
food for q few minutes. 1t is
then placed in the cooker which
does not allow the heat to escape.
The food must be heated in the
same vessel that is to be used
in the cooker. This vessel must
have tight cover and be moved
from fire to cooker as quick as
possible. Otherwise, heat will
be lost. Hot soapstones are some
times placed in the cooker with
the food when higher tempera-
ture ia needed or Longer cooking
desired. These may be purchs sed
from hardware dealer at soc
each. A discarded stove cover
may be used for the same pur-
pose as soapstone and is easier
to heat
Advantages-1. Time saving;
while food is cooking, the house,
keepers may be occupied with
ether duties without fear of it's
burning.
2. Better foods; many foods
cooked for a longer time at a low
temperature have q finer flavor
and are more wholesome than if
cooked on q stove at higher tenn
perature.
B. Comfort; saves working in
hot kitchen, keeping up fires,
watching food.
4. Fuel saving; fire kept up
just long enough to make food
boiling hot before putting in
cooker. In summer, the use of
q fireless cooker with kerosene
stove will result in both comfort
and economy. In winter the
soapstone or iron may be heated
in the fireplace or CRATE
BUILDING THE COOKER.

box. an old trunk, barrel, or large
lard tub, for the outside contain

er. This must be large enough
to allow at least four inches Of
racking all around the nest.
The Nest. The nest, to con-
tain the vessel of hot food, must
be considered next.
This should be some su ch ves-
selas as tin lard can, just large
enough to allow cooking vessel
to- fiu in with little or no air
space at sides, but deep enough
to allow for q soapstone or other
radiator at bottom. A tin bucket
will do, or better still, have a
timer make galvanized iron
one deep enough to contain q
soapstone and the cooker vessel.
This vessel must be- wrapped
with asbestos to prevent the hot
stone from scorching or burning
the packing.
Packing.-For packing be-
tween the nest and outer con-
tainer some material which heat
will not pass through quickly
must be used. First line the
box or other container with lay
ers of paper to keep out cold air.
Lint cotton, wool shredded news
papers, cotton seed hulls and eX-
celsior are good for packing.
The packing should first be
placed in the bottom of outside
contalner to depth of four
inches, then place the asbestos
for the bottom of the nest. Next
place the asbestos covered can
and hold steady while pressing
the cotton seed hulls around it,
leaving no air spaces. When
this packing has reached the top
Of the nest, cut piece of card
board to fit the space, cutting
out a circle to open the nest.
This cardboard cover should be
fastened securely to the nest by
pasted strips of cloth or heavy
paper. The space between the
top of the nest and the lid of
the outside container must be
filled with coushion or pad. 1t
should be at least four inches
thick and should fit against the
top tightly enough to cause pres
sure when the lid is closed. If
a box is used, the lid should be
on hinges with hook to fasten 1T
down.
Food Vessel.-For this any
utensil which has q tight cover
and which will fit the nest may
be used. There should be no air
space left to cause loss of heat.
A vessel having straight sides
and having the same depth as
diameter is best. A special ena-
mel or aluminium freless cooker
vessel can be purchased for SOC
to 81 80 depending upon size and
