pruning is done, the effect on tree
growth will be the same. However,
there is certain advantage in delay
ing the pruning until late winter.
There is always danger of a certain
amount of winter killing Of twigs and
smaller limbs. Pruning after this dan
ger is over will obviate any necessity
Of pruning twice. Then, too, where
wounds are made early in the winter
the freezing and thawing Is apt to
check wood growth and to dry the tis-
sues so that a prompt healing is him
dered and sometimes prevented.
In case trees are making too vigor-
GUS a growth, 1t is sometimes desir-
able to prune them in summer. How
ever, summer pruning, to be effective,
must take place just after the terminal
buds have completed their growth.
This is usually during the latter part
of June. Later pruning simply starts
new wood growth and defeats the
pruner's objects.
These general principles of pruning
apply to all fruit trees of all classes
and ages.

repeated every ten days, but must not
be used within four or i've weeks OF
ripening of the fruit.
Cut down or dig up old trees when
they have lost their vigor and set out

GOOD LUNCHEON FOR CHILD
oelicacles the Youngster VIII Appre-
ciate and That WIZ Keep Him
In Best Of Health.

Fairy AppIes.--Pare and core enough
tart cooking apples to fill baking
dish: cover them with sugar, and put
a little cold water in the dish, also
several slices of lemon and two cloves.
Then pour little melted butter over
the apples and bake them until ten
der. Serve them cold, with a blob
of fruit jelly put on the top of each
and whipped cream about them.
Ambrosia.-This delicious dessert
could be an occasional treat, as it is
rather troublesome to make. 1t re-
quires grated cc'coanut, sliced oranges
and bananas, sugar and wee taste
Of lemon juice. Fill dish with lay
ers of the different fruits, putting
sugar over each one, and continue in
this way until the ingredients are all
in. Let the dish "blend" while in a
cool place before serving. Fresh
cocoanut is needed, and If the milk of
the fruit is sweet this may be added
to the dessert.
Brown Sugar sandwiches.-For the
children incessantly craving sweets
brown sugar is an excellent thing to
keep in the house. Spread it thickly
on buttered white bread and put the
slices together so as to make narrow
sandwiches.
Quick Gineer-cake Puddins-Get
any sort of small or large ginger or
molasses cakes from the grocer and
cover them with a custard made OF
boiling hot milk into which several
eggs are beaten up. Pour the milk
gradually into the eggs, stirring vigor-
ously all the while; sweeten and pour
over the cakes, allowing them to
stand until they have drunk" up
good deal of the custard. Serve warm
or cold.

BEST WAYS TO COOK BACON
Meat Is Too Frequently Wasted Be-
cause Insufficient Thought Is
Bestowed Upon 1t.

Bacon is an eXtravagant article IN
the list of cooking materials because
of it's increased price and the fact
that often twice as much as is needed
is used for garnishing other foods.
This delectable meat will probably
never be low-priced again, yet it will
always be a great addition to the
menu, so that to know the best ways
of using it without waste is neces'
sity if one is to cook well.
The drippings from bacon are the
best sort of shortening for cookies
and everyday pastry; therefore
every bit of the fat that renders out
in cooking should be strained and
saved for such uses. This reduces the
first cost of the meat very much, for
the shortening bill has scared with
the price of pork.
All leftover bacon makes excellent
seasoning for. meat loaves and may
be nicely Drowned for garnishing by
being dipped into egg batter and then
into fine crumbs and placed in hot
oven, on a bacon rack, until golden
brown.
If you have never broiled bacon on
a rack you have culinary treat in
store, for even inferior bacon becomes
fine tasting when broiled so and best
bacon delicious. Any wire broiler or
oven rack may be used; the slices are
spread out, just touching. not cover
ing, one another, on it and placed over
a dripping pan in a hot oven.
Sometimes bacon is as salty as salt
can make iteand requires soaking in
hot water after 1t is cut; after such
treatment the salt is not too apparent
The best of sausage can be made
at home with the following ingredi'
ents: O1e pound of veal, one pound
of fresh pork, one cupful of bacon
chopped and one cupful of cracker
crumbs. Grind the veal and pork fine
add crumbs and bacon, seasoning OF
pepper and sage with little salt, as
the bacon supplies this. Grind the
mixture again and shape into cakes
and fry. Cold meat Of any sort may
be used in place of the veal.

STONY SOILS FOR ORCHARDS
Often Recommended as Desirable for
Fruit-SoiI Must Be Brought to
Productive State.

A stony loan is often recommended
as desirable fruit soil, but stones are
advantageous only in that, they may
help a soil that is too heavy or clayey
or too impervious, by making it some
what more pervious to water. The
fact that a soil is stony does not
necessarily imply that it is produc'
tive.
If apples are to be grown with
profit, and competition is keen, the
soil must be productive or at least
capable of being brought to proauc'
tive state and so maintained.
Much of the current belief that
STONY" soils possess some peculiar ad-
vanGeg ge for orchard fruits has un'
doubtedly arisen from the success OF
many orchards located on stony hills

Pressed Flank of Beef.

Wipe, remove superfiuous fat and
roll flank OF beef; put in a kettle,
cover with boiling water and add one
teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoorful
peppercorns, bit of bay leaf and a
bone or two which may be at hand;
cook slowly until meat is in shreds.
There should be but little liquor in
the kettle when meat is done. Ar
range meat in deep pan, pour over
liquor, cover and press with heavy
weight. Serve cold, thinly sliced.
