BRIDGE GRATING Is NEEDED
Where Considerable Damage Has Been
Gone by Rabbits Gnawin9 Bark,
Grating Is Required.

In response to a query as to what
was best to do for young pear and ap-
pie trees damaged by rabbits gnawing
the bark, Rural New Yorker makes
the following reply:
Where the trees have been eaten
entirely around, so that the trunk is
completely girdled, nothing can be
done except to bridge graft the tree.
This means using scions Of small
limbs to connect the bark below the
wound with that above it. Thus the
injured area is braced by number
of scions, one end in the uninjured
part above and the other below the
wound. This makes connection be-
tween the live tissues. The sap IS
carried up through these scions. In
time they unite like any other graft,
and if properly cared for after some

There is no doubt, however, that the
crop can be fully as we'll utilized this
way in other western states in local
tiles which are near large sheep
ranges. When intended for pasture
the field pea is sown alone or with but
little grain, as it is not necessary in
such cases that it be supported by
some more erect-growing crop. Ami.
mails pasturing on field peas should be
confined to one portion of the field by
means of movable fences, or else a
herder should be employed for this
purpose. If sheep or hogs are allowed
to roam about over the entire field,
they waste a great deal of the crop by
wandering around aimlessly as soon as
their hunger has been satisfied. The
animals should not be turned into the
field until the seed becomes hard.
Lambs will fatten on field-pea pasture
in from 70 to 90 days, and good
crop will usually fatten from 10 to Is
lambs per acre, each animal gaining
about eight pounds month.

Hot Chocolate Sauce.

One cupful of boiling water, one
square or four large tablespoonfuls Of
chocolate, pinch of salt, half cupful Of
sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Cook
all together slowly until it is the con-
sistency of maple silup, or thicker if
desired. Just before serving add one
teaspoonful of vanilla. This will keep
indefinitely and can be reheated.

minated by slender, branched ten
drill. The hanging pods are about three
inches long, each containing five to
nine nearly round seeds.
The garden pea is cultivated pri-
marily as green vegetable, or as a
grain crop for human food; the field
pea is grown for hay or for grain to
feed to animals.
A cool growing season is essential
for the field pea. High temperatures
are much more injurious than frosts,
which are disastrous to the crop only
when they occur just at the period
when the pods are setting. These eli
matte requirements of the field pea
limit it's successful production as a
summer crop to the northern states
and Canada and to high attitudes in
the mountains of our western states.
1t may, however, be grown with profit
as winter crop in the southern states.
It's moisture requirements are less i'm
portant than those of temperature, but
other things being equal, it does best
where the rainfall is fairly abundant.
A 15-inch rainfall in western Canada
is sufficient to produce a good crop,
while 20 inches of rain in Kansas, Ne
braska or Colorado is inadequate.
1t is a common practice in some
localities to harvest the crop by pas.

PLANTING TREES IN THE SOD
Work Can Be Done by Digging Holes
Three Feet Across and Then
Mulching Each Season.

One can plant an apple tree in sod
by digging holes three feet across and
then mulching the trees each season,
so as to keep the grass down around
the trees and to hold the moisture.
Such crops as corn and potatoes may
be grown in a young orchard, but corn
should not be allowed to stand nearer
than five feet from the trees.

tors find that approximately per

per cent mashed or leaking.
If the country storekeeper rehandles
the eggs and hauls them to the egg
shipper, the number of cracked eggs
is increased to about per cent. In
addition, three-tenths or l per cent are
mashed eggs or leakers that must be
thrown out. If, however, the country
storekeeper sends the cases of eggs to
q nearby shipper by local freight, the
total of cracked eggs has risen at the
end Of the journey TO approximately
per cent, and l per cent more are
mashed or leaking. The damage when
eggs reach the big cities after haul
OF 1000 miles or more will depend
upon the quality Of the egg packing,
the way the lot is placed in the car,
and the way the railroad hauls the
car, especially when switching. When
tie eggs arc shipped in car lots and
both shippers and carriers do their
work well, transit damage is kept
down to as little as 1 per cent, includ-

DR.. Lyman Bucher in his renowned

H. That dancing was a religious act,
both Of true and idol worship.
(2) 1t was practiced exclusively on
Joyful occasions, such as national
festivals and great victories.
(3) 1t was usually in day time, in the
open air, in highways fields or groves.
"a The men who perverted it from
its sacred use to purposes of amuse-
ment were deemed infamous.
81 No instances OF dancing are found
on record in the Bible in which the
ssxes united in the exercise, either as
an act OF worship or amusement.

social dancing for amusement, except

ended in destruction or of Herodias
which terminated in the rash VOW Of
Herod and the murder Of John the
Baptist,
1t is claimed that it educates the
social character.
If social life consists merely in as
sembling lot of people who move about
in rythmic style to music, or in Kelerdo
scopic grace, then this may be true.
But society Consists in the contact of
soul with soul and in commerce of
mutual thought. feeling and expert

Fashion has decreed to class 1t among
social entertainments. and thence it is
allowed to go under this disguise
When stripped of its guise. 1T is seen
to be a sham for an exercise of a
social nature.

If it is healthy as carried on in halls
