CULTIVATION OF TREES
ev e, VAN eENTHUYsEN.

The understanding Of soil conditions
Is the principal thing to be considered
in tree cultivation. Crops. climates
and conditions are so utterly different
in the different localities Of our coun-
try that a set Of conditions Is prob
lem all by itself.
When the soil is well-worked around
the trees OF any kind, they are moro
thrifty and vigorous. A great many
people stir up the earth between the
trees, but leave the soil directly be.
meath the trees untouched. This is
mistake. Do not hesitate to apply
fertilizer, commercial or barnyard,
close around the trees. Allow a gen.
erous supply and see that it gets a
chance to sink into the soil deep.
Your trees will have different ap
pearance IL this care is given them.
In the heavier soils 1t is a fatal
mistake to let the soil bake about the
trees or vines. This results in an
unhealthy condition of the bark. and
often fatal disease.
For the finest development OF your
trees the soil must be brought to the
highest point Of thorough cultivation
and kept there.

WHEN THE, MEAT IS BOILED
Sor'e Simple Rules That Must Be OBJ
served II the Best Results
Are to Be Had.

Boiled meats to be palatable and
Juicy must be cooked with care and al.
ways below the boiling point. To boil
meat plunge 1t into q kettle of boiling
water, boil rapidly for five minutes to
seal or cement the juices on the out
side, then push it to the back Of the
stove where it cannot possibly boil, but
will remain at about 1870 degrees Fab
renheit for six or eight hours. A piece
of boiled meat should be juicy, tender
and rich in flavor. Add salt one hour
before the meat Is done.
In all methods Of cooking the OBJ
]ect Is to make the meat tender, to
Increase its flavor, and to retain its
juices. No matter which of the meth
DDS you choose to accomplish this. we
must quickly scar the outside Of the
meat to prevent the entrance Of water
and the escape of the juices.
In making soups purchase the shin
Or leg of beef. and use cold water to
draw out the davoring juices. The
object is directly opposite from boil
ing. By using cold water and cook
ing the meat at low temperature.
we get the havoring and stimulating
parts Of the meat, but we cannot make
a meat soup nutritious unless we add
other materials. Clear and hot, 1t Is
stimulating, but has no food value.
