THE FARMERS LARDER.
Fresh and Smoked Meat Should Be
Produced at Home.

Entirely too much of the farmers
hard earned money goes to buy meat
that ought to be produced at home.
Every neighborhood should have a
beef club. We have heard of one
consisting OF fourteen members. Each
member furnishes a beef, usually
fine two-year- or steer. 1t is taken
to one who does all of the killing and
gets as his share for this work, the
hide Of the animal. This man cuts
the beef into fourteen pieces, and these
are weighed ard placed in packages
numbered from one to fourteen. The
members of the club also have their
number, and No. I, at the start, gets
piece No. l. At the second killingzhe
gets piece No. 2, SO that by the time
fourteen beeves are killed each man
will have been given a whole beef
killed The heart, liver and tongue Of
the beef go to the man who furnished
It,
THO beeves are killed in the last
three days OF each week. and the
members OF the club go to his place
and get their meat. He keeps strict
account Of the beef when II II given
out, she piece number each person re-
ceives and then at the end of the sea
son renders a complete account of his
seasons work, together win the num-
Der of pounds furnished to each men,
Der.
In this way ths farmers Of High
Prairie township, Kansas, have fresh
beef the year around. do not have to
come to town for It and do not have
to pay exorbitant prices to the beef

SOME TROUBLESOME PESTS
And the Way to Deal With Them so
They viii Not Bother.

Many insects and plant diseases re-
main during the winter on thu parts
or remnants of the plants infested.
For example, the cabbage plant louise
or aphis. which causes cabbage plants
to become dwarfed and have a mil
dewed appearance. remains on the old
cabbage plants in the garden and truck
patch. If, however, portions of the
planTs were gathered and fed 20 the
cattle or pigs or chickens, or pulled
and burned. the pests would be de-
stroyed and there would be nowhere
near as much danger Of their reap
pearing next spring. saws H.. A.. Sur
face. If one travels through the coun-
try he can see great. numbers of stubs
of cabbage plants that were not gath
cred, and these may be allowed 20 re-
main out during the entire winter.
Two or three different kinds of in
sects, and at least two kinds Of plant
diseases, are Liable to be carried over
with them.
The same principle holds good in
regard to fighting atlaer pests. such as
potato stalk borefs the asparagus
