HOGS RUNNING In ORCHARD
Unless Animals Are Well Hinged They
WilLDo Much Damage by Expos
ing Roots of Trees.

Much is said and written nowadays
concerning the disease and insect
pests affecting the orchard. While
many orchards are quite rapidly ap-
preaching extinction for one cause or
another. there is one cause that is
seldom mentioned, as it appears to be
generally overlooked. That is the con-
tinual pasturing of the orchards by
hogs.
Formerly it was the practice of pro-
fesSional fruit growers to allow their
swine free and untrammeled range in
the orchard. In fact, some raised hogs
for this purpose, rather than any pos
sible profit to be derived from pork
production, believing that the roofing
and tearing that the hogs are capable
of doing would be beneficial in the
way of cultivating and mulching the
trees, and destroying injurious insects.
However, most of them have discov.
cred that although the hogs destroy
many harmful insects, the good done
in this way, unless the hogs are we'll
ringed. is many times overbalanced
by the damage done to the trees in
tearing up and exposing the roots to
the weather. The little rootlets are
very palatable and nutritious and as
good as a grain ration. They make
splendid change of diet for the hog.
but are rather expensive FEED.
The time has come when science
has developed to such an extent that
the hog is no longer needed in orchard
management. In this day the posted
fruit grower can overcome or at least
largely prevent the ravages of orchard
pests and flies. The time has long ar
rived when there is no money in try
ing to grow fruit without giving par
ticular attention to these features. All
fruit growers whether specialists or
general farmers, should post them
selves and keep abreast of the process
sion. They will lose money by getting
behind.

(3) The temperature of the milk

stances each individual may use his
own tools, or the complete outfit may
belong to a cooperative association.
In marking the ice, a long plank
may be used as a straightedge, or it
may be used to guide the handsaw.
The ACCESSIBILITY of cutting square or
oblong cakes must be decided by the
harvester.
After the ice cakes are broken apart,
two men with ice tongS can pull with
little difficulty cake of ice from the
water and load it on wagon or sled.
If desired, slide and table platform
may be used and horse employed
for drawing the cakes from the water
on to the platform, from which they
may be easily loaded.
Before building an icehouse of any
kind, the quantity of ice to be stored
should be determined. The quantity
needed for cooling purposes necessar-
lily will vary according to the local
conditions and cannot be de- .liiely
stated in all cases, though it may be
calculated approximately. After study

COST OF HARVESTING AND STORING ICE

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Under certain conditions natural Ice
may be cut by the farmer at a price
as low as one cent for a cake of zee
pounds, making the ice cost, exclusive
OF hauling and packing, 9 cents ton.
The usual price, however. it has been
found by the dairy division of the
United States department of agricui-
ture averages about cents cake,
or IS cents a ton. In some instances
the original cost of the ice and the
packing amount to 50 ton, buA in
these cases the storage houses were
at long distances from the pond.
One cubic foot of solid ice weighs
about 81 pounds. Considering this
weight as the standard and allowing
for packing. one ton of ice will occupy
approximately 40 cubic feet. The fol-
lowing table shc@s the number of
cakes of various tnicknesses required
per ton of ice (sizs of cake, % by 20

I'm THE SCHOOL LUNCH
SANDWICHES NECESSARILY PLAY
AN IMPORTANT PART.
So Great Variety Is Possible That
the Children Will Not Soon Tire
o. Them--some Substitutes
for Meat.

Well-prepared sandwiches should
form an important part of every school
lunch. They are easily made and
should be very wholesome and pal
atable. Variety is the spice of life
here as elsewhere, aud there should
be at least two kinds of sandwiches
in each lunch. The number and kind
may be varied from day to day.
Cut the bread for sandwiches into
thin slices of uniform thickness with
a sharp knife, and spread the butter
evenly over both slices of bread in or
der to keep it moist and prevent any
fruit filling that may be used from
making the sandwiches soggy or indi-
gestible. Sandwiches made several
hours before they are to be eaten
should be wrapped in a moist cloth and
kept in cool place, or wrapped in
wax paper, to prevent them from dry
ing or absorbing odors.
In giving these directions for max
ing sandwiches, Miss Bah Bell of the
University of Missouri, college of ag-
riculture, says little about meat sand
wiches because most people are ia
miliar with the ordinary ham sand.
witch, and in many cases such meat
substitutes as peanut butter. eggs or
cheese should be used instead Of the
more expensive meats.
Here are some good sandwich ma
terials:
Bread and Butter.-Cut the bread in
thin slices. Spread the butter evenly
on both slices and press together.
lettuce.-Make a bread-and-butter
sandwich and place leaf of crisp
lettuce, washed and thoroughly dried.
between the two slices. Put tea
spoonful of mayonnaise dressing on
the lettuce leaf.
Nuts.-Make q. lettuce sandwich,
spread one side with nuts, chopped
fine, and mixed with good dressing.
Chicken.-Chop cold boiled chicken
and moisten with mayonnaise dress
ing. Spread between bread Add a
lettuce leaf.
Eggs.-Chop the whites of hard
boiled eggs very fine. Mix the yolks
with mayonnaise dressing and season
with pepper and salt. Add the whites
and spread between bread. Lettuce
may be used also.
Dates.-Make a filing of one-half
eupful of stoned dates. one-half cupful
OF sweet cream; spread between slices
of buttered bread.
Pimento and Cheese.-Make filling
of one.half cupful CT cream cheese and
one-fourth cupful of chopped pimento,
two tablespoonfuls salad dressing, salt
and pepper. Spread on butter evenly.
Cottage cheese may be used or the pi-
mento may be left out
Peanut Butter.-Peanuts ground and
mixed with a salad dressing make an
excellent filling. The commercial pea
nut butter may also be used. Spread
evenly between buttered bread. A
crisp lettuce leaf adds to the attrac-
tiveness of this sandwich.

SALT A VALUABLE SEASONlN G
Stimulates Appetite OF Hogs and APP
pears to Improve Taste-Animals
Relish Charred Cobs.

1t has been determined that salt is
a valuable seasoning for the feed of
hogs, though only a limited amount is
required. 1t acts as a stimulater OF
the appetite and appears to improve
the taste of the animal, just the same
as it does human being. 1t aids in
digestion and in general increases the
energy of the vital process and is
greatly relished.
When charred cobs are fed to pigs
they appreciate them much more
when then are sprinkled with salt. If
you feed a Stop ration it should have
little seasoning of salt in it. The
effects of a mild seasoning of salt in
the food are beneficial as a tonic and
general aid to good condition. How
ever be careful not to overdo it.

each to select a farmer partner. It is
noticeable that there are just about
the same number of farmers as pu-
pills in the average district. In any
event the children are so apportioned
that each farmer has young partner.
Each pupil calls upon his farmer part
ner to learn how he cares for his seed
corn, asking him the name of the
variety, how many bushels he has Sc
cured per acre, what date the crop
was planted. what date gathered,
how hung up, how protected from
rats and mice, how much he has on
hand, and how much he is willing to
take for what surplus seed corn he
may have for sale.
This information is taken back to
school, where the pupils compare
notes and each writes his findings.
The farmer partner is invited to come
to school meeting, and the best es-
says are selected and read.
If it is found that the seed corn
is scarce, the next duty of the young
partner is to locate all the 1914 corn
still in the crib, and to test it for
vitality. These tests are to be made
with corn during February and March
