.JUDICIOUS SYSTEM
OF INTERCROPPING
Cultivated Orchard More Profit
able Than Neglected One
Filters Are Favored.

A cultivated orchard is more produc
tive and consequently more profitable
than the average orchard which is neg
lected or in which grass or hay Is
grown.
GIN the young orchard judicious
system of intercropping may be prac
ticed without causing injury to the
trees and at the same time profitable
crops will be produced in the waste
space between the rows" says f. S.
Merrill of the Kansas State Agricul.
tural college. Sufficient space should
be left on each side Of the tree to per.
NIT thorough cultivation of the tree
rows. AS a general rule, the roots OF
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
of the limbs. A strip may be left pro-
portionate in width to the spread OF
The branches.
zone of the most familiar types of
intercropping can be found in planting
filters between the permanent trees,
and often between therows. The peach
or some type of early maturing apple
can be used for this purpose, but in
most cases the grower will not remove
the filters until they have attained such
size as to have interfered with the
permanent trees"

COVERED TOP MILK
PAIL RECOMM ENDED
Many Farmers Have Never
Thought of Real Advantages
of That Kind.

water.)
Those who are not accustomed to
using a covered top milk pail have
probably never stopped to think Of
what real advantage such a pail may
be In the production of clean milk.
By a covered top pail is meant a milk
pail so constructed that it has only a
small opening in the top, the rest Of
the top being covered with metal of
which the pail is made.
The object of such pail is that Of
preventing dirt and hair from falling
into the milk. AS the old saying goes,
"An ounce Of prevention is worth
pound Of cure" This Is surely one
place where the saying holds true.
Dirt and hair mean bacteria in the
milk, and bacteria cannot be strained
or filtered out. Bacteria are always
more or less injurious to the quality
Of the milk and to all milk products.
This means lower price for the milk,
and eventually lower price for the
milk products. But this is not all.
Dirty, bacteria-laden milk products
oftentimes are quite injurious to
health, and especially the health of
children.
Of course a great deal depends upon
the mixer as to whether or not the
milk is clean or dirty, but under aver
age conditions, other factors being
similar, a covered milk pail with an
opening six inches in diameter stands
only one chance in four of catching a
hair or other foreign material that a
pail II inches in diameter would. In
other words, a pail,shth a six-inch
diameter sqy about one
fourth as MUCH hair as pail
with a 12-inch dian@l "a

CAKE AT ITS BEST
MIXTURE OF INGREDIENTS AN
IMPORTANT MATTER.
Measuring Cup Should Always Be
Used, Unless One Is Especially
Gifted-Other Things 1t Is
Well to Remember.

The measuring cup is the first aid to-
the amateur cake baker. Nowadays
most professional cooks weigh and
measure with great care. To be sure
there are still old southern mammies
and gifted New England housewives
who can put a cake together without
the help of any measuring apparatus
save scoop and their own good eye.
A glass measuring cup-better than
q tin one because it is easier to get
exact fractions Of cup in one that
is transparent-better also because 1t
Is easier to keep it thoroughly clean
and dry-a teaspoon, a tablespoon
not soup spoon nor a dessert spoon
nor one of those huge metal spoons
used for mixing batters and basting
meats-should be part of the equip
ment of every cake baker. A pair of
scales is also useful, if they are re-
liable. 1t is difficult, however, in some
places to buy good scales. Although
flour varies in weight and quality it
is usually safe to allow four even
cupfuls of sifted flour to the pound.
Two cupfuls of graduated sugar
weigh pound. Butter has the same
weight, so that two ounces measure a
quarter of q cupful.
With these equations it is easy to
translate weights into measures.
Never grease cake pans with but
ter. as this has very low burning
temperature. Lard has q higher burn
ing temperature, and hence cake in a
larded pan does not burn on the bot
tom so easily as cake in a buttered
pan.
Keep a small painful of water in
the oven in which cake is baked. The
steam thus generated keeps the tenn
perature of the oven even and helps
to make the baking slow and even.
Don't stand the pan of water direct
ly under the cake, as this sometimes
causes part of the underside Of the
cake to be less baked than the rest.
Place wire rack in the oven under
the cake pans, and be sure to keep the
oven cool enough at the top to prevent
burning. These precautions are espe-
cially necessary in q gas oven, which
is usually hot.

SAYS HYPNoTISM is EASY
Professor Muensterberg Declares He
Can Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subjection.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very we'll, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said
"Hypnotism presents vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do it on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. 1t is simply case of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only slight hypnosis
is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science of dag
nosis has been carried into the field

(By s. T. SIMPSON. Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
"Use purebred sires," is the slogan
by workers at the Missouri college of
agriculture as a partial reply to stock
mems questions as to how they can
make profits on increasingly expensive
land, labor and stock and efficiency of
the methods used must be correspond
ingly improved if the live stock indus
try is to survive.
The slogan Of the purebred sire is
being sounded by Dean F. B. Mumford
and others of the agricultural expert
ment station and college in the field
and feed lot, from the chautauqua
platform and on farm to farm trips
through various counties.
For use In these campaigns "red-
headed" poster bulletin has been print
ed. That head says in red type, use
Purebred Sires," and beneath this head
are brief statements Of the careful
tests Of the experiment station and
the common experience Of Missouri
farmers which agree absolutely on this
point. The station got much bigger
profits by using a fair purebred NUT
ton ram such as any farm sheep-raiser
could afford instead of q scrub ram.
They were used on western ewes
which were equally good so far as the
best judges could tell. From such a
eve the fairly good purebred mutton
ram pOt q good lamb which weighed
80 pounds and sold for $7.35 when
three months old, but the scrub ram
got from a similar eve a poor lamb
which weighed sc pounds and sold for
$3.50 when four months old. Fletcher

Antidote for Loneliness.

A little North side miss, whose
mother is dead, lives with her little
brothers and sister at the home of her
grandmother. Her father, who Is a

Surrounded by everything which
brings happiness to the heart of a

One day she surprised her grand
mother with the startling remark:

Breakage of Jars in Canning.

When breakage Of jars occurs it is
due to such causes as
Overpacking jars. Corn, pumpkin,
peas, lima beans and sweet potatoes
swell or expand in processing. Do not
fill the jars quite full Of these prod
uctS.
Placing cold Jars in hot water, or
vice versa. AS soon as the Jars are
filled with hot strip or hot water, place
Immediately in the Gamer.
If top cracks during sterilization the
wire bail was too tight.
In steam Gamer, having too much
water in the Gamer. Water should
not come above the platform.
Allowing cold draft to strike the jars
when they are removed from the can
ner.
Having wire bail too tight, thus
breaking the Jars or glass tops when

These are some of the facts tndicat-
ed by the poster which explains why
q survey of the live stock producers
shows that those who are producing
the good stock are the ones who stay
in business when so many others are
dropping out.
From the breeding standpoint the
important steps are Q) the use Of
tried purebred sires, (2) proper feed
ing of breeding animals, 90 careful
culling Of barren and poor-breeding
females, and (4) replacing culls with
the best females in each seasons pro-
duce.
Since it costs little or no more
profits to produce an eight-cent steer
than it does to produce a five-cent
steer, the profits to be derived from
producing live stock on corn belt farms
is limited by the quality of the ami
mails. Good sires must be secured and
the herd must be carefully culled.
Last but not least, the marketing
problem must be carefully handled.
Cooperation with neighbors is often
essential if purchases and sales are
to be made to the best advantage.
