found too expensive for use in improV-
ing the farm roads. One or more OF
the following will, however, usually
be found available and within the
means of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: Gravel, mixtures Of
sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from
old buildings, brick-yard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain firm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
er conditions.
Drainage and good foundation are
the first considerations in improving
u road with hard surface. The best
possible foundation is a good earth
road with low crown. Earth shoul
ders may be graded upon each side to
prevent the surfacing material from
spreading, as in the construction of an
ordinary macadam road. The materl-
al used for surfacing should be placed
in a uniform layer or layers on this
foundation and should be given suf-
cient crown to shed the rain waters to
the sides. If road roller can be Sc
cured the material may be quickly con-
solidated, otherwise considerable time
will be required for it to be consoli-
dated by the traffic. During this proc
ess the road should receive frequent
attention with split-log drag or other
means for smoothing the surface and
filling the ruts. On steep grades
where there would be tendency for
the side bitches to wash. this can usu-
ally be overcome by providing out
lets and getting the water away from
the ROAD before it accumulates in large
volume. On roads where wagons will
rot be required to pass each other,
width of from nine to twelve feet be-
tween bitches will usually be suili-
cient. The surfaced portion need rare
ly exceed seven or eight feet There
is no particular virtue in building a
farm road wider than is necessary to
answer the special traffic require
ments. The need or desirability OF
moving occasionally. extra wide or
heavy implements, such as certain har-
vestirg machinery, over the roads
should, however, not be lost sight CT.
A little foresight in the alignment of
bitches, in providing ample width CT
gates, or of giving extra strength to
cu,verts, may save :. great deal OF
both annoyance and delay during som
very busy period.

LlnoIeum Out of CARPET.

Clean the carpet thoroughly, then
turn it worn side down and tack. 1t
will be better to tack it right on the
kitchen floor if you could get along
without the kitchen for few days.
Otherwise, tack on some floor that
will not have to be used every day.
Then put on a coat Of any good floor
paint, let dry thoroughly, finish with
coat of good linoleum varnish. This
will give you a floor covering that will
be very easy on your feet, and i'm
pervious to water so long as the paint
lasts. And the worn spots can be re-
painted as needed. This will, of
course, give a paint color. After the
paint and varnish have thoroughly
dried the carpet can be rolled very
carefully and loosely to move it to the
kitchen, but the best way is to paint
it right in the kitchen so that it will
not have to be moved, for the rolling
is liable to crack the paint and so
make it less impervious to water

aseAFs susi. DlN6s ON FARM
Often Pays to Move Some OF Houses
in Order to Secure More Con-
.venient Arrangement.

The location of the buildings on n
farm has a great deal to do with the
time it takes to do the work. 1t Will
often pay to move some or the Dulld-
ings in order to secure more con-
venient arrangement. W. c. Palmer
of the North Dakota experiment sta
ton tells how this was done on one
farm with the following results: IN
der the old plan it required walking
So miles a year just carrying in water.
Under the new plaL the water was
piped into the house-no walking re-
quired. Bringing in the wood under
the old plan required walking 22 miles.
Under the new arrangement this was
reduced to So miles. The trips made
to the machine shed during the year
amounted to 81 1-3 miles; by the new
arrangement it was reduced to liz
miles. By the new arrangement the
years trips in feeding the hogs was
reduced 1927 miles and in caring for
the chickens three miles were saved.
The total saving for the year through
rearranging the farmstead was 217 1-3
miles.
It was found that the time used in
walking these PIT 1-3 miles was worth
s36.74. 1t must be remembered that
it was not only case of walking three
miles, but it was usually with some
thing to carry.

SOUR BEEF WITH DUMPLINGS
Recipe Which VIII No Doubt Find
Favor With Anyone Who Is
Moved to Try 1t.

Put three to four pounds of beef
(the round is best) in a bowl and
pour over it sufficient vinegar to cover.
Set aside for "a hours, turning and
basting frequently. Brown two large
onions, chopped fine, in two table
spoonfuls butter. Place meat in roast
ing pan, pour, over it the brown onions
and the vinegar in which 1t was
soaked; add few cloves, a blade OF
mace and bit of allspice. Bay leaves
and lemon peel may be added If de-
sired. When Drowned and thoroughly
cooked the liquor should be strained
and thickened either with flour or
grated ginger snaps.
Potato Dumplings. - Cream a
piece of butter the size of an egg, add
yolks of two eggs, half cupful stale
bread crumbs and cupful Of cold
boiled potatoes; put through the ricer;
season with salt and nutmeg, and, last
ly, add the beaten whites of the eggs.
Make into small dumplings and drop
into the boiling liquor in which meat
was cooked, and boil, closely covered

GOOD ROADS AROUND A FARM
Driveways Are Frequently of Sufficient
Importance to Warrant Some Sur

PRUNING IN SUMMER SEASON
Work Must Be Done After Terminal
Buds Have Set-lnterlocking
Branches Should Go.
(By w. C. EDMUNDSON, Idaho Ex-
pertinent Station.)

(By w. c. EDMUNDSON, Idaho Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Nearly every fruit grower has his
own particular plan or ideal for shap-
ing his trees. The same type of tree
is not grown by all orchardists, and
should not be, since each type is es-
pecially adapted for certain condi-
lions.
Most orchard men practice winter
pruning, as winter is the time to
prune to shape the tree. II heavy
pruning Is done 1t can be accom-
plished in the early spring or dor
mant season with the least injury to
the tree. Summer and winter prun-
ing have their particular advantages.
wish to take up one point in con-
nection with summer pruning and that
is the pruning Of bearing trees for in
creased color.
In some fruit-growing sections the
apples do not take on sufficient color
to make extra fancy fruit. We have
found that under such conditions by
practicing summer pruning we can in
crease the color from 20 to 40 per
cent.
Summer pruning cannot be done any
time the grower happens to have time
to do the work, but must be done at
definite time. That time is after the
terminal buds have set.
At this time the trees have stopped
growth for the season and the wood
begins to ripen up for winter. II
pruned earlier the trees will send out
a new growth after. forming a rosette
at each cut, and this late growth Will
often winter kill.
Summer pruning should not remove
the heavy branches but should take
out the interlocking branches and
about one-half the present season 8
growth. This opens up the tree and
admits the sunlight at the ripening
period.

DAlNTIES FOR TEA TABLE
Sandwiches Of Many Kinds Are al the
Command of the Hostess-Vari-
Gus Forms of Cakes.

Sandwiches of various kinds and oil
mansions are always good beginning.
Better have the loaf a day old, and
sandwich bread, close crumb, is the
best to make them with. Spread the
butter on smoothly and add thin
layer of nut paste. The top slice will
not need butter. Trim the crusts off
and cut diagonally across. Even
smaller sandwiches, making four out
of the square, are large enough for the
bite.
Finger rolls, very fresh5 with soft
crust and a paste made Of chicken
mashed with the yolks of eggs, boiled
six or seven minutes, and just little
milk to make it smooth, are very ap'
petizing. Graham bread, buttered and
sliced the same as the sandwich LOAF,
spread with a mixture Of jam and
cream cheese, Is very nice, too. :
Meat minced very fine, with some
milk to moisten it for smooth spread
ing, or thin slices of tongue with
graham bread, makes good sand.
witches.
Fresh Boston brown bread, mashed
with cream cheese and sugar and
made into balls, like butter, only
smooth and larger, looks like great
chocolate creams and makes a deli
cious titbit.
Meats that are potted and already
minced into a paste for spreading OF
chicken, tongue and turkey make eX-
cellent sandwiches Of white or brown
bread.
If the sandwiches are made in the
morning and intended for later use it
is we'll to wrap each separately in
parafin paper. This will keep them
soft and perfectly fresh until served.
Ginger nuts and cinnamon cakes
have some snap to them, and maca.
rooms and kisses are always ready at
the bakers if the busy housewife is
too rushed to make them.
It is not necessary to have so many
kinds Of sandwiches or cakes, but a
choice of two or three of those men
toned here will be sufficient. The
finger rolls are especially attractive,
as they can be daintily disposed OF
without removing the gloves.

EASY TO RAISE STRAWBERRY
Small Patch Will Produce More Fruit
Than Average Family Can Use
Plants Are Hardy.

A patch of strawberries, two or
three rods square, will produce more
fruit than a family of eight or ten can
use. The work is just as easy and just
as simple as growing tomatoes, cab
bage or any other crop, says Frank b.
Beatty, the strawberry specialist in
Farm and Home. Strawberry plants
are set just the same as a tomato or
cabbage plant, and after strawberry
plants are set, there is little to do
but cultivate and give them an occa-
sional hoeing, just the same as for
vegetables.
Strawberry plants are the hardest
of all plants and succeed in all soils
and under all climatic conditions. The
chief essentials are strong, fruitful.
plants, good drainage and plenty OF
manure.

Good Round Steak.

A very palatable and economical
dish can be made from a round steak
as follows: Pound -four into both sides
of the steak, as much as the meat will
take up. Fry in drippings or other fat
in an ordinary pan or kettle, then add
water to cover it. Cover the vessel
tightly, so that no steam can escape,
and allow the meat to simmer very
gently for two hours. 1t is then ready
to serve, the gravy being already thick
ened by the flour beaten into the steak.
The gravy is delicious and far superior
to the kind made in the ordinary way
after the meat is cooked.

Rhubarb Jelly.

Allow one pound of sugar to a
pound Of rhubarb. Peel and cut up
rhubarb into small pieces, put into
dish layer of rhubarb and layer
Of sugar until all is used. Do this in
the evening, then in the morning pour
off all the liquid you can into
saucepan and boil hard for 80 min
utes. Then add the rhubarb, let
come to the boiling point and simmer
for ten minutes. Do not stir at all.
Stand your jars in boiling water to
prevent breaking, and then pour jelly
into them while hot. After jars are
secured turn them upside down TO
cool, and when cool keep in a dark
place. Strawberries may be put away
in the same way, using less sugar.

Rice q Ia Condo.

One-fourth pound Carolina rice, two
ounces butter, three ounces sifted
sugar, one pint milk, one tin apricots
or peaches, one teaspoonful vanilla es'
sence, cherries and angelica. Wash
the rice thoroughly in cold water, put
into a pan of cold water and bring
to a boil, then pour away the water.
Add the milk and stir until boiling,
then cook slowly for three-quarters OF
an hour, stirring occasionally. Add
the butter, sugar and vanilla, and turn
into bordered mold-one with hole
in the center-and set aside to cool.
When cold turn out, fill the center
with apricots or peaches and decorate
with cherries and angelica. The
peaches should be cut in half and the
juice poured around.

SANDWICHES OF MARY KINDS
Some Of Them In the Nature Of De-
parture From the WelI-known
Filings Generally Used.

Olive SandWiches.-Thin slices OF
bread evenly buttered, cut hexagon
shape. Between each two slices place
a layer of neufchatel cheese mixed to
a paste with equal quantities of cream
and salad dressing and covered thickly
with chopped olives.
Fig Sandwiches. - Thin slices OF
bread cut in fancy shapes and but
tered, with fig filling between each
two. The fig filling should be prepared
as follows: One-half pound finely
chopped figs, one-third cupful sugar,
one-half cupful of boiling water, add
two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Mix
these ingredients and cook in double
boiler until thick enough to spread.
Chicken Salad Sandwiches. - Be-
tween two thin, oblong slices of bread,
buttered, place layer of chicken sal
ad on lettuce leaf. In making chick
en- salad for sandwiches chop the
chicken and celery much finer than for
ordinary purposes.
Ham Sandwiches.-Chop ham very
fine and season with mustard, make
into a paste with melted butter, spread
between two thin slices Of bread, thin
ly buttered.
German Sandwiches. - Mix equal
parts of cream cheese and chopped
walnut meats with French dressing.
Spread between thin slices of bread.
Russian SandwIches.-Stir grated
cheese into mayonnaise and spread be-
tween thin crackers.

New Annie Salad.

Beat half cupful of double cream,
a tablespoonful OF lemon juice and
a quarter teaspoonful Of salt until firm
throughout. Cook two apples, cored
and pared, in strip of equal meas
ures of sugar and water 1.-TWO or three
cloves or an inch of cinnamon bark
may be added and set them aside to
become thoroughly chilled. Chop fine
four maraschino or candied cherries
and eight or ten pecan nuts or
blanched almonds. Carefully wash
three small heads Of tender lettuce,
first removing the ragged outer leaves
and cutting the stalks that the heads
may stand. Dispose the heads on in
dividual plates with an apple in the
center of each. Mix the cherries and
put through the prepared cream and
turn it over the apples.

BEST CROPS IN AN ORCHARD
Considerable Number of the More
Progressive Fruit Men Are Civ
ing Up the Practice.

Most farmers grow some crops be-
tween the trees for a few years at
least. Potatoes, beans, cabbage and
corn are used extensively. The tree
rows are kept thoroughly cultivated.
1t is not uncommon to see hay crop
between the rows, but it is an unusual
sight to see young orchard planted
and kept for any time within the SOD.
A good many of the more progress
sive fruit men, who have kept rec
ords of expenses and sales on these
various crops interplanted, have come
to doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of growing
field crops in an orchard, and unless
it is necessary for financial reasons,
a considerable number are giving up
the practice and simply keep all the
soil between the rows thoroughly Gull
tivated except while cover crops are
growing.

Nodded Ham.

Make the noodles by beating one
egg with a saltspoon of salt till very
light. Add as much -four as it will re-
quire to make stiff dough. Roll thin,
cut in narrow strips, shake them out
then break or cut in pieces when dry.
Put two cupfuls Of them in stewpan,
cover with boiling water and boil ten
minutes. Chop enough boiled ham to
make large cupful. Butter an earth
en- dish, drain noodles and alternate
layer Of ham and noodles, with ham
for the last layer; beat two eggs, add
one cupful of cream or rich milk and
pour over top. Cover with layer of
crumbs and dots Of butter. Bake a
delicate brown and serve in dish in
which it was baked.
