FOR BINDING SPRAINED ANKLE
Some Simple Directions That Will Be
Found Useful in Case of
Accident.

Take strip of adhesive plaster
about two inches wide and twelve
inches long. Starting about the lower
third of the leg, bring it down under
the arch Of the foot and up the oppo-
site side of the ankle, drawing it
tightly under the arch. Overlap this
about One-half inch with another
piece the same width and length.
Then, using one-nch-wide adhesive,
start from the heel and apply short
strips, each one overlapping the other
by about one-half inch, to meet and
overlap the broad strip on both sides,
running these strips up as far as the
lower third of the leg. Over these mar
row strips apply twO-inch strips of
the same length, starting from the
same point and running up the same
distance, each one overlapping the
other. Then draw couple of short,
wide strips tightly under the arch, and
narrow strip under the sole of the
foot and up the course Of the tendon

the medlum-sized or large ones, they
may prove costly In the end. especially
If they lack the vitality necessary to
make a good growth after being
planted.
Apple, plum, pear, and cherry trees
are commonly planted as two-year-
olds; that is, after they have made
two seasons growth In the nursery,
though many growers prefer One-year-
old trees, especially apple and cherry.
Peaches are invariably planted as one
year-Olds.
Nursery trees should always he
packed in such a way that the roots
will not dry out, and upon delivery
at the place where they are to be
planted they should be unpacked i'm
mediately. Unless the trees can be
planted at once, they should be heeled
in. A place that is well drained, with
a deep mellow soil, should be selected
for heeling in the trees. A trench is
dug of sufficient width and depth to
receive the roots, and the trees are
carefully placed in this trench. Trees
that are tied in bundles should be sep
arated before heeling in, and the earth
should be worked around the roots of
each tree to prevent drying to any
serious extent.
Preparation for Planting.
Thorough preparation of the soil is
just as important for planting an or
chard as for planting corn or wheat.
Deep plowing and thorough harrow
ing are very essential. II is very
good plan to grow some cultivated
crop on the land the year preceding
the setting of the orchard. This crop
will not only put the land in better
mechanical condition, but if a legum-
inous crop, it will increase the plant

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyeSight Is
failing or not so good as it should be,
but when it comes to needle-threading
you are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting a refractory thread into a
ncedle-eye which you DO not see. Do
it this way:
Thrust the needle through Il piece of
cardboard or stiff paper just as far
MS the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this: Some day
when the light is good, thread whole
package of needles upon spool of
thread. Then instead of poking over
one needle at time, while you are
sewing all you have to do is to break
off needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There is q contrivance now on the
market consisting of a small magnify
ing glass which fustens on the spool
and magnities the needle-eye.

Greatest Ease.

prepared by tine United States Depart

Where the site selected for an or
chard consists of steep slopes, the
trees should be planted with reference
to the contour of the land. The rows
should be made in such a way that
erosion of the soil will be reduced to a
minimum, and that tillage, spraying,
and harvesting operations may be con-
Quoted with the greatest possible ease.
The distance for planting is gov
erned by the kinds of fruit to be grown,
the habit of growth of the variety, and
the fertility of the soil. Peaches may
be planted from IS to % feet apart,
pears about "a feet apart, and apples
from 30 to 40 feet apart.
Mixed paintings, such as apples and
peaches, are sometimes profitable, but
the management problems are less
complicated when each fruit is planted
by itself. Each variety should be
planted in separate block to facilitate

added. Sour cream may be substituted
for sweet cream in any salad dressing.
Cottage Cheese.-Pour boiling water

will cook the milk enough so that it
may be drained in a sieve. Season

is used, this method makes tender

cesSiOn of ripe fruit over long period,
a greater number of varieties may be
used than where the ripe fruit is de-
sired over short period of time. The
number of varieties of one kind of

Kind of Trees to Plant.
Only trees that are thrifty and we'll

tops should be planted. Thrifty, we'll
grown trees need not be the largest
trees to be found in the nursery, but
often medium-sized trees will be as
desirable as the larger ones. The
smaller grades in many cases consist
of trees which are weak and stunted,
and often the root systems may be
very poor. Though the small trees
may be bought at a lower price than

The loss occurring from the con-
demnation of the heads of beef ami
mails because of "big jaw" or what is
perhaps more commonly known as
"lumpy jaw" is surprisingly large.I
Treatment of this disease is very suc-
cessful if taken during the incipient
stages, and even when the disease is
well advanced it is controlled by vet
erinary skill in many cases. There is
some question concerning the direct
transmission of this disease from one
animal to another but there Is no ques-
tions about the folly Of taking chance
on any loathsome disease among ami
mails on the farm. Any nodule or alb
scess formation about the jaws or
necks of cattle should be looked upon
with suspicion and attended to at
once.

food in the soil. Preliminary to dig
ging the holes for the trees, many
growers plOw one or two burrows as
deep as practicable along the line
where the tree row is to go. This
plOwing saves considerable digging
when planting the trees.
Setting the Trees.
Success in planting trees is made
possible by avoiding unnecessary ex-
posure of the roots and by thorough
firming Of the soil about the trees.
Pudding the roots is a common prac-
tice where the roots are apt to be eX-
posed during planting operations.
In preparing the tree for planting,
all bruised or broken roots should be
cut off, and all excessively long roots
should be pruned back to correspond
holes for the trees should be large
enough to admit the roots without
bending and crowding, and deep
enough so that when filled the trees

they were in the nursery. The trees
should be set with a slant toward the
direction Of the prevailing winds, After
the trees are set they should be pruned
back. One-year-old trees are usually
cut back to a single stem IS to 80
inches high, but if the trees are very
large three or four short stubs are
left at the top of the main stem so as
to insure the growth of branches at
the point where it is desired to form
the head of the tree. Two-year-Old
trees should have short stubs left
which are carefully selected to form
the scAffold limbs of the trees.

self-sterile variety should be located
near a block which contains a variety
that is good pollenizer.
Selection of Varieties.
A great measure of the success with
an orchard depends upon the proper
selection of the varieties of fruit to
be grown. This selection of varieties
requires considerable care, and it is
always well to find out what varieties
do best in the particular locality, and
also to consult the best authorities in
the state. The number of varieties to be
grown will depend upon the purpose,
whether they are for home use or for
market, and upon the kind of fruit.
Where the purpose is to have sue
