EARLY HOG PASTURE

There is a small amount Of per-
manent hog pasture turnout the
country, the greater acreage used for
this purpose being sown from year
to year. Always, at this season Of
the year, there is an inquiry as to
what is best to SOW to secure the
earliest possible pasture. We have
tried a number Of different combina-
tions, but for the last four or five
years have discarded all for oats
and rape, mixing the seed and SOW
ing together or sowing each seed
separately but covering at one oper-
alton. IL is rather better TO sow
separately, as it is possible TO get an
evener spread of both. A very good
way is to SOW the oats with a disc
drill, covering but lightly, then sow
the rape broadcast and harrow 10
cover. We SOW bushel and a half
OF oats to the acre and four to five
VI 'ut- uuit n
ly and make early feed and by the
time their season is over, which is
usually about the middle Of June,
the rape is large enough to furnish
pasture. As a rule, hogs will not
damage the young rape. nor will
they eat much of it until the oats
are gone, yet they will eat it with
a relish and do well on il as soon
as the oats are gone.
II is better to keep the hogs of
during very wet weather, as their
tramping packs the surface and is
an injury if there comes a lack Of
moisture. II the season is Ordinar-
lily favorable, rape will continue
making good pasture thru the re-
mainder of the summer and during
the fall until killed by a freeze, tho
light freezing will not injure it. For
a one season pasture, we have found
nothing better than this combina-
ton.

the most severe pruning and thrive
on IL as will be seen next summer.
When the vine has been pruned
back to the two main stalks, all Of
the dead bark should be scaled of
of these stems so that new buds
will develop TO renew the canes that
are to bear the fruit next summer.
When next spring comes, the eight
buds on each of the fruiting canes
will send forth shoots and so will
any little buds on the main stems.
When the leaves are of the fol-
lowing fall all the canes shrould be
cut off except canes that have grown
from the buds nearest the main
stalks. II this system is followed it
will only be the matter of one or two
seasons until the old vines will look
like newly planted ones but they
will bear much better fruit owing
TO their more extensive root system.

PRUNING OF VINES AND FRUIT
TREES

The Berea people especially should

trees about the barns, lots and
houses. Our examples set in Berea
along this line will be influential
and helpful. There are more trees
and vines in Berea that need atten-
ton than over ten times the terri
tory in the Country.
There were more than 100 trees
that died last year in Berea from
San Jose Scale. This scale is in Be-
rea and it's here TO stay if we don't
muster our forces and combat it
There's just one orchard outside OF
town limits infected with scale as
far as County Agent has discovered
It's up to the towns people to
check this scale. II should be done,
IL must be done if we expect to eat
fruits grown in Berea.
The method to use to control this
scale and many other harmful dis
eases and insects is pruning and
spraying. The limbs cut off should
be burned. Spray with lime sulphur
4 gal. to 8 gal. Of water. Pruning
should be done now. Spraying
little later in this month. II your
trees can be gotten to with wagon
and power spray, call on Mr.. Fielder,
Superintendent of College Garden
He can't spray your trees and vines
unless the trees can be reached with
wagon. Trees must be sprayed all
over to do good-not one side or top
or bottom, but every limb and twig
top and bottom.
Berea people are urged to help
stamp out the scale and make our
trees and vines look better.

REJUvENATING THE GRAPE ARBoR

When one looks at some of the old
grape arbors over the country he be-
gins to think that their last days
have come and that about the only
thing that can be done with them
is to apply the axe. But to anyone
who knows the great reviving power
of this vine these appear as signs
o; neglect of the owner.
II is only a short time that it
takes every winter to keep the old
arbor green and laden with the
choicest fruit. Those old short,
stubby, gnarled stems that can
scarcely force enough nourishment
thru for few sickly looking leaves,
will then become long, healthy look
ing stems that produce the largest
possible punches of our favorite
fruit.
There are only two remedies for
these old vines; the first is grub
bling out and using the ground for a
profitable crop or, and this is by
far the more satisfactory, the proper
pruning Of the vine. This pruning
may be done at any time in the
winter from the time that the leaves
fall until the sap begins TO flow in
the spring.
There are a number Of different
methods Of training and pruning
grapes but they all come back to
two fundamental systems. The first
of these we may call the continuous
system and the second the renewal
system.
The renewal system resembles the
continuous very much but il has
an advantage in that the stem is
kept about the same length all the
time while in the continuous or spur
system the canes become longer and
longer each year.
In these two systems the two
canes nearest the base Of the vine
are made the main, canes and the
pruning depends on these. All canes
on the bases are pruned away ex-
cept these two and they are pruned
down 10 about eight or ten buds
each. This necessitates the renewal
of a lot OF wood and one is inclined
20 think that he is killing the vine
but the grape will hold up under

thousand rose bushes of City varieties

feet high. which charm the eye and
all the air with fragrance even In

but II was so successful that about two
years ago a committee was organized
to carry on such roadside treatment
on a larger scale and In accordance
with comprehensive plans. Funds were
raised by a direct tax. and the county
forestry department was placed In
charge Of the execution Of the project.

THE EGGLESS CAKE
High Cost Of Living Reduced by
Several Millions

The prestage Of the hen is being
curtailed in a new and interesting
way.
She lays a billion or so eggs for
the human race each year, and, I'M
der world war conditions. the price
Of eggs per dozen To consumers had
approached a dollar in some parts
Of the United States, and had reached
the prohibitive price Of two dollars
or more in the belligerent countries.
Therefore when the high cost OF
living looms large in the public eye,
unusual importance Is attached to
the announcement Of the best known
baking powder company in the world
that il has evolved ready and prac-
teal way for the housewife to save,
in the aggregate. many millions OF
dollars in HOUSEHOLD expenses thru
the use Of more Royal Baking Pow
der and less eggs.
Months Of experimenting have eli
cited a large number Of recipes for
the making Of home baked products
with fewer eggs. and these recipes
are being distributed gratis. II IL
claimed that they prove conclu-
sively that the baking powder saves
eggs-in some cakes about half the
cost Of the cake Is saved. In recipes
calling for the use Of eggs, the num-
Der can be reduced and excellent
results-healthful, appetizing cakes,

using a small additional quantity.

necessities Of the housewife Of mod

In the British Isles the news has
been received with enthusiasm. The
