ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Buttcrnuts and hazelnuts are ripe
now. They are usually best harvest
ed after frost.
Save butternuts, walnuts and hick-
DRY nuts for planting; or better, plant
as soon as picked so that they may
break DUNG the winter and eermi-
nate in the spring.
Large dah'ia flowers may b. OBJ
tanned by cutting away some OF the
stocks and disbudding. Too many
flowers on any plant mean small
flowers and short stems.
Thinning of the bran hes of the
gooscbcrry will give larger fruits.
Wild Craps make good jelly. Grow
the vines over an arbor or trellis
and trip to the woods for them will
be avoided. In selecting vines for
home planting be sure to get the
fruiting sort.
Hundreds Of bushels of frai, are of
no value now because the trees or
bushes wore not sprayed. Clean,
bright, welldevelopcd fruit always
sells well. Spraying at the right
time and for the right thing pays

Flax Screenings Sometimes Poisonous

Some fax screenings contain enough
prussic acid to be poisonous to stock
especially to cattle. Many cases have
been reported in North Dakota.
In case one wants to feed flax
screenings, better try it out on one
of tie less valuable animals first for
a week. The danger from the poison
is reduced if the cattle have been fed
some other food before being fed the
flax screenings. 1t is also well to feed
flax screenings or other flax products
in limited quantities.

Tennessee Federation of Women's
Clubs.
At Tullahoma, on May 1916, II, Is,
was held the largest and most enthu-
siastic meeting in the history of the
Tennessee Federation of Women's
Clubs. The two hundred and ninety
delegates consisted of some of the
most brilliant and forceful women of
the state The key note of the meet
ing was Patriotic Preparedness" and
as a body they offered their services
to the nation and declared their pur-
pose to make CONSUMPTION day one of
patriotism and prayer. The fedora
tioa was most fortunate in the selec-
ton Of speakers, one Of special note
being Dir. VIM. H. Allen, director of
the Institution of Public Service of
New York. A vital incident of the
conyntioa was the laying Of the corner
stone of the vocational school, which
was presided over by Mr.. F. r. Ogil-
vie Of Brownsville ard the orator of
the day being Gov. Rye. The election
of a state president attendant by its
political wjre-pullng would have done
credit to a national convention. Mrs.
Alex Caldwell Of Nashville was made
president, The principal social event
of the occasion was an afternoon re-
ception rendered the delegates by Mrs.
H. W. Stratton of Ovoca. Beautiful

agreements are met, the original SOW
ard the remaining pigs become tht
members property. If the member
is unable to return two SOW pigs out
OF the first litter the agreement con
tinues until this is possible. If the
original SOW dies before narrowing q
healthy litter the banker bears thl
loss. If the member does not fulfill
all agreements, rights to the sow and
her progeny are forfeited. The par
ent agrees to the contract, In writing,
and acknowledges that the sow and
increase shall belong to the boy or
girl.
When the banker receives the two
sew pigs from the member and puts
them out with other boys or girls
I'll der the same agreement, the end
less chain feature of the activities is
set in motion. This plan may be va
ried in details to suit conditions. For
instance, the banker may require the
return of only one SOW pig, and sti2-
ulate that the boy or girl must join
corn or peanut club, raise at least
half an acre of green feed, and exhibit
the SOW and her offspring at the
county fair of live stock show.
Under similar arrangement, boys
have received calves to raise, and both
boys and girls have received eggs Of
pure bred chickens for Matching.
1t is urged that bankers in the
South who have taken part in these
projects heretofore continue their aid,
and others, both in the North and in
tie South, take up the work, as it is
a patriotic duty at this time to in
crease the nations supply Of food.

loges and the Department Of Agricul-
ture will answer gladly any questions
regarding details Of these activities.

BANK ERS ARE ASKED TO
ASSIST IN PORK PRODUCTIONS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

bankers in providing the sow pigs
necessary to enable the boys and girls
to engage in pig cluD work. One
method is the so-called promissory
rote plan. The banker makes individ-
ral contracts with the pig club men,
bers. In each case he agrees to lend
a certain sum of money at 6 per cent
interest for one year, or longer if
necessary. The member agrees to keep
up a membership in a pig club, to
invest the loan under the direction Of
the county agent or county club rep
rcsentative, and to repay it at ma
turity out of the proceeds Of the sale
of the original stock or the increase.
AS security for the loan, the banker
takes the members promissory note.
The members parent consents to the
contract, in writing, and agrees not
t. claim any right in the pigs pur-
chased or their proceeds.
The other method is called the "end-
less chain" plan. This also involves
Individual contracts. The banker
agrees to furnish a registered sow
pig. The boy or girl agrees to join
a local pig club, obey its rules, care
for the sow according to Instructions,
breed her at not less than eight
of age to registered boar
Of the same breed, raise the litter
according to the rules of the club, and
deliver to the banker two choice gifts
(not less than eight weeks old) from
the first litter. The member agrees
also to take out registration papers
for all the first litter pigs not sold
for immediate slaughter. When these
