CLEAN UP THE WOODLOT

and gather the winter supply of wood
at the same time. say specialists OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. All dead trees and large
dear limbs should be made up into
cordwood first, then the trees that
have dead or dying tops. Remove
those which are too croded to make
growth, keeping in mind
always to leave those that will make
the best salable timber.
Look up at the crowns Of the trees
in deciding which ones to thin out in
a crowded group, and take out the
intermediate trees that are being en-
croached upon by the more dominant
ones. Do not make the mistake of
over thinning, but leave the small
trees that have practically no effect on
the main stand of the woodlot to de-

CAN INTRODUCE GOOD SIRES
ON FARMS IN MANY WAYS

The causes of inferiority among
live stock, cattle, sheep, horses, and
even chickens may be summed up
briefly.
They are:
1. Lack Of purpose in breeding
operations.
2. Failure to use good blood
3. Indiscriminate mixing of differ
ent types and breeds.
4. Lack Of good care and manage
ment. e..
In inaugerating the Better Sires--
Better Stock" crusade, the United
States Department of Agriculture
fully recognizes the obstacles to De
met and overcome. There are few
to-day who believe that a scrub is in
any way equal to the purebred or
better-bred animal. The purebred,
particularly the better-bred, animals
are rapidly findinf a place on farms
where hereto the less desirable kind
were raised. Those who previously
were growing scrubs are growing good
stock, while those who previously
kept good ones are now growing the
better kind.
Good sires may be introduced in
many ways, but amony the more
practical are:
1. Individual ownership.
2. Copartnership ownership where
two or more farmers purchase a sire
Jointly, or
8. The agricultural organisation.
club. farm bureau. or community
ownership plan.
Good results are seen everywhere
from cooperative ecorts along this
lime.
The communities as we'll as individ-
uals that have become most noted
for the animals they have produced
are those that have selected just one
breed. and only one. While NO one
would attempt to tell you the breed
you should keep, yet success comes
only in arge. way to the individuals
and communities who have adopted
one breed rather than two or many.
To work out this plan successfully
the individual likes and dislikes will
have to be overcome or minimized.
Where this has been done, marked
progress has been made.

CAN FRUIT Be PRESERVED

ture Canning Experts say Ii Can
And Tell How

Is II lOSSiDIe TO can 1rult success
fully without sugar and. if so, VIVA;
is the best method. are questions
asked nowadays by many housewives
in view of the scarcity and high
price of sugar. Sometimes fruits
needed to make the diet more palata-
Bile and varied during the winter
have gone to waste because sugar was
not available for canning when they
were ripe. Such waste can be pre-
vented; for, according to the experts
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, apples somewhat under
ripe. also gooseberries, raspberries
blueberries, and other berries, and
sweet varieties of plums and cherries
may all be canned in their own juices
without the addition of sugar. In
fact. many housewives think that the
flavor of many fruits canned without
sugar and sweetened just before using
is better and more like that Of fresh
fruit than when canned with large
quantities of sugar or in heavy strip
If the fruit is very sour or is canned
in large pieces, heating for few
minutes when adding the sugar before
serving will make it penetrate the
fruit more thoroughly and evenly.
Fruits may be canned in their own
juices without the addition Of any
sweetening in at least three ways:
A simple method of canning, espe-
cially good for such soft, juicy fruits
as berries. is as follows; Pack the
washed fruit into the jar and. with
out adding any liquid of any kind,
process the fruit in the customary way
for the usual period, or perhaps four
or FIVE minutes longer. The process
ing draws the juice from the fruit
and the canned product often has an
even better flavor than when strip
is added.
Another way of canning fruit with
out sugar is to cook the ripest fruits
over moderate heat until the juice is
drawn from them, adding no water
unless necessary and in any case only
very little. Drain the juice from
the fruit through a jelly bag. bring
this Juice to the boil, and use it like
boiling strip to fill the jars into
which the firmer fruit has been
packed. Then process the Jars a
fruit in the usual way.
! still another method is to cook the
fruit to a sauce of the deaired consist
ency In an open kettle. and, without
adding any sugar, pour it into jars
scalded in the following wey: Cover
the jars. tops, and rubbers with boil
Ing water, remove them from the
water one at time es needed, being
careful not to touch or wipe the jars
inside. pour in the fruit while boiling
hot, and seal each jar at once. This
+, method is not SO uniformly success
full as when the fruit Ii cooked in the
jar, because 1t is difficult to prevent
bacteria and molds from getting into
the fruit and the jar while they ore
being filled and sealed. Many house
keepers, however, can acid fruits and

DIPPING FOWLS IN SODIUM
= FLU0R|O KILLS ALL LICE
Chicken Lice Exterminated More
Effectively When lnsecticide Is
in Liquid Solution for Dip

There seems to be a general sentI-
ment among poultry raisers against
the practice of dipping fowls. This
Isl probably partially on account of the
fact that the dips tried have been of
an oily or caustic nature and have
tended to soil the feathers and in
some cases injure the skin Of the
fowl and give the feathers thorough
wetting.J The experience of poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture does not just
ify this aversion to dipping in u
sodium-fiuorid solution. The dipping
method. however, is most applicable
to the Southern States and to summer
treatment in the North.
The first requisite is rather warm
sunny day SO that the fowls will dry
quickly. Windy weather should be
avoided. In dipping the fowls as de-
scribed the feathers do not net thor
oughly wet, and II the operation is
finished in an hour before shutdown
the fowl will become thoroughly dry
before going to roost. In the rattle,
extensive tests made Of this method
no Ill effect whatever from the Dip
ping has been observed. As compared
with busting. this method has an ad-
vantage in that 1t reduces consider
ably the cost of materials, is more
rapidly done, and the discontinue to
the operator is avoided. It is just as
effective aa busting.
The lice die much more quickly
following dipping than when sodium
'huorid is applied in dust form. 1t
appears that all those which are
touched by the liquid die very
promptly. and the others succumb in
few hours.
In using the dipping method alI
that is necessary is supply or tepid
water and tub. II two persons are
to dip at the same time, it is advis-
able to use a large tub. The water
should be measured into tho tub and
three-fourths to l ounce of CONNER
cial or two-thirds of an ounce of
chemically pure sodium fluorid added
to each gallon of water. It is readily
dissolved by stirring. The tub should
be filled within or inches of the
top, and as the amount Of solution is
lowered through dipping numbers of
fowls, water with the proper proper.
ton of sodium fiuorid dissolved
should be added from time to time.
In dipping the fowls 1t is best to hold
the wings over the back with the left
hand and quickly submerge the fowl
in the solution, leaving the head
out while the feathers are thoroughly
ruffled with the other hand so as to
allow the solution to penetrate to
the skin on different parts of the bird.
The head is then ducked once or twice.
the bird is lifted out Of the bath and
allowed to drain few seconds and
is then released. The total time re-
auired for an individual fowl is from
80 to As seconds.

of foreigners.
'In the year that begins today we
