HAVING but lately tasted of the
deliciousness of confection that
Yahn g. Mcdonnell, 1903 Chestnut
street, call "Old-fashioned Scotch"
l feel quite enthusiastic on the sub
ject Of its flavor and general tooth
someness. l am quite sure that you
will render the same testimony once
you have tasted it, for most of us
have a warm place in our hearts for
the real old-time butterscotch, and
I know it will be welcome news to
some of my readers that at least one
of the things that belonged to "the
good old days" is still procurable.
And while am on the subject of old
fashioned candies l must tell you
about the molasses taffy which
comes in large cakes or in small
squares. 1t is deliciously soft and
sweet and seems just to melt in your
mouth.
A GIFT that is not new, yet never
n grows old-a gift-basket or
hamper of fruit from the store of
Henry r. Hallowell & Son, Broad
street below Chestnut! It appeals
no less for its beauty than for it's
deliciousness and makes a delightful
gift for an invalid or convalescent.
The glowing color of a Comice pear,
the mellow golden hue of a Beurre
d'Anjou, the pear-like loveliness of
the Spanish Almeria grapes, ar
ranged so that their colors blend
tremendously and contrast perfectly
with the dark green or mahogany
brown or blue-green of the hamper,
are truly lovely to look upon and
make a gift that's out of the ordi-
nary. Safe delivery of these ham
pers to points 1000 miles distant is
guaranteed.
E1AR be it from such as me to, to Say
l. anything against those SEMI
annual upheavals known as ..le
spring and fall housecleanings, but,
since I have discovered a means of
making these upheavals less cyclonic,
I must pass the good news on to you.
A vacuum cleaner. which not only
sweeps up the surface lint and. dirt
adhering to rugs and carpets but
shakes loose and removes the grit
and dirt that has become imbedded
in the floor coverings, and which
usually remains there until house
cleaning time, is worth owning. The
Hoover vacuum cleaner does all of
this, for it is designed according to
scientific principles and has a motor
driven brush, which is electrically re-
volved. Ask to see it at the store of

SHE who owns a necklace of pearls
~ needs no other Jewels for her
adornment, for pearls are loveliest
when no more brilliant jewel dis
tracts the eye from the calm
beauty. They are equally lovely ac-
compartments to the dignity of the
dinner gown or to the frivolity of the
filmy dance frock. A pearl necklace
is one of the few things which i'm
proves with age, for pearls, you
know, increase in value each wear.
A necklace of pearls is therefore one
of the most thoughtful of gifts.
Single pearls for increasing the
length of necklaces are appreciated
as gifts by the lady who already
owns a string of pearls but they
must be matched by an expert. You

known as the "cash and carry"
principle. That is, they have no

retail store, remarked that "'cash

How Much Must An Acre
 Yield to be Profitable

Is the per acre yield of your farm sufficiently high to make satisfactory returns on the capital and labor ex- pended in producing crops on it?
 This is one of the 16 questions that the United States Department of Agriculture urges every farmer to answer for himself in determining whether or not he is managing his farm efficiently. In number of farm management studies in the South, on small farms averaging 29 acres of crops, the department found under pre-war conditions that an average yield of 355 pounds of cot ton an acre is required to make an average farm income barely suffi- cient to pay fair rental for the use of the land and give the operator or dinary wages for his labor and man agement Not until the group of farms with an average of 121 crop ped acres was reached did an aver age yield of less than 215 pounds of cotton an acre make an average farm income sufficient for rent and the farmers wages. The influence of yield on cost of production was just as marked with corn and other crops as with cotton.
 Full details as to this and the other 15 points involved in efficient farm management are embodied in United States Department of Agri- culture Circular 83, "Testing Farms in the South for Efficiency in Man agement," copies of which may be had free on application to the De- partment of Agriculture, Washing ton, D.. c.

eff there are suckers growing up around the base of the tree, the tips of these may be grafted in above the girdled area, but usually the mice girdle the young growth first.
 "Young apple trees may be planted about the base of larger fruit trees and then the upper part of the small tree is grafted into the larger tree above then girdled part.
 "The regular formula for hard grating wax is 4 pounds rosin, 2 pounds bees-wax, pound tallow.

Test Your Seed Corn

The. wet weather last fall greatly hindered the proper ripening of corn and exposed it, more than is usual, to injury by frost while it was still too. damp. The same thing happen ed two years ago. F.
 The danger could have been avoid cd by selecting seed corn at husking time and storing it in a dry loft where it could cure more quickly and at higher temperature than in the ordinary crib. @. E
 To insure a full stand and good growth in the field test of the seed is therefore specially desirable this spring, according to Dr. E. H. Jen- kins, director of Experiment Sta tions in Connecticut. He says:
 Eff ninety per cent or more of the seed sprouts vigorously, it is good.
 ''f eighty-five per cent sprouts it will serve. ~ Y.
 ssIf less than eighty per cent sprouts, do not use it.
 "The danger from low germina- tion is not wholly in the missing stalks, but quite as much in the weakness of the plants which grow.
 sIt is an easy matter to test corn at home. The Agricultural College and the Experiment Stations will supply on request printed directions for testing. @
 "The Station at New Haven will gladly make tests if desired and only asks that the samples shall fairly represent the whole stock"

Save the Fruit Trees

Mice and rabbits have caused great damage to fruit trees thor oughout Connecticut this past win ter. In some cases, damage has occurred even when the trees were protected by banking with earth or protected with wire guards fifteen inches high. The snow was so deep that the mice could work two, three, four and even five feet above the surface of the ground.
 "Trees which are completely girdled for a considerable distance are probably not worth saving, but trees which are only partially girdled or girdled but few inches in width, may be saved by bridge-grafting, '" says Prof. s. P. Hollister of the Pomology Department at Connecti- cut Agricultural College at Storrs. 'If the tree is not completely girdled, the chances of recovery are greater. A very narrow section of unharmed bark will sustain a tree for long period.
 'Injured trees should be protect ed to prevent the drying out of the wood. The best material is liquid grating wax, made by melting to- gether pounds of rosin, pounds of beeswax and 1 15 to 2 pounds of tallow. This should be used on a warm day or kept melted with a small oil stove. Apply over the en- tire surface of the wound with a paint brush.
 "Bridge-grafting is simply a meth cd of carrying the sap over the place which the mice girdled. It is done by cutting scions of the past seasons growth and trimming them to bevel of an inch at each end, the total length of the scion being about two inches longer than the girdled area. Make cut in the ST bark about an inch long at the uppere edge of the injured part, loosen the bark slightly and then force the upper end of the scion into this space, the cut or bev- eled surface toward the wood or tree Make another cut at the lower edge and force the lower end of the scion under, the bark at that point. The scions are cut longer than theh in- jured part so that they will have to be sprung into place. Insert other scions at intervals of about two inches. After the scions are all in place, they should be we'll waxed to prevent drying out. When practical the grafted parts may be entirely covered by banking with soil about the base of the tree. When the scions do not hold in place we'll, a small nail or brad can be driven through the scion to hold it secure.
 "Trees which are girdled at or just under the surface of the ground are harder to repair. The soil should be dug away until the main roots are exposed below the injured parts. The lower ends of the scions should be inserted under the bark on the roots. Then wax as directed and pack the soil firmly about then roots.

OUR FARMERS CORNER
Feed the Bees

Beekeepers should be collecting sugar now for spring feeding. Un- less the bees had some honey last fall when the sugar was fed, they will need feeding early in April.
 When bees can fly freely, at least one day per week, they may be cheaper sugars than granulated. They can use light and dark brown sugars just as we'll under these con- ditions.
 It is better bookkeeping to feed all the syrup the bees will need at one or two feelings on consecutive days than to give small amount per day over longer period.
 The queen will lay better when there is plenty of food in the hive with which to feed the larvae.
 The syrup to feed in April should be thick, two parts sugar to one part water. Add to this one quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar for each twelve pounds of sugar used. Boil the syrup fifteen minutes, place in feeders while hot, and feed imme- diately. Each colony should have at least fifteen pounds, but twenty is much safer.
 Colonies should not be unpacked to feed. Remove only packing on top so feeders may be placed, then re pack. Keep colonies well packed turing April and up to the middle of May. -. .a .s. ..
 Colonies should not be opened in April unless absolutely necessary and then for only very short periods. Iodine Stains Removed .. 1. ~ By Simple Methods
 Of late years iodine has come to the front as a disinfectant. Its more common use has been productive of an increased number of stains on clothing, but iodine stains are cas- fly removed, say scientists in the United States Department of Agri- culture. t
 Iodine dropped on unstarched ma- terial makes a brown or yellow stain. The presence of starch causes the stain to become deep blue or black, while ironing the cloth sometimes turns the stain dark brown, The method of removing these stains depends upon whether starch is present. , ....>., 70, For ;unstarched materials use one of the following agents in removing iodine stains:
 Water.-Wash the stain in an abundant of water or soak it for 8 number of hours in cold water. These stains can be removed also by wetting with water and drying in a warm place, such as over radiator, repeating this if necessary.
 Ammonia.-Sponge the stain with dilute ammonia.
 Alcohol.-Sponge the stain. This agent frequently can be used on ma- terials which water would injure.
 Starch. h.-Prepared as for laundry purposes; for washable materials. Immerse the stained place in the starch and boil; it first turns blue and then disappears.
 Flour.-Used in the same manner as starch.
 For standard materials use one of
