and a very small portion OF something
else. There are national kitchens in
different parts Of the town, supplying
similar meals. Glasses of weak tea
were sold at so kopecks each, without
sugar. My sister had sent me a small

journey and often travelled for eight.
Today, after heated bargaining, I got

We're white with deep snow, less well
cleaned than the Petrograd streets of
this year, but better cleaned than the
Moscow streets of last year. The
tramways were running. There seemed
to be at least as many sledges as
usual, and the horses were in slightly
better condition than last summer,
when they were scarcely able to drag
themselves along. 1 asked the reason
OF the improvement, and the driver
told me the horses were now ratfoned
like human beings, and all got a
small allowance of oats. There were
crowds of people, but the number of
closed shops were very depressing I
did not then know that this was due
to the naturalization of trade and n
sort of general stock taking, the, OBJ

satisfy them that he really needs n
new suit for himself. He is then given
the right to buy a suit. In this way an
attempt is made to prevent specula-
ton and to insure a more or less
equitable distribution of the made
quate stocks.

DISLIKE SONS To GROW UP
Few Mothers Welcome the Time When
Their Boys Go Out Into the
Hard World.

Almost every mother keeps her boy
in knee pants" just as long as she
IAN; she hates to see him becoming a
man, for she feels that he is getting
away from her.
A mother sees only with reluctance
the boy pass from the love and care
and peace with which she has sur
rounded him, out into the world Of
pitiless endeavor in which he must
play his part.
The mothers selfish fondness dis
closes itelf in the ludicrous child's
garment and the wornout, home-bred
horse with which she sends forth the
would-be knight. These are to the
modern analytical mind painfully SYM
bo!ic of the unconscious interference
on the part of parents with the proper
adult equipment of their children for
IN independent life. Their apparent
fondness conceals the unconscious wish
that the child will find himself un-
equipped for the greater world and
compelled to turn back to the shelter.

NUT TREES ARE VERY
PROFITABLE ON FARM
Fairly We|I-Balanced Ration for
Human Beings.
There Are Very Few Farms or Lots
Which Could Not Advantageous
Iy Be Planted to Some Kind
Of Nut-Producing Trees.

Nuts form the only vegetable prod
uct raised in this country which in the
raw condition furnishes n complete
and fairly weli-balanced ration for hui
man beings.
In many parts of the country elder
~ persons. past their period of activ,
ity, are nov deriving an income suffi-
cient to pay taxes, insurance and gen.
eral upkeep of the home property from
crops Of nuts derived from trees which
they planted during their younger
days while their neighbors were plant
ing shade trees.
There are very few farms or city
lots in the entire country which could
not p%roftably be planted to some kind
of n~ut-producing trees. The income
may not always be important, but
whatever it Is will be clear gain. It
costs no more to plant a nut-bearing
tree than It does n that produces
nothing but shade. Nut trees are COM
. monty regarded as being slow in com
ing into bearing. The black walnut
and hickory are popularity regarded as
being of too slow a growth to develop
into useful shade trees during the av-
erage lifetime of man.
AS q matter Of fact, on the contrary,
walnuts Of certain superior varieties
now being propagated are so preco-
cious as not %infrequently to bear nuts
while still in the nursery. In a num-
her Of instances from a peck to a half
bushel Of nuts have been borne by
trees ten to twelve years old. No ex-
act figures as to yields Of hickories
are available, but some of the varie-
ties are bearing at from twelve to if
teen years old.
In regard to the chestnut, which is
now being largely wiped out of ex-
istence by the bark disease introduced
from Asia about 1900, efforts are be-
ing made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to hybridize the
japanese chestnut. which is largely re.
'sistant to the blight but of inferior
quality, with the native chinquapin OF
dwarf chestnut.

What is more inviting to n farmer
than to come in from the barn on a
cold, blustery winter morning to find
on his breakfast table a dish well laden
with hOme-cured ham, juicy, tender,
and smoking hot? Why do not more
farmers convert their crop of summer
pigs into meat for their WI use in
stead of selling it on the market and
buying cured meats and high-priced
pork products? There is profit in the
transaction for the dealer and for the
packer, but none for the farmer, who
besides sacrificing profit has also given
away n Of his most valuable privi-
leges-that Of growing and preparing
his W food products.
Turn Wastes Into Profit.
Any farm will support a few pigs.
The waste Of the farm may be profit
ably converted into a valuable food
product through the agency of u few
young porkers. If more pigs are raised
and more pork cured than can be con-
sumed at home there is always OppOr-
tunity for it's sale among the neigh
bors.
A great many farmers VINO raise
pigs feel that the expense of curing
hams and preparing pork products is
too great, but some of the best results
are secured through the use Of mex
pensive supplies and equipment. The
tools and equipment necessary for
killing and cutting up a pig are: A
straight S-inch sticking knife, a cut
ting knife, a bell-shaped scraper, a
meat saw, a hog hook and gambrel,
and an old barrel for %scalding.
Many farms have an outbuilding
while others have regular brick smoke
houses in which the hams, shoulders,
and bacons may be lung and smoked.
A very satisfactory smokehOuse can
be constructed, as shown in the &C.
companying sketch. For a few pigs
such small equipment is ample, but
where many are to be killed and cured
the equipment will need TO be enlarged
SO that all the meat of a single killing
can be cured at once.
The smoking process not only helps
to preserve the meat but also imparts
q very delicate and desirable flavor
which cannot be obtained in any other
way.
The meat for smoking, if brine-cured,
should be taken from the brine,
soaked in water for half al hour,
washed, and hung in the s~lnokehouse
to drain. 1t should dry for "a hours
before the fire is started. Hang the
meat at a distance from he fire so
it will warm up gradually and not be-
come too hot. Take care that the
pieces do not touch one another.
For fuel, use green hickory, maple,
or any hard wood. Never use resin

a lot of meat is from 36 to As hours.
but a slower and longer smoking is
desirable If the meat is to be kept for
q long time.

ECONOMIC SUGGESTIONS

Cleanliness is the most inn
portant factor in butchering and
curing meats, says the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture in Farmers Bulletin 913.
Meat becomes tainted very cas-
lily.
Save all pieces Of meat for
sausage. There are many ways
of converting it into a palatable
product.
All waste fat, trimmings, and
skin should be rendered and the
product used to make soap.
Bones should be crushed or
ground for chicken feed.
Never put meat in cure before
the animal heat is out of it.
Always pack meat skin-side-
down when in the curing process,
except the top layer in a brine
cure, which should be turned
aeSh-Side down.
Keep close watch on the brine,
and If it becomes "ropy," change
1t.
Do not forget to turn or change
meat several times during the
curing process.
The fat Of d%ry-cured meat
sometimes becomes yellow, but
that does not make it unwhOle-
some.
It takes more time to smoke
dry-cured than brine-cured pork.
Slow smoking is much better
than rapid smoking, the heat is
not so great and there is less
chance of causing the meat to
drip.
