are removed from the nest as soon as
broodiness develops, are placed in a

promptly.

FREEZING FRUIT TO
HELP PRESERVATION
Method Has Passed Expert
mental Stage in West.
Practice Is to Be. Recommended in
Sections Where There Is Surplus
and Sufficient coId-Storage
Space Available.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Preserving fresh fruit by freezing
has passed the experimental stage in
tie Middle Western and Pacific states.
The Office of preservation Of fruits
IL Il vegetables, bureau of markets,
has been investigating the new meth
cd for several years and the inves-
tigat0rs report that such fruits as
Strawberries, raspberries, logan ber-
ries, blueberries, currants and cher
ries are now, being frozen and held in
commercial lots.
So far as the process is concerned,
this method Of preservation has all
the merits of simplicity. The fruit Is
frozen In the same crates in which it
is marketed. The temperature re-
quired is about 10 degrees F., though
soft fruit is usually subjected to a
lower temperature than that of bet
ter quality. So long as the tempera-
ture Is maintained the fruit can be
kept in storage. The frozen product
must be used as soon as 1t is thawed.
however, as thawing breaks down the
tissues and allows the fruit to decay
rapidly.
In ice cream, or when made into
pies and preserves, the frozen fruit is
in every way comparable to the fresh
product. In preparing their report the
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture state that
the practice is to be recommended in
sections where there is surplus Of
production and sufficient cold-storage
space available to accommodate the
fruit. Only fresh, sound fruit should
be frozen. Freezing does not do away
with mold, though mold WILL not de-
velop as long as the fruit remains at
the temperatures employed.

Potatoes.
ducing bigger potato yields, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
recently published Farmers Bulletin
1890, How to Grow an Acre of Pota-
toes 1t is prepared especially for
use in boys and girls club work, and
every step from the selection of the
potato soil to the harvesting, grading,
and storing of the crop is discussed.
Best Potato Soils.
Gravelly or sandy loan soils are gen.
orally considered especially well
adapted to the production of large
crops Of potatoes, provided they are
well drained and well supplied with
plant food, says the bulletin. A very
light sandy soil or stiff clay soil
should be avoided. The ideal soil is
one that does not run together with
rains, that works easily, is well sup
piled with humus, and, while well
drained, is naturally supplied with
nois ure. Glover and alfalfa are re-
garded as the best preparatory crops
for potatoes.
Prepare the Land Thoroughly.
Potato soils should be plowed as
deeply as possible, but always remem-
Der not to turn up more than an inch
Of the subsoil. The fall is the best
season to pillow. When the land is
plowed at this time it should be disked
and narrowed as early in the spring
as possible to conserve the moisture
and to prevent weed growth. Spring
plowed land should be disked immedi-
ately, in order to prevent the possible
packing of the newly turned soil. In
preparing the seed bed spare no pains
to put it in good condition. If the
crop is planted on land that is poorly
prepared, no amount of subsequent
cultivation will entirely remedy the
defeat.
Select the variety that is known to,
be adapted to the section Use the
best seed obtainable, and, if possible,
make sure that it has been produced
from strong, healthy plants that have
developed, a gOodly number of tubers
of even. marketable size and uniform
shape. Before planting, the seed should
be disinfected with formalin solution
to prevent potato scab. Better yields
are obtained by the use of from 10 to
Is bushels Of seed per acre, though
the average for the United States is
6.6 bushels. Cut blocky seed pieces,
weighing from one to two ounces each.
After planting, keep the surface of
the ground loose until the plants ap-
pear, then deep cultivation should be-
gin, but as the crop develops shallow
tillage is recommended Insects and
diseases should never be allowed to
get established. but should be con-
trolled by suitable fungicides and in
secticides such as are described in the
bulletin. When the crop is being har-
vested, systematic effort should be
made to select desirable tubers for
next years seed.

CULTIVATION is IMPORTANT
Work Neglected in Garden Often
Means Poor Vegetables and Then
Very Few of Them.

The mistake of waiting till one has
time to spare to cultivate the garden
has too often meant poor garden vege-
tables, and few of them. The garden
should be cultivated when the soil is
in the proper condition and when the
vegetables need it. 1t should not wait;
it is as important as any other farm
work and more important than most
of it.
