Plant Cherries for Beauty
As Well As For Fruit

10 VCiI rs = or FRUIT
A cherry tree in bloom is one of
the most beautiful things in all the
plant world. In Japan, You know
every spring a national holiday and
festival is held what time the cherry
blossoms blow" SO, when both
beauty and economy will grow on
the same tree, why not plant cher
ries?
Any good garden soil will grow
excellent cherries. Like most fruit
trees, however, cherries must have
good drainage. Where the soil is
not naturally well drained, it must
be properly prepared to carry off
surplus water. A simple drainage
can be prepared by digging a large
hole. and filling in a foot to IS
inches at the bottom with gravel or
screened cinders.
Always enrich your soil thorough
ly by mixing in well rotted manure.
and. if possible. few handful of
wood ashes and bone meal.
These preparatory steps should be
taken before your trees arrive from
the nursery. so that they can be set
in Immediately upon their arrival
How to Give the Trees a Strong
Start
Be careful in setting out the tree
to place it in the hole about one to
three inches deeper than when 1t is
growing in the nursery.
The earlier in the spring you can
set out your trees, the better so that
the roots can get a good hold before
hot weather.
If the soil seems to be very dry at
the time of planting. water the roots
freely as you place them in the hole,
until the soil is half filed in.
Every spring, the soil around the
cherry tree should b, loosened up
with fork or cultivator, and unless
the soil is extra rich. fertilizer high
in potash and not too high in
nitrogen should be applied.
If the foliage during the summer is
not showing a healthy green, apply
few handfuls of nitrate of soda.
working it into the soil around each
tree just before n rain.
For a good general assortment of
cherries, which will give a supply of
this delicious fruit over a long
period. and furnish both sweet cher
ries for the table, and tart or "sour"
cherries. for cooking and canning,
plant four or more Of the following
varieties: Early Richmond, Mont
morency. English Morello (sour):
and Yellow Spanish. Black Tar
tartan, Windsor, and Bling (sweet).
AL Of these are good standard
sorts, which have proven successful
all over the country. But in buying
your trees be sure to get only the
best; good trees. from a dependable
source. are worth double or treble
the price of cheap" trees Of doubtful
quality.

PRESSURE COOKER PREFERRED
IN PROCESSING MEATS TO CAN

Maude Sheridan, leader of the
Boys and Girls Clubs at Fort
Collins, and author of the meat
canning recipes published on this
page, sends the following interest
ing method for processing or
cooking the meats TO be canned.
Processing of canned meats should
be done in q pressure cooker il pos
sible. This saves much time and in
sures the keeping of greater percent
age Of the canned product. The tenn
perature OF the pressure cooker is
much higher and, therefore, kills
bacteria that cannot be killed at gig
degrees. or boiling temperature. If
using the pressure cooker, one should
process at from Is to 20 pounds pres
sure.
With the pressure cooker, any pro-
duct that has been pre-cooked should
be processed for As minutes at from
10 to 20 pounds. II the product has
only been scared or blanched, it should
be cooked for Y hours at from is to
20 pounds. When using the pressure
cooker for canning, we should leave
the lid on the cooker until the dial
registers zero and then not remove it
until the steam has condensed and
none escapes from opening the pet
cock.
II the boiler is used in processing,
there must be rack in the bottom Of
the boiler and the water must come up
on the jars at least one inch. The
boiler should have tight-fitting lid
and the water must be kept at tumb-
iing-boiling temperature during the
entire time of processing.
For pre-cooked meat the time of
processing at sea level is 3 hours, and
for uncooked meat, Az hours. When
using the boiler one must consider al
titude and add ten per cent to the
time for each thousand feet above sea
level.
A considerable portion Of the states
area lies at 5000 feet altitude. At this
altitude we add so per cent. Thus,
pre-cooked meats require An hours at
5000 feet, and unlocked meats 6K
hours
Pre-cooked meats, by pressure cook
er require three-quarters Of an hour.
Uncooked meats by pressure cooker
require IL hours.

It's n great mistake to try TO do
something when you don't know how.
Especially such an important thing as
culling pullets. OF course, it's nice
il some one will, in q few words, ex-
plicitly used, tell you just how to Gull
and do it right, at the right time, and
get the right results. Last week we
got letter from the college of Agri-
culture directed TO the women and
children on the FARMS" saying it was
up to them to manage the poultry bust
ness, as the men are too busy.
The knowledge of how to Gull is
worth million dollars to the Colora-
do farmers" says Director Mccain,
and he says, too, that we've got to
practice and learn the culling business
ourselves. Being anxious to get our
share of this million dollars that will
accrue to US as one Of the Colorado
farmers, and being advised by Direct
or McCann that we've got to master
the art of culling ourselves, as there
are not enough poultry experts and
county agents to go round. We have
put in hard work and we tried to mas
ter the subject in one afternoon, and,
to tell the truth, the subject was very
sad one-yea, very sad.
A few years ago. Willis Parker
Butler taught the world that 'pigs is
pigs" We rather had the idea that
"hens is hens" II we hadn't gone in
to the culling business, We would still
think so.
The other day, when farmer, tired
of eggless meals, went into grocery,
he asked: us yuh got any aigs?"
"No, ] amt" said the grocer.
Il didn't ask yuh is yuh amt,
asked yuh. is yuh?"
That is the way we have felt for
some months every time we visited
our home for eggless hens. Many
times we have felt like saying
"Fudge"-but we refrained. OF course
bOarders get tiresome at best but when
they don't pay their bills and do moth
ing to help ont, but continue TO smile
and eat everything put before them
the situation gets desperate.
We have bought everything for
our hens table, from the choicest
grain to oyster shell. And the other
day, when our friend Spencer of the
First National limited that our account
was flirting dangerously with the red
ink column, we decided we would have
to close the hen house and turn the
boarders out to do their own Fustling
And such pretty lot! 1t seemed
heartless to turn them out, but to
keep up with the procession of pro-
gressive Gunnison county ranchers
we knew we had to learn this culling
business, so we might as well go to it,
fully aware we were the only ones in
the neighborhod who hadn't taken
kindly to the idea.
We called half dozen of our
neighbor friends together for regu-

ARE WE HONEST WITH OUR
SELVES? DO WE DO OUR PARTf

Exchange:-
You sometimes wonder, mothers
and wives, why life isn't just what
you thought it would be when you
and the one man joined hands, and
pledged your faith in each other.
What hopes you held for the future
when you started down life's broad
path, side by side
Go and stand for q moment before
your mirror-just as you are-and be
honest in the analysis Of what you
find there. Is your hair dressed as
attractively as it might be? Your
dress as fresh and charming as pos
sible? Your collar dainty and clean?
"Ah," you reply, "but no one cares
for these things; and besides I've not
the money to put into a charming
gown for day at home"
You are wrong; someone does care.
The man who sits opposite you at the
table cares, and, even tho he may ap-
pear not to see, yet he does, for men
have sharp eyes for sweet, wholesome
womenhood.
The man who held you close to his
heart that day when the words Of the
minister made you one, loved you.
Wives, be honest. Have you done
your part TO keep that love alive
Have his interests been yours alone ?
Have you made home place Of joy!
In short, have you made it a honey
place, or is it oppressive with the
shut-in closeness, the vigilance and
repression Of prison?
II we don't find comfort, freedom,
and happiness in one place, we seek it
in another, and human nature is the
same the world over. It's give and
take, live and let live, q real working
partnership with both partners on the
job, that makes husbands and wives
lovers, comrades and friends all in
one.
