TB CAUTIONS

tuberculosis is not likely to be
introduced into a healthy herd of
cattle if the following precautions
are observed, says the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Purchase ami
mails only from herds known to be
free from tuberculosis or from herds
under supervision for the eradica-
ton of the disease. Don't feed calves
with milk or other dairy products
from tuberculosis COWS. Don't al
low cattle to Craze in community
pastures. Cattle also contract tu-
berculosis at fairs and exhibitions,
or through shipment in cars which
have not been disinfected properly
after carrying infected cattle.

IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPERTY

While building has slackened
down during the past month in Mil
ford. so that carpenters and masons
have not any considerable work be-
fore them, yet general repairs and
painting has been noticeable to un-
usual extent. Painting, both inside
and out, of properties has been more
than usual, which shows. disposition
of property owners to assist in
keeping business working through
employment of workmen in Milford.
1t is wise to have all property put
into good condition before winter,
and especially to clean out all the
waste and rubbish in both home and
about vacant lots. 1t is for good
health as well as good looks that
this should be done. Repairs to Gel
lar entrances, porch A)ors and
roofs as well as the buildings, is a
wise expenditure of money for the
family.

KEEP FARM WOODS GROWING

Farm woodlands yield, on the
average, only one-half to one-third
of the wood that could be grown un-
der good management, says the For
est Service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The chief essentials
in keeping farm woods producing
are preventing fires, allowing humus
to collect on the forest floor, and
maintaining fully stocked stand of
thrifty, growing trees. Do not allow
large openings in the woods; they
reduce the annual yield of timber.
If trees are to be planted, select
those native to the region which
grow most rapidly and produce the
most useful kinds of woods. Natural
seeding in woodlands can be pro-
NOTED by narrowing the open spaces,
logging in a good seed year, and
leaving several seed trees to the
acre. After logging, a new stand or
young trees usually start from seeds
or sprouts from stumps. The most
thrifty sprouts come from clean,
well-cut stumps of trees felled in
late fall, winter, or early spring.
Trees that reproduce most success
fully by sprouts are such hardwOOds
as the oaks, hickories, chestnut,
Eastwood, gums, cottonwood. and
willows, and young shOrt-leaf pitch
pines. In logging, unnecessary in
jury to young growth should be
avoided.

EARLY FALL is IDEAL TINE
TO PLANT YOUR PEONIES

Peonies are such hardy, thrifty
perrennials that they just grow and
grow, and soon become firmly estab-
lished. We are apt to overlook the
fact, however, that new and improv-
ed varieties are constantly making
their appearance. Sometimes it is
well to dislOdge the old varieties we
get so used to seeing and substitute
in their places some of the more re-
cent intrOductiOns. These newer, fin
er sorts are sure to delight you
with their improved qualities, and
it will be interesting to plan diff
ferent arrangement of the Peony
planting.
The American Peon Society pub
fishes an authoritive manual in
which about 300 selected varieties
are carefully described. 1t is inter
esting to note that in this manual
are listed the names of hundreds of
other Peonies which the society rec
ommends to be discarded, not be-
cause the selected list contains
newer types of similar appearances
which are much more desirable.
An ideal background against which
Peony may display its magnificent
flowers is a group of shrubs. Take
care that sufficient space is allowed
for the peonies as their roots forage
deep.
Peonies are such delightful flow
ers that it is difficult for one not to
become an enthusiast to the point of
growing dozens of varieties. If Pc
Onies become ones hobby arrange
the plants so they are displayed to
best advantage. Create a special
garden for them, and interplant
some Delphiniums, hardy Phloxes,
Asters and perhaps Chrysanthe-
NUNS, to provide interest when the
PeOnies are out of flower.
How to Plant PeOnieS
The ground should be deeply pre-
pared and well fertilized Be sure
manure, for if the root comes in
contact with fresh manure, the plant
will become sick and fail to bloom.
Prepare the ground well in advance
of planting, and make a thorough
job of it for Peonies like plenty of
rich soil. Allow about three feet of
open ground to each plant and see
that they get an abundance of sun
shine.
The first season they should be
protected a little from freezing in
order to prevent their being heaved |
out of the ground. Afterward they |
are better off without litter or any /
covering which might harbor dis
ease.
In planting PeOnies do not bury +.
them too deep. The eyes should be
just under the surface when the soil
has thoroughly settled. In newly
made beds they should be set about
two inches deep to allow for subse-
sequent settling.
Peonies are reliable plants. They
are remarkably free from insect or
fungus troubles and you need rarely
spray them. Just keep them well
cultivated and fertilized with bone
meat each year and they will then
delight you with their constant i'm
and flowers of unrivaled
beauty.

INSIDE INFORMATION

Serve hot foods hot and on hot
plates. Serve cold foods cold-not
luke-warm. 1t is astonishing how
many homemakers ignore this simple
and obvious detail of an attractive
meal.
Apple butter may be made with or
without cider and is a good means
of using up wind-fall and other i'm
perfect apples that must be cooked to
be saved. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture will tell you how TO-,
make it.
Use sturdy washable materials for
kitchen curtains. Make them with az
tuck in or near the heading to allow
for shrinkage. Unbleached muslin, #,
gingham, glass tOweling, English
prints, or Japanese crepe are good
materials to use.
To make old-fashioned creamy rice
pudding put a tablespoon of washed
rice in baking dish with l quart of
milk, 1-3 cup of sugar, is teaspoon
of nutmeg or cinnamon, and IL tea
spoon salt. Cook very slowly in the
oven for 2 or hours, stirring often.
A cup of raisins may be added.
Water containing iron can usually
be improved for laundry purposes by
adding a little limewater or washing
soda to the water. Stir it thoroughly
let the iron settle to the bottom, and
draw off the clearest water. 1t is
better to filter the water through
cloth or other material
