Raspbcrries, Strawberries and
other small fruits are gaining in
Importance. They grow we'll and
will be planted on large areas as
the demand increases.
Corn, wheat, oats, rye, soy
beans and other crops are grown
to supply the farm needs only.
Corn and rye are the only two
crops in which SURPRISES are pro-
duced, and much Of the surplus
from these is marketed within
the county.
Pork for home use only is pro-
duced on every farm.
A new kind of enterprise is
the semi-commercial garden. This
may be described as garden
planted for the home and for the
market. This has been developed
by about 100 families who are
sellers on the Henderson county
curb market located in Hender-
sonville. The sellers are farmers
wives in most cases, and they
bring in vegetables from the gar
dons described above. Normally
the curb market sells around
$4,000 worth Of produce an
rually.
One of the remarkable traits
about mountain farmers is their
ability to adapt themselves read
lily to new practices. Only a few
years ago vegetables Of the win"
ter garden type were almost I'M
known. When the curb market
was organized there was an I'M
mediate demand for these vege--
tables and for many others OF
the summer variety not usually
found in the gardens here. The
response to this demand was al
most as immediate. The home
agent, the farm agent and others
were called to assist and pronto
the vegetables were ready.
The farmers of Henderson
county are making progress in
soil improvement. In one year
they increased the acreage plant
cd TO lespcdcza more than 1000
per cent. This year at the re-
quest Of the county agent, all
those who are making application
for crop loans are planting or
planning to plant some acreage
to legume crops.
In a discussion of this sort it
is certainly proper to say some
thing concerning the tax rate OF
the community in which the farm
er must live and carry on his
business. Henderson county has
been fortunate to have had dur
ing the past 10 years wise and
careful administrative officers.
While many counties were being
plunged into debt thereby Great
ing unbearablc burdens of taxa
ton, this county wisely refrained
from piling up large indebted
ness. The result is conservative
tax rate today.

How long can a horse hold Its
breath?
The question isn't as pointless
and useless as it would seem at first
glance. With the improperly fitted
collars now used on far too many
horses, the question of how long
they can hold their breath deter
mines how long they can keep pull
ing when they are trying to move
a heavy load, he explained.
This has been demonstrated at
numerous horse and mule pulling
contests which the extension serv-
ice of the agricultural college has
held over the state to determine
what relation size, type, soundness,
condition, training, driving, shoeing
and style and fit Of collars and
harness have to pulling ability of
horses.
When team which Is fitted with
collars which are too tight Is pull
ing at a load which is lighter, not
heavier, than It's real ability, the
dynamometer Is pulled about the
same distance each of the three
trials at the particular load. If
team which pulls in this manner Is
observed closely. 1t becomes evil
dent that the collars have hindered
or stopped normal breathing. and
that the horses have pulled as long
as they could hold their breath.
At some contests competent men
have examined the teams and found
that as many as three out of four
were equipped with collars which
prevented the horses from pulling
to the best advantage.
The average properly harnessed
team which Is attempting to pull
load even greater than its ability
will pull the dynamometer a short
er distance on each of It's three
trials. This Is natural when 1t Is
considered that a great deal Of en-
ergy must be expended In pulling
the heavier loads.

Packing in Lard Good
Way to Keep Sausage


To keep sausage during the cool
months, Miss Alice NJ. Child, home
economist, Minnesota University

method is to make the sausage into
pattles and fry until a delicate
brown and thoroughly cooked. Pack
In a sterilized crock and cover well
with hot lard. Beef patties may

ner.
The second method Is as~fOllows:
Pack a small crock or a two-quart
jar with raw sausage, pressing meat
down firmly. Bake In slow oven
900 degrees F.), two and one-half
hours for jars, or three hours for
crooks. The fat which rises to the
top will form a seal when it cooks
and solidifies. If the fat is not
two inches thick, add little hot
lard. This method sterilizes the
container, cooks the meat and rem
ders some of the lard for sealing.
Miss Child cautions that the sau-
sage should be thoroughly cooked.
Some interesting uses for sau-
sage, suggested by Miss Child, in
clude: Baked squash stuffed with
sausage, or green peppers stuffed
with sausage, or cottage pie with
sausage. Cottage pie is made by
placing the cooked sausage In a
baking dish, covering it with
mashed potatoes and browning in
the oven, or until the sausage and
potato are thoroughly heated.
