Agent Says Reading
Most Satisfying
Form of Relaxation

National Book Week, Novem-
ber- 1922, offers families a good
opportunity to check up on
their reading habits" says Miss
Clementine Sittel, county home
demonstration agent.
Reading is one of the most
satisfying and enjoyable ways
of relaxing. It's a hobby that
can be enjoyed by everyone
from the grade school young
ster to grandmother or grand
father. It never grows old or
bring if books worthy of the
time spent reading them are
selected.
Books are a source of in
formation as well IS pleasure"
Miss Sittel adds. youngsters
who read well nearly always
have fewer difficulties in their
school work than children who
have trouble with their read
SHelping children learn to
like to read is a worthwhile
undertaking and one that can
be enjoyed by the whole fam
lily. a special time set aside
after the evening meal Tor
reading or story telling is en-
joyed by many families. IL
Don't forget that youngsters
still like to have you read to
them after they have learned
to read themselves" Miss Sittel
urges. Continuing reading
stories to them will help them
learn to think of reading as a
pleasure rather than a chore.
The Big Horn county library
has a very fine selection OF
books and they are very coop
erative in helping you get the
books that will fill your needs"
the agent said.

Delay Experienced
In Completion
OF Kendrick No. 8

Failure of a new-type packer

than the discovery well, accord
ing to reports made by visitors
to the well. ~
The discovery well is rated
by John Parker, geologist for
the Greer interests, as good for
$50 barrels a day.
Log reports on the Greer-Ot-
tun No. / well, located about
three and one-half miles north
west of the discovery well and

at this time, but it is known
that a depth had been reached

scheduled to reach the Cam
brian formation which will
carry the drill through three
or four more potential zones
from which oil could be pro-
duced.
Importance of the oil diScoV-
cry near Hardin is reflected by
the fact that many of the maj
or oil companies are represent
ed in the leasing activities in
Big Horn county. Among the
names on the county records
are those of the Atlantic Re

Oil Co., Cities Service, Gulf Oil
Co., Stanolind Oil, Shell Oil Co.,
and Hunt Oil Co.
These companies are leasing
mostly in an area tanning out
from Hardin in all directions
for many miles.
Adding to the generally good
economic outlook in the Hardin
area is the oil exploration and
development activity already
taking place. Economic stabil-
ity is somewhat assured by the
brisk leasing activity by both

BARBECUE SAUCE.
(MrS. H. A. A., Viennd)
TheChef
Suys-

Last week we discussed spices
in general. and I suggested that
we might look into special ones
at a little greater length. Let's
start today, with that kitchen
and bar standby-the nutmeg.
The nutmeg is the dried seed or
nut found inside the kernel of
the tropical fruit of the nutmeg
tree. The grayish brown nuts vary
in size, and although most are
oval, some are almost round in
shape. The tree is native to the
East Indian archipelago, more
familiarly known as the "Spice
Islands" Groves of the tall trees
resemble orange groves in color
ing, with white and yellow bios
SONS and fruit that turns golden
when ripe. Often the fruits them
selves are used to make jellies
and jams which have a spicy.
characteristic flavor.
Nutmeg and mace are compar-
atively young spices, as far as
commercial history goes. 1t is
believed that they we're first in
troduced into Europe in the 18th
century-but long before that
time the Romans used to burn
them as fragrant incense along
the roads.
When the Dutch East India
Co. was formed in 1000 nutmegs
had been an established CONNER
cial commodity for some time.
Expectation from the Neither
lands East Indies was limited ex-
cept through government chan
nels-this was, of course, done in
an effort to protect high prices.
The Dutch guarded the islands
faithfully. and the nutmegs that
were exported were dipped in lime
to kill their fertility. However,
the French and the English man
aged to smuggle out enough un-
lined nutmegs to start cultiva-
ton on their own islands. Incl
dentally. the kernels with the seed
are from the fertilized female
trees only.
The Malayans say that the trees
will only bear fruit when planted
where they can hear the sound
Of the sea in their branches and
feel the nourishment of animal
food at their roots.
The natives gather the nutmegs
with long -pronged poles which
have baskets attached. When
gathered the outer husk is dis
carded and the aril or mace is
separated from the seed. Both
are dried in the hot sun and after
several weeks the nutmegs begin
to rattle around. Then the ker-
nels are opened and the nutmeg,
as you know it, drops out.

She must decide what work

better way for the father to get

Secondly, there is a hole in

or small rifle shot. Is there any
way to plug it up? With cold
weather coming on. I would like
to repair it.
Third, have a hedge around
my yard, which I believe to be
hollyhocks. They are bushes
about S to 6 feet high and have
blossoms in all shades of pink.
white and lavender. They have
thousands of buds now, un-
opened and which apparently
will not open. The flowers are
almost gone. evidently have fin
ished blooming this year. Can I
cut off the high branches? Is
there any suggestions as to how
I can condition them for the
winter? I would be most appre-
ciative for any assistance on
this subject.
