THE FARM FRONT Jokt Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking ,So You Oot A Deer • What Now ? you've shot a deer, so What's next to do? If you want good, tasty venison, not strong, the kind your family will enjoy, there is one thing you must do at once: There is no use whatever its cutting the deer's throat. That 14 a hard-to-dispel fallacy. ,Scarcely a spoonful of blood would be spilled out that way, for your bullet has already bled the deer internally, and its whole chest is lull of it, To get all the blood and, the intestinal fluids out of the body as soon as pissible be- fore you spoil the meat, gut the deer at once. Gralloching, or disemboweling, is done easier by first hanging the deer up by the head from the branch of a tree, but it is sel- dom that a proper tree or rope is availeble, and it is a hard job for one man alone, Instead, drag your deer over to any slight rise in the ground where its forequarters will lie slightly higher than its remainder, Then get out your sharp hunt- ing knife and whetstone. Start at the lower end of the breast- bone, and slit the skin and ab- dominal wall open down to be- tween the back legs. As you start this cut, place the first two fingers of your left hand inside the cut, and press down on the intestines so you will not cut them. This exposes the intestines of the abdominal cavity to view. Betweenthis cavity and the chest lies a partition called the diaphragm, Cut this away, free from its junction with the lower ribs, clear down to the backbone, Then reach inside the now available chest cavity - reach high up with your left hand, grasp the windpipe and gullet, and cut them in two with your knife. Be very care- ful as you do so you don't cut your left hand, Now turn the animal over en its side, and you can pull all the contents of both chest and ab- domen out, for it is entirely free right down to between the legs - except for some little adhe- sions along the backbone which you can easily 'free with your knife. Take great pains here not to cut any of the intestines and stomach. Now everything is free. Be sure to do a good, clean job of cutting, as it is important. At this point, very carefully cut around the anus and the urinary organs,, still attached to the intestines. Cut around their opening in the pelvis, so that you will remove all of them without any of their juices getting on the meat. Now the whole of both cavities can be-rolled out onto the ground and away from the main carcass. The cavity is now full of free blood. Lift the deer up, turning it over on its belly, and dump all this blood out. Turn the deer over again, belly up, and wipe the entire cavity out clean and almost dry with grass, or a piece of cheesecloth if you have it. Don't wash it out with water. Now your deer is completely 'gutted; all injurious juices are out of it, and it is time to think about how to get it back to your camp. There are a number of ways you can do this. The easiest way for two hunt- ers to pack out a deer whole is to use an improvised litter - two poles about ten feet long, joined together with four or five HOLE IN ONE - What's in a name? Here's.

'44 ing soils by what tan be seen at the surface of the landscape is no longer adequate. .Due ac- count must be taken in future of the- possible presence of rich workable soils below. * * * Buried soils, of course, have been found in other parts of the world, but the idea of using such soils, as indicated by the fast- growing pines of South Austra- . lia, has been fostered in this country as opening a new chap- ter in land development. Australian scientists of the federal government's own re- search organization have been • busy exploring the Possibility of using deeply buried soils, soils thought to be beyond thhe range of plant roots. The idea back of this study might be termed sub- terranean farming, • They • planned- to develop plants with longer root .systerns, long enough to. tap deep soils. Many plants already poSsess very long root systems-for example, alfalfa, writes Albert B. Norman in the Christian Science Monitor. 4= * Thus soil considered too poor to carry ,this particular plant might be found, on closer ex- amination, to be overlying rich soils deeper down, within the root range of alfalfa. ' Farmers who would like to grow alfalfa but cannot, according to surface soil indications, might take a deeper, look at their land. Looking at the buried soils of Australia, scientists have formed the concept of "soil cycles." This was described as the interval for formation of a new surface in a landscape, maturing of the sur- face soil, and its eventual burial. In checking the soil cycle of come Australian soils, the radio- carbon method had shown that some were formed 30,000 years ago. Isaac insisted On Having A Coot Whenever 'sea? *as bored he used, to think up a new "help the family scheme" to present to my mother. $he, as a rule, lrumored him as he was not just another old retainer but a privileged per- son, for he had served my grand- father $a rnik Kemalin his, youth. Extremely intelligent and witty, he also had a tongue as sharp as a thorn and delighted, in teasing all of us unmercifullY, even my father. He did not stay in our house but came to. see us practically every day, Not one Of us had ever seen the place where he lived, how could we? He was always in our house, Isaac must have been really bored the day he came to see us with Kadife the goat. That day we had gathered unsuspecting- ly for breakfast, and after the meal my mother had gone up to her room to attend to her morn- ing chores when Isaac burst into the house. Instead of going to the kitchen for his breakfast, as was his custom, lie nimbly climbed upstairs . to see my mother, She was his confidante, his treasurer, his benefactress, as he used to: call her; and it Was at her feet that he laid all his impossible schemes and his troubles which were mostly fin- ancial. "Hanimdjim, it does my heart good to see you work so hard, what with so many people' to take care of your house. I. al- ways say that hard work, keeps the heart young," Isaac grim- aced and grinned at her by way of greetings. "I wonder how you manage then, for I have not seen great evidence of your love for work," my mother retorted. "Some of us work with our hands, others with our tongues," he laughed. "When it comes to working with the tongue . . ." "You don't have to tell me!" my _mother interrupted. "I am quite familiar with your weak- nesses. But you did not come here at this early hour to watch me work and wag your tongue. Let me look, at you. I recognize symptoms and signs which make me think I am going to rue this day as many others in the past." "How you malign me! My whole aim .in life is to serve you, to make life easier for you , all. The other day, when our rot- und Eleni suhffled to the 'cleibr to pick up the milk from ;fleet good-for-nothing vendor, I heard her say 'that if he kept adding more water to the milk she would not buy any more. The subject preoccupied me. The children's feeding was in jeop- ardy and I wondered what could do. I was still at it when- I fell asleep. Can you believe it? I woke up suddenly in the mid-dle of the night saying out loud, 'I have it! A goat would solve the family's milk problem.'" "A goat?" my mother repeated aghast. "What on earth do you mean? 'Is this one of your jokes or another one of your schemes? I'll have nothing to do with it, anyhow," "Do "me the faitor to hear me to the end," Isaac answered with great patience and a sigh. "When I followed the great Kemal into exile on Mytilene, I soon found out that there was not a single cow on the island. What did the people do? They grew healthy and strong and lived to a ripe old age on goat's milk There were hundreds of goats on Mytilene, and a prettier sight than a herd of goats you never saw: I'd take a goat in preference to a cow any day. But there is more to it. Ex- parts agree that goat's milk is lighter, has less fat content, and is infinitely more beneficial than cow's "milk." "But, Isaac, how can we keep a goat in the city„ This ie not Myti- lene. Who will take care of the e. animal, Besides,i don't know that the children will like the taste of, goat's milk," 40 Haninuljim, you make the laugh, Why, in this city people keep all kinds of animals, oven camels. Why not'a goat? Who will take care of her, you ask? I will, We had goats on the island and I took care of them, even, milked them myself. As for the taste, we will soon see if the children like it or not." "Don't tell me ." my Moth- er stopped her dusting and look- ed at 'soap, who shuffled and looked uneasy. "I could not resist this bar- gain," he said. "It is such a love- ly pedigreed animal and a great milker, I bought it for almost nothing.e My mother was speechless, but we children, delighted at the thought of owning a goat, ran out in the garden to be followed at once by Isaac and my mother. It was a lovely goat with a sleek brown coat so smooth to the touch that we named her Kadife or Velvet. She had large limipd eyes, but every ounce of her body indicated mischief. When she saw us she tossed her head, kicked her hind legs, and tried in every way to free her- self. We tried to make friends, but all she did was to butt with her head and show us her horns, We had our troubles indeed. Isaac spent the rest of the day building her a secure enclosure for the night. He advised us to tie her for the first few nights until she got used to her new home. We did, but that night she bleated incessantly and kept us awake. We finally decided to un- tie her, but the next morning when we went into the garden there was no sign of Kadife. She had vanished. A neighbor finally brought her back saying, "Your goat almost ate all of my garden." He was indignant and my mother had to make retribution and soothe his ruffled feelings. Milking Kadife proved to be the greatest problem of all. Isaac said he would do the job; he was an expert at it, The first time he tried his hand, he could not even get near her; she kicked and tossed her little head as if to say, "You clumsy old Man, what do you know about us?" It took the whole family to hold Kadife in place, and when Isaac finally Managed to fill half a pail, she got loose, kicked the contain- er and took off. We spent the rest of the day chasing her up • the hills of our little village. Finally a peasant woman, the maid of one of our neighbors, offered tee do the job at a price. With 'all the milk in the house, no one would touch it despite Isaac's eloquent pleadings. ,Eleni and our old nurse, who had often been the butt of Isaac's teasing, got their revenge. Every Morn- ing at breakfast they used to place a large bowl of milk be- fore him, "Drink it," they would laugh. "It is good for you. Or are you as good at making goat's cheese as you are at milking?" In the end we had to give Kadife away, much to the regret of us children, who .enjoyed her' antics. My mother would not listen to our pleadings and one day Isaac took the goat away; he knew of a needy family with numerous children who would appreciate her better than we did.' ,When he returned he told us, "I acknowledge defeat, but if you had seen the joy of that poor family you would have been gratified and forgiven me. On my way back here I was think- ing ..." "Not again, Isaac," my mother interrupted him firmly.."Not an- other word from you." - By Sel- ma Ektem in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor, xN .

The easiest Way of all, if you are an old timer, is to 'butcher the deer where it lies, and carry the 'quarters out piecemeal on a Peck board. But this method brings up certain considerations. The laws of some states require that the entire carcass be taken to a checking station where it can be weighed, and the legality of its killing determined.

His hay fever was drowning him, and now this middle-aged patient had come to Dr. Ralph Bookman in Beverly Hills, Calif., for advice. While chatting with the allergy specialist, he men- tioned he had given up smoking cagarettes a few month earlier and had developed large ulcers on his tongue and inside his mouth. Then, by chance, he took up smoking again - and the ul- cers disappeared, What did the doctor think? Dr. Bookman was intrigued but' puzzled. Now, after treating three more men suffering sup- posedly incurable mouth ulcers by suggesting they smoke, he is still puzzled. "I am not pre- senting this as a cure for mouth ulcers, just as an observation," he said of his report on the cases in the current journal of the California Medical Association. "I leave it to other doctors to find out if there is a relationship be- tween the two things."

In addition, he reads 6 pages from the Bible, apart from his study for sermon, preparation, In this way he reads the Psalms and Proverbs through each month and, the entire Bible through each year. am studying the Bible more since I read this. The opening words of Psalm 46 have helped millions. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." God's strength is illustrated in His power to move mountains, It is also emphasized by the words, "Be still, and know that I am God." One of our difficul- ties in modern society is the hurry and. rush about; like Ir- vin Cobb's famous figure, we mount our horse and rush madly oN in all directions. Strength is found in waiting quietly on God, In the Ephesian passage we see the splendid equipment available to us that we may be overcomers the fierce close combat with Satan: truth, righte- ousness, the Gospel of peace, the helmet of salvation, the shield of fait h, the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of. God, and constant prayer, We can be triumphant. This is the Temperance les- son for this quarter.

' If you happen to notice a tree that seems to thrive much more than others in an inhospitable location, say, in thin sandy soil, for example, you could be onto a gold mine, almost literally. * For year's experts in Australia had been puzzled by the very rapid growth of pines on the southeastern plains of South Australia State. This was in an area of sandy soils, wind-sorted soils; as the geologists termed them, low in minerals that help provide plant nutrients.
