Preventive Measures That Save Much on the Ove head,
BY HENRY It, ZELLEY,
• The Townies didn't wear tin der -
es altsd gas masks to try and scare '
Heinle. No, they wore these encum-
brances for the seine reason that a
farmer wears a large straw hat when1
working out in the fields during the 1
heat of summer. And the reaaen was
eelf-protection, or safety first. Sher-
man gave a first-cleas definition of
War, but the leaders in the last titanic
struggle took every possib.e precau-
tion to protect their men, for these
precautions meant higher efficiency inl
• the business of fighting.
And to -day industry recognizes that
Safety First means more efficient pro-
• duction. About the arst thing you see
on entering any large plant is a large
safety bulletin board, Just as Safety
First is of vital importance in Indus-
try, so it is on the farm.
The hazard we find most on the farm
comes under what is classed as poor
housekeeping in industrial plants. Old
boards and scraps of lumber contain-
ing nails are frequently left lying
around, and usually the nails are turn-
ed up. Now, a rusty nail puncture
very often means blood poisoning, so
piling up this old lumber not only
makes the farm look better, but it is
a big factor in prevelfring accidents
to men and stock. If rushed with work
so that you haven't time to pile up the
hoards, you can at least turn down the
nai:s.
The next hezard to con,sider is lad-
ders. Too often ladders are left where.
last used, exposed to the elements,
until needed elsewhere. Now, a lad-
der may look perfectly sound, and yet
the rounds may be decayed where they
pass through the sides. The surest
protection against this is to keep the
ladders well painted end to hang them
up, either in the barn or under a shed
when not in use.
Another hazardous practice is nail-
ing strips across the ladder to replace
broken rounds. There are attachments
on the market which permit the safe
repair of 'Adders, and by using these,
broken rounds can easily and safely
•he replaced.
Are your ladders fitted with non-
skid shoes or spikes? If not, then you
are certainly temptieg fate. All lad -
dere fear outdoor use, or for work in
the barns, Aloud have spke feat,

by any blacksmith, pi' even by the,
farmer himself. They are made from

of the 'Adder, and a spike point welded ,
on the end. For'use indoors, or on;
roofs', there is a cork • ladder foot '
which is first-clase and insures eafety. I
A good pair of goggles should be oni
every farm, and worn while grinding
scythes, sickles, miming machine'
knives, and the plow disks. Goggles
-will prevent any chips of steel which
might be thrown off, from entering I
your eyes, and thereby causing severe,
pain, or even bit d ess
Any engines, belts, circular saws
and other machinery on the farm
should be 'larded, and gears or drive
chains -ole Mowing, reaping or plant -
Ing machines should be protected by ae
guard. „Noes, these guards do not hayei
to be &Also -rates and can be built by
any farmer. The real -purpose of '
guerding machinery isn'tto make it
fool -proof, but to prevent the worker
being hurt should he slip, or for a few
seconds forget to watch out.
There are a few general principles
worth noting: Loose,boa.rds should be
nailed dawn, brelben floors repaired,
broken window panes reglazed, and
doors with broken or looSe hinges put
into first-class working order. Traps
leading into the hay Mow, etc., should
have •a railing. around. them. If you
don't want to burn your barn down,
make it e rule that only electric
torches or lanterns can be taken into
the barn. And be sure that inflam-
mable material, such as gasoline and
oils, are kept in a building some dis-
tance from the other out -buildings.
Safety First on the farm isn't fool-
ishness, but is downright good common
sense, for it means not only freedom
from many accidents, but also more
efficiency on the farm. Because you
heve never h.ad an accident from any
of the causes listed here, does not'
mean that you never will. Don't be a
Mr. Chance Taker, but be a Safety
First farmer.
My Raspberry Methods.
Proper pruning greatly improves, I
. find, the sire and quality of black
raspberries. The methods are so
simple and easy that everyone may
practice them. Suppose we start the
-work in winter with a patch already_
O established.
First, cut away all dead stems dose
to the ground. Second, cut out the
puny young canes, also ast the ground.
Third, continue to cut out superfluous
canes until only the three or four
sturdiest are left. Fourth, cut off all
puny branches from these canes, leav-
ing only three to Ave or six of the
strongest on each to bear fruit. Fifth
cut off all. branches lower than a foot
from the ground unless one or two are
exceptionally strong and there are no
strong ones higher up on the same
canes. Sixth, cut off the ends of the
branch,est, leaving only a foot of each
s This covers al the winter pruning.
• Summer pruning will also help
• make sturdier plants and finer fruit
• the following year. It consists of two
• simple operations. The first is to pinch
or snap off the growing tip of each
• new stem when it reaches a height of
two to two and a half feet. This is
. done as each individual shoot reaches
s. the, height desired, at intervals be-
tween late May and mid-July. The
e: proper time to do this is while the
growing tips of the•shoots are so soft
that the finger and thumb will snap
them with a clean break. If knife or
. shears are needed the result will never
be so good.
The objects of this pinching are to
make the stems stouter and have
branches develop lower down than on
unpruned canes. Also, this plan obvi-
• atse staking or trellising or tying.
Stems pinehed back in this way de-
velop like little trees, holding up great
loads of fruit without supports.
The second operation in summer
pruning is to remove the old canes as
soon as the fruit has been gathered.
• Having fruited, these canes have no
further use; at is their nature to die
at the close of -the -season. After hav-
ing fruited they are, worse than use-
less because they not only waste plant
food which could betters:be used by the
young catiee, but they also harbor dis-
eases and insects and prevent the free
access of air' and sunlight, both of
• which are te,cessary to growth and to
• the prevention of disease. The sooner
they are renewed from fruiting the
better.—M. GS' IC.
business and a wide range of prices,
then it may be well to invite the pros-
pective customer to write for priee
lists and information. I have found
that when I employ this indirect me-
thod I must be in a position to follow
up my first reply and make it easy for
the prospective buyer to make the
purchase. I must have good and at-
tractive stationery. I must be able
to write a good litter. If my first let-
ter brings no response I will need to
follow up with a second letter and
possibly a third or fourth. .1 have
found that I failed to make sales be-
cause 1 at first was unsystematic in
my methods and follow-up.
I carried ads in two of the best poul-
try journide in the couritear several
years ago. Here is what they were
like:
"S.C. 'Leghorns.' Eggs. Catalogue.
Write foe prices. Edgewood Farm.'s
Legghorns. Eggs, $3 and $5
per 16. Catalogue. Edgewood Farm:"
-The first brought inquirlee and a
few orders after considerable delay.
The last ad brought home the bacon.
Orders rolled in without the usual
parleying concerning prices and de-
tails.
Let me add a bit of personal exper-
ience. While at a farm meeting not
long ago a faesner friend, inquired
concerning' some Rhode Island Red
pullets we then had for sale. We de-
scribed them but did not price them
since we had no intention then of seals
ing any of then's. Soma days later we
changed our mind and aceordingly
wrote to him but stated no price,
thinking it best to let him see the
birds since he lived only a few miles
distant. For two months I did not see
him. Neither did he come to Isee the
pullets; • •
Again I met him at a farm meeting.
I inquired why he had not come to see
our Red pullets. Imagine my surprise
when I heard him give me this eye-
opener, ••

PRUNING YOUR GARDEN SHRUBS
1
In tide •article it is proposed to Kira
a few aimPle hiStrUctiees as to the
way in which the owners of a home
nay properly prune theasfirubs he has
used to beautify the surroundings. To
indicate the importance of proper
eseaeures 'of pruning, it should be said
that the, euceeseful flowering of the.
shrubs wherever ,oultivate,d depends
upon it. Unless shrubs are pruned,
many a them will grow so high as to
eheeome unsightly. They will crowd
your small lawu areae and the stems
will become so matted as to preclude
the prodhction of flowers in profusion.
Things to Learn,.
There are certain things of import-
ance about which we must learn be-
fore we can intelligently prune our
'ashrubs. The chief of these le that
1•there are sailubs of varied character-
' isties. We should know the nature of
the shrubs before we may, successfully
carry out the work. We may for our
• di id th be h inito four
classes. Even although we may grow
1
only a few we may have a repreienta-
tive of each in the classes.
Class A,—In this class we will place
the snubs which flower upon the cur-
rent year'e growth, that Is shrubs
which flower upon the growths made
In the same year as the flowers are
produced. Hybrid perpetual and Hy-
brid tea Roses and Hydrangeas belong
go this class. It is the practice to
prune these shrubs as soon as danger
from heavy frost is past. As usually
the lower buds on the growths will
produce strong flower -bearing growth,
It is well to prune severely unless, for
some reason large bushes are desired.
The, way to obtain large bloonwt of
Hydran.gea particulate is to remove the
very weak growths and restrict the
shrub to. four or five strong ones, then
to cut these back just :above buds,
three or fpur inches above the wood of
the previous year. Hybrid Perpetual
Roses are pruned in much the same
way except that the growths are
shortened a little further above the
wood of the previous year, say eight
or ten inches. Hybrid Teas are pruned
a little more severely about four inches
above the previous year's wood.
. ClasIs B. --:In this class the shritbs
whjch fidiver upon growths produced
the 'previous year, as Soiree, Van Hout-
tel., The Bridal Wreath; Weigelia,
Lilac, Lonicera, Tartarica, Tartarian
Honeysuckle, and Lonicera Morrow'
Honeysuckle, and all shrubby Honey-
suckles, also Deutzia, the Snow Flow-
er, the Forsythia, the Golden Bell, and
others too numerous to niention in this
.short article.
The shrubs in this claee are depend -
eat upon the formation of new gi,owth
for the following season's flowers and
;should as a rule be -pruned as soon as
the flowers fade. The pruning should
censise in the removal of ohl flowering
growths to favor the development of
theenew. an.d the subs,equent ripening
of ,the flowering buds, before winter.
The' pruning of these shrubs should
more' properly be termed "thinning."
If the' shrubs have grown somewhat
tall they should be reduced in size by
thinning out the oldest and the long -
et of the growthsand not by dras-
etically shearing or cutting back the
growths. ,to a give]," height. Shrubs
shonld not be allowed to become over-'
grown on the average oity lot; if so
their beauty will be sacrificed. In the
case of the Lilacs the growths -which

ity, that is particularly in cities and
'towns. There is no such cause for ap-
vrehension now, thanks to the system
of grading that has been In force since
July, 1923, when regulations 'were
introduced tequiring that eggs sold to
the domestic trade should be 'subjeet

adopted for expott eggs. A hoSiseviife

ture, on the value of eggs as a diet

the consumption of eggs has greatly
increased and three-quarters of an egg
per capita is being eaten every day.

ious useful recipes. •
We Veal Our Calves,_.
,
We are in the butter business. -Here
Is our answer to the question of how
a fresh cow can bring us the most, by
making veal or butter. •
A fresh- cow will furnish us about a
pound of butter a day. In five weeks,,
not counting the first Week, when the
milk can't be used; she would produces
at 50 cents a pound, about $14 worth
of butter. ' •
If we put 176 calves on her we have
fit the end of five weeks 320 pounds of
veal, .which at eight cents a pound
totals $25.60.
That's what we do as fandae pos-
sible. If two cows don't happen to
freshen at once we usually can buy an
extra calf from some neighbor for
about $2. A barb -boned male calf is
ready to veal in five weeks. It takes
six or seven weeks .for a heifer oz

do not thin out the growths which have
flowered, very drastically.. The Syne,
phoricarpos two kinds., the Snow
Berry and Indian Berry, Barberry and
Euonymue, also belong to the cla,set..
The pruning of these should be left
until they have served their orna-
mental purpose during late winter.
Class D. — The evergreen shrubs
should reasonably be placed in a class
by themselves. It la -etrue that very
little pruning is ever necessary.
Whether they are used as specimens
ha the lisen Or massed in the border,
It is folly to interfere very much with
them. As they usually are of very slow
growth the only pruning necessary
will be to remove a wayward growth
occasionally. Any pruning if neces-
sary should take the form of a thin-
ning.
The writer knows that during past
years evergreen trees and shrubs have
been shorn to grotesque shapes. In all
Cases, however, this has been done at
the expense of the natural beauty and
gracefulness of the subject. The
beauty of your evergreen shrubs, no
matter Where planted, except in
hedges, lies in their naturalness.. Do
not despoil this,. In this class we have
'the Japanese Ye*, Thuya (arbor vitae)
Dwarf Spruce, Dwarf Mountain Pine,
Junipers (although not so good for the
atmosphere of a city) and similar low
growing forms.
Hedges for Flowers. -and Ornamental
Fruits. •
Briefly the pruning of hedges such
as of shrubs which flower upon the
previous year's growths, suchas the
Bridal Wreath, should take the forth
of a thinning_(never a -clipping or
shearing) just after the strubsehave
flowered. Even the Caragarra, Siberian
Pea, should receive this treatment
much asto the contrary we often see
it clipped. If you desire tdIdefeat the
purpoee for which these hedges were
largely planted—abe ps.oducteaa of
lovely nowens, clip or shear them.
Hedges of the Japanese Barberry
valued for the red stems, and berries
ehould never be clipped bat be thinned
out lightly every year, so many •
growthe being left as, to leave no MIS-
ploiou in the mind at drastic pruning. '
Foliage and Evergreen Hedges.
When pruning hedges Buell as the
English Privet, Amur River Privet, otee
the California Privet (the last men-
tioned not hardy In cold Winter locali-
ties), taw evergreen.ssuch as Arbor
Vitae, • or ae it as sometimes tailed,
"White Cedar," White Spruce or Nor-
way Spruce, the practice is to clip
these to cause the branches to 'thicken
out. Such hedges are usually pleated
to serve a purpose where utility is the
chief consideration. The evergreens
are usually pruned during July and the
Privets in spring and midsummer If
necessary. For the ordinary decidtheue
hedge one pruning a year will how-
ever suffice,
Pruning Shrubs An Art.
To properly prune shrubs is an art
which however, when studied is easy
of accomplisbments To be able to
diagnose the case is of prime import-
ance, for the pruning of any shrub is
really an operation. Be certain first
to which class the shrub belongs and
then prune. • The objects of pruning
may be summarized asfollows:—To
encourage the development of vigorous
flower bearing growth. To eliminate
superfluous and worthless growth or
branches, and those Whichare dead,
defective, or which have performed
their function. To promote by prun-
ing the production of young growths
to replace the old and worthless and
cause a general rejuvenation of the
shrub.
Whet' effecting this annual pruning
of your shrubs, don't leave any' stubs.
Remove the branches at their junction
with others. If necessary, as it.some- .
times is, to shorten lengeones, "cut '
'these just above smaller branches or
buds with a slanting upward cut: A
great reason for encouraging young
growth is that the strongest 'stems
grow quickly to the ,light. The lateral
rates are thus badly shaded,. This mayi
result in their partial or full 'defolia-'
tion and sometime.s death. It simplye
being a case of survival of the fittest.' -
Unless we carefully prune our shrubs
unsightly lea,flese stems will appear
near the ground, and ellapidaticia will
quickly ensue. When the practice of
proper annual pruning pertains, re-
novation will constantly take place,'
much to the enhanced appearance of
our plantations. Copyright 1926, Mat- ,
