SAUSAGE

^^^^^7 sa - e is not difficult for us, because 

 ^^1^^ we make it out here in the country 



by the same old-fashioned methods we have used for 

 twenty-five years. We use young, milk-fed pork 

 bought from our neighbors— not shipped from far 

 points — home ground spices and salt. The result is 

 real, good country sausage. It couldn't be any- 

 thing else. 



Your grocer should be able to supply you. If he 

 can't, we can express fresh sausage direct anywhere 

 in United States or Canada. If you will write, we 

 will gladly tell you all the things we can think of 

 about our genuine and delicious farm products.

Gooseberries and Currants in 

 Tree Form 



HAVE you ever tried growing gooseberries and 

 currants in standard or tree shape? I have 

 them planted three to six feet apart along a walk 

 and my reward has been extra large and sweet fruit. 

 All the English and European varieties will grow 

 here as standards, but will generally be a failure 

 if grown in bush form. The standard form will 

 induce less wood growth, the nourishment to the 

 crown being transmitted by one stem only and 

 it permits of easier spraying, uniform ripenmg of 

 fruit and easier picking. 



Standard gooseberries and currants are generally 

 grafted or budded on the strong growing wild 

 American currant, Ribcs aitrcum. This wild cur- 

 rant is propagated from cuttings about a foot 

 long, of one-year old wood, the lower end under and 

 the upper end over a bud. In early spring I 

 plant the cuttings in good garden soil mixed with 

 one-third coarse sand, and set them in a slanting 

 position with the upper bud about one inch above 

 the ground. During the hot, dry summer months 

 cover the ground with a mulch of lawn clippings 

 or strawy manure. Two or three canes will 



Gooseberries and currants may be successfully grown 

 In standard form if grafted on the native currant 



usually develop from each cutting; remove the 

 weaker ones when about eight to twelve inches 

 high. The strongest cane is tied and trained to a 

 bamboo or heavy wire rod and all leaves and 

 growth on the lower half removed during the 

 growing season, producing a cane from four to 

 six feet high ajid one quarter to a half inch in 

 diameter. Any canes that have not grown to 

 this size will need another year's growth before 

 being grafted. Do the grafting in spring when 

 growth starts. Whip grafting is the most suc- 

 cessful, but budding is also practised, especially 

 on weak canes. Use only the very best English 

 and European varieties of gooseberries and cur-
