Born Cooks and Others 
Until recently the woman on the farm, though a born cook and a 
peerless housekeeper, has often been handicapped by a lack of informa¬ 
tion concerning certain new methods that have been adopted in the cities. 
To some extent this has been true in the case of Jell-O, which in the 
cities has for several years been the most popular preparation for des¬ 
serts and salads. 
As rapidly as possible steps have been taken to spread among all 
women complete knowledge of the subject. 
In Domestic Science and Home Economics classes, in city and 
country, trained women have demonstrated the simple and economical 
Jell-0 way, and recipe books are being distributed thoroughly. As 
Jell-0 is now sold in practically every general store in the country, 
farmers’ wives are enabled to share the privilege enjoyed by their city 
sisters. 
The Jell-0 Book, containing recipes for all kinds of plain and elab¬ 
orate desserts and salads, and explaining the easiest and cheapest way 
to make them, will be sent free to every woman who writes and asks 
us for it. It is a book which every housewife in America should possess. 
Jell-0 is put up in six pure fruit flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry, 
Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate, and sold 2 packages for 25 cents.

r International Special Dairy Feed 
At the New Rock - bottom Price 
We have slashed the prices on International Feeds 
both ways from the middle. Of course we are taking 
a loss, but we are ready to do this to play the game 
with the thousands of feeders who have so whole¬ 
heartedly approved International Feeds for years. 
Don’t take the price drop in your dairy products too seriously. The cut we 
have made in price on International Special Dairy will allow you to feed it 
at the same old good margin of profit. Same feed, same quality, at a smash- 
International Special Dairy Feed Is Guaranteed 
to produce more milk than any other feed of similar anal¬ 
ysis. You should get two more quarts of milk per day 
from each cow. 
Remember that this feed is priced down to produce milk at a profit 
on the prices you secure. Write us direct for full information if 
you have no International dealer near you. 
LIVE AGENTS WANTED — A live agent can quickly sell several 
cars of feed in each vicinity at this new, low price. Write for details.

tree of that variety. In commercial nur¬ 
series these are secured from two and 
three-year-old trees. A beginner would 
have to secure the scions from a nursery 
or from bearing trees. There is an ob¬ 
jection to using scions from the nursery 
trees, for if a mistake is made in naming 
a variety scions from such a tree will 
spread the mistake throughout the new 
planting. Cultivation-of nursery stock is 
important not only to conserve moisture, 
Init in stirring up the plant food and in 
destroying weeds. Trees and shrubs need 
maximum sunlight for uniform develop¬ 
ment, and this cannot be secured in a 
weedy block of stock. Trees are graded 
and sold according to the height and the 
diameter of the trunk. Trees grown 
among weeds are liable to insect injury, 
and will he spindly, so cannot be classed 
as the best grade. Perennial flowering 
plants are easy to grow and might prove 
profitable with a beginner These plants 
are secured by division of the crowns and 
are grown in rows as the shrubs and 
trees. 
Straight rows are an essential with the 
tree growth, as one must he careful about 
scraping the bark of the young trees. 
Volumes can be written on selling, hut 
the one policy by which nurserymen suc¬ 
ceed is through honesty. Give the buyer 
a square deal. If he orders.-one variety 
be sure to send that variety, and if there 
happens to be a mistake, correct it. It 
pays in the nursery business. X. H. T. 
Fruit Trees for Southern Maryland 
I wish to set out (next Spring) a few 
good fruit trees, apples, peaches, pears, 
plums, etc., for family use. I would like 
some good-keeping varieties of apples and 
pears. I would like peaches from early 
till as late as possible, and any other 
varieties you would suggest. Will you 
give me a list of what you would recom¬ 
mend in mv section (Southern Mary¬ 
land)? o. w. G. 
Westwood, Md. , 
You will find the following list good 
for your climate: Apples: For Summer, 
plant Yellow Transparent and Red As- 
f radian or Early Harvest; for Fall, 
Grimes Golden and Buckingham; for 
Winter, Stayman, York Imperial and 
Winesap. Peaches: Mayflower, Greens¬ 
boro, Carman, Champion. Ray and El- 
berta. Pears: KiefTer for canning and 
preserving; Seekcl, Sheldon and Beurre 
d’Anjou. These are more resistant to 
blight, than some others. Bartlett is good 
if well grown and watched to keep the 
blight cut out. Plums: Abundance. Red 
June, Wild Goose, German Prune, Shrop¬ 
shire Damson. w. F. MASSEY. 
After living in New York City 20 years 
I bought a small farm here a little over a 
year ago. and am trying to make a living 
out of chickens. Although it has been up¬ 
hill work so far, I feel now as though I 
would make it go. The only aid I have 
had was my wife and The R. N.-Y., both 
the best in their lines. For the heuefit 
of any city man thinking of buying a 
small place to make a living on, would 
say sit down and figure all your expenses 
for one year you can think of, then double 
it, and if you do not have .$1,000 left 
over, do not try it. Tf he has by nil 
means go ahead, as it. is iiie best life in 
the world. e. s. g.
