At Home Oil The
Farm With The
City Cousin
w ?
i was sauntering down the -treet
about'a year ago and along came
my old friend. Jack Weaver, lead
in' a big work "mule.
"Where vou gain*. Jack* leacUn'
that mule right througr. the middle
oi town?" I asked him.
"S'm takin' him uver to the
dentist to "get his teeth -fixed," he
calmly replied.
Now I'v? always had a lot of re
spect for Jack Weaver?folks say
he's one of the be:?t farmers in
-Eaglpmrfc Vnynty ?but I knew that
even if our dentist had gtme mad
and turned to grindin' mule's
teeth, the animal would have to
have an oppintment like every
body?el*e? anid probably have to
stand in line for hours, to boot.
"This I want to see!" I says to
Jack, and we walked down the
street together, us and the mule.
Pretty soon, we found ourselves at
the edge of the school yard where
farmers from all over the area had
gathered with their horses and
mules.
"A workstock clinic," Jack in
formed me.' as if I already knew.
"The State College Extension
Service holds these early in the
year all over North Carolina. Bert,
here's, gonna, get a dental inspec
tion," he added solemnly..
I got around to talkin' to the
licensed veterinarian, who gave it
to me straight. "The horse's mouth
is so constructed that its teeth wear
off irregularly," he told me, "and
if this isn't corrected, the animal
can't chew properly, and digestive
upsets develop." Then he went on
to tell me how the clinics provide
free examination, treatment for
bots, dental work, and other such

Vocational Agriculture
Tearfiers Urged To
Start School Forests
Each of the 454 teachers of vo
cational agriculture has been urged
by Roy H. Thomas, slate super
visor of Vocational Agriculture, to
select and start a forestry dem
onstration plot at his school. The
purpose of the school forest, ac
cording to Mr. Thomas, is to teach
proper woodland management.
A law enacted by the General
Assembly of 1945. makes it possi
ble for county boards oi educa
tion to acquire tracts of l^nd -for
school forests, a bulletin entitled,
"Practical Forest Management in
i Vocnt onal Agriculture Schools"
i which contains an outline lor
'eaching forest management and
fcke law on procuring school for
ests has been sent to each teacher
of agr.culture by W. K. Beichler,
State Forester.
JTheve are a number of success
care at special prices.
So, I thought it was about time
I checked up on the 1947 clinics.
I hustled out to State College and
put the question up to Leland Case,
in charge of Extension Animal
Husbandry there, and he said, sure
enough, it was just about time for
them again. *
"We're scheduling clinics in 67
counties during January," he told
; me, "and urging every farmer who
las works'ock in poor condition
o check w.th his county agent on
i 'he time and place."
U a team's gonna have what it
'akes to do heavy spring work, I
Tuess now's a good time to take out
i little "hospitalization insurance."

STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNA STANTON
Assistant State Agent
Eaten as-is for a dessert or
snack, apples spare the cook and
the sugar bowl. Apples are a ver
satile fruit, being good cooked with
meat or vegetables, or mixed in
salad, used in pastry, quick breads,
and cake for desserts.
The built-in sweetness of fall
pears and apples can be an aid
to homemakers in -stretching the
suffar budget as they are about 10
per cent sugar. The simplest way
to make the most of natural pear
and apple sweetness is to eat them
out of hand. But for variety, home
economists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture suggest that
we try them in salads dressed with'
cheese. Split a pear and fill the
center with Roquefort cheese
thinned with a little cream. Dress
up apples with cottage or cream
cheese mixed with chopped chives.
For a note of color, add nuts, car
rot strips, or green peppers to the
salad, or use grapes or raisins to
lend it even greater sweetness.
Sour cream dressing makes an
other fosty companion for pears
and apples. Plain cdoked dressing
is also good with fruit salad.
For* cooked dishes, apples and
pears need a little extra sweeten
ing. When available, corn syrup,
hor.ey or molasses may be substi
tuted for sugar, measure for meas
ure. Or try one of these sugar-sav
ing tricks: When baking pears or
apples, stuff the centers with dates
or raisins. This adds sweetness,
and only about 1 teaspoon sugar
will be needed for each piece of
fruit.
For a side dish that satisfies the
sweet tocth at small cost in sugar,
scallop apples or pears with sweet
potatoes. Dot each layer with fat,
and sprinkle with just a little
sugar or brush with honey.
For glazed pears or apples, quar
ter the fruit and bake with a lit
tle water until partially cooked.
Then spread with bright-colored
jelly, and continue baking until
fruit is tender with a shiny surface.
t'ul school forests in operation in
the State at the present time, Mr.
Thomas stated further.
Tenderloin is the tenderest meat
cut.

A forest fire does not affect you*
Nonesense! Do higher prices pinch?
Shortages cause inconveniences? If
there were no more wood tomorrow,
could you get along without it and
still say the fire that destroyed it
did not affect you? Timber is a re
source that cannot be built in s

match can cause losses which can
not b? replaced in a hundred years!

Weil, here we come again. Hope
you good friends down there en
joy our chatter from here. Every
time we get our paper we just sit
down 'and read it through. Even
compare prices in the ads-and find
them about the same as here.
We Jiad our Christmas program

fine. Plenty of treats for all the
children.
Of course Mr. an<4 Mrs. Breed

years ago. By the way, I haven't
told you folks a Bout "his s'oh HUlpft7
wife* and two sons * of Glenville
visiting them not long ago. They
came the Central route and re
turned the Southern route. They
leTf "GlenvHle" November 9th and
arrived at Monroe, Wash. Novem
ber 14. They left here December
4 and arrived home December 12.
Pretty good time. They seemed to
like our country and of course will
come back.
I think all the men, women, and
children for miles around were in
town today; the men signing up
for their rocking chair checks and
the women shopping, for ^this is
the Monday before Christmas.
We surely thank all our good
friends from home for the nice
Christmas cards.
We expect all of our children
home for Christmas. They all live
here in Darrington but two. Mrs.
Bert Havter lives in Seattle and
our youngest son, Robert, works
for Sears Roebuck in Seattle.
Our snow is almost gone, and*
we are having some nice weather
now.
Mr. and Mrs. Cole Ensley are
having Christmas dinner with Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Jones and all the
Claytons are having dinner with
their daughter, Mrs. Dixie Haken
son. ~ <
Well friends, Mrs. Clayton and
I wish the Herald staff and all its
readers a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Winter is an ideal time to check
over farm machinery that must be
in shape before spring.
