saves ox coffee rids brew of bitter taste too science has a new kitchen uten sil it is a newtype colfee pot one that does a triple filtering the de signers call it a triculator because it supposedly gets rid of most of the substances that can make coffee bitter the main gimmick of the new pot is a silken fiber paper thin through which the coffee is filtered it serves as a middle fil ter as the coffee works on a prin ciple of three filters the pot works simply drip type coffee grounds are placed over a perforated metal tray after the fil ter fiber has been placed over that another metal disc also perforated is placed then boiling water is poured into the pot the top metal disc spreads the water so it drips through the ground coffee at an even pace and no grounds are left dry then the coffee meets the filter paperwhere the acids are removed the bot tom perforated disc serves as a control to prevent dripping too rapidly the new pot according io the makers can be kept over a low gas flame without danger that its ceramic bowl will crack they also say less coffee is needed thereby giving the housewife a saving your singer representative will be in your district every second day

rabbits succeed in kill ing many apple trees annually be cause no effort is made to replace the damaged bark by bridgegraft ing this is a simple operation and the cost is negligible if a bear ing tree is saved for further pro duction says t b harrison ex perimental station harrow ont injured trees should be marked with white lead when pruning is being done and sufficient vigorous sucker wood for grafting should also be saved at this time these bud sticks should be wrapped in moist sacking and stored in a cool basement or ice house till needed in may the right stage for bridgegraft ing is when the bark separates readily from the wood and gener ally this occurs when the apple trees are in full bloom it is im portant to first cheek carefully the injured area on the trees to insure that the scion or bud stick used overlaps at least three inches into the live tissue above and below the wound the areas of contact of tree and grafts are carefully cut with a knife and the bark is gently lifted with a screwdriver when ready to insert the end of the scion previ ously cut to a flat onesided wedge usually the graft is inserted first into the lower slot and nailed firmly to the tree then a similar process is followed with the upper end of the graft and both ends of the bridge are then well covered with a grafting compound in the ease of a wide wound the grafts should be placed three inches apart about the trunk on young trees which are apt to sway in the wind it is advisable that the grafts be bowed to allow for this movement all the equipment required for bridgegrafting is a sharp knife and a sharpening stone to keep it that way a small hammer some flat headed nails of assorted sizes and a can of tree grafting com pound for convenience all this can be placed in an eleven

t w geese on the farm an increased interest in goose raising has been shown during the past year or two this is partly explained by a desire on the part of farmers for an alternative to other types of production such as chicken raising another partial explanation is that some headway is being made in ironing out diffi culties which have hindered large scale goose production in the past one of the restricting features in goose production is that there are few largescale breeders of geese in canada and so it is difficult to purchase young goslings in the spring there has been little ex perimental work on the improve ment by breeding of economic characteristics in geese and so goose production has tended to be come mainly a sideline of vary ing size to the main farming en terprise breeding geese can be maintain ed around the farm with relatively low maintenance costs they can be kept in good breeding condition on a ration consisting of good qual ity alfalfa or clover hay and whole grain consisting mostly of heavy oats although there is little scien tific evidence as to the nutritional requirements of geese it is reason able to assume that there is better assurance of good results by feed ing of a hatching ration such as used for chickens for at least a month prior to the laying season this is usually fed as a wet mash once or twice a day with an even ing feed of grain as the artificial incubation of goose eggs is still in the experi mental stages it is difficult to make concrete recommendation says a s johnson central experi mental farm ottawa red shield appeal
