How CATTLE KILL TREEs-1t is noticeable
fact, that tree ever 80 thrifty, and of whatever
kind to which cattle gain access, an0 under which
they become habituated 70 stand, will soon die
In the case OF a solitary shade tree in pasture
or by the roadside, this is common occurrence
The query may have been suggested To what
Is this owingf In the first place, rubbing tree
by the necks Of cattle Is highly pernicious, and
if persisted in, it will commonly destroy it SOON
er or later but il the body of the tree BIZ cased
so that their necks cannot touch it, death will
enspe just Is. certainly a. they allowed to
tramp the earth about it. But why should
tramping the earth destroy the trees? The rea-
son 10 one Of wide and important application to
the laws of vegetable growth. The roots of plants
need air, if not much. yet just as truly as the
leaves and branches. Their case is analogous 10
that Of fishes, which, though they must havo va
ter, must have air also, namely, Just about ~
much as permeates the water. Ii it be all shut
off, so that none which is fresh can get TO them,
they will exhaust the supply on hand, and then
die for want Of more. SO the roots Of trees and
vegetables want air When the earth is in . nor.
NAL natural condition it is full of interstices
or channels, by which air gets to them But X
the cattle are allowed to tramp down the earth,
and the sun aids their work by baking it at the
same time, crust like a brick is formed, wholly
impervious to the atmosphere, and the tree yields
TO its fste. So tree cannot live If its roots are
covered by close pavement. They will strug'
gle for life by creeping to the surface, and hoist
ing out a brick here and stone there, or md Z
crack where their noses can snuff little breath
but If fought down and covered over, will finally
give it up. So if tree be thrust into Gloss
clay or its roots are kept under water, it refuses
either to be an aquatic, or to put up with it,
luminous prison. 1t will grow as little - poe
sible, and die the fret opportunity.

ySfarmers keeping sheep ought to see that their
quarters Tor winter are comfortable. Plenty OF
room should be provided, for sheep viii not do
well when crowded into close quarters Their
pens or sheds should be we'll ventilated. A COW
ering Of straw makes a frst-rate roofing. The
floor should be well Uttered with straw once in
or days, and as often cleaned. They should
be fed regularly. Hay should be disposed in
racks, easily reached while feeding yet high
enough to be clear Of any contact with their feet
on the ground. They should have oats, or what
ever Is given besides their oats at regular hours.
Mush advantage is gained by regularity in all
matters appertaining TO the farm or farmyard.
If farmers understood this fact, and put it more
into practice than they do, they would be gain
ers by it.
y Sheep should not be fed too highly More is
los, by high feeding than is gained. An old un.
Gle of mine, having had long experience in sheep
raising and keeping, ased 10 say that one spoon
fulo oats Q day was suffieient and that sheer
would do well enough on that allowance with
plenty of hay. Salt should be given at least
once q week. al, Id p. .f,b3 - ba,s l.t taas
Care should he taken in building pens or sheds,
to make an entrance large enough. Sheep ought
not to be crowded in going in or ont. Many fine
animals have been ipjuredin that way, for sheep
60 in and out Of their quarters, when feeding
time comes, with . rush, rsnd huddle close 70
gether. If the entrance is sufficiently large
there need be no danger Of crowdipg. All weak.
ly, scrawny lambs or sheep should be separated
from those in good condition, and allowed an ex.
ira allowance to "catch up Poor, scrawny
sheep never stand much Of chance in flock Of
fat, thrifty ones, as they are knocked round and
seldom get their share of food.
l am glad to see that farmers waking up
to their interests, and getting sheep of improved
breeds. The old-fashioned long and coarse-wcol'
ed kinds ought to give place to such the South
down, Cotswold or Merino. Not only is the yield
Of wool greater, but it is of superior quality and
brings a much higher price.-Amsricas Stool
