Sap-Suckers.

AT meeting of the Society of Natural
History of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, held at Lansing, Mich, Mr.. F. c..
Wells stated that he had recently dissected
quite a number of sap-suckers (pacus pub
esce1as), and had found in their stomachs,
in some cases twenty Larvae of the apple
tree borer, and that the average found in
all was nine; that is good proof of their
usefulness. DR.. Kidzie said he had seen
where sap-suckers had pecked into a
sound and healthy maple tree, where
there appeared to be no insects, and he
thought they were after sap. He re-
marked that the holes that they pecked
were always in row running round the
tree. DIR. Miles thought that the reason
OF this was that they were following up
the trail of some insect. Prof Cook
suggested that in the case of the maple
tree, the insect was the large headed Dor
er, which works at the heart, and does
not affect the apparent healthfulness of
the tree. 1t is generally believed that
this bird, which is so universally con-
demned, is really benefit.

Transplanting Trees.

In transplanting young trees it is not
advisable to trim too closely Only so
much top should be taken as will partially
equalize the mutilation of the root. And
IN forest and ornamental deciduous trees,
the cutting to bare poles or nearly so, is
barbarous in the extreme Many die out
right under this practice, and those which
survive struggle precariously for years
Without leaves there can be no root
growth, and the root growth is in proper
ton to the leaf surface
More trees have been killed by severe
top pruning than by leaving the top alto
gether intact. With plenty of moisture,
Immediately the leaves start, the new root
growth is formed, and with plenty of
tlbrous roots, there is really no need of
cutting the top, except to bring the tree
into shape, save in large sized trees where
the top is altogether disproportioned to
the root. In this case, careful cutting
back is of decided benefit. The great Sc
cret in transplanting is, bringing the
hbrous roots into close contact with moist
earth and thorough mulching thereafter.

How to Raise Turkeys.

For several years | had been unsuccess-
full, when at last. becoming discouraged
at repeated unsuccess, | determined to
abandon the business, SO [ sold nv tur-
keys and rested from my labors for
a time. But noticed that some of NV
neIghbors succeeded pretty well in rails
ing these birds, and from them obtained
few hints, which [ thought to put into
practice. So last season | purchased a
hen and few eggs, determining this time
that if failed | would never make an
other attempt In a proper course of
time the mother turkey brought off ten
young birds. | had near at hand an old
house, dry and warm, in which I kept
them nights, and on damp, gloomy days,
when | thought it hurtful for them to be
out. Their feed for the first three days
consisted Of hard boiled eggs, chopped
me, which fed them from my hand
After this, the hard-boiled eggs together
with bread crumbs and other scraps from
the table, all of which we chopped to-
gether fine. On rainy days, when I could
not let them out, chopped in their food
onion blades, tongue grass or mustard
leaves, which they seemed to relish | do
not give them raw and uncooked food,
and TOR my care | have been well reward
ed, for, out of the little brood, I never
lost but one turkey, and that from an in
jury which it received; and at Thanks
giving | had some of the largest and fin
est turkeys in the neighborhood, not only
tasting well, but being the admiration of
all who saw them.
From my experience, / am convinced
that, with l;Gtia expense, this can be made
pleasant as we'll as remunerative bust
ness-the great essentials being proper
feed and keeping them in warm, dry
place, as they are the first few weeks ten
der and cannot bear the dew and rain.
The feeding of eggs may, to some, seem
extravagant; but if you wish your fowls
to grow fast and gain strength, l think
there is nothing equal to it, as the increase
in growth will by market time compen-
safe you for all extravaganza in this Kind
of feed, which is only necessary for the
first few weeks.-Cor. RuSul World

CosT OF ABUSING Much Cows.-Har-
ris Lewis, the eminent Herkimer County.
New York, dairyman, said lately, in an
address to milk producers, that he had
known COW which uniformly gave eigh-
teen per cent. of cream to her milk, to de-
crease her yield to six per cent in the
short space of twelve hours, merely from
the excitement caused by the bad treat
ment OF brutal mixer 1t was not guess
work, because he used graduated glasses
to test the matter. This shows pretty con-
cluslvely that it does not pay dairymen to
allow their cows to be iil-treated. And in
ill-ueatment is to be included ANYTHING
that will alarm or excite them-fast driv-
ing to and from pastures, worrying by
dogs, yelling at them and threatening
demonstrations by boys, etc. CT ility and
good nature pay, even with COWS.

The basis of taxation in the County for
the present year is $40. .350. 900, being an
Increase of about $787, 900 on the basis
Of last year. Building. stocks, etc.,
have furnished tho increase. The Com
