LOSS OF HAIR.

,, BosToH, July Io.
MEssRs. JosEPH BURNETT & Co:
For many months my hair had been falling of
until | was fearful Of losing it entirely The skin
upon my head became gradually more and more in
famed, so that could not touch it without pain.
By the advice Of my physician, to whom you had
shown your process of purifying the Oil, commenced
its use the last week in June. The first application
alayed the itching and irritation. In three or four
days the redness and tenderness disappeared the
hair ceased to fall and have a thick growth Of
new hair.

Treatment of a Balky Horse.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals put forth the following rules for
the treatment of balky horses
l. Pat the horse upon the neck examine
the harness carefully, first on one side then
on the other, speaking encouragingly while
doing so then jump into the wagon and give
the word 60; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out oi
the shafts and making him go round in a cir.
Gle until he is giddy. If the first dance of
this sort does not cure him, n second will.
B. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over his nose, and shut off his
wind until he wants to 20.
4. The brain of horse seems to entertain
but one idea at a time therefore, whipping
enly confirms his stubborn resolve. If you
can, by any means, give him new subject
to think Of, you will generally have no troub.
lie in starting him. A simple remedy is to
take couple of turns of stout twine around
the fore leg, just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel, and tie in Q
bow-knot At the first check he will proba
bly, go dancing off, and, after going shor
distance you can get out and remove thu
string to prevent injury to the tendon, il
your further drive.
.. Take the tail of the horse between thu
hind legs, and tie it by cord to the sadd liz
girth.
q. Tie string around the horses ear
close to his head

Sheep Killing by Dogs.

The Monthly report of the Department of
Agriculture for January, devotes several
pages to reports Of investigations of the
losses to sheep owners from dogs. The di-
rect losses reach million Of dollars annual
ly in wool and mutton, and, indirectly, even
a larger sum, in the repression of sheep hus-
bandry, and the consequent waste of large
percentage of the annual grass crop.
In the stock returns for January, 500
counties, representing about one-fourth the
territory and one-fourth the sheep Of the
United States, report 1925 sheep killed
during the past year. OF course all the
sheep killed were not reported. 1t is evil
dent that the real loss to sheep owners from
the ravages of dogs is not less than million
Of dollars annually. In some of the states
the loss is from four to eleven per cent of the
whole value of the sheep kept. In Massa-
chusetts, with an efficient dog law, the per
cent of loss is comparatively small, and yet
it is much too great. In Vermont and New
Hampshire, public sentiment seems to be the
strongest safeguard against sheep killing by
dogs. A dog suspected Of sheep-killing, in
those states, would need the sympathy of
more than one society for the protection of
dumb animals to save him from an abrupt
shortening of his existence.
As VIC write the above, we have just re-
ceved information OF destructive raid upon
the flock of one of our Vermont breeders.
Messrs. II. V. Burr & Son, of Thetford, who
had just turned out to pasture fine flock Of
6fty.eight sheep, were visited by dogs few
nights since, and had their whole flock al
most entirely destroyed. Twenty-Five were
killed outright, and eleven wounded, seven
teen are missing, and only five remain unin-
jured. As our correspondent says the dogs
were known, it is not too much to suppose
that, before this time, they have "passed in
their checks"-to use an expressive term
and ceased any further operations in that
line. Does it pay farmers to raise sheep for
dog fodder IN. E. Farmer.

Loss by Weeds and Insects.

Ii is estimated that the value of produce
annually raised in this country is S2,500,.
OOO,OOO, Of which amount nearly or quite
one.6Ith, or $500, 100000, is lost, accord
ing to the American Naturalist, from the
attacks Of injurious plants and animals. A
single campaign Of the army worm cost the
farmers Of Eastern Massachusetts, S250,0O0
worth Of grass. Missouri alone loses from
fifteen to twenty million dollars annually
from insect depredations. The annual dam
age to the apple and pear crop from the
cOdliug moth amounts to several millions
dollars, Aand the work of the curcuio is
equally costly. A partial remedy is to be
found in close study of insect habits, with
view to ascertaining what insects there are
which hold the depredators in check aud
destroy them. 1t is hardly possible To esti-
mate the havoc annually wrought by the
grasshopper and the potato beetle, for ex-
ample; and any bird or insect which would
reduce such pests would be a substantial
benfactor to the farmer As to the "iniu-
rious plants, or in the common vernacular,
weeds, the only method that is feasible is to
kill them at their very termination by means
Of proper agricultural machines. The
Country Gentleman affirms that the annual
growth of weeds in this country amounts to
eight million tons, or enough to load com.
pact train of wagons long enough to span
the globe. Precisely how the Country Cen
tleman arrives at this very definite estimate
we are at loss to determine but it would
certainly be better for the farmer if the
weeds toere actually loaded into the "com-
pact train Of wagons" referred to, rather
than to have them remain to choke his crops
and leaye an unwelcome legacy OF literally
sOwn seed for future seasons. Farmers
have only to consult their own experience
to realize the extent to which the dcpreda-
dations of weeds and insects are carried, aud
any measures which tend to even the partial
extirpation of these pests are worth the try.

Culture of Trees at the West.

Under the act of Congress offering lGC
acres of land to any person who would plant
40 acres Of them to trees and cultivate them
for eight years, about 100 persons had
taken up 10000 acres OF land in Minneso
ia, up to January. This was an encourag.
ing effort, considering the brief space of time
elapsing after the amendment Of the act
BY the effort Of the state and private and
associated effort, it is estimated that 100000
600 trees are now growing in Minnesota
besides those planted under the congressional
act. A report on the subject says that the
cost of planting and of cultivation is marvel
ously small, in many cases not exceeding
from two to Eve cents tree. We suspect
that trec-culture will prove the best farming
for some Of our worn-out New England
farms. The advocates of system of forest
ry in this country will find their model and
warning in Prussia, where the government
already owns third Of the woodland, and
proposes to prohibit private owners from
clearing off their own soil, except SO far as
they will replant with young trees. Frie-
donthal, the minister of agriculture, claims
that while Russia has 81 per cent of her
soil under wood, and Austria 30, Prussia has
only 23I. Stringent as the proposed legis-
lation is, it stands some chance of adoption.
The artificial culture of trees, by the way
is coming more and more in vogue in Cali.
fornia, and the demand for young trees to
set out this spring is very large.-Spring.

Root Crops.


1t is not yet too late to put in root crops
Of some kinds. The season would now be
short for beets, as the yield Of that crop de-
pends largely on o long season, and they do
not grow in cold weather and stand frost
like turnips. Our root crop, grown for
years, and with which we are entirely salts.
fed, is the sweet German turnip. 1t is
hardy easy OF cultivation aud harvesting
yields largely, keeps well, and is very nutri'
tious The grain is fine, and havor sweet

Roots for Stock Breeding.

From the first Of my farming l have
raised roots OF some kind to feed stock dur
ing winter. Twenty-Five years ago, when
labor was much cheaper than now, raised
carrots. These l consider very valuable to
feed young, growing stock; but the cost Of
raising them at the present price of labor is
generally more than their feeding value. 1t
costs from two TO three times as much to
raise ton Of carrots as the same amount OF
the large. growing varieties of sugar beets or
mangel-wurzes. To raise roots and have
them cost less than their feeding value, the
labor should be done with the horse.cultiva-
tor aud hoe, avoiding thumb-and-fnger work.
The profit or loss on a crop Of roots gener-
ally depends upon how the labor is perform
ed whether principally by hand or by the
aid Of machinery.
The question, is it profitable 10 raise roots
to feed during the season that the stock is
kept on dry fodder, is often asked by those
who have but little experience in their cul-
ture, or are about to begin raising them
This can be answered two ways, and an.
swered correctly. There are great many
farmers who, every year, raise root crops for
feeding purposes, from which they realize a
large profit. Then, on the other side many
attempt 10 raise these crops, and from vari.
Gus reasons, generally through their own neg.
lect, they get small and poor crops, which
cost them more than the crop is worth. The
cultivation of field sugar beets for feeding
purposes is certainly not sufficiently appre.
ciated by most farmers. have experiment.

beets, and wurzels, and for few years past
have raised as the main crop, aud with per
feet satisfaction, the American Improved
Imperial sugar beet.
The soil most proper for field beets is q
rich loan, Of clayey rather than sandy
character. Light sandy land is better fol
turnips. SOW the first suitable weather
after the soil is in fine condition to be work
ed. | think early sowing is essential in or
der to obtain the best results Sow in drilli
80 inches apart, with a machine, if you
have one, If not, plant or dibble in the SEED
in rows 30 inches by 18. 1t takes foul
pounds Of seed if sowed, and about one-hal
as much il planted. When the beets have
been sowed in drills they should bo punched
out with the hoe soon after the second pail
Of leaves appear, and If there is no danger
from worms destroying the plants, as they
are not wanted for transplanting, thin th'
bunches to one plaRt at this time. All thu
remaining labor can be done with the cult
vator and hoe, and should be repeated sufii
oiently often to keep the soil loose and FREE
from weeds.
