our Nut Bearing Trees.

The Cutiyator and Country Gentleman
gives the following sensible hints on a
subject which all farmers ought to take IN
10 serious consideration
While muck attention Is properly CIV
en- TO the Improvement Of varieties of
apples, pears, grapes, and other fruits,
new and improved hickory-nuts and
chestuuts have scarcely received attel-
ton. Some uut-bearing trees are much
more productive than others. This Is a
quality which should be sought in produc-
ING new varieties. We have seen hickory
nuts twice as large Us the average and
with shells almost Is thin as the thin
>hc.led almond. These characters should
be especially aimed for, while the flavor
Is al. important. Some years ago DIR.
Long. Of Alton. exhibited chestnut burrs,
from 4 tree Of his own raising, each con-
tanning seven perfect nuts. One reason
why raising nuts has not been profitable Is
doubtless taking the trees at random,
without any attempt 10 secure the very
best. Ii such men a. Van Mons or
huigh; should take hold OF this matter
they might possibly give u some entirely
new sorts Of nut-bearing trees Of great
value

Food for Poultry.

Cook YOUR poultry food in part, and
feed it at least once day in cold weather
lin the morning is the better time while
it Is hot. Nix with this sOft-teei, which
should be composed Of meal and vegeta-
b.es. a little salt and occasionally 4 small
quantity Of powdered charcoal and pepper.
This renders it warming, cleansing and
palatabe to the birds,
The value Of potatoes, turnips, &c,
thus cooked with bran and corn meal Is
not generally appreciated 1t keeps the
fowls in good heart, and Is altogether
economical as well. The scraps from the
table can be used up with this feed, and
all the dry bits of the family may thus be
utilized If you keep but few fowls, one
half their cost of feeding may thus be
saved. If you have large numbers to
provide for, the expense Of food Is greatly
lessened in the long run by this process,
and your birds will be quite the better
for this treatment, instead of limiting
them to dry grain and "cold yictuals' con-
tinually. Fresh vegetables are valuable
for their nutritive material and for the
assistance they afford in digestion

FOR the OXFORD DEMOCRAT.
The Orchard Pests.

For two years the fruit crop in this
section has been failure, owing to the
ravsges Of caterpillsrs. The present
prospect is that We shall witness their de-
vastations another season. In every orch
ard. the observing farmer will find hun
drsds Of eggs, deposited on every tree.
These eggs are laid in rings, about the
ends of small liL,bs, each ring being about
three-fourths Of an inch in length, and
varying in diameter with the size Of the
limb. Some nests are larger and some
smaller than the above dimensions, but
we think that to be fair average.
If one Of these clusters Is detached
from the tree. by cutting off the limb on
which it is deposited, or by carefully open
ing it, 50 as not TO injure the eggs, one
can readily observe the process by which
these pests are ushered into the world
Place the nests in glass jar, keep it in
= warm place, with plenty Of sun, and in
4 short time IL viii be alive with little
worms not larger than 4 small PIN
Il was fondly but vainly hoped by
farmers AMI orchardists that the severe
winter. lust passed, would destroy these
cegS. In December and January there
we're warm days followed by intense cold.
Many imagined tina, the warm weather
would make these Eggs tender, and that
subsequent frOsts would destroy their life
But nature taught these little pests how
TO protect their young against heat as well
as against cold; as Is evidenced by the
present fceundity Of their eggs.
1t will be several weeks vet before our
farmers can plow and plant; and these
days NAV be very pro6tably employed in
preparing for the summer campaign in
their orchards. A lew hours each day.
would suffice to destroy all the eggs de-
posted in sny moderate sized orchard
They are now in such positions that it Is
an easy matter to crush them after they
a5s Matched and scattered over the trees
it viii be an imposibility \ little kerr
sseue oil or strong I've poured on the nest
will destroy many, but not with the GER
tAinty Of crushing, or better, cutting of
and burning.
Ii Is needless for u to state that time
thus employed will be pro6,ably spent,
particularly if it be supplemented by
free use Of tree protectors 10 prevent
other peoples stock from climbing your
cleanSed trees. Last season several farm
ers in this section employed men during
the entire summer to keep their trees free.
As a result they harvested usual crop Of
apples, and as fruit sold for two prices
they realised a handsome profit from their
investment. OF course if it was prO6ta-
be to employ a man At full wages during
an entire summer, it will be much more
so to employ spare time at present, which
would otherwise be wasted.

shalt We Raise Fruit?
BY J. F. c. HYDE.

A strange question is it ? Some do not
feel 50, we conclude, if we take any stock
in the remarks of fruit-growers in fruitful
seasons. We should infer that fruit
growing was not profitable. and that the
land on which the trees stand had better
be devoted to raising cabbages and other
vegetables, or grass. We say, raise fruit.
Raise it for homo use, so that the family
can have it in abundance, Raise 1t so
that the market may be plentitully sup
piled; that those who DO not raise it may
be able to purchase to their hearts con-
tent. Raise it in variety, large and small
for nearly all seasons Of the year. Raise
the small fruits as well as the large, and
raise only the best. We fully believe IN
iruit-not only Embarrassing but the use
of the same. Plant trees for your own
use. and those who are to come after
Plant GOOD trees on good soil, and give
them good care, and you will be sure oil
good results. If YOU don't know what
varieties to select, get SOME one to do this
work for you

improvement Of Stock.

BY careful selection and skiltul man
agement farmer may in = series Of gen.
eratiOns 50 improve his stock that the first
and last specimens would hardly be rec
ognized as Of the same breed, but this Is
slow process and hence the average far
mer viii DO wisely 10 avail himself Of the
work done by Others in this direction.
1t Is a fallaciOus and unwise objection
that farmers cannot afford to pay the high
prices asked and received for some speci.
mems Of imported stock for there is no
need that they should, as in any well es.
tabished breed, very creditable specimens
can be obtained at prices which farmers
can afford to pay.
10 the selection Of breeds it should be
borne in mind that DO enc Is perfect; no one
adapted for all uses and climates, that the
breed best for one man may be lily suited
10 the wants Of another Il Is uuwise TO
have 20 strong preudices as to be unable
TO see any merit in but one breed. On
the other hand, it Is well 10 have well
established convictions, for in stock rais-
ing frequent or aimless crossing Of breeds
Is always an evil
For the professional stock breeder it Is
often advisable to give attention to but
one class Of animals, and to but one breed
Of this class. For the general farmer it
Is often advisable to keep horses, cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry, selecting some
one breed Of each. Exclusive attention
to any one class Is rarely advisable, and
sudden change TO meet the fluctuations in
market prices are nearly always unadyis-
able.
