The Germantown Telegraph argues that
orchards are injured instead of being benefit
ed by being sheltered from the winds by
forests, hills or other projections which break
the wind. It says the trees will thrive and
bear better In exposed localities and on north
ern slopes than they will in valleys or south
ern exposures, the reason being that the pro-
ductiveness of tree depends on keeping the
buds back in the spring as long as possible.
In sheltered and sunny hooks the blossoms
are coaxed out too early, while on windy.
northern slopes they are held in check until
the season is far enough advanced to make it
safe for them to appear.

Cotton Seed Meal.

Cotton seed meal commends itself to the
attention OF the farmers. 1t is one of the
best of feeds to increase the quantity of, milk
given by cows, and imparts a rich, yellow
color to the butter. II sells at 1923 and $24
in the market, and is actually worth that as
fertilizer. One ton of it contains seventy
eight pounds of nitrogen, which at the mar
ket price of twenty-five cents per pound,
would be worth $3.50; twenty-nine pounds
worth $2.42, and fifty-six pounds of phos-
phoric acid, worth at ten cents per pound
$50 making total OF $27.42,as the value
OF the fertilizer contained in one ton of cot
ton seed meal. DR.. J. B. Lewes of England
estimates the value of the manure made
from ton of cotton-seed meal at $27.S
which is slightly higher than our estimate of
the whole value of the meal before feeding,
but we wished to be within bounds. DR.. Lewes'
estimate is based on what farmers would have
to pay for commercial fertilizers containing
the same amount OF fert.llizing material, and
on that basis undoubtedly il none too high
From these figures. it should be sufficiently
evident TO the farmer, that if he is to buy
any kind OF food for his stock or fertilizer
for his farm, that cotton seed meal is the ar
ticle for him to purchase. Very few, if any,
of the suPerphosphate in the market are
really worth the selling prices, while cotton
SEED IS worth more even as fertilizer, than
the market price.
ia man is to buy food for cattle, he wants
to buy that which will give him the greatest
return in flesh and milk and manure. If be
is to buy a fertilizer, he should buy such
as will bring him the greatest amount of plant
food for the price paid. Few substances
combine the milk and flesh producing ca
pacity, and the valuable fertilizing quality
that cotton-meal seed does, and again we
urge our farmers to give it more and more
attention. Journal.

"Young Farmer" in the Boston Journal
comes to the front again with another new
idea. This time it concerns hens roosts.
He says:
Seeing farmer near me building a new
hen house the other day, I took occasion to
give him new idea. He was putting in his
rO0sts 10 the old fashioned way-one being
above the other on an angle of about forty
five degrees. In this way the fowls are led
to attempt to all get upon the highest roost
and as it gets full the weaker ones are crowd
ed off and fall to the ground they begin again
TO climb up, only to repeat the same per-
Torrance until it gets so dark that they stop
Climbing, resting contented upon lower
roost, or even upon the ground under the
roosts. In the morning the fowls will not
60 down as they went up, from one roost to
another, but fly from the roost to the ground,
In this way. and by falling from the roost at
night. heavy fowls, especially when fat or
very full of eggs, are often crippled in the
legs or otherwise Injured. Many likely hens
have seen completely spoiled in this way. l
told him that l should build the roosts all of
the same height, and no more than two and
half feet from the floor, putting them about
fifteen inches apart. Before left, had the
satisfaction of seeing him commence to undo
the work he had done, and to build the
roosts as l suggested, and of hearing an old
farmer who was present declare his intention
OF taking out bic roosts, which were of the
"ladder" style, and putting in new ones level
and lower. think they will save hens
enough before spring by so doing to more
than pay for the labor it will take. 4
