HON to FeriilIae Fruit Trees.

Here and there ON all farms and IN
most fruit gardens, sill bio seen an oa.
caslonal tree or grape vine which seems
to lack vigor-dpes not grow well and
yet seems TO have no disease. Tie prob.
abilities are that the tree Is diving Of
starvation and needs q liberal supply Of
food, When you give 1t this ration do
not pile o load of manure around the
body of the yine. That is lust the place
where 1t will do the least good. Nearest
the trunk of the tree the roots are All

farther off, near the ends Of the roots.
These only, can take up the nutriment.
1t is always safe to assume that the roots
extend as far from the trunk in every di-
rection as do the limbs of the trees. and
to properly fertilize spread the manure
all over that area. Then fork IL ia and

Raising q Jersey Calf.

A common error in attempting to raise
fine Jersey calf, is in allowing it to
have ell, or ss much cf its dams :a;lk ss
it will drink, and it is often the case tbs:
the COW is fed very high on the richest
butler producing foou and two teats
taken for the family and the other two
given to the calf; and again the COW is
MIXED, about half the first milk from oil
the teats end the balance left for the calf,
have heard owners of Jersey cows boast.
of giving the calf one. half Of the milk
and making three quarters to one pound
of butter of the other. All the above
plans are against the growing of heal
thy, vigorous and large calf. The best
plans to raise fine, large and healthy
jersey calf, is to let it suck a COW that
gives o large quantity of very poor milk.
This gives large size and muscular
development, without much fat. If it be
necessary to raise a Jersey calf on its
dams milk, the plan should be to feed
such food to the COW as will produce a
large quantity Of milk of poor quality.
NeVsE attempt to force jersey COW for
butter, while the calf gets the milk and
always give the calf the first milk and
use the last milk, which is much the
richest for the family. Think of the
waste there must be in feeding calf
one pound, or more of pure butter, in his
milk per day. This is double waste.
You do not want fat ON Jersey; you;
want growth and muscle. Besides, this
rich, buttery milk il not appropriated to
fat 1t Ia only partially utilized when
fed in omsll Quantities. Wher fed In
large qusntities, it damages the digestive
powers, % witch PRODUCES scours and other
ailments, that kill or dwarf 30 many
jersey calves. Feeding Jersey COW to
grow fine calf ia one thing, and feeding
q Jersey COW to produce large quantity
Of butter is another. While it is true
that the jersey COW is the best butter
cow, it is also true that she can be fed 30
as to very much reduce the butter and
keep up the milk flow. Feeding the calf
from the pal 70 perhaps the best plan, if
done by an .perienced and careful
hand otherM 80, there -is more loss than
gain. If the calf could be fed good

erly. If pail full of Cruel Is the right
temperature when the frat calf is fed, it
will be too cold for the last one, and If
not stirred all the while, the frst calf
gets thin, hot Cruel, and the lass one
gets thick cold Cruel. Thus 1t will be
seen that it is very difficult to keep the
thing regular and if regularity is not
preserved strictly, some of the calves
will grow "pot.bellied" and scrawny.TJ. :.

A Big Horse Race.

The biggest quarter race that was ever
made in Georgia was that race in Angus
ia a number of years ago between the
Stamper mare and horse from South
Carolina. The Stamper mare was con-
sidered the fastest quarter nag in the
country, and her owners had plenty of
money to back her. The South Caroli-
mans came over with full determine
ton to win or get broke. Several gen.
tlemen from Athens went down to the
race aud fortunately backed the right
horse and came back with wealth.
From one of those who attended we
learn that it was the most exciting race
ever run in Georgia. The South Caro-.
linians bet all their money and then
commenced putting up their watches,
horses and other yaluables, all of which
the Stampers took, putting up one hun
dred dollars against watch and chain
and $3.50 against good horse. The
race was run and the Stamper mare won
by about a length. The South Carroll.
mans were very much crestfallen, and
our informant tells US he saw one young
man who sat down in fence corner and
cried like his heart would break, for his
father had just died and left him $40, 900,
all of which he had staked on the South
Carolina horse and lost The young fel.
low remarked that he had lost every cont
he had on earth, and did not have money
to get home with. The Stampers gave
him enough to supply his wants. The
night after the race the Stampers ecame
up into the city with watches and watch
chains hanging all over them, and with
thousands of dollars that they had won
on the race. 1t is often said now by men
who run quarter races, that the Stamper
mare was the fastest quarter horse ever
known in Georgia.-Athens, Ga, Banner.
