A ne1O horseshoe that is a decided
improvement over all others hitherto in
use, Is now attracting the attention OF
horsemen. 1t is in two parts, the upper
designed to remain permanently on the
foot, where it will last for an indefin re
time, as no wear comes upon it; the
other, that which contains the corks,
and is joined to the upper in an ingen-
ious manner. The lower halves of the
shoes are MISUNDERSTANDING corks
for icy weather and dull ones for heavy
draught horses, or they may be removed
entirely at night to prevent injury to
the animal while in the stall

GROWING APPLE TREEs.-The first
few years of the life of an apple tree
is the most important period for ex.
ercising care and diligence IN regard to
pruning. A well known pomologist
once said that he could grow a model
apple orchard and never prune with
any other implement than jack
knife. He would begin with the tree
as soon as it was taken from the nur-
sery, and would at once begin to form
the future top. Then Is the time to
avoid crotches, which will be almost
sure TO split In after years, and TO
begin at the top at the right height
and In the proper shape. One is apt to
begin at the top too low; it looks higher
on a small tree than on large one. 1t
may not be desirable for the general
grower to undertake TO do all pruning
by means of knife, but he can always
use it to good advantage. Excessive
pruning of large trees should always be
avoided.

FROM reports made by G. V. Riley,
entomologisi of the department of
agriculture, it appears that kerosene
oil is a valuable agent for the de-
struction of insects inimical TO corn,
maize, cotton and oranges, and by i'm
plication should equally affect other
forms of insect life destructive to veg
citation. Emulsions made with milk
do not appear to be necessary. Iudg-
ing from the results of these expert
ments. For the chinch-bug a mixture
of one pound of coarse resin soap dis
solved In ten gallons of water, to
which is added pint of kerosene,
was effectualIy applied in the form of
spray from a pump or by means of
watering can with rose nozzle. For
rust-mIte and the scale-insect on
orange trees and for the cotton-worm,
a mixture of five pou1ds of common
yellow resin soap, dissolved in one
gallon of water and one gallon of kerr
osene, similarly applied, cleaned the
plants aud prevented further depreda-
uons for considerable time.

AGRICULTURE.

PLowINe CSDER.-Mr. Sanborn found
that manure plowed under gave 561
more pounds of bay per acre In three
years than when the manure was
surface applied. Experiment has rather
favored manure deeply plowed under.
as it lasts longer and Is more helpful to
roots, inasmuch as they go IN search of
the manure and SO keep moister, ab-
stract more moisture for the plant, re-
sisting drought better, and finding more
of the natural fertility of the subs oil.
OF course, the character of the plants
growth has much to do with it. Some
are chiefly surface rooted, and feed
specifically, but the deep rooted pre-
pouderate. Mr.. Alyes would hardly
derive the greatest possible bench t
from his clover as renewer of land if
allowing 1t to rot on the surface and
remain until spriLg before plowing
under. Authorities unite in recon-
mending TO turn under green to secure
the advantages of the underground rot
ting of the vegetation when it is in the
best condition for impartIng plant food.
That condition is when it Is green an d
succulsnt To wait until it shall be
dry and lifeless before undergoing fer
mentation Is to almost defeat the main
end of green manurlng.

SHEEP vii do better on inferior

times a day-morning, noon and night.
In this many of the best breeders
agree. Some, however. feed but once
a day, and think it best. When this
is done, the last feeding should be a
considerable time before dark, for
sheep do not feed well after dark. Salt
