That an apple tree cannot bear heavy
crops every year, is apparent, and that
il requires one years rest TO recuper-
ate. That taking fruit off half the tree
will induce that part to bear the year
following, is no doubt correct. Why
not thin out the fruit all over the tree
when too full? 1 have now had fair
crops on my trees for four years IN sue

The disease in sheep which is marked |
by rigidity of the muscles of the neck,
by which the head is drawn back to the /
shoulder, and by the eyes glaring, gid
diness and general stiffness of the limbs,
is due to the presence of the larve of
tape-worms IN the brain. Ii is known
among shepherds as gid" or turn
side" from some of the sheep turning
round in a circle, the neck being bent
stiffiy in one direction until they die.
This disease is described in Stewart
Manual. and its proper
treat, but more easy 10 prevent. The
sheep contract the disease by swallow
ing the eggs OF tape-worms, which are
dropped by dogs upon the grass: the
worms find their way to the
brain. where they form cysts, or blad-
iers, in which the worms exist These
press upon the Drain and produce the
general nervous paralysis. When the
sheep die the dogs eat them, and thus
become infested again with the para
