then ripen it all at once, and my word

advises American Agriculturist.
Any land upon which water stands
more than twenty-four hours after a
rainfall, however heavy, is pronounced
by excellent authority TO be unfit for any
orchard without thorough tile draining,
and not safe even with it, because there
il always the risk of the tiles being OBJ.

coming unthrifty in consequence.

A Dee Keeper Tells In Which Direction
Beehives should Front.
In which direction ought beehives to
front, is a question Of Importance aud
one that does not appear TO have rssshe
much consideration from agricultural
writers The opinions based on personal
experience and expressed recently by an
Iowa bee keeper in The American Bee
Journal will DO Of interest TO apiarians.
He says:
Iwould not advise setting shade trees

CARE OF A HORSES FEET.

Keeping tho Hocfs Clean--A Popular Pa.
lacy whom 70 Shoe First.
The hoofs should he kept clean by b.
ing ''picked out" rs often as possible 70
prevent any dirt or hard substance being
buried In the assures Of the feet They
should 10 examined from time to time
(say every six or eight weeks) 10 de-
tect any defects Of shape that might DO
taking place.
A popular fallacy indulged In by
many is that wct, soft ground and even
manure yards arc the best places TO
keep young horses, and some even
have the frogs and soles pared thin to
allow the moisture TO penetrate moro
easily. No greater mistake exists, for
tho preservation OF tho hoof depends TO
q great extent upon tho coil the animal
was reared on. We find the best footed
horses are those bred on dry soils. and
that Is undoubtedly the kind Of ground
best adapted to the healthy growth OF
horn. Young horses require plenty OF
exercise. and unless they are allowed u
the growth Of the horn, ETC.. Is SURE to
be defective.
In reply TO the query when ought
horse to be first shod, tho sensible reply
seem to be. when the work required oe
the animal wears the horn away faster
than It forms, In other words, 20 long
ms tho horn Of the foot can stand the
wear required, II will need protecting
(shocing). Moreover, II young horses
were not shod 80 early. they would not
be worked 80 hard. and fewer would be
ruined In their youth, as Is too often
tho case at the present time.
Tho principles Of preserving the horn
are: (D To keep II as dry as possible, (D
to keep the animal ON dry floor or bed.
(Ocleanliness-kecpth the feet well picked
out" and never use that filthy stu6
"cow dung" for stopping" the feet, ~
prevent the feet becoming too dry or
brittle by an emollient hoof dressing.

do all We can to save the old bees, for q
we accomplish this, other things being
favorable, we will have plenty Of brood,
and plenty OF bees to gather the clover

watched, with much interest, the little
bees fly from the cozy and well protected

THE PEACH veLLows.


1--WE Of the Lending Symptoms os tho
True Disease.
The literature Of peach yellows is o
views have been formulated and many
theories have been built ON very slen-
der basis.
Among the facts believed to be well
established ure;
That yellows has been confounded
with other diseases Of tho peach, espe-
cially in New Jersey, where the borer
and root appis are very prevalent. That
genuine peach yellows appeared In the
vicinity of Philadelphia prior TO 1901.
Since that time this country has never
been entirely free from this disease. That
1t was prevalent on the Atlantic coast
long before it appeared In tho west.
That il has extended northeast, north
and northwest much more rapidly than
south. That it Is now moro or less prev
alcnt from Massachusetts, to Georgia and
westward TO Lake Michigan and the Mis-
sissippi. That tho disease spreads from
centcrs. usually appearing first In locaii-
ties thickly set with orchards. That tho
first cases Of yellows In any district arc
usually in young trees imported from
infected localities; and everywhere II is
the same destructive malady.
There are two leading symptoms of
true peach ycllows, Of which premature
ripening OF the fruit is first In the order
of time. Tho more violent tho attack
the more early and numerous will be the
prematures. A second symptom Is tho
striking out Of unnatural shoots from tho
main branches and sometimes from the
stem Of the tree. These arc long and
slender, and usually issue from tho upper
side Of the branch. They have sickly
look, though tough and elastic.

FIG. Determination OF WINTER WHEAT.
A satisfactory and instructive expert.
mcnt. teaching valuable and durable
lesson may bc made, says Country Gen.
tlcman, by preparing thoroughly strip
Of land, and especially with mellow sur
face, and sowing the grain on IL just deep
enough to gcrminate freely; and on an
other strip without good preparation set
ting the tubes of the drill six inches or
more in depth, and then observe the
difference
Or the experiment may bc tried on
moro limited scale. The seed covered at
moderate depth will start at once and
grow freely, as shown by Fig. 1; the
deeply covered seed will bc several days
longer In coming up, tho time will bc
lost, and before 1t can get strong hold
Of the soil IL must throw out new SGT
Of roots nearer the surface, as In Fig. 2.
In experiments made by Country
Gentleman, seed buried ono inch deep
came up in six days, two inches deep in
seven days, and four inches deep In ten
days. A month later the one inch plants
were stronger than the two inch and
much stronger than the deeper paintings.

Fatsening sheep.

On the subject Of fattening sheep ons
OF our wideawake farmers says: "a good
grain for fattening sheep Is shelled corn
one-half, barley or ryo one-quarter, and
oats onc-quarter. Years Of experience
satisfied us that It pays, unless the mills
are very remote. to have all grain ground.
even for sheep, and tho finer tho better.
Tho process Of rcsalivation will bc just a.
well performed with meal ~ with grain.
There IL much grain that will escape the
net OF rcgurgitstion and rcmasticntion,
and, most important consideration Of ali,
the particles Of grain have to be reduced
either by the mill, the teeth or the
stomach, infnitesimaIly before they will
lend themselves to the great work Of
nutrition. We would have oornmeal
ground nearly as fine as wheat flour II
possible; then the waste will DO reduced
to n minimum and the process Of ALI
mentation win be promoted"
