The department Of agriculture reports
the average condition Of horses through

Peach growing promises to become an

Connecticut Valley Orchard company
has two immense orchards at Bleriden
and at Berlin, and this year is the first
fr1itage of the trees and it is expected
that the yield will reach 40, 900 baskets.
Red pepper may be fed to poultry in

IA .f,,r-gccstio.l for sheep shearinE Time.

.A.srgscstion for Sheep ShearinE Time.
Many Earmers at sheep shearing time
, roll up the deeces so carelessly and hide
e in them SO much filth that it is not strange
q Ihev receive low prices for the clip.
-.4r0ther thing, all burrs ought to be
clipped out of the fleece. The Wool
Grower, calling attention to this subject,
says:
If sheep are ranged in a section where
ourrs grow, of course their fieece5 will
be more or less infested with the nuisance,
and the wool will net the owner three
cents a pound and upwards less, depend
ing upon the amount of burrs and the
price of wool, than if free from the de-
feet; for if a buyer can feel few burrs
in piece Of wool he naturally concludes
that the bellies and flanks of all fleeceS
of that clip are loaded with burns, and
he makes his offer in accordance with
shat view.
When shearing is progressing, the men
who are tying upthc fleeces can pass
their hands over each fleece as it lies
upon the wood table, and II a few mo-
ments can clip off the burr5 with a pair
of shears. If they are unable to keep up
with the shearcrs and do that, we think
it would pay the owner Of the wool to
put an extra hand or two at the work,
and let them pass the feeces along to
the men who tie, as fast as the burrs are
clipped We hope some Of our friends
who are so unfortunate rs to have bury
wool will try our plan, and see if they
cannot save money by the operation.

For delicate form of cabbage Brus-
sells sprouts are to be commended. These
require 4 rich soil. The plants ought to
receive the same treatment as do cab
bages, but the sprouts last all summer,
and should therefore be placed where
they can have the whole ground for the
season. The plants grow with u large,
loose, cabbage ike top and tall stalk
below, over which little cabbage like
heads form, which can be gathered all
summer and until the hard frosts of the
north may destroy them. At the south
they endure the winter.
Most people who consider cabbage an
essentially coarse food are unacquainted
with the Savoy class. Even the SavOys
which have been crossed and increased
in size and coarseness, like the Drum
head Savoy, are still far superior to the
ordinary fiat Dutch and Drumheads. And
now we have a variety known as the
Melted Savoy, which combines fair size
with the highest quality.

For Curculio and Cooling Moth.

The repeated experience Of some mem
bers of the Ohio Horticultural society
appears to have proven that, for the
curculio and cod!ing moth, 1 pound Of
Paris green or London purple to $50
gallons of water is a sufficiently strong
solution, and that where larger pro-
portion of the poison is used the foil
age is liable to be injured. For the per-
feet destruction of the canker worm q
stronger solution is necessary. In some
orchards badly affected by this pest. the
best results have been obtained by the
use of a solution containing pound of
the poison to 30 or so gallons of water,
applying this with considerable force III
tie form Of very fine spray. Some of
tie members have used Paris green for
the currant worm, but large majority
disapproved of this as unnecessary and
dangerous; unnecessary because white
hellebore is just as efficient and is per.
fectly safe

Iowa bee keeper in The American Bee
Journal will be of interest to apiarians.
He says:
Iwould not advise setting shade trees
very thick. 1t is from personal expert
ence that l write. have been expert
menting in this direction for about ten
years, and think that have come to a
conclusion that is satisfactory to me. l
cannot control my bees in hot or sui
try, close place, for they will hang out
on the fronts of the hives and at loss
of honey, or at my expense. The better
the honey flow the warmer is the inside
of the hive, so it would be well for us,
even in this latitude, not to choose too
hot place for the hives. If 1 should
have any slope at all it would be in any
direction except south.
On the other hand, early spring is very
trying; at this time of the year we should
do all we can to save the old bees, for if
we accomplish this, other things being
favorable, we will have plenty of brood,
and plenty of bees to gather the clover
honey. For hours in the spring of 1888
| watched, with much interest, the little
bees fly from the coy and well protected
apiary, on which the direct rays of the
sun rested, causing the bees to take wing
in great numbers. Over the willows
they flew, with the temperature at 40
degs, though there were clouds at times,
and chilly northern breezes. If my bees
had been on the north side Of the will
lows, they would not have been out,
taking the chances.
had one row of hives fronting north,
and where the cool breezes could strike
the entrance; these bees did not dwindle
to any extent, while those in the sun,
and facing south, though protected from
the wind, dwindled down on the average
of one-third of the bees. Thus it may be
seen that if the white clover had yielded
a surplus, would have been the loser Of
hundreds of pounds of honey. In short,
think quite positively, that it is not best
to carry bees from any repository, and
front their hives to the south, in a sunny
and close yard.
