direct suns rays are kept off the trunk
by the head which shades it. Second,
by the use of boards, paper, corn stalks,
ETC., to shade the trunk, or shading it
by growing small shrub on the south
side.
Within the past two years some ex-
periments made on a small scale have
apparently secured results worthy of
very general adoption wherever, from
this cause, trees are injured. The re.
suits were secured by boxing up the
young trees in the fall, as high as the
branches, and then filling the boxes
with soil. A tree thus prepared fol-
winter has well nigh perfect protection
for It's trunk, both from climatic anc
insectivorous troubles, 1t has beer
found that trees thus treated make g
much stronger growth the following
summer than trees not protected
Further, such trees can never become
black hearted, for they are perfectly
protected, and are as safe from SUI
scald as the roots in the ground
White this has been shown to be The
case only after short trial, yet we al
know the advantages of a covering O
earth over our plants, and that it is thu
best kind of winter protection foI
them. We rarely have much sun scale
on the branches of trees, for they shad,
one another.
1t seems, therefore, that if we can b,
this means preserve the vitality of tn,
trunk there will be much greater recu
perative power in the whole tree in tn,
spring. 1t is recommended to take tn
boxes off each spring, but / think i
may be found that leaving the boxes OF
all summer will be beneficial thougl
we may find that the trunks will b
made too tender by being covered al
summer; and perhaps in very wet sea
sons the trunks may send out roots int
the earth in the boxes, which would b
bad, unless the butts were to be pre-
tected during the life of the tree
However, am inclined to think tina
even did the tree send out roots fror
the stem, the box could be taken off /
summer for few seasons until tn
bark had become covered with thicl
corky layer, when, if desired, the pre-
lection might be discontinued.-Fa

HE HAD NO DIPLOMA.
A California Doctor Who Did Not Belong
to Any Particular School of Medicine.

A California Doctor Who Did Not Belong
to Any Particular School of Medicine.
In 1913, in a company that came from
Oregon, was one Joe Meel1s, noted
character in the Rocky Mountains, On
the way he said: "Boys, when l get
down to California among the greasers
| am going to palm myself off as a doc
tor" and from that time they dubbed
him DR.. Meeks. He could neither read
nor write. As soon as the Californans
heard of his arrival at Monterey they
began to come to him with their differ
ent ailments. His first professional ser
vice was to a boy who had toe cut off.
Meeks, happening to be near, stuck the
toe on, binding it in poultice of mud,
and it grew on again. The new Gov
ernor, Micheltorena, employed him as
surgeon. Meeks had a way of looking
and acting very wise, and of being
reticent when people talked about
things he did not understand. One day
he went into little shop kept by
man known as Dr. Stokes, who had
been kind of hospital steward on
board ship, and who had brought ashore
one of those little medicine chests
that were usually taken to sea,
with apothecary scales, and a
pamphlet giving q short synopsis of
diseases and a table of weights and
medicines, so that almost anybody could
administer relief to sick sailors. Meeks
went to him and said: Doctor, l want
you to put me up some powders" So
Stokes went behind his table and got
out his scales and medicines, and asked
"What kind of powders?" "Just COM
mon powders-patient not very sick. :"
"If you will tell me what what kind of
powders, DIR. Meeks-" "Oh, just
common powders" That is all he
would say. DIR. Stokes told about town
that Meeks knew nothing. about medi.
cine, but people thought that perhaps
Meeks had given the prescription in
Latint and that DR.. Stokes could not
read it. But Meeks' reign was to have
an end An American man-of-war came
into the harbor. Thos. o. LarSin was
then the United States consul at Mon
terey, and the commander and
all his officers went up to Lar
lIin's store, among them the sur.
geon, who was introduced to DR..
Meeks. The conversation turning upon
the diseases incident to the country,
Meeks became reticent, saying merely
that he was going ont of practice and
intended to leave the country, because
he could not get medicines. The sur
geon expressed much sympathy and
said: "Dr. Meeks, if you will make me
out list will very cheerfully divide
with you such medicines as l can
spare" Meeks did not know the names
of three kinds of medicine, and tried
evasion, but the surgeon cornered him
and put the question so direct that he
had to answer. He asked him what
medicine he needed most Finally
Meeks slid he wanted some ''draps,
and that was all that could be got on,
of him. When the story came out his
career as a doctor was at an end, ans
he soon left the country.-Ceptury,

Raising TURKEYS for Profit.

With the good prices now being OBJ
tanned for turkeys, they pay a large
profit despite the difficulty of raising
them when they are young, for a flock
that has had free range will pick up
nearly all the food that was eaten. IT
is just as easy to raise large turkey
as to keep a small one, and you should
aim to improve your flock next season
by procuring bronze gobbler, which
adds vigor to common flocls, as it is a
complete change of blood. We do nov
advise the use of pure breeds, but to
cross, as the pure breeds are sometimes
themselves closely inbred. Unless the
gobbler is procured from some flock OF
pure bred fowls, there will be a liability
of waste of time, as half-blood male
is utterly useless for purposes of i'm
provement. Keep the largest and bes'
hens for breeding, and aim to have
fine flock. The profit will then b,
larger than when only the ordinary
common kinds are used, as a gain q
only two pounds on each turkey il
quite large item in the profits.-Farl
and Fireside.

EARLY MATURITY.
The Only Way in Which Mutton-Malting
Can Be Made to Paw,

Can Be Made to Pay.
The only theory that prime mutton
can only be had from and 4-year-old
wethers has exploded. Indeed, 2-year
Odds now are rare. One-year- seem
to be growing numerous every year and
are becoming the staple mutton of the
country, Notwithstanding it was once
thought that sheep could not be put in
first-class order at that age. Everybody
goes in for early maturity, and prob
ably it is only by SO doing that mutton
making can be made to pay, excepting,
of course, in the case of old ewes,
which make up portion of the fat
sheep killed every year, and which may.
under certain circumstances, leave a
good profit for fattening. Nothing is
more certain than that the age at which
sheep can be fattened is being constant
ly lessened. During recent years the
fat stock clubs have been compelled
to entirely recast their prize lists.
Glasses of lambs have been instituted
and they have become the leading feat
ure among the sheep classes. These
illustrations of early maturity are
too strong logic for old-style feeders,
who hold the opinion that an animal
must have completed its growth of
frame before it can be properly fat
tened. Alternate fatting and starving
will no longer pay in the process OF
making certain weight of meat from
a certain quantity of food, and the sys.
tenn of carrying on animals to certain
age on merely sustenance diet before
commencing to fatten them is also
proven to be Improbable feeding
These methods may be pursued in the
case of coarse, ill-bred sheep that are
slow to fatten, but they will not suit
improved breeds that lay on flesh early,
and with food so adjusted meet the
wants of nature that there shall be nc
check in growth from birth to maturity
1t has been alleged that sheep aged
two years yields greater or heavier
quantity IF flesh than sheep ono yeal
old, but this is fallacy. 1t is now as
certained that sheep from its birth
till one year old makes as much flesh
as one double that age, provided the
sheep be fed carefully, plentifully ant
methodically-that is to say--that there
is no stoppage in the rations.-Sheel

POULTRY PlCkiNGS.

On the farm ducks can be kept very
cheap.
USING the whitewash hot will help to
kill the lice.
If you are doing well with one breed,
stick to it.
A GOOD plan of feeding ground bone
is to mix it with other food.
TT is useless to attempt to breed prof
table poultry from inferior stock.
WHEN strictly table fowl is wanted
the games will be found much the best.
HENS in their natural condition seek
a variety of food to supply their wants.
IT is economy, first and last, to feed
so as to keep the fowls in a good, thrifty
condition.
WITH all kinds of poultry the most
trying time is until they grow Their
first feathers.
II is important whenever fowls must
be confined to see that they have plenty
of good water.
WHEN the poultry l. ave free range
they pick up great variety of food
that they need.
CURING a cold is easier than curing
cronp; an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.
SELECTIONS of the breeding stock
should be made annually to keep up the
vig0r of the fowls.
If you expect to buy eggs for hatch
Ing this spring arrange for what yor
need in good season.
Fees are often badly favored by
allowing the hens to work too much
over the manure heap or to eat unsount

TIE best way of getting rid Of deat
cholera fowls is to burn them as soon a,
possible; this will aid to destroy tn,
germs of the disease.
