ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


Fruit trees that have been neglected
for number Of years and have become
scrubby, moss-grown, and half dead, may
often be renovated and made to bear
several good crops. First, all the dead
wood should BIO removed with the saw.
Then they may be pruned out somewhat
TO admit OF light and air. Next, the
bark should be scraped and all the moss
removed, and it might be well to wash
the bark with some alkaline preparation
and if the bark has the appearance of be-
ing hide-bound, a few longitudinal Sits
on the outer bark will be Of service
Last, but by no means least, the ground
should be thoroughly stirred The best
way to do this is with pair Of good
horses and pillow. Do not be afraid il
you break off some large roots, because
this will only have u tendency to start
the tee to growing. Tear up the sod
and remove it from around the tree, and
keep the land in cultivation. Put or
some barn-yard manure, wood ashes Oh
commercial fertilizer. The trees will al
once start to grow and in year or two
will have thrown out enough new wooG
to bear good crop.--Green'S Fr,tt

THE POULTRY-YARD.
Pure BIOOded Chickens.

Pure blood in chickens should be rs
much sought for, as in any farm AMI
mails. 1t is too common thing for a
farmer to think that any kind of hens
will fill the bill. And SO they will, If you
are looking at the number, instead of re-
suits
There can be no excuse for n farmer
having poor lot of chickens. Amy one,
by little careful management can in q
very short time, and with but few dol
lars expense, get good start in pure
blooded stock. Don't try to cross with
common poultry, as results will not be
satisfactory; or If you do attempt this,
kill off the old stock as fast Us possible.
Don't try to get pure blooded fowls by
spongng off your neighbor, trading eggs
and chickens. Buy them and pay your
way; you will be better satisfied, won't
tell SO many lies about your premium
chickens, and will have better luck gen.

THE APIARY.
SuperSeding Queens.

IT will pay you in dollars and cents TO
remove all poor and inferior queens as
early as possible in the spring. Unless
you practice this wedding out process,
you will find that in 100 colonies there
will be ten or fifteen that will be far be-
low the others in profit, and sometimes
they will not yield anything, whereas if
you had killed the poor and inferior
queens early in the season and intro
duccd good ones in their places you could
have obtained considerable more honey.
Some apiarists prefer to let the bees
do their own superseding, but in my
opinion it is d practice that will not pay.
The way to prove it would be to super
scde fifty colonies in your apiary, and
leave about the same number to take
care Of themselves; at the end Of the
season | think you will find the fifty
colonies that you looked over and super
seeded queens where needed will have
given one-tcnth more honey. -PdcWc

and often contains an excess OF
lime that Is not long In making
the butter of soapy texture. Salt that
stands exposed to the influence of odors
will absorb enough of them to convey a
taste not wanted to the butter. This
matter of salt is important, and for this
reason The salt does not give lasting
properties TO the fats in butter, but I'M
parts clearer cut flavor, and holds the
traces of cheesy matter from rapid de-
composition, but cannot hold it from
forming rancidity. Cold storage is the
only thing that will make butter "long

dissolve as especially prepared dairy

Degeneracy of Poultry.

The introduction Of new breeds OF
fowls is only temporary benefit, unless
care is taken to breed them with purity
or to cross only with design for 81 speci-
fled purpose, and thcn killing all these
crosses as soon as their purpose is &C
complished. A great majority Of conn
plants that hens do not pay come from
those who years ago used crosses, and
have continued to breed from them.
Their progeny are poor layers, subject
to disease and are generally worthless
Returning to pure blooded fowls is the
only resource Of those whose flocks have
got in this condition.

Advice 10 Market Gardeners.

Prof Bailey, in lecture on market
gardening, very tersely says: Market
ing is one-half Of success; therefore study
your market thoroughly; learn the con-
dtions and demands Failure is often
brought about by ignoring such small
differences as the color, size or flavor of
certain varieties that please the public
taste, or from some other reason, except
because it is fashionable, it becomes
popular. Boston wants branched cele-
ry, while New York requires tall,
straight stalk; some markets desire red
onions, while others prefer white ones.
Find your market before the crop is
ready. Send the produce to market in
the neatest and most attractive condi-
ton Be honest. Secure the same GUS
toners each year, so as to establish a
reputation. In each city have one relia-
BILE dealer to whom you can send your

Individual ExcelIence.

Last year 20,25O Poland-China hogs
were recorded in the records for that
breed. How many Of these were Of any
value for breeding purposes, or should
be found in breeding herds? This is a
question that should receive serious con-
sideration. Too many are recorded that
have only pedigree to recommend them,
aud solely on this ground does the owner
expect anything Of them. A little ex-
perienCe will convince man that q pig
must have other qualities to make it
valuable, viz, good form and consti-
tuition. Without these pedigree Is
naught.

Dairy Notes.

Don't buy cow with udder unevenly
developed.
We should desire neither a very hard
nor very easy mixer; a medium is de-
sirable in this respect.
Withhold your judgment on the
heifer's ability to give milk till after she
has dropped her second calf.
One dairyman says that by having
| comfortable stables in winter, and by
using feed cutter he is able to save
one-third of his feed.
A COW to be good mixer and to
produce good mixers in turn, should
have the teats far apart and at regular
distances from each other.
Milking tubes do not seem to meet
with much favor with dairymen, ana it
is probable that hand-milklng will con-
tinue for u few ccntu9es yet.
The dairYman should not be satisfied
with knowledge Of results. The
knowledge of causes is more certain
and can be more certainly depended on.
More and more farmers that own a
goodly number of cows are turning their
attention to the winter dairy. With the
help that the silo brings we may yet
have June butter in January.
Some men seem to be afraid Of the
term ''scicntilc." They object to scien-
tific dairying because they imagine that
it Is following some plan that leads con-
trary to nature. Systematically" means
doing thing according to instinct.
This is the way the dairy must be con-
Quoted in the future, or failure is nearly
certain.
The dairy buildings should be made
not only pleasant for the cattle but for
the dairyman, who has to spend much
of his time there. Happy the dairyman
and his children if the time ever comes
when he will lay out the grounds
around his dairy buildings as carefully
as around his house; when all will be
clearly, and even flowers will bloom to
adorn the place of his labor. TURNER'S

Aroma and Color OF Honey.

by the color OF the honey and the
aroma therefrom, an experienced bee
keeper can determine the source from
whence it came. Thus, it is very easy
to tell buckwhcat honey by it's very dark
look, and by its strong and pnngent
odor, Honey-dew has the same dark
look but lacks the OdOr or aroma. In
honey-dew. For this reason no bee
keeper need be deceived as to- the source
of such odorless honey. Aroma is q term
employed to designate those substances,
the extreme minute particles Of which
are supposed to affect the organs Of
smell so as to produce peculiar odors.-

This was done from April Is to Is. Cut
wheat straw was used pentifulIy as bed
ding, the relative amount OF straw and
manure being 1910 pounds eXcremcnt
md 68l pounds straw
Chemical analysis showed that one ton
of this fresh manure contained nearly
Ten pounds Of nitrogen, seven and one
half pounds Of phosphoric acid and eigh-
Geen pounds Of potash, making its value
about b.. 80, If these constituents be val
Fted at the same rate US in commercial
fertilizers.
The pile Of manure thus MAIDS was put
III d place thus exposed to the weather
,and Whcrc the drainage was 50 good that
oil the water not absorbed by the manure
.gan through and off at once. 1t remained
exposed from April Is to September %,
at which time it was carefully scraped
up weighed and sample taken for
analysis.
1T was found that the 4, 900 had shrunli
20 ! ,73O pounds during the six months,
and analysis showed that this ,73O was
less valuable, pound for pound, than the
original lot Of manure, 1t had not only
aost 10y teaching, but by heating or ''tire
Banging" during periods Of dry weather,
saud the value Of the pile Of 4, 900 pounds
had shrunk from IS. go TO r.. Ia loss Of
12 per cent.
In summing up the results Of this cx-
pertinent, Director Roberts says: cit
seems safe to say thai under the ordn-
AIRY conditions of piling and exposure, the
loss OF fertIEizng materials during the
course Of the summer is not likely to be
much below 50 per cent. Of the original
Va|uc o. the manure"
Further experiments showed that the
aIqutj manure from u COW Is worth as
auuch per day as the solid manure, and
that the combined value at the same
rate rs commercial fertilizers; that from
IL horse at T cents, that from a sheep at
! - cent, and that from Il hog at n cent
FOR literally fed, thrifty shoats Of medium
size.
Director Roberts Is careful to explain
that these values will have to be mOdi-
lied to suit individual circumstances.
Whist he means Is that if farmers can
afford to buy commercial fertilizers ut
Current prices, then the manures of the
farm are worth the price given, and it
will pay to house them.
