Bloomfield Times: 1t is said a
good many school directors of the
state, purposely or otherwise, over
look the law of Msy IL, 1882, which
declares that it shall not be lawful
for any director or president Cf any
school board in this commonwealth
to be interested in the furnishing OF
books or any other supplies for said
school" E" Auy violation of this law
is to be followed by fine aud i'm
prisonment. The cunning
season Will soon open, and it may not
be out of place to offer n word of
caution to sportsmen generally.
Any person found tresspassing upon
lands whose occupants or owners
have advertised against tresspassing
may be arrested by an officsr and be
fined the sum of five dollars and be
sent TO jail for failure TO pay. A
great many of eur farmers have post
ed their farms and those who disre-
gard the warning do it at their peril.
The law is ample and stringent fer
the protection of farmers against all
tresspassers. Therefore gunners
will be on the safe side only by eb-
tanning permission of the owners or
occupants of lands to enter and hunt
thereon.

ANTS IN THE ORCHARD.
How the Busy Insects Are Utilized by
Foreign Fruit-Growers.

How the Busy Insects Are Utilized by
Foreign Fruit-Growers.
Some of our fruit-growers regard the
ants as a nuisance in the orchard, and
take pains to destroy the ant hills
wherever found. Orchardists in Italy
and Germany, however, regard the ants
as very beneficial and encourage their
presence. A correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening Post says:
'Many of the leading orchard propri-
etors in northern Italy and southern
Germany are cultivators of the COM
mon black ant, which insect they hold
in high esteem as the fruit-grower's
best friend. They establish ant hills in
their orchards, and leave the police
service of their fruit trees entirely to
their tiny colonists, which pass all
their time in elm bing up the stems of
the fruit trees, cleansing the boughs
and leaves of malefactors, matured as
well as embryotic, and descending
laden with spoils to the ground,
where they comfortably consume
or prudently store away their booty
They never meddle with sound fruit,
but only invade such apples, pears and
plums as have already been penetrated
by the canker, which they remorse-
lessly pursue to its fastness within the
very heart of the fruit. Nowhere are
apple and pear trees so free from blight
and destructive insects as in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of large ant
hill five or six years old" Ants have
been used in China for many years to
protect orange trees and other fruit
trees from the depredations of insects
DIR. C. T. Mcgowan, in communica-
ton to Prof. c. v. Riley, gives curious
account of the use of ants in the vicin-
ity of Hong Kong. In many parts of
the province of Canton the orange trees
are injured by certain worms, and, to
rid themselves of these pests the in
habitants import ants from the neigh
boring hills. Two species of ants-the
red and yellow, which build their nests
suspended from the branches of trees
are collected and sold to the owners of
the orange trees. The trees are colou-
lied by placing the ants on their upper
branches; bamboo rods are Sj.ejsl
between the different trees, so as to
give the ants easy access to the whole
orchard. This remedy, it is said, has
been in constant use since 1910, and
probably from a much earlier period.

FIG. l..

Between the manger and the feeding
alley the partition is low enough to adj
NIT of readily feeding over it and see
ing the cattle, and it does not reach
down to the floor by a foot. The square
feeding boxes have each a handle, SO
that they are easily pulled out into the
alley and cleaned and emptied, without
any lifting; the manager is swept out
into the alley, and the boxes refilled
with food at the proper time, and pushed
back again.

to both widen and deepen the gutter

as much needed, as the entire stables
are cleaned out twice day, and at
present cutters are foot wide and 6
inches deep.

it was, did not observe it; it is neces-
sary to nail two upright cleats on each
side partition of each cows stall to
slide the front piece or V down into.
Instead of two cleats on each side, we
have half dozen, and we can thus suit
the length of the stall to the length of
the animal, which is a great conven-
fence, as it does not take minute to
lift out the ", as we call. it, and set it
further back, or forward, as the case
may be.
Next, I found that the stall floors
were just as short as it was possible to
have them. Next, that the gutter was
a very great deal wider and deeper
than our own. But now came the RI
diculous part. Just above the gutter.

all my life! But it did just exactly
what the owner wanted. AS the cows
stood up, their tails hung in the nat
ural position, or pretty much so; the
gutter was SO deep and wide, and floor
of stalls SO short, and stanchions kept
them housekeeping forward, SO that the
floors where they stood and lay were
spotlessly clean Just then some of the
cows lay down, and the owner pointed
with pride to the fact that not one of
their tails lay in the wet gutter to after
wards befoul the cows. And it was all
true. There lay the cows, contentedly
chewing their cuds, and each with her
tail gracefully festooned up, just out of
the dirt; not a particle of bedding, but
a good clean floor, a warm stable, and
plenty of good food, and each COW as
clean as my own at home.-Eliza NJ.

BUSINESS PRINclPLEs.
why Farmers Should Keep Accounts Of
Their Business Affairs.


While looking about for the cause
of agricultural depression, we should
not fail to scrutinize those things that
come more directly under individual
control 1T is true we have just cause
for criticising our public officials, but
at the same time, if we examine our
own management Of individual affairs
ON the farm, we may sometimes find
sources of loss that could easily be
remedied.
Among other things, the farmer
should have some systematic method
for keeping his accounts He should
have this system so arranged as to
enable him to ascertain which crop
yields the greatest profit, or which line
of stock is more profitable for him to
raise. 1t is a lamentable fact, how
ever, that comparatively small num-
Der of farmers keep any accounts what
ever. The general excuse is that they
have not the time, or that the varied
complexities of their business render it
impossible to SO systematic 1T as to
make bookkeeping practical As to
the first excuse, it viii not hold
good, for many farmers waste enough
time to keep several sets of books
Besides, in many families there
are boys or girls to whom the
task would be a great benefit The
second excuse has a better foundation,
yet farm transactions may be so re-
corded as to be of great value. We
could not think of contending against
the low prices of the present time did
we not produce those articles which
our books show to be the most proita-
BILE. For farmers who have no knov1l-
edge of bookkeeping we would sug-
gest a large account book, ruled, let
tered and spaced for every department
of farm operations. Though we have
kept careful record of all transactions
for twenty years on ordinary blank
books, we have lately secured one of
these books, as its small cost is no item,
and it will enable us to make our
accounts more definite and require
| less time.
We believe farmers should not only
keep their accounts Systematically, but
all contracts, verbal or written, should
be properly recorded, that no room may
be left for troublesome disputes. Then,
again, where everything is thus re-
corded, the mans house is always sin

"A curious story is told by South
Dakota farmer. During the severe
storm of February and s he lost two
turkey hens. He had long since given
up looking for them, and thought he
would find them dead when the snow
went away this spring. The snow had
drifted high at one end of his barn.
Last Friday the farmer, when running
over the drift, broke through and fell
into hole, when, behold, there were
the turkeys. One of them was alive
and as frisky as a kitten; the other one
had evidently been dead few hours.
They had lived on snow for six weeks.
The turkeys were fat when they were
imprisoned, but very poor when found.

Much of the trouble in keeping cows
clean could be obviated by boarding up
the managers on the back, or side farth-
est from the COW, so she could not
step forward at all This detracts
greatly from the pleasure of looking at
the cattle (mine stand face to face,
with a six-foot alley between), and it is
also impossible, then, TO feed from the
alley. Ny present mode of tying l

for the cows, and nothing which gives
a better view of them, in easy and

When the COWS get up, the rings run
up on the rods and spread out, so that
the chain is stretched horizontally
across the big opening at the top of the
V. When the cows lie down, the rings
slide down, till they meet at the lower
point of the v, aud the COW then has
all the slack there is, and can turn her
head and reach away back in her stall,
and sleep with her head on her side.
