APPLE SPRAYING,

One-half pound Paris green to q fifty
gallon barrel of water is the dose. One
pound will kill and wither the leaves
and harm the young apple formation
Place two empty fifty gallon barrels
IN an open spray wagon, back up to
your pump and fill the barrels and then
tie bag over the top to prevent spill
ing. When at the orchard fasten q
common carriage pump with wire to
the rim or chine of one of the barrels
and then put in the Paris green, stir
with broomstick and drive up on out
side row of orchard-one stir and one
pump. Spray one-half tree at time,
come down next row. spray one-half
tree till the orchard is done. When
one barrel is emptied rs low as pump
will reach pour into the empty from
the full barrel and when the water
gets less green than it was in the first
place when you put in the first half
pound add the other half pound. My
pump is an old carriage washer and

up over the tree and spray will come

vice at the beginning of the weeks
work. The disease is an aggravating
one and quite difficult to cure.
This is common experience with
all managers of horses doing heavy
city work, but it is seldom thought of
in the treatment of horses doing farm
work, although it is altogether likely
that many disorders of farm teams are
traceable to this same trouble. The
horse that is subjected to rigid work,
requiring heavy feeding, cannot be
safely taken off from that work
abruptly without exercise and con-
tinued on full feed and even for
Sundays rest the plan of reducing the
feed and making it of laxative ma
ture is highly recommended by the
best authorities. Failure to observe
this precaution may not result in a
well-developed case of this disease, but
it has a tendency to lead to disease or
disturbance of the functions in vari-
Gus ways hardly less injurious even if
less apparent to the eye. Rural

Dwariing Trees i'm Japan.

The art of dwarfng plants is so lit
tie known in other lands that short
description of its process is given by
Garden and Forest. The pines may
truly be considered the most import
ant of all trees in Japan, and great
care is taken in their cultivation and
preservation. They are generally
grown from seed, and great care Is
taken to select the choicest quality of
seed. In the spring OF the second
year, when the seedlings are about
eight inches in height, they are staked
with bamboo canes and tied with rice
straw, Che plants being bent in differ
ent desirable shapes. In the next fall
thev are transplanted to richer SOIL
and are well fertilized. In the follow
ing spring the plants are restaked and
twisted and tied in fanclful forms.
This mode of treatment is given until
the seventh year, when the tree will
have assumed fairly large proportions,
the branches being trained in graceful
forms and the foliage like small crowds
of dense green. The plants are now
taken up and placed i'll pots one and
half feet in diameter, and are kept
well watered every succeeding year I;
great care must be taken to keep new
shoot pinched back. After another
three years of this treatment the trees
are virtually dwarfed, there being no
growth thereafter. The dwarfng of
bamboo is another important branch
of japanese nursery business. A few
weeks after the shoots begin to grow,
and when the trunks measure about
three inches in circumference and five
feet in height the bark is removed,
piece by piece, from the joint After
five weeks, when the plants get some
what stout, the stem is bent and tied
III. After three months, when the side
shoots grow strong enough, they are
all cut off five or six inches from the
main trunk, they are then dug up and
potted in sand Care should be taken
not to use any fertilizer, but plenty
of water should be given. Cut off the
large shoots every year IN May or
June, and after three years the twigs
and leaves will present admirable yel-
low and green tints.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1894-03-30
CARE OF TREES.

There is no better time than the
present to examine groves and groups
of trees III order to determine whether
they are becoming overcrowded, and
to designate those which should be re-
moved to make room for the rest. The
axe is the only remedy for crowding
among trees, and when this heroic
treatment is necessary no considera-
tions of sentiment should be allowed
to interfere with its use At this sea-
son, too, it is easier to find where
branches are growing too thickly on a
tree, and where they are rubbing each
other, than it is when they are in full
foliage, and in the warm days of mid
winter pruning can be done to advan-
tage. When it is necessary to remove
large branches they should be sawed
close to the trunk and the edges cut
smooth with sharp knife. Coal tar
applied to the wound will keep out
moisture and fungi and thus prevent
decay. Any kind of ochreous paint
will answer almost as good purpose,
and it can be easily applied with an
ordinary brush. All sprouts should
be cut from the trunk and all suckers
from its base, but the dead twigs in
the heads of trees can be more easily
detected in the summer. Garden and

OATS FOR CALVES.

No supplemental food is better than
ground oats as help in developing
the heifer calf. As soon as she begins
to eat hay she should have little
night and morning, fed dry. Begin
with half pint of feed, or even less,
and gradually increase the quantity
until she will take pint at n feeding.
See that you keep her thrifty and
growing. A calf which is once stunted
by insufficient or or improper food
will never make so good a COW as she
would otherwise have been, no matter
how much pains you may take subse-
quently to make amends for the early
neglect. But the feeding is not the
only thing with the calf which you
expect to develop into a dairy COW.
The training is almost equally i'm
portant. She should be taught to lead
by halter, to stand quietly and to
bear handling long before the time
when, as COW, she will be forced to
submit to these restraints. No forci-
BILE breaking in will be necessary if
you are willing to take little pains
about these matters during early calf
hood, and it pays much better to do
it then and in this way than later and
more forcibly. With such treatment
you can easily develop kind and gem
tie disposition, which is of decided
money value when you come to put
ting her in the dairy. -Philadelphia

The Elephant a Coward.

"The elephant is an arrant COW.
ard" said John l.. Perkins, as he re.
counted his experiences in circus to
group of friends. 81 had charge
of an elephant once that had vicious
disposition, but he would do anything
that l wanted him to. l used to prod
him with sharp steel and otherwise
impress upon him that l was master
and intended to remain SO. An un
derkeeper went on the kindness the
ory and treated the big animal as

family.

to the place, | found the underkeeper
being crushed to death. AS soon as
the cowardly pachyderm saw me he
trembled in every muscle, dropped the
man and tried to run, but | gave him
lesson with my steel prod that he
never forgot. Then l picked up the
man, who, l supposed, of course, was
dead, and L found that he had re-
ceived only n broken arm and a
broken rib as result of his kindness
to the elephant. He got well in few

HOW TO HAVE GOOD FRUIT.

Under natural conditions tree
must attain certain age before it will
bear fruit. This varies greatly with
different kinds of fruit, some coming
into bearing much earlier than others.
Whenever we allow or force tree to
bear fruit before it is reasonably we'll
established, the vitality of the tree is
injured. Natures way is to let the
tree reach maturity before it sets to
work to effect its reproduction by seed.
We may by dwarfng the tree obtain
fruit earlier. In some cases and un-
der some conditions the same varieties
of trees will bear earlier than at others,
and in testing new varieties dwarfine
is often allowed in order to get at re-
suits earlier, but when this is done
extra care must be given or the vital
ity of the tree will be injured
In the ordinary orchard it is best to
let the tree bear in its own good time
rather than attempt any forcing.
Cultivate and fertilize so as to give a
healthy, vigorous growth. Get the
tree established and ordinarily it
will bear good crops of fruit.
Most trees, if thrifty and vigorous,
are inclined to overbear, to set more
fruit than they can properly mature
without n too severe draft on the vital
ity. One reason why SO many trees
bear fruit only in alternate years is
that they are allowed to overbear to
such an extent one season that the
tree is so exhausted that it requires
the next seasons growth to recuper-
ate. For this reason proper pruning
in season and careful thinning after
the fruit has formed well is necessary
bearing and at the same time secure a
better quality of fruit.
The formation of fruit buds de.
pends not so much upon changes which
occur during the present seasons
growth rs upon those which preceded
it. Bark and young wood in autumn
and winter are laden with stores man
ufactured in the leaves the year be-
fore and stored up for use when re-
quired. Generally speaking, the fruit
buds, too, are formed the year before,
and the management should be such
as will promote the development of
fruit buds at the expense of the leaf
buds. The fruit grower, so far as he
is able, must check the growth of one
and develop the other for fruit forma-
ton. But after the fruit is fully
formed it is essential that too much
be not allowed to remain on the tree.
especially if a fine quality of fruit is
desired Thinning SO that no two
specimens touch each other will aid in
improving the size, color and flavor of
the fruit. 1t is the fruit grown under
these conditions that pays the best
profit, as it sells readily for good
prices. St Louis Republic.
