The following inquiry has been sub
mitted to me for answer: docs it pay
to spay heifers 1 and 2 years old? If SO,
when is the best timer"
Without exhaustively treating the
subject, my reply would be, it does pay.
This, of course, is taking it for granted
the inquirer intends disposing of them
as beef. If the heifers are not choicely
bred and valuable as breeders, or if the
owner has a surplus, l should advise
spaying. Heifers so treated will fatten
more readily and will command high
er price when marketed. 1t was only
last week l saw bunch of spayed heif-
ers averaging $50 pounds sell in the
Chicago stockyards for 50. 90 per 100
pounds, when the heaviest and best ex-
port steers, which had been fed many
months longer, only brought So. so to
81. 90 These are facts and out argue all
the theories in the world.
If the owner decides to have his heif
ers spayed, l should advise him to be
quite sure no bull has been with them,
as the spaying of a pregnant animal is
usually connected with very bad results
and more often fatal consequences. The
best time to perform the operation is in
the spring or fall, when the weather is
not too cold and the flies have either
not appeared or have gone. If done in
fytime trouble will surely follow from
these pests, it being almost impossible
to keep the wound free from worms.
The best time to operate is when the
calf is from weeks to 2 months
old The risk at that age is much
less, and the operation is much more
easily performed The skill required
to spay a heifer is not so great but
that any handy and observant stock
man can learn TO do the same by prao-
ticing a few times with a competent
veterinarian, and l believe the extr9
profit accruing from the practice makes
it advisable to be done more often than
is now common.
Stockmen and farmers cannot afford
to leave any stone unturned that will in
the slightest add to the increase of rev.
enue from the herd. Charles E. Bum
in Breeders Gazette

In breeding horses there are other
things to consider than the appear
ance and performance of sire and dam.
One of the most important of these is
temperament. A vicious and i'll tenn
pered mare, whatever her good points
may be, should never be retained for
breeding purposes. Moral qualities are
as surely transmitted to descendants as
physical features. A vicious brood mare
should at all times be rejected. De
Curnieu, French authority, rightly
says, 'No mare should be used as a
brood mare unless she is perfectly well
known - If she has any vice, it will
most probably be perpetuated. and in
an augmented form, especially if the
sire has defects of kindred nature.
1t is of course equally as important
that the sire should be free from vice
as that the dam should be So As, how
ever, it is difficult to ascertain the tenn
per of the stallion, whether confined to
his own stable or travelling the country,
unless he has displayed his bad temper
in public, the greater the Importance of
breeding only from such mares as are
not actually vicious themselves, and
that have not even a hereditary faint Of
potential waywmdness and i'll temper
in their constitutions Although the
produce Of vicious mare, if they have
good looks and free action to commend
them, may be sold at high prices as
unbroken colts, % no one should attempt
tn breed horses for his own use from such
AN animal On the whole, it is good
policy never to breed from such mares.

JOHN BULL IN AFRICA.
The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
100000 Square Miles.

The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
100000 Square Miles.
The latest acquisition of African ter
ritory gives Great Britain an unbrolten
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to the
extreme point of the continent. In all,
this territory, held in various ways,
from Cape Colony up to the "occupa-
ton" of Egypt, is in extent about 1, AGO.,
900 square miles and has a population
of 80, 900, 900. In the Nile valley it in
cludes incomparably the best of north
Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly as
large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west of
Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern, in Ger
man hands.
The new conquests of the British
South Africa company add the great ia
blelands of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa As it stands this great high
way holds two-t thirds of all of Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry ON
efficient administration. 1t has the
most fertile tract ins the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, its
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con-
trolled.
Still more important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
start at Alexandria and run, when the
mahdi's successor is cleared away, to a
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 1875
miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs
to within 10 miles of Lake Nyassa. From
this lake the Shire river, broken at
Murchison falls, descends to the Fam
best and the Indian ocean. From nav
igable point on the Congo is less than
100 miles to Lake Tanganyika. The
Aruwini runs as near the Nile. 1t is
possible to start at the mouth of the Fam
bezi and reach the mouth of the Kongo
or Nile with less than 200 miles of land
travel, and the key and center to this
great system is now in English hands.

THE PEAR MID6E.
The Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.

The Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.
The pear nudge is one of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing a good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling diminutive mosqui-
to- 1t makes its appearance very early
jim the season before the pear blossoms
open The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing the petals or the
calyx The nudge larvae live on the
substance of the pear tissue, destroying
the seed and checking the growth of Che
fruit, which decays and drops in early
summer. Our illustration shows sound
young pear and one deformed by the pear
nudge larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach of ordinary insecticides. The eggs
are laid in the bud before it opens, and
the young larvae get into the heart of
the fruit before it is fully formed The
adult fly does not feed and is hence be-
yond our reach. 1t is only after the in
jury is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach of destructive
agencies.
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard
is in grass or clover pillow under after
June 10 as soon as may be. Top dress
with kainit 1000 pounds to the acre to
benefit trees as we'll as to kill the in
sects. AS soon as proper, say early in
August, SOW crimson clover This will
use up the potash not required by the
fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
we'll as occupy the ground. Early the
following spring turn this sod under as
deeply as may be proper. 1t should be
done before the pear buds are developed
in order to head off and destroy any
midges then in the pupa state near the
surface of the soil. This practice is at
the same time the best for the benefit of
the orchard. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

How Spiders Work.

Mr.. H. H. Dixon has been studying

in diagonals. In insects the first and
third legs ON one side move with the
second ON the other, the antenn@ NOV

legs. the first and third on one side
