CARE OF TREES.

There is no better time than the
present to examine groves and groups
of trees In order to determine whether
they are becoming overcrowded, and
10 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
10 interfere with its use. AT this sea
son, too, it is easier to find where
branches are growing too thickly Oh 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 a sharp knife. Coal tar

OATS FOR

No supplemental food is better than
ground oats asa help in developing
the heifer calf. As soon as she begins
TO eat hay she should have a little
night and morning, fed dry. Begin
with a half pint of feed, or even less,
and gradually increase the quantity
until she will take a pint at a 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 tine
only thing with the calf which you
expect to develop into a dairy cow.
The training is almost equally i'm
portsnt. She should betaught to lead
by a halter, to stand quietly and to
bear handling long before the time
when, as a COW, she will be forced TO
submit to these restraints. No forci.

you sre willing to take a little pains
about these matters during early calf.

This Is a common experience with
all managers OF horses doing heavy
city work, but il 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
'unday's rest the plan of reducing the
feed and making it of a 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 vsri-
Gus ways hardly less injurious even if
less apparent TO the eye.-Rural

sEEprNG WHEAT TO SHEEP.

Moderate feeding of wheat to any
animal is not necessarily unwholesome.
Wheat is "A rich food, on account of
the large quantity of gluten it con-
tains, and when fed in excess to any
animal this causes the masticated
grain TO gather in masses in the stom-
sch, and thus interfere with the di.
gestion of it. Then, of course, trouble
follows, and sheep are more easily hurt
in this way than any other animal. Ii
wheat is to be fed, and its present low
price makes this desirable, it is safest
TO grind it coarsely and mix it with
some cut hay, and thus avoid the usual
result of feeding it alone.-New York

A Treasury expert estimates that

the amount Of money actually in
vested in the trust. The profit amounts
in dollars, according to this expert, to
over So, 900, 200. In view OF this inn
mense profit, the story that certain
United States Senator received in
cash 81, O0D, 900 on condition of protect
ing the trust does not seem SO absurd.
1t is not known that the story Is
tire, but it is pretty well known that
just before the sugar legislation began
this Senator was extremely hard up,
and that when the passage OF the Sem
ate schedule became certain he was in
greater atfiuence than ever before.

the value to health of the pure liquid

What Causes Panics.

The San Francisco Argonaut has
dug up some curious facts from the
mass of statistics relating to immi-
grafton, and from them draws the
conclusion that immigration was the
cause of the financial panics OF 1897,
1854, 1873, 1852, and 1928.
"The immigration of the year
1884," says the Argonaut, was the
largest that had been known up to
that time, and the number had been
steadily climbing up for five years
before that time. After the falling
off resulting from the panic of 1887,
the highest point was again reached
in 1854 to be followed shortly by the
second great panic. After the civil
war, increasing numbers OF the peo-
pie Of Europe fiocked to our shores
in search of homes until 1873, when
a new record was established at 459,-
500, which preceded another panic.
This point was again passed just be-
fore the depression Of 1882; and dur
ing the three years before last years
panic the greatest yearly average
that has been known was attained.
IL 10 iupOSsiUlc, VI COuIoc, 10 De
certain that the panics were the re-
suits Of immigration, but IL it be
only series of condolences we are
considering, it is little short of
miraculous. On the other hand, 1t is
easy to see how excessive pressure of
starving immigrants eager to gain
foothold and earn livelihood of
some sort, however meager, might
end in disaster.
Too keen competition among wage
workers infallibly results not only in
throwing many OF them out of en-
ployment, but also in reducing wages
among those who remain employed.
When wages fall the standard Of liv-
ing falls. That directly affects the
tradesman and the manufacturer, and
their influence upon the banks is so
absolute that when they are in dis
tress credit shrinks at once. When
credit is collapsed then, of course, all
business staggers, and that which we
call a panic follows Immediately.
1t is an ingenious theory, and mer-
its further investigation.
