FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
PROTECTING YOUNG TREES.

Young trees when badly broken
down by cattle, can often be saved by
careful pruning and painting the ex-
posed wood with thick ochre paint
well rubbed into the wound, and re-
newed until they are closed by new
wood growing over them. Bolts and
screws are necessary in repairing trees
which have been broken. A large
branch will need several props. 1t
will be necessary to cut back, often
quite severely, long branches. Some
it will be better to remove entirely.
But much loss and subsequent work
may be saved by timely and studious
pruning, to keep the heads of the
trees we'll open and properly cut
back. American Farmer.

The Cork Industry,


Herbert W. Bowen, the United
States consul at Barcelona, Spain,
recently sent to the United States
Government detailed account of the
trade in Catolonian cork. He says:
zone of the principal articles of
export from this consular district is
cork, and more of it is purchased by
the United States than by any other
country. The exports of cork to the
United States in 1891, 1892 aud 1898
amouted to s273.395, S1S9, 139 and
$171, ,012 respectively. The next heav-
lest purchasers are the Argentine Re-
public, England, Italy, France and the
Spanish colonies.
"The forests are almost all situated
in the mountains of the province of
Corona, which is contiguous to
France, and which is one of the four
provinces, comprising the principality
of Catalonia. Some of the forests are
small, but others cover many acres of
land. Most of them are natural, and
these are the hardest and most pro-
ductive. The planted forests never
yield satisfactory results.
"In the natural forests there exists
trees of 800 and even 400 years of
age. When the tree is twenty-five to
thirty years old the bark can be taken
off, and thereafter every twelve or
fourteen years, according to the vigor
of the tree. The average yield is
about forty-iive pounds, and the time
selected is generally the month of
July.
"The manufacturing is done al
most exclusively in the neighboring
towns. The bark is divided into
three qualities. according to its condi-
ton. The only instrument used in
stripping tree is the axe. Cars are
used in transporting it to the towns,
and mules and oxen are also employed
for that purpose. The wages OF cork
men are about eighty-five cents day,
which is rather more than the average
workman receives in this part OF
Spain. In order to protect the forests,
and incidentally to increase the ma
tons revenue, an export duty OF
eighty-fve cents per 100 Kilograms is
| levied on all grades of cork"

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Winter sunshine is always good for
dairy animals, II it does not reach
them through frosty air.
No COW needs a board hung over her
face, or poke around her neck, on o
farm where there are good fences.
1t never pays to overcrowd the
pasture or stable with COWS. Make
the farm larger, or the dairy smaller.
Spring is the proper season for
transplanting deciduous shade trees.
Evergreens do better planted later in
the spring.
Some COWS are older and less profit
able at eight years of age than others
are at twelve. Difference in care is
the cause OF it.
The preparation of the tree for
transplanting is of as much impor-
tance as the preparation of the soil
for its reception.
A COW is different from q child, in
that she can never be spoiled by too
much petting. Speak softly, milk
gently, and she becomes at once your
profitable friend
In order to secure the best growth
and thrift, the orchard should have as
good attention as any other crop. Be.
fore the trees are planted out the land
should be thoroughly prepared and in
good condition.
Care should be used to mutilate the
roots as little rs possible in removing
the tree. 1t is necessary that the roots
be very long, but they should not be
bruised and broken but smoothly cut.

FISH AS A FERTILIZER.

Fish scrap is an excellent fertilizer,
and the well dried and finely ground
article that is found in the market is
admirably adapted for plant food.
There is very small profit made in
handling fish, and for this reason it is
not recommended by dealers as much
as other goods. One of the largest
producers of dry ground fish claims
that "the farmer who buys fish, gets
more for his money than he can in any
other material" This is not true this
season when cottonseed and linseed
menls are so cheap, though at current
quotations fish is good stuff to buy,
for those who know how to use it.
Last year it sold in New England and
New Jersey at S35 to S3S per ton, con-
tanning of nitrogen 8 to 8 per cent,
and of phosphoric acid 81 to II per
cent, and had chemists valuation of
S36 to $41 per ton. Potash salts or
unleached wood ashes should be used
with fish to make complete manure.

cALKs ON HIND SHOES.

III. B. Chubbuck in the American
Horse Breeder, says: Mr.. Hall asks,
why use heel calkins on hind shoes?
An easy matter to explain. Simply to
ease the pastern joints and back ten
dons, which otherwise would be
strained by the rapid growth of the
toe. To illustrate: Your horse is
shod today, the foot leveled and shoe
adjusted TO the queens taste. Now
measure from the hair to the bottom
of the shoe on the toe. 1t will mea-
sure, for expample, five inches. Now
measure from hair TO bottom of heel
calk, which will measure say two inches.
If the horse has healthy foot you will
find in the course of six weeks that the
toe will measure 81 to 81 inches, while
the heel remains the same. One can
readily see that without the heel calks
the back tendons are subjected to con-
slant strain.
There is yet another advantage OF
the little heel calk. As the horse
throws his foot forward on n hard or
slippery surface, it prevents the foot
from slipping.
Why should we use heavier shoes on
the fore feet? Because the fore feet
are larger, they have more and heav-
ier pounding, they support two-thirds
6f the weight OF the horse, and there
fore it is necessary to have heavier
and sitter shoe to support them. Take
n horse driven on paved and macad-
amized streets. His front feet are the
size of number shoe, and his hind
feet one size smaller. He wears 13-
ounce shoes forward and seven-o ounce
shoes behind. am an advocate of
| light shoes, but 13 ounces is as light
as he can wear and protect himself. Ii

| satified it would impair his action, even
| if the foot were strong enough to
carry the weight. The average light
harness horse should wear from three
to six ounces more weight forward to
protect his feet and balance his action.
This applies in all cases with rare ex-
ceptions.
| would not advise using narrow
webbed shoes forward A shoe with
the webs one-half inches wide would
barely cover the thickness of the wall
forward of the quarters, and would
not be of sufficient width to protect O
font that had low sole or fat foot.
The bearing would come outside of
the braces of the foot, which would
cause the sole to drop.
There are three essential principles
to adopt in shoeing general purpose
horses. First, to adjust shoe that
is adapted to horses gait or action ;
second, one that is adapted to the
foot, and third, to the surface the
horse has to travel on.

CLIPPING HORSES.

The advantages in clipping horses
in winter are many. Notwithstanding
that some object to removing the
horses coat in cold weather, ms inter-
fering with the laws of nature, there
are sound physiological reasons for
the practice. Experience is also in
its favor-many practical men main
tanning that to clip horse is equiva-
lent to giving him an extra feed of
corn a day. The fetlock and hair
behind the pasterns should not be
removed il we desire to avoid cracked
heels-otherwis chilblains. The hair
should be left on, which from its non
conducting properties will keep that
part of the limb warm which is so
sensitive to chills. Draught horses
are better left with hair on from the
coronet to some little distance above
the knee-ioint. New York World.

MANAGEMENT OF HoTBED PLANTS.

"Sow thick and thin quick" is the
gardner's motto, writes of w. l.. An
derson of Indiana. Put in enough
seed to insure good stand but before
the plants have more than two leaves
see to it that no plant stands within
one inch of another. Radishes should
be three inches apart. In month
the cabbage will have eight leaves.
Then transplantinto open ground four
inches apart. Let them stand about
twenty days and then plant out, and if
you take good care of them you will
have all you can eat before you cut
wheat. Through April you will be
taking out lettuce and radishes also.
As these are removed transplant toma-
toes, peppers, etc, ETC., four inches
apart in the bed. Do not put these
things into open ground before the
middle of May. You will remember
told You, in making the bed, to lay
the frame on, not to stake il

HOW TO FEED coRysTALKs.

Reduce your fodder to a soft, pulpy
mass; if you do not, it will have a
sharp edge wherever the stalk is cut
and hurt the mouth Of the animal, and
will invariably cause sore gums and
impair the vigor of the animal in n
short time. If the fodder is not re-
duced to soft, pulpy mass, some ami
mails will reject it because they cannot
masticate it. owing to these very
numerous aud extremely sharp edges,
and fodder thus rejected will often
lead to the belief that there is nothing
in the corn fodder that the animal
wants. This is wrong, and nothing
can be further from the truth. Pre-
pare the food properly, and see what
different results come to light. A
machine can be obtained at a small
expense which will cut and reduce the
fodder to soft, pulpy mass, and
make it enjoyable food for the animal

feeder. Nebraska Farmer.
