Sheep I'm New Zealand.

Mr.. Robert Cobb of New Zealand,
who has recently purchased in Eng
land some Romney Marsh sheep "a
large mutton breed) for export to New
Zealand, gives the Kentish Express
(England) an interesting summary Of
his views on that sheep growing part Of
the world. They are Of interest to
American breeders for the reason that
the strongest competition with Amer
lea in the English markets, both in
mutton and wool, will come from that
far-off land. Mr.. Cobb states that up
to ten years ago the only means of
getting rid of their surplus stock was
to boil the carcasses down and ship thd
tallow. Tallow dropped in price until
1t did not pay to export it, and the
consequence was that the price of
sheep fell until they anticipated having
to sell the carcasses at from IL to IS
cents each. About five years ago the
system Of freezing the carcasses for ex-
port was introduced, and the result has
been decrease of stock until now they
receive from $3.50 to SO per head for
the carcasses. At the average price
they are getting in London markets,
this makes about cents per pound net
for the mutton. They get three clips
of wool from sheep before the carcass
Is shipped, although the demand has
increased to such an extent that they
are now slaughtering yearlings for
shipment.

Peanuts and Their Uses.

The "goober' industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here little city in Virginia has
become the greatest distributing center
of peanuts In the world. A peanut is a
pretty small item, but an annual crop
Of something like 100000 bushels,
worth millions of dollars, makes a
pretty big item. The demand for COOLERS
has doubled within the last five years
and the supply does not fill the growing
demand. Few people know the curious
uses to which the goober has been put
In trade of late years. No other single
plant raised In this country is used In
so many different ways. The Chinese
say that the cocoa nut palm has as
many useful properties as there are
days in the year. The goober is not SO
universal as that; but 1t has as many
valuable qualities as there are days
in the week. The solid part Of the nut is
peculiarly nutritive and supplies fruit
and food for many family. The vines
make fine fodder, some say as good as
clover hay, while hogs fatten on what
still another furniture cleanser and

Sheep In South Dakota.

A writer at Pierre gives rather ia
vorable estimate of the sheep situation
In South Dakota. He says that five
years ago there was sheep boom"
that flooded that country and reduced
the price, and this decline was more
marked when the free wool talk fright
ened sheep men," He says $4,000 Is a
moderate estimate Of the number of
sheep In that part of the state-an in
crease Of so per cent in the last two
years. The price fell from 81 down to
$3.50 two years ago, and Is now about
$3.50. The advance Is considered al
most exclusively on mutton. The av-
erage wool clip in that section is about
six pounds per fleece, and last year the
price was about 1917 cents per pound.
Sheep men generally estimate wool to
pay the expense Of keeping flocks and
their profit on mutton and increase of
flock. The dry climate makes that
state especially favorable to sheep.
The Pierre writer thinks that to the
man Of small means there is no surer
and safer investment than flock of
sheep in that part Of the northwest
Northwestern Farmer.

Norman Cattle.

Considerable interest has been ex-
cited by the arrival at the port of New
York of twelve head of Norman cattle.
The Normans are among the oldest
race of domesticated cattle. and yet
are almost entire strangers in this
country. The Importation of breed
ing herd now may be of considerable
moment to the cattle interests, as they
are priced In their native land for their
general purpose-dairy and beef quail
tiles. They are described as noted for
their size, with rather coarse bone,
long, deep body, broad hips, short legs
and various shades Of red and brown In
color. Among French breeds they rank
high, the Norman farmers say the first,
as dairy animals. Twenty-Five to thirty
quarts of milk day is said to be quite
common, and the butter made COM
mands the highest price In the Paris
market. AS beef animals, they are
noted for early maturity and great
weight, but have more bone and offal
than the English beef breeds. The
chief claim made for the Normans Is
hardness and freedom from faint of
the modern fad Of pampered cattle,
tuberculOsis.-

The Ghost of Fireman's Sweetheart

Three miles east of Richmond, ILL.,, on
the Pennsylvania, is "The Junction"
There are a large tower and an inter
locking switch. 1t is the union of three
branches of the Pennsylvania, one for
Dayton, another for Piqua and the third
for Cincinnati. The machinery Is ar
ranged so that collision is impossible at
that point, for the operator in the tower,
by turning lever can derail any train
that Is on the wrong track. Before the
interlocking switch was established the
place was known as Dead Mans
Gulch," because of the numerous acct
dents that happened there. Old rail-
road men say that on the anniversary
of an accident at this place the ghost Of
woman appears and stands in the mid
die of the track until the train is nearly
upon her. Then she disappears. An en-
gineer on the Cincinnati branch-then
owned by the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton-had a sweetheart, the story
goes, whose father was a small farmer,
living in the vicinity Of Dead Mans
Gulch." When her lover was due to
pass the girl would sit on the high bank
above the tracks to throw kisses at him
as he went by. The girls father was
opposed to the marriage, and an elop-
ment was planned. 1t was arranged
that on certain night the young wom-
an was to be at the second switch east
Of the crossing, and her lover would
stop the train, taking her on board.
They would go to Cincinnati and be
married. The young woman was at the
spot designated, but that night a new
engineer had her lovers place in the
cab. She saw the train coming, and
stood In the center of the track, think
ing that he would stop for her. When
the train was close she could not move
for fear, and she was killed. Her lover
was crazed with grief. He resigned his
place on the road. Years afterward he
was killed In a wreck on Texas road.
1t was long believed that the young
woman was killed while trying to cross
the track, and the story Of the intended
elopment was not known until shortly
before the death of the lover in Texas.

Appie-Treo Lice (Aphis Mali Fabr.)


Prof. James Troop, horticulturist at
Perdue University, writes: This little
insect has appeared in such numbers in
our apple orchards as to attract the
attention Of fruit growers from all over
the state. In fact inquiries were re-
ceived during the winter concerning
the eggs which were found In unusual
abundance on the branches. Since the
warm weather began these inquiries
have become so numerous that 1t seems
best to publish a brief account of the
insect and means of combating it.
The little shiny black eggs, men,
toned above, are deposited by the fe-
male louise on the twigs and smaller
branches of the apple trees in the aut-
umn. About the time the buds begin
to expand in the spring, these eggs
hatch into very small light green lice,
which Immediately insert their tiny
beaks into the young and tender leaves
and commence sucking their juices
The broods Matched at this time are all
females, which mature sufficiently in
ten or twelve days to enable them to
begin the process of reproduction,
which, contrary to the general rule,
thCy are dDiC W w WAthOut thO PlCo-
ence of the male, and the slow process
of egg laying is avoided, as the young
which are produced during the summer
are Matched within the mother. The
process of throwing off these summer
broods continues until fall, when a
brood of true males and females Is pro-
duced, from which comes the stock of
eggs for the next seasons supply.
Remedies The many inquiries re-
ceived concerning this insect have de-
veloped the fact that people are not
generally acquainted with the man
ner in which 1t takes it's food. Like
all members of this family, instead of
having well developed jaws for biting
and chewing, its mouth parts are de-
veloped into beak, which is adapted
for sucking. 1t will be seen therefore
that the arsenites will have but little
value in fighting this pest, as it takes
it's food from the inner tissues of the
plant. 1t will therefore be necessary
to apply some substance which kills by
contact: and the kerosene emulsion is
as effective as any substance which
can be used. This Is made by dissolv-
ing one-half pound of hard soap in one
gallon of hot water, after which add
one gallon of kerosene or coal-oil and
mix thoroughly, by forcing the mix
ture back into the same vessel by
means Of spraying pump, until it be-
comes thick creamy mass. Dilute
this with ten times its bulk of water be-
fore applying it to the trees.
These insects also have their natural
enemies, which aid very materially in
their destruction. Among these are the
several species Of Lady-bird beetles,
hich are unusually plentiful this sea-
son. They should not be destroyed, as
friends.

The Wool Trade.

Within the past few weeks wool has
sold In eastern markets at the lowest
price on record and has not as yet
shown any disposition to get away
from that point. Notwithstanding
these conditions the situation Is not
without some encouraging features.
Those who are in position to Judge
think that the prices have reached
about as low point as they will touch
under present circumstances. There
has been a general Improvement in
other staples, which has not as yet been
shared by the wool market. 1t Is
thought that this general improve
ment In business must sooner or later
work some improvement In wool, al
though 1t is by no means certain that
this will be the case. Until the last
week or so there has been little or no
buying Of wool for investment, but re-
Gently spectators have considered 1t
good prospect and have bought some
wool in anticipation of better prices.
This investment buying has not been
extensive, however, and prices have
shown no improvement on account of
1t. Aside from labor troubles the mills
are generally in operation, and should
the Improvement in business continue
they will require larger supplies of
wool. The London sales, which opened
at decline some weeks ago, became
stronger. All these features, which do
not include the great factor of supply,
seem to justify expectations of some
improvement in the wool trade, but 1t
should be remembered that the woods
of the world are at the doors of our
manufacturers, and the supply in sight
seems too great to justify expectations
Of a great boom.
During the first three months Of the
present year wool sales in the three
leading eastern markets have been over
10000, 900 pounds in excess of the same
time last year. This excess has been
largely in the trade in foreign woods.
Boston alone shows an increase Of over
100000 pounds in sales of foreign
woods and slight decrease in the sales
of domestic woods. Philadelphia shows
an increase of over 100000 pounds of
foreign wool sold since the first Of the
year. The first four months Of the year
the receipts of wool at Boston were
102,308 bales domestic and $3.50 bales
foreign, an increase of 80,450 bales Of
foreign wool over the receipts for the
same time last year. These numbers
give some idea Of the figure that for
eign wool is now cutting in American
markets and suggest that reduced
clip Of domestic wool will have compar-
atively little influence on prices.

People Induced to Buy Books Which

"Oh, its dime novel. Just got a

"You have? So have l."

Treatment of Meadows.

A number Of the experiment stations
arr discussing the treatment Of mead
owy,
According to the Minnesota station,
grasses and clovers sown in that state
in the spring with small grain crop
should have a hard, fall-plowed seed
bed. If the soil be wet and heavy, har-
rowing should be very light, but IL the
land be dry 1t may be thorough. Per-
manept meadows are not considered as
profitable as short rotations Of mead
ows and cultivated crops. For wet
lands a mixture of red top and alsyke
clover Is recommended. The latter
makes a good growth in the first few
years, while several years are re-
For this reason redtop does not find a
place in short rotations. The cost of
orchard grass seed, from SO to IS for
the three bushels necessary to an acre,
practically excludes this grass from a
short rotation. Timothy fits into rota-
ton well, but alone 1t serves for only
a few years in permanent pasture or
meadow. Blue grass in Minnesota
grows eco short for meadows. In choos-
ing field for permanent meadow, 1t
is we'll to avoid dry. sandy or gravelly
soil.
At the Michigan station recently
seeded meadows yielded more hay than
those which had been in grass and pas
tured for about twenty-five years. The
following plants were sown alone:
Meadow fescue, meadow foxtail, tall
oat grass, redtop, June grass (blue
grass, orchard grass, alfalfa, agropy-
rum tenerum, fowl meadow grass, tai
Ter meadow fescue, timothy red clover
and mammoth clover. Meadow fescue
and perennial rye grass were sown to-
gether. The yields made by these two
were compared with the hay from
mixture of timothy, tall oat grass, Or
chard grass, red clover, mammoth
clover, and agropyrum tenerum. The
mixture Afforded by far the largest
crop.
The Massachusetts station condemns
the seeding down of grasses in the
spring in Massachusetts. On the other
hand, in Kansas 1t has been found best
to seed In the spring, not earlier than
April Is. On the Kansas station farm
mixture of orchard grass e bushels
per acre., and red clover g Quarts), has
proven more satisfactory than any
other combination.
Sugar Feeding.-The results Of ex-
periments In the use of molasses and
sugar in the feeding of cattle made at
the sugar factory at Libnowes, Austria,
are given by Mons Vivien In lie Fer
mer. The trials extended over 80 days.
Twelve beasts had added to their usual
rations, for days, 2lb. 3 OF. Of molasses
per day; for the following Is days, 3 Id.
4 o., and for the last s days, 4 Id. 8 OF.
The average weight Of each beast be-
fore the experiment was 1120 h., and
after the experiment 1904 h., being
gain Of "a Id. per head, or a total of
1908 lib. This is equivalent to q daily
gain per head of over 2 Id. 9 OF. Twelve
other beasts were experimental on at
the same time, and fed In the same
way as the former, except the molasses.
In 80 days they increased 784 h., corre-
spending to 65 1-3 lib. per head, or an
average Of nearly 2 ID. OF. per head
per day. As to the profits, the net gain
was calculated to nearly dollar per
head in favor Of the molasses-fed ami
mals.
