APPLES FOR COWS.

They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay TO ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality DO shipped and the rest be fed
to tho COWS. Where markets are so de-
pressed as at this time it often happens
that common stock will not pay any
will bring fair price. If, therefore, we
ship only tho best we have better
chance Of making something on our APP
ples, and at the Same time have a lot ot
good feed for the cows, or, in fact, al
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach tho desired limit,
which will be found to be about ten
pounds per day for COW. Apples con-
tain greater proportion OF carbo-
hydrates to protein than most feeds;
consequently they need to be supple
mented by some feed rich in protein,
such a. linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran. as tho
apples themselves have all the nedicin-
al properties that make the linseed val
uablo
II it is possible the apples should be
run through a root cutter, MS there is
danger of the cows choking themselves.
This danger is, we think. rather remote,
ms we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows. and have yet to see the first cow
choke. -Nationai Stockman.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

II apples that are stored in n cool
place are headed up in barrel, they
will keep better.
The land for the sugar beet should
be plowed in the fall. and after plow-
ing, unless the land is very rich, apply
plenty of wcll-rotted manure.
The potato blight is on the increase.
Bordeaux mixture for blight AMI paris
green for bugs Will ha,eNto be kept in
stock by the potato grower.
1t is not much trouble or expense TO
construct dollhouse for forcing early
vegetables or growing vegetables III
winter. The farmer can do this.
The apple grower who does not re-
gard the apple rs he would any other
crop, and furnish the trees with food,
as he does other crops, will not sue
coed.
IL the farmer would go at the work
Of producing early vegetables, he could
laugh at the low prices for grain, if
they should continue. Early vegetables
always pay.
If fruit trees grow too rapidly they
will not bear well. The force goes into
the wood. When young trees grow too
rapidly, it is a good plan to put the
orchard in grass. This will check the
growth.
If house plants become frozen, dark
en- the room and sprinkle with water
from the well, with a few drops of
spirits of camphor in it. Keep the

Unsuccessful Spraying.

On the subject of unsuccessful spray
ing, the Missouri experiment station
bulletin says: I'VE some times hear OF
unsuccessful results from spraying, but
these experiments show, while all dis
eases cannot be Immediately and total
ly eradicated, that continued spraying
will cause the fungous diseases men
toned to grow less each year. One in
telligent fruit grower sent word to the
station that he had carefully sprayed
according to directions, but that tlGeto
was more scab on his sprayed than on
his unsprayed trees. A careful exam-
ination of apples from his orchard re.
vealed the fact that they were badly
burned probably by impure cLem-
icals or too strong a mixture), but the re
was nc trace of fungous disease in his
fruit. ~

THE HAND SEPARATOR.
What the Machine Is, How 1t Works and
What It Saves.

What It Saves.
Prof. G. S. Plumb, Maryland Expert
mental Stations: "The hand separator
consists of a small metal bowl, which
is revolved with great rapidity by
means of cogwheel connections. Milk
turned into the bowl separates into
skim milk. which accumulates in the
outer portion of the bowl, and cream,
which gathers near the center. After
the separation in the bowl the cream
and skim milk escape from it through
outlets into separate tubes, from which
they are conducted into cans. This ac-
ton Of separation is continuous so long
as the bowl is revolving at suitable
speed.
"Separators are now commonly sold
on the market that do satisfactory
work. practically removing all the but
ter fat from the milk. On the average
farm probably every 100 pounds of skim
milk secured by the old-fashioned
methods contains from one-fourth to
one-half pound of fat. More is left in
the milk than farmers are often aware
of. The properly-run separator removes
nearly all, if not all Of this.
"The writer believes that every per-
son who keeps five or more cows, with
the object of making as much butter
from them as possible, who makes gilt
edged butter and who is interested in
progressive dairying would find in the
hand separator money-making ma
chine. Other people are likely to be dis
appointedif they buy hand separator

An influential German illustrated
journal notices the report of tho Amor

American horses. This is significant
fact and Il suggestive one, also. 1t has
not been long since tho idea of sending
American horses to Europe would have
been ridiculed. Tho advance in this
branch of live stock industry in this
country has been wonderful.
The best blood Of American English
(Which includes Scotland) and French
horses has been used to improve
American horses. And the result is that
these horses are now going abroad in
considerable numbers. Since 1898 il
appears that 10000 horses have been
shipped from America to German
ports. the chief ports being Hamburg
ond Bremen. They bring on an average
about S175 each, and are often resold
for $3.50 Mt Leipsic and other inland
cities. 1t Is stated also by the same
paper that purchasers for these Amer,-

Denmark to Hamburg to obtain them,
which shows that there is n market in
those countries for American horses.
But it is well to note the fact that
poor stock fails to find purchasers at
remuneratiye figures. and German
newspapers warn American shippers
that il is useless to send such inferior
animals to Germany. The fact is also
emphasized that great care should be
taken in handling and feeding the
horses on shipboard.-Farmers' Voice.
