LINSEED MEAL.

If you have little money that you
want to spend in profitable manner a
good way to do it is to lay in a. supply
OF linseed meal for the coming winter
1t is much cheaper now than it will
probably be in the winter, and it is an
excellent thing to have in the fall when
the fall calves are expected. | never
knew of case of trouble at caIving
when little meal had been fed for a
short time before, and while this is not
SO necessary in summer as it is in
winter, when the feed is almost dry.
still little is a very good thing to use
at such time so says the National
Stockman. "A neighbor of mine some
time ago asked me what was the best
thing to give a cow that had failed to
drop the placenta. I told him that L
did not know as 1 had never had any
trouble of that kind, but 1 could tell
him what would prevent it, and recon-
mended linseed meal. The medical pro-
fession generally recommends a dose of
phySic as first course in certain cases
of ailments that affect animals, and
While EPSON salts may have their
place, yet it is much better, / think, to
use InSeed meal and do away with the
need OF such medicines. The above
mentioned medicines are called cath
dLlICs, WHICH Is derived from a word in
some ancient language which means to
kick The idea is that when these
medicines are taken into the stomach
and intestines they irritate the Innings
to such a degree that in the efforts to
expel the foreign substance a watery
secretion is poured out in such profu-
sion that the desired end is accomp-
lished, or it is kicked out Now, it
seems to me that it is better to use
some feeding stuff that has a value as
means of giving nourishment and
will at the same time act as a cathar-
tice does, than to use a cathartic which
only acts by irritating the system into
which it is taken"

BEST FERTILIZERS FOR THE Or
CHARD.

Commercial fertilizers are better than
stable manure for the orchard. The
reason for this is that the manure in
duces too rank a wood growth and con-
sequent bad ripening of the wood.
Fruit trees require a large amount of
potash and phospheric acid, and these
may be supplied by acid phosphate and
muriate of potash, $50 pounds of the
former and so pounds of the latter be-
ing sufficient for an acre. Unleached
wood ashes are also one of the fertiliz-
ers for fruit trees. Like all other ferti-
lizers they should be spread out even
ly as far as the roots extend. Many
orchards are being starved while the
owner wonders why his trees are I'M
productive. A recognition of the fact
that they cannot give what they have
not received will soon lead to the ap-
plication of the remedy.

seventy acres of land. 1 cut alfalfa
three times during the season. In nay
opinion the further development of the
Rocky mountain region can only be
accomplished by means of storage res
ervoirs. In our section we have a
twelve-acre reservoir that is a success.
l do not think we can successfully
store and utilize the flood waters in
the mountain region. They come with
such violence and carry so much sedi-
ment and drift wood that reservoir
would soon be filed UP.
There are many mountain streams
that run good head of water from
early winter until May or June. These
are the streams would select to feed
storage reservoirs. Irrigation farming

THE OUTDOOR APIARY.

Enamel cloth ought never to be used
used and almost as often causes more
in packing bees for winter; nor anything
or less damage, which for some reason
is usually laid to other causes The prime
requisite above hives in winter is an abb
sorbent. A vapor constantly arises from
the colony, as from all animal life, which
if allowed to remain, either forms into
ice of creates a constantly increasing
dampness which is more destructive to
the bees that cold weather. If the top
cloth is impervious to vapor it prevents
it's escape. If it consists of some soft
porous material it absorbS all Vapors
and keeps the air below dry. OF course
there is a limit to the amount of moist
ure a cloth can take up. To increase
the limit as much as possible sacks should
be made of some stout but not too firm
material and stuffed with dry chaf. For

STOPPING LEAKS ON THE FARM.

There are many leaks on farms I'M
noticed by their owners, and many
buildings constructed in such way
that there will be no saving of steps.
1t is an easy matter to construct barns
in such a manner that the feed is at
the extreme end from where it is need
ed, the hay is put in and fed out in
the most laborious manner, rather than
the opposite. l know a farmer who
has his crib and granary six rods from
the barn where his horses are kept,
and all the grain fed to the farm team
is carried in baskets, all for keeping
rats out of the barn. 1t has been thus
for over twenty years. Just think of
the steps taken in carrying feed An
other has his water system so con-
structed that he put down four feet
under the ground his water pipe lead
ing to a pasture thirty rods away so
the stock in the pasture can drink He
now leads his farm teams thirty rods
to water three times per day, pays for
thirty rods of pipe digs and covers
thirty rods of trench, so the cattle and
horses in the pasture can drink when
a lane four rods wide, fenced with a
barbed wire fence, would let the stock
up to near the barn, where the tank
should be placed, and save leading the
team to water. This is no imaginative
situation, but is actually in existence,
and the owner does not see it. I know
farmer who never had a basket on
his farm, and he uses a grain bag for
carrying feed to his stock 1t is so
handy to fill a bag with ears of corn.
Another farmer hauled house water in
a barrel on a stone sled for fifteen
years, and for the same length of time
he led his teams to water eighty rods
and hauled the water out of shallow
we'll hand-over-hand. If the time should
be computed which this farmer en-
pLoyed in the useless going back and
forth for fifteen years at 81 per day, it
would put in one of the very best sys-

THE VALUE OF GREEN CUT BONE

Proper feed has more to do in pre-
venting disease in poultry than is gem
orally supposed. Roup is invariably cred
tied to filth, crowding and poor hous-
ing. How about the average farmers
style of housing, four times too many for
profit in a hut which is cleaned but
once a year? No roup and very true, few
eggs are generally found in such meth
DDS. Now. if they were properly housed
and not crowded there would be eggs.
But why not diseased?
AS the fockS are small for the out
side run they have, they get by foraglng
what by nature they require in addition
to what is fed them, and therefore dis
ease is not prevalent. True roup is fos-
tered by croWding and improper hous-
ing, but the great foundations for it is
rack of a balanced feed, which is the
case with fockS so large that the forage
is insufficient for the number, or yarding
prevents the procuring of same.
Where poultry is kept in large num-
when disease and disaster appear, as
they surely will if not supplied with pro-
per feed. Doctoring and condition pow
ders may help the affected and the same
Gently kept up will produce new cases
as fast and faster If fowls are properly
nourished, why should they not be in
health? If not, debility of some sort
must follow Can we not draw a lesson
from the farmers mongrel lot that so
as they please but are rarely diseased?
They get what they need, fresh animal
matter in the form of insects, etc. In
this age of bone-cutterS can we not sup
ply with ease this great need and double
or treble our f1ocks at will? 1 speak from
experience. as I am keeping in perfect
health over 1900 layers and breeders
by the use and aid of fresh-cut bone.
No condition powder or medicine is ne
cessary. but the cut bone is supplying
natures cravings and reducing the feed
bill. and it is only a matter of a little
time and practical observation when a
good bone-cutter will be to the poultry
department what the moving -machine is
to the hay field. Not only is cut bone a
healthy feed, but is one of the greatest
egg feeds known, for health means eggs.
Try it and be convinced that a cutter
is a necessity and luxury to the poul-
y-keeper.-Allen N. Hoxsie, Washing

GRATING.
Essentially the Work of Early
Spring.

Essentially the Work of Early
Spring.
The old method of cleft grating is the
best in practice today. The scions for
use should be cut from the tree or shrub
week or two before using and wait COW
cred in sand in the cellar. These scions
should be from the previous years
growth; not older. Select vigorous shoots:
cut three or four buds at or near the
terminal end, as the scion should not
be larger than a pencil for a, large stock.
If a small tree, say an inch through, that
is TO be grated, saw 1t off near the
ground. If a large tree, saw off two
or three branches a few inches from the
trunk. Use a sharp saw, so that the cut
shall be clean, smoothing afterwards
with a sharp knife. Take a chisel and
hammer and split the stock a little way
into halves, inserting a, hardwood wedge
in the centre TO keep the split open, so
the scions can be inserted. With a sharp
knife cut the lower part of the scion on
both sides in the shape of a thin wedge
the pointed part being about an inch
or inch and a half long. Let one side
be a little thicker than the other, so that
as you insert it into the stock the thick
est side will be on the outside and will
bind closer where it is most necessary.
Look close and carefully and see that
the scion meets exactly the same on the
stock of the tree, then insert the other
scion on tn other side of the stock in
the same manner. Withdraw the wedge
and the stock should bind the sclonS
firmly.
After the scion is firmly set take graft
ing wax Ito be purchased of any seeds
NAM and with the fingers spread it over
and into the cracks and openings made
by inserting the scions, covering thor
oughly so the air cannot get in. In cold
weather put the wax in can and this
in a vessel of hot water, but in warm
weather this is not necessary. Good clear
weather is best for grating, as you can
see better, e9sd it requires good. quick
sight 10 good work. Over the stock
and about the scion bind a cloth, the wax
viii hold it in place. Without this the
heat of the sun may cause the wax to
run.
II both scions grow it will be well TO
cut off one close to the stock, as two
branches starting out nearly together are
liable to split between them when con-
siderably grown. If grated near the
ground, drive a stake into the earth, and
when the graft has grown two or three
feet tie the shoot to it. / have had a
good many gratis break from the stock
when two or three feet TALL and hence
have found by experience that for me
It is necessary TO stake and tie them.

CUTTING AND Keeping CIoNs.

Cions, of apple, pear and plum trees;
for grating next spring, may be cut
now and any time before the buds
swell in spring.
Only the past seasons growth should
be used. The cions should be at once
packed in sand, moss or sawdust and
stored in a cellar or they may be
buried in a sandy place IF only a. few
are wanted for top grating, they may
be buried in the ground near the tree
into which they are to be set next
spring. No place is better than sand
in a cool cellar.
Only we'll formed and mature buds
should be used and the cions should
be cut long to have at least three buds
to each when inserted in the parent
stock at grating
The cions should be tied in small
punches when cut from the trees and
carefully and securely tabled before
storing that no occasion arise for dis
appointment in the result after fruit

When scions are set into the branches
of a tree leave enough OF other branches
near the graft that the growing shoot can
be tied to them and avoid breaking, l
formerly trimmed off all the older
branches when the graft was year old,
thus giving all of the growth into the
new shoots, but experience has taught
me better and. after losing several val
liable trees by so doing, [ now leave sew
eral branches below the graft, and es-
pecially on the south side of the tree,
thus leaving protection for the trunk
from the hot sun.
Use good wax, and plenty of it. Two
scions are used to be on the safe side;
if one does not do well the other may.
In whip grating slant the stock and
scion something as you would cut
quill pen, lay them together and wrap
about with coarse yarn. Stock and scion
in this method must be of the same size.
Cut scion from the ends Of the previous
years growth.
Apple and pears should be grated in
April, but cherries and plums and grape
vines should be grated earlier. Peaches
are budded, not grated.
In grapes grating is done near the root,
and the junction is covered with earth.
