GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

low, spreading tree is least affected
by the winds.
The kind of soil has much to do with
the quality of fruit.
Always remove dead or decaying wood
from growing trees.
1t is not too late yet to fill vacant
places in the orchard.
A fast-growing tree is not apt to pro-
duce very much fruit.
All superfuous branches are need
less drain upon the resources of the
tree.
In pruning the grapes it is good
plan to allow five canes to each post,
cutting back yearly.
Red clover is one of the best plants
for orchards, it keeps the ground loose
and enriches the soil.
Pruning is done for two reasons: To
make symmetrical, long-liyed trees and
10 cause fruitfulness.
Got ice? Got cnsilage? Why not?
Ice is good all summer and ensilage sup
plements early spring pasture.
The most important thing in pear Gull
ture is good, well-drained soil. Train
the trees carefully while young.
If grape vines are expected to bear
well to good old age they must be in
diligently pruned from the first.
a well-grown, thrifty tree, well es-
tabished, may survive few years of
neglect, while a younger tree would
soon die of such treatment,
When trees are badly infested with
bark lice, one of the best remedies is
to wash them with strong solution of
tobacco, to which is added the same
quantity of soap suds.-St. Louis Re-
ni,blic

Liberal RatiOns Are Necessary to Sc
cure Satisfactory Results.

cure shtisihctOry hesuits.
The character of the feed determines
to a very considerable extent the guam
tity and quality of the milk and but
ter from a good COW. An extra yield OF
butter will naturally follow the use
OF richer ration, but this is not ale
ways the case with a common COW. So
there is something in the breed as web
as in the feed.
The dairyman who is seeking the best
results at the lowest cost should salts
fy himself as to what are the best kinds
of feed, considering the cost, that will
produce the most and the best milks.
Generally a combination of feeding
materials will give the best results, as
certain elements wanting i'm some food
will be supplied by others. Succulent
food increases the flow of milk, but does
not materially increase the proportion
of water in it. Still, feed often does
make change in the dry substance of
the milk.
A ration rich in albuminoids will
make richer milk, and the relative
proportions of fat and casein are
changed to very considerable extent
by change in the ration. Another
point that is well settled is that GER
tain kinds of food will produce changes
in the composition of milk not indi-
Gated by chemical analysis. Succulent
food is productive of the largest guam
t'ty of fat in the milk, and also has
the effect of causing the cream to sep
arate more readily from the milk and
the butter globules from the cream,
leaving less fat in the butterlnilk
For dry feed combination of four
parts of wheat bran, two of cornmeal
and one of linseed oil makes one of
the best, especially during the winter.
If any change is made in summer it
would be from corn to ground oats.
This. with good pasture. makes n com
plete ration for mich cow during the
summer. When the pasturage cannot
he supplied, some good soiling crop
that can be cut off and fed green may
sake its place
Liberal feeding is always necessary
with the dairy COW, as it is only the
surplus over and above what is neces-
sary to sustain life and thrift that is
used for milk. If the cow is kept up to
her full capacity she must have all the
oppetizing. milk-producing food she
will consume. 1t is only this kind Of
feeding that makes a good profit in
dairying.-St. Louis Republic.

people; they should speak and write
for the minds and the hearts of the peo-
pie, yea, and for their pockets as well;
they should write and speak distinctly,
bravely, honestly, practically, in such
II way as to turn the attention OF the
millions to the great question; in such n
way rs to set hundreds OF thousands to
talking about good roads where thou.
sands now are talking about them; in
such way as to arouse enthusiasm,
bring about organization, lead 20 prac-
teal work, to the actual building Of
good roads.
That is what am going to try to do
in this article, not 10 shoot over the
heads of the people, but right into their
hearts. their minds, their pockets.
a gentleman who has had much eXpe-
rience in travelling over dusty as well as
muddy roads has figured on the cost of
both dust and mud. Let him deal with
dust now. He estimates that the dam
age to harness from dust is SIS per
team, or $4,000, 900 annually, and to
vehicles double that, or S3O,OO0,0O0. His
estimate of damage to clothing is an
average of $40 10 every man and woman
obliged to encounter dust clouds and
storms, which means that the 100000
of people lose S70,000000 each year
from flying dust. He expresses the be-
lief that thousands of people every year
receive injury to their eyes from the
same cause. requiring large outlay of
cash, not to mention suffering, incon-
venience and loss of time.
= These figures are well calculated to
cause thoughtful men and women to
stop and count the cost of bad roads in
other respects. a loss of Sl15,000,000
from one result of poor roads is worth
looking into.
For century the people have been
suffering from dusty roads certain
portions of the year. Probably not one
in $4,000 people from the birth of the
republic until now has ever stopped to
consider the question of damage from
dust, while all have groaned over its
inconvenience and annoyance.
1t is easy to figure up the billions of
dollars that have been lost from that
one cause the past century. The aver
age good road affords but little dust.
Some one asks how shall we get good
roads? Begin by dgitating. Agitate
in the home circle, in the everyday
walks Of life, in public meetings, through
the press, in farm Institutes, at county
and state fairs, in the debating societies,
anywhere, everywhere. and when plb-
lie sentiment has reached the right
- \ i
Agitate it practically; antagonize no
element; interest all elements; make
it plain that good roads are in the inter-
est of ali from money standpoint;
from the standpoint of comfort, con-
venience and economy.
Such agitation, on such question, in
such an age ought to be easy. Go at it.

value of Cottonsced.

Those who have made study of the
proper methods for the perfect culti-
walton of cottonseed claim that II proper
apparatus were introduced in the south
the value Of the produce could easily
be doubled. and reach not less than
$100,OO0.OOo annually. an amount equal
to one-third of the cotton crop itself.
As it is, the processes in the manufacture
of cottonseed oil are very crude. and
much that is useful is wasted. The
charge of carelessness in manufacture
seems strange in view OF the fact that
most of the $30,00O,O00 invested in cot
tonseed oil manufacture is northern
capital. and the managers are northern
men.

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
loses more fat than most farmers
dream Of. If ice is used at once after
milking to reduce the water round the
cans to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
the fat will rise, leaving not more than
one-fifth of one per cent; and IL the
water is ut 60 degrees or above, one per
cent. or more will be left in the skim
milk. This one or more per cent. is a
third or half of all the fat in the
milk. This suggests the putting up of
ice by the private dairyman. The eli
mate of Kansas provides for this, and
It is greater boon than many imagine.

An Eioquent md Convincing Talk on
Mud, Money and Dust.
1t was Gen. Phil Sheridan, in one of
his great battles in the Shenandoah val
ley, who rode along the line and gave
orders to this effect: do not shoot
over their heads. This is not going to
be play battle. Shoot to hit, and have
it tell" That was good advice in war;
1t is equally good in civil life. This
contest for good roads, contest that
means much for the millions and hun
dreds of millions of profit to the mil
lions, is not play contest, battle for
amusement. 1t is contest in which
the best minds and the best hearts Of
the nation are becoming interested; in
which men engaged in all branches of
trade are becoming interested; in which
every farmer, every laborer, every man
and every woman in the country will
yet become deeply interested. AS this
is true, every orator who talks on good
roads at farmers institutes, county and
state fairs, and on other occasions,
should not talk over the heads of the
people; every editor and correspondent
who writes on the subject should write
with, distinct purpose in view. They
should not write over the heads of c!le

Notes ON Decoration.

Color harmony, space or PLAIN surfaces
OF color, is what is needed to transform
W out of every 100 inartistic rooms.
Painted woodwork is more desirable
than natural finish for bedrooms, or
Wherever especially dainty effects are
desired.
a single large rug is less troublesome
.han several smaller ones, but If the lat
yer must be used, do not arrange them
iantastically, as though the object was
:" display them rather than to make an
enective foundation for the furniture.
=. The coloring of oriental rugs is less
,,kely to be out of harmony with wall
decoration than any other floor-cover-
