ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Always select trees with a smooth
healthy looking bark.
The time to shape the heads of treea
is while they are growing.
Use the suds from the wash tubs as
fertilizer in the orchard.
Cut out all of the old canes from
among the raspberries now.
Proper thinning of the fruit gives il
better opportunity to develop
Use hardwood ashes literally among
the small fruits and in the garden.
Now is a good time to check growth
by pinching back the terminal buds.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out of the gooseber-
ries.
Sort all fruit to be sent to market
carefully, and in this way increase its
value.
Prune out all useless shoots in young
fruit trees before the growth is COM
pleted.
Before setting out strawberry plants
be sure that the soil is worked into a
fine tilth.
Late cultivation is often detrimental
by not allowing time for the new wood
to ripen.
One objection to too low training in
the orchard is that it intereferes with
the cultivation.
Good growth now practically deter
mines the value of bearing canes and
vines next season.
A good mulch properly applied keeps
down weeds and renders the soil loose,
moist and porous.
When fruit is thinned the parent plant
is exhausted far less than when all is
allowed to remain.
Every farm should have an orchard
for home use, proportioned to the ne
cessities of the family.
One advantage in selecting a reason
ably dry soil for an orchard is that it
permits of deeper setting.
The safest way to get rid of orange
rust in raspberries is to dig out every
affected plant and burn it.
Small and inferior berries are often
the result of letting the vine get toe
thickly matted in the rows.
If fruit trees are kept carefully
trimmed from the beginning they may
easily be given the desired form.
The orchard can be made to serve two
purposes-the production of fruit and
as range and feeding ground for poul-
try.
Apples should be picked as soon as
ripe. If there is delay the apples will
fall off and more or less of the crop will
be lost.
Coal ashes applied literally around
the fruit trees will not only act as a
mulch. but will help to keep away in.

BROAD TIRES NEEDED.
They Mean q Great Saving, Both c
Labor and Money.

They Mean n Great Saving, Both OF
Labor and Money.
The movement in favor of good roads
which has at last really begun to agi-
tate rural communities all over the
country involves many contributory is
sues of considerable Importance. For
instance, associations which have un-
dertaken the task of improving the
country roads are generally advising
farmers to make use of broad tires
upon their wagon wheels, instead of
the narrow tires which cut and rut a
soft road so deeply.
It is not easy to induce the farmers
to follow this advice, because it i'm
plies and requires at the outset the re-
pairing of the road. Broad-tired wag-
ons could make little or no progress
over some of the muddy and rough
roads which are too often found not far
from the busiest and most thriving
cities. Narrow wheels cut their way
through more easily, but only at the
cost of exhausting the horses which
draw the wagon, and of still further in
juring the road as a thoroughfare.
If the highway could but be improved
sufficiently to bear the heavy tires, the
wheels would act like miniature road
roller and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead of tearing it to
pieces.
AS an immediate result, access to
markets would be made much more
easy, draught animals would gain in ef-
ficiency and length of service, and it
would be possible to transport larger
leads with greater ease and conven-
ience than is the case at present.
The farmers and the rural communi-
ties which they control hesitate to take
the first step because of the immediate
expense involved. It ought not to be
hard to convince so intelligent portion
OF the community that real economy,
both of labor and money, would be
gained by improved roadbeds and the
use Of broader tires.-Youth's Com

EUROPEANS GRAVEYARD.
Almost Incredible Mortality at Ba-
tavta, ON the Island of Java.

Almost Incredible Mortality at Ba-
tavfR, ON the Island of Java.
No Europeans live at Tandion Prick,
nor in the old city of Batavia, which.
from the frightful mortality during
two centuries was known as ''the grave
yard of Europeans" The banks and
business houses, the Chinese and Arab
quarters, are in the 'old town." but
Europeans desert that quarter before
sundown, and betake themselves to the
new town" suburbs, where every house
is in a park of its own, and the ave
nues are broad and straight, and all
the distances are magnificent. The
city of Batavia, literally fair mead
ows," grandiloquently 1.-The queen of
the east" and without eXaggeration
1.-The gridiron of the east" dates from
1921, when the Dutch removed from
Bantam, where quarrels between Portu-
guese, Javanese and the East India
company had been disturbing to trade
for Is years, and built Fort Jacatra, at
the mouth of a river off which a cluster
of islands sheltered fine harbor.
Its position in the midst of swamps
was unhealthy, and the mortality was
so appalling as to seem. incredible.
Dutch records tell of 81, 600 soldiers and
sailors dying in the government hos
pital between 1714 and 1T76 and that
more than 100000 people died within
the city walls between 1890 and 1752,
the place at no time claiming over 4O,-
600 inhabitants all told. The people
were long in learning that those who
went away to the higher suburbs to
sleep, and who built houses of the most
open construction, to admit of the full
est sweep of air, were free from the
fever of the walled town, surrounded by
swamps, cut by stagnant canals and
facing a harbor the mud banks OF
which were exposed at low tide. The
city walls were destroyed in this cen
tury, the quaint old air-tight Dutch
buildings were torn town. the streets
were widened, and there is now a great
outspread town of red-roofed, white
washed houses, with no special features
or picturesqueness to make its street
scenes either distinctively Dutch or
tropical. Modern Batavia has 100000
inhabitants, less than a tenth of whom
are Europeans. While the last-century
stadhuis might have been brought from
Holland entire. n steam tramway starts
from its door and thence shrieks its
wav to the farthest suburb, and mod.
ern inventions make tropical living pos.

at the mill. Tell the sawyer what sized
silo you purpose to build, and he will
bevel them so that they will exactly fit.
The additional expense will be less than
that of attempting to stop up the
cracks with rags. We do not desire to
stop all shrinking and swelling.
When filled, we wish the silo to swell
some to aid in making tighter joints,
and then, when empty, we want it to
shrink so that moisture cannot collect
between the slaves and rot them out.
The coating of coaltar on the inside,
applied after the hoops are drawn up
tight, is entirely sufficient.
Hot tar is very penetrating and will
find its way into every crevice, thor
oughly excluding the air. Whether it
will last longer or be more effective
than when thinned with gasoline I
cannot state. There can now be pur-
chased in the market tar paint ready
for application. In our experience
with this the man who was painting
the exterior was twice overcome by
the noXious gases, and was compelled
to leave the silo. Gas tar may be pur-
chased very cheaply, and when heated
slightly makes a very efficient paint.
Trinidad asphalt may be purchased
for about three dollars barrel. This,
if used alone, is so brittle upon becom-
ing hard that it soon cracks and be-
comes worthless. Mixed in the proper
tion of nine parts Trinidad asphalt to
one part of gas tar, and heated, it
makes valuable application for roofs,
stable floors or silo. Rural New

To the numerous dangers that attend

/ Africa, in the form of huge serpents.
hippopotami, poisonous insects and
equally deadly fevers, hostile natives
! blooththirsty saurians, there has now
| been added a new terror in the form of
what are known as human alligators.
! They may be said to constitute the
aquatic counterpart of the human
| leopards, whose well-nigh incredible
/ deeds of savagery were described at
/ such lengths in the European and Amer
! lean press year or two ago, and whose
! members the colonial authorities of
| England, France and Germany on the
west coast of Africa have endeavored by
every means in their power to exter-
inmate.
Just in the same manner that the
human 1eopards array themselves in
leopard skins and conceal themselves in
the branches of trees, ready to pounce
down and rend to pieces with their iron
claws the unwary white man or native
WHO passes along the forest glades, so
10 the human aIligators conceal their
head when swimming beneath that of a
crocodile hide.
Often when a canoe manned by blacks
or boat freighted by white men sails
Ep or drifts down those rivers, which
constitute almost the only means of
transit in the less civilized portions of
the Dark continent, they will pass what
are apparently n school of ordinary aIli-
gators, lazily sleeping with their eyes
, closed and only their heads emerging
from the water.
Inasmuch as crocodiles will rarely at
tack a boat of any decent size unless in
self-defense, or else when driven thereto
| by starvation, little or no attention is
paid them. But let that boat anchor in
| the river or get tied up to the bank in
| order to permit its occupants to recup-
crate from their fatigue and from the
| effects of the heat, by means of sleep.
and it will soon be observed that these
! cTocodi1es quietly and stealthily flock
! towards the spot. And as soon as ever
! they have reached the side ofsthe i'll
| fated bark, every crocodile head will
! rise from the water, and show that ap-
| pended thereto is not the scale-covered
| body of an alligator, but the black and
| 1.-The body of man.
! Without uttering a sound they fall
upon their sleeping prey, cutting their
| throats with "cresses," or short-curved
| knives, and drinking the blood as it
| spurts from the gaping wound. Once
| the work of slaughter accomplished, the
| flesh of the victim is devoured, some
times after a pretense of roasting, but
more generally raw. For the human al
| ligators like the human leopards are
| cannibals, and are convinced that by
| feasting on human flesh they not only
add to their own strength and prolong
| their lives, but also that they are serv-
| ing the deity or fetish to the worship
| of which they are addicted.
1t is the religious element in the mat
| ter that saves these human alligators,
and likewise the human 1eopards, from
punishment. For the authorities can
| get no assistance in the matter from the
natives, who not only fear the ven-
geance of these cannibals, but also are
convinced that they would be be-
witched if they did anything to harm

COWS AT PASTURE.
1t Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.

1t Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.
There is no question that in the ma
jority of cases it pays to feed something
extra to cows that are at pasture, and if
the pasture is somewhat scant there
is no question but that it pays in every
case. But it is often a question what
to feed. If we are so fortunate or rather
SO provident as to have a supply of some
crop sown for the purpose then we are
all right, but if not then oftentimes we
are at loss. And while if feed has to be
bought corn would seldom be the cheap
est feed, yet there is no better place to
feed a milch cow corn than in the pas
ture field.
For corn is one of the most car
bOnaceous feeds that is grown on the
farm, and to compound winter ration
with corn as a basis and cornfodder as
q second is a task that cannot be done
with any degree of satisfaction unless a
liberal supply of hnseed meal or some
other feed rich in protein is purchased
But with pasture as a basis the aspect
is completely changed. For while corn
and cornfodder has nutritive ratio
of about one to fifteen, pasture grass
has nutritive ratio of one to five. 1t
can be easily seen then that liberal
feed of corn may be given to cows at
pasture, and still the ration will have
a proper ratio. This is all have to say
about it. If you have any corn in the
corn house soak it "a hours in water and
take it out to the cows and see what
they have to say few days later in
the milk pail.-National Stockman.

bad Roads Are of No Real Benefit to
Amy Living Man.
1t has been urged by some that farm
ers living near the city are benefited
by bad roads in the more distant dis
tricts, because they can manage to get
to town and realize a higher price for
their produce, while those living farther
away are unable to reach the market.
With similar fallacy it has been stated
that the country merchant is benefited
by bad roads because the neighboring
farmers are compelled to sell to them
and take their goods in exchange.
The increased value that good roads
bring to a farmers estate will more
than recomPense him for what he con-
siders a loss in the price of his produce
and in addition he reaps the advantage
