Double yolk eggs indicate that the
hen that lays them is too fat. They

When grass is just coming in it will
be an advantage to use a little salt in
the ground grain food, but only enough
for seasoning. Too much salt is des-
trimental, creating thirst and leading
to Inflammation of the bowels. This is
due to the drain on the body of it's
fluids, the birds being unable to drink
sufficient water to counteract the
effects of an overdose of salt

THREE NEW VERBS OF THR
MUSTARD FAMILY.

Three plants belonging to the mus
tard family have been reported from
several new localities in the northern
United States and Canada during the
past four years. In some of these places
they have already become aggressive
weeds. Although they are as yet CON:
fined to comparatively smah areas and
have thus far caused little damage in
this country, the fact that they are
spreading in grain fields, meadows, and
Cultivated land, and also that they are
weeds in the fields Of western Europe,
are reasons why farmers should be
warned to be on the lookout for them.
There ig little danger Of injury from
noxious weeds of this class If they can
be recognized and destroyed upon their
first appearance. These species are not
described in any American manuals OF
plants except IN the larger ones issued
within the last two years.

SPRAYING FOR APPLE sCAB.

This fungeus disease produces Gcabby
spots upon the fruit and also attacks
the leaves and green shoots. It first
appears on the leaves in the shape of
smoky, greenish spote, more or less cir
cular in outline. These gradually en-.
large, finally becoming almost black.
Spores or seeds are produced in i'm
mense numbers and by NEAR Of these
the disease spreads to the fruit and to
other trees. The spores winter on fallen
fruit, leaves, etc, and are ready to
start in spring. The growth Of the
tree is checked and the fruit in many
cases practically ruined, especially fol-
market.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture has
been found effective by the Ohio Elk
pertinent Station, Bulletin 70. In the
spring, before growth starts, give the
first application Of the spray made a.

TO make 80 gallons. Just before the
blossoms open, spray sgain and after
the petals have fallen give a third ap
nlication. If there is still evidence Of
scab, spray again seven or ten days
Iater. but three times will usually be
found sufficient.
Many orchardists entirely neglect
their trees during An ''of' year, think
ing that as there is notruit to belooked
after, spraying is not necessary. A
moments consideration viii show the
fallacy of this. The fungous diseases,
particularly ecab, being able to live
and thrive on the branches and leaves,
produce innumerabIe spores the year
there is no fruit and these will cause
great loss the following season. The
only way to secure immunity istospray
regularly each spring and summer,
fruit or no fruit.-American Agricul
turist.

ADULTRRArED PARIS GREEN.

Orchardists who are preparing TO
spray for Goblin moth should be on
their guard against adulterated Paris
green. A rough but fairly accurate
test can be made by placing a small
quantity upon a pane of glass, and
holding it in a ,slanting position, tap
ping gently with the finger until the
material all runs eff. If the film ad
herring to the glass is of a uniform,
bright green color, it is probably pure.
If there are white or colored streaks In
the film it should be rejected, Rs it 10
impure, and es the amount of adul
iteration is not known, no estimate can
be made Of the amount to use. With
pure Paris green the proper proportion
is 1 pound to 200 gallons of water. IN
der the new Colorado law trees cannot
be sprayed with poison during the bios
soming period, on account of the In
jury to bees, but may be sprayed az
o rs the blossoms fall and for the
Goblin moth any time within ten days
thereafter will answer just az WE'LL

TYPRs OF KENTUCKY SADDLE
HORSES.

Kentuckians have bred saddle horses
for beauty and charm, and have got
them. There is q charm about the
Kentucky horse that no other Ameri-
can horse has. No other animals
have met in the country exists in the
memory with quite the fascination OF
certain horses I have seen In Kentucky.
There was, for instance, q few miles
from Lexington, q roam geldiDg that
had this fascination to a high degree.
He had the graceful Kentucky char
acteristics-and yet with q difference.
His beauty appeared particularly in
the shape of the rump and in the car
riage Of the tail. There was an exquisite
trick in the conformation of the quar-
ters. Charming and very Kentucky"
you said, as you looked at them, and
yet you felt you had never seen quite
that before. It was perhaps q bold
fight nearer the Kentucky ideal than
you had seen. This quality Of the
figure was certainly due to an infusion
Of the Denmark grace.
The tail was the other chief beauty.
There was an airy grace in the carriago
Of it which reminded you Of the fortu-
nate work Of some architect Of genius.
"What have you done TO himG" I said,
referring to the graceful lightness with
which the tail was held. Nothing
said the farmer; ''as you drive out Of
the gate you will aeaJhIs old dam In the
pasture tS the left, and you will see
that she carries just the same tail that
he does" ! did look at the mare on
the way out, and it was so. This car
rage of the tail is also a Denmark
Characteristic. It is said, by the way,
that this tail has been transmitted to
the Kentucky horse from the Arab
progenitor of the English thoroughbred,
and that the trait is due to the fact
that the-hair was not allowed TO grow
upon the tail of an Arab till he wasf five
years old; the custom Of keeping the
tail shaved, observed through many
generations, made IL thus light and
easily held up-Harper's Weekly.

LIVE STOCK.

Damaged corn is always very dear
feed for q horse.
PROFESSIONALLY oats, corn, bran and
hay come first the list of horse foods
In selecting a man to care for and
work the horse, accept none that are
not naturally fond Of horses.
Every intelligent farmer should have
at least two finely bred, stylish young
horses ready for market every year.
Every blow or Cross word given the
dairy COW costs the owner from 2 cents
up, according to the nervous tempera
ment Of the COW.
When a horse is off his feed, or
slightly aiIing from any cause not in
diCative of violent disease, bran masheB
with good nursing will bring him out
all right In nine use out of ten.
Clean out the feet of every horse
when the days work is done; brush
the necks and breasts thoroughly, and
if they are inclined to be at all tender
or sore, battle with some cooling lotion.
It is impossible to get the entire
amount of milk from some COWS with,
out reaching we'll up onto the udder,
and inducing the milk to flow into the
teets. Many good cows are premA-
turely dried through neglect of this
simple thing,
Sometimes there is more in the dairy
man than in the breed, silage, patent
churn, starter, and all other parapher.
MALTA. Regularity, cleanliness and
common sense count for a great deal.
Prizes are often taken where the open
pan and barrel churn are the only
utensils.
There are instances where a breeding
SOW has been kept a dozen years or
more, but as q rule, it is believed that
seven years is the limit of usefulness as
q breeder. When she holds up her head
like q COW in feeding is shows that she
is losing her teeth, and is not to except
for breeding purposes.
With the right management q SOW
should produce two litters of pigs each
year, and two or threes ows will usually
supply all that the average farmer will
care TO feed and fatten. With carei in
breeding and in fostering these can be
so distributed that some will be pre-
pairing for market at all seasons.
The pigs should be taught to eat al
early as possible, and should be pro
vided with an apartment into which the
SOW cannot enter. They will begin to eat
regularly at four weeks old, and can
then be weaned without any loss. Bran
is the best food we have for developing
bone and muscle, and q little additional
cornis a help, says the Indiana Farmer.
Butter and eggs seem really made to
go together, and nothing fits better on
a dairy farm than a moderate lot OF
cnlckens. Not only do the latter con.
sumo the waste milk products with
Proht, but those who pay the best
prices for golden butter win be quick.
eE6o buy the fresh eggs and the fat
poultry. They mutually help each the
sale Of the other.

gether, when it is formed by hand into
balls, though Mr.. Fuller is thinking of
getting a mould for that operation.
These balls of cottage cheese weigh a
little more than three quarters OF a
pound each, or about ten pounds to the
dozen.
They are then packed into boxes 4
inches high inside, with hinged covers,
nicely painted outside. Each time, be.
fore packing the balls in, the boxes are
lined with white wrapping paper. A
largeprinted label is pasted on the cover
Of each box.
MI. Fuller has four customers at
Amsterdam, N. Y.-eleven miles from
his home-to whom he delivers the
cheese every Saturday and finds the
demand greater than the supply. One
of his customers keeps a meat market
and the other three are grocerymen.
One of his customers wanted the entire
production, but Mr. Fuller prefers to
distribute it through the city.
Mr.. Fuller estimates that his skim
milk made into cottage cheese brings
him 81 90 per 100 pounds. Then he
has left the whey which when mixed
with middlings makes excellent feed
for hogs and hens and by putting In a
little oil meal makes a fine feed on

CONTINUOUS RGG LAYING.
its absence

No breed Of hens will lay an egg each
day for any very long time without a
period of rest. This IL tTue sven of
what are called the non sitting variO
sieg. There are @ few days rest, gen
orally, though sometimes not moro
than one or two between different set
tings. Il is really surprising to see a
small hen-and some OF the best lay
ers are usually Of small breedB-pro-
duciDg her weight in eggs within three
or four weeks. For it's bulk, the egg
furnishes the most nutritious food that
a man can eat. Except It's shell, every
thing is eatable and nutritious. But
all hens have to pass some time In
moulting. To produce a new coat Of
feathers takes much the same kind Of
nutrition as to produce an egg. Dur
ing this period, therefore, egg produc
tion ceases, and if moulting is delayed
until cold weather the fowl does not
usually begin laying until spring.
White wash your hen houses, and
kill the lice by 20 doing.
Sofa shelled eggs are due either to
too much fat or too little lime.
Eggs wen two weeks old are unfit
for Matching purpose, even If turned
every two or three days.
For the egg eating habit soak egg
shells in kerosene oil and scatter
around, says the Wisconsin Farmer.
Clean your poultry houses twice q
week at least. and whitewash once a
month if you want your hene kept free
from lice.
For ducklings just Matched a mess Of
one part chopped hard boiled eggs and
two parts dry bread crumbs, moistened
with good milk and well mixed TO-
gether, lisa good food for a few days.
Edward Atkinson says: The bro
duct OF the egg mines is greater than
the product of the iron furnace; is
about twice the value of the wool pro-
duct, and three or four times that of
the output of silver.

HORTIOULTURE
HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

HORTICULTURAL IAN
Plant berries in your new ground.
Keep your fruit trees well trimmed
Make quality rather than quantity
the principal aim.
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves.
Grapes thrive best in well cultrVa6ed
and well drained land.
Cherry trees must be grated early
If good results are expected.
Trees with bruised or mangled roots
or tops should be cut down.
Having the orchard trimmed up
keeps the trees bearing well.
Annual pruning largely avoids the
necessity for removing large limbs.
No fruit repays judicious pruning
and trimming better than the pear.
Choose young, thrifty trees, with
good roots and straight, clean tops.
By stirring the soil after every rain
the weeds will be more easily destroyed.
Keep your grown trees thrifty and in
good condition as well as plant young
ones.
1t is not a bad plan to plant trees
along the roadside the whole length Of
the farm.
In setting out a tree, ave some of
the top soil, especially to put around
the roots.
Nectarines and apricots can be grown
anywhere that the peach or prune will
thrive well.
In the spring is the best time oprune
the peach. Cut back one half of the
new growth of wood.
Mulching prevents the early flow OF
SAP BY presenting the ground fr9N
warming up too soon.
Either red clover alone oEcbeVer and
orchard grass is best to be used in seed
ing down the orchard.
The peach and plum are nearly
enough related to be budded o.
grated on each other.
The best plan with cherries is to PLAN
enough trees to supply the family and
the birds. Who would begrudge the
birds all the cherries they can eat4
Never plant q block of one variety Of
any fruit tree for good results mix the
varieties. Cross polarization is best
and some sorts are barren otherwise.
find it just az easy to raise good
sized peaches as small ones. We de
pend largely on pruning and try not tc
leave too many fruit buds or too much
wood. As peaches only grow on the
new wood, it is necessary to prune
heavily, especially on old trees, "a
stimulate growth of new wood. Ny
trees are five years old. They yielded
about eight tons per acre last year and
six tons the year before. Last winter
1 cut them heavily. I cut out many
limbs from two to three inches in diam
eter, besides thinning out the laterall
and cutting back heavily all that l left.
As a result 1 am forcing out new
growths in the body Of the tree, low
down where I want it, which will bear
fruit next year.
