THE FARMING WORLD.
POULTRY IN ORCHARDS.
Fowls Do Good Service in Two Very
Distinct WAYS. -

Fowls Do Good Service in Two Very
Distinct Ways.
Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting on
a report of the Rhode Island experiment.
station regarding the value of fowlF to
orchards, says: For many years have
advocated the introduction of poultry
into apple orchards, maintaining that
they do good service. in two very dis
tinct modes-frst, by manuring the
ground, and, secondly, by the destruc-
ton of insects and grubs that hiber-
nate in the soil.
The apple maggot appears to be ex-
tending in America, attacking the favor
lite Baldwin, which is so we'll known
as being imported largely into this
country, and rendering it entirely un-
fit for use, but the spraying the trees
with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green
has appeared to prevent all serious at
lacks of this insect.
In the mature state this insect is
fly, which deposits it's eggs in the pulp
of the apple beneath the skin. The
young maggots grow within the fruit,
which they render worthless, and when
mature emerge from the apple and go
into the ground, lying in the pupa state
beneath the surface soil among the
grass roots. Samples of the earth, six
inches square, were taken, and the num-
Der of maggots under the trees varied,
according to the size, from 1000 to more
than $4,000 under each tree; the pupae
somewhat resembling kernels of wheat.
Now comes the point which was partic-
r:larly interesting to me. The expert
ment was tried as to whether poultry,
if confined to a small range and encour-
aged to scratch, would destroy these
pupae. A large movable wire fence was
placed about tree, whose fruit had
been destroyed by insects. One side OF
the fence was raised and 30 hens were
called into the Enclosure. The fence was
let down and they were confined to the
space around the tree. AS soon as they
had eaten the corn they naturally be-
gan to scratch for pupae, and in the
| course of three or four days it was
found that the latter had disappeared.
AS these insects remain in the pupae
state from the fall of the apple to the
following spring, when they appear, it
may be expected that next year the
number of flies breeding from the APP
pie maggot will be greatly diminished
in the localities where this plan is fol-
lowed.
From personal experience, extending
over many years, I can speak positively
u
chickens free range in apple orchards.
They not only manure the soil and de-
stroy all insects harboring in it, but
they find, for some weeks, Il consider
able proportion of their own food-the
windfalls, which they ,devour greedily,
with any grubs they may contain.

Loads and Roads IN Europe, and In
the United States.
An American farmer visiting France
and Germany will certainly be inter
ested, and perhaps somewhat amazed,
to see the average country highways as
there existing broad, smooth road
ways, splendidly surfaced with stone,
suitable for heavy traffic in all kinds of
weather, and generally lined on both
sides with tall, stately trees, shading
the highway like 9 park driveway. He
would wonder at the money which had
been spent upon them. With solid
stone roadway, on which an ordinary
wagon tire would make no impression,
it is not to be wondered ut that three
and four tons of produce should be
loaded upon an ordinary farm wagon,
which is there built with tires four or
six inches wide. A French load of hay,
approaching our American farmer
from a distance, would bring to his
mind vision as of moving hay stack

tween the ordinary load of hay as there

Origin of Potato Bugs.

The Colorado potato beetle receives
it's common name from the fact that it's
native home was at the eastern base of
the Rocky mountains, where it fed up
on species of wild potatoes quite COM
mon to this region, known as the Sand
bur (Solanum rostratum). 1t was COL
lected there and described by Thomas
Say in 1924. It was first mentioned as
an injurious insect in 1889 when some
of the early settlers of western Nebras-
ka reported it feeding in large num-
bers upon the Irish potato. We thus
see that the species changed it's food
from wild to cultivated plant, as has
been the case with many of our injur-
ious insects.-Farmers' Review.

But Pleasantly
hauled to market and the load he is
accustomed to see among his American
neighbors.
Contrast such system of roads with
those of our country, with which all OF
us dwelling in rural community are
so familiar. The law lays out high
way 66 feet wide, but it is rare that
more than 20 feet of this ground are
appropriated for highway purposes
proper. The Highway" such as it is,
is rough and uneven, and the ordinary
wagon passing over it travels through
an inch or two inches of dust in dry
weather and through three or four
inches of bog, very frequently, after a
rain of no unusual severity. This is
the road on the level. Where hill ex-
lists conditions are even worse, for the
action of rain and snow washes away
the soil at the top of the hill, leaving
the surface covered with the toughest
of gravel, and transforming the road"
at the foot of the hill into what, after
a shower, is veritable quagmire.
What wonder, then, that the average
wagon load as we see it in the United
States is so entirely different thing
from that seen abroad! Travel over a
road of this kind is necessarily slow
with any kind of load and as the dis
lance from the farm to the market is
greater by far than in France and Ger
many, the farmer reduces the weight of
his load, that his team may make some
respectable progress without being
worn out during. the first few miles of
the trip. Reducing his loads, the farm
er's trips are multiplied in number, and
the result of it is that it requires three
or four times as long to market his crop
highways.
The movement for good roads is con-
tinually and rapidly growing. Every
thinking farmer who has become ia
miliar with the publications of the de-
partment of agriculture becomes eat
once an advocate of better highways
and an advocate of better methods in
building them. The American people
have brought their system of water
transportation to high state of perfec-
ton and we are the possessors of sys-
TEN of railroads which is unequaled by
that of any other nation in the world.
1t now looks as if the American people
were seriously turning their attention
to the common country road, and it is
safe to assume that, once the movement
for better highways is led along definite
lines, we shall, before many years, have
a system of country roads equal in every
way to our water and railway trans
portation facilities. Cycling

He is a young physician, who has been in

HINTS FOR DAlRYMEN.

Taste decides the merit of butter.
Color is subservient to taste in butter.
Quality is of more Importance than
quantity.
Bad water will make impure, I'M
wholesome milk.
It is uncleanly to wet the hands while
milking, and should always be avoided.
To improve the milking qualities of
dairy herd use bulls only from the
best mixers.
The chief advantage of the creamery
system is cheapness of product from the
saving of labor.
Dairy heifers should always be
handled Familiarity from the first and
there will be no trouble.
No dairyman can make uniformly
good butter unless his cows are fed lib
orally with wholesome food.
Dairying has one advantage in that it's
products are always in the line of food
and hence always in demand.
Propermanagement of the dairy gives
the farmer a continuous income, some
| thing he does not have with most lines
of farming.
If the air is warmer than the cream,
the purity of the cream and the fine
favor of the butter will be impaired by
exposure to it.
After cream becomes sour the more
| ripening given it the more it depre-
| GATES, and the sooner it is skinned and
| churned the better.
Feeding and general care and man
agement have as much to do with in
creasing the product of the cows as
breeding or blood.
The milk cans, pals and other vessels
should be kept clean by first washing
in tepid water and then scalding thor
