The Gray Wolf and Its Destruction OF
Prairie Herds.

The Gray Wolf and Its Destruction OF
Prairie Herds.
One of the greatest enemies of the
stock ranger on the great prairies is the
gray wolf, known among students of nat
ural history as CAMS latrans. 1t is the
largest wolf that roams the American
continent and is no doubt the most vo-
racious 1t is very tricky in its method
of warfare and never fights or attacks in
the open. 1t preys upon live stock in the
corrals at night, when it is the boldest
in approaching habitations. and Its
usual method of attack is to jump upon
young animals, catch them by the back
and in one snap of the jaw break the
vertibrse
In daylight ON the plains these gray
wolves win follow herd of cattle for
hours generally travelling in pairs or
trios They will pick out victim, such

as an old COW with calf, and gradually
work in between the COW and the herd,
circling her out, as the cowboys call it,
And when far away sufficiently from the
herders they will pounce upon the calf
and kill it in twinkling.
If the COW shows fight, one of the
wolves will slip up behind her and sud
denly spring upon her hook and ham,
string her by soyering the tendon with
one quick snap of the jaws. Then the
COW falls an easy victim The wolves
spring upon her throat, open an artery
with their teeth, and she soon bleeds to
death. State governments offer bounties
for the destruction of wolves and coyotes,
ranchmen pat out poison. set traps and
hunt for them, but they are steadily in
creasing IN all parts of the west and
cost hundreds Ct thousands of dollars
annually in loss CT stock. If any means
could be devised fer the extinction of the
race, it would prove the greatest bless

strip of paper or cloth which has pre-
viously been covered with grating wax.
Some prefer waxed string for this
covering. The gratis should be about 8
inches long. When completed, they
should be tied in bundles and put away,
packed very firmly in sand or light soil,
in cold cellar. a cave is best for this
purpose. Early in the spring they should
be planted in the nursery, about six
inches apart, in rows three feet apart,
setting all but the upper bud of the
scion below the surface of the ground.
It is important to plant the scion deep.
so as to encourage it to throw out roots,
as the trees are then more hardy than
when they depend entirely on the seed
ling root for support. Great care should
be taken TO have the soil very firm and
solid around the base of the root and at
the union.

ME Up the Evergreens.

Tie up your evergreens so that the
snow cannot spread and injure them.
This advice applies to Jews, retinosporas,
arborvit@s and any others growing in a
bush rather than upright single stem
med form like spruce or fir tree, and
comes from Gardening, with these direc-
tions for doing it: You may do this with
piece of lath cord or marline, tying
up the main branches from the inside
that weight of snow cannot break
them down, or take a long piece Of the
same material or hay rope and run it
around on the outside of the bushes
from the bottom to the top. tying in all
the branches from the outside. OF course
in this last named way it is necessary
to run one cord in the opposite direo-
tion, knotting it to the other here and
there to prevent it from slipping.

Ammonia For House Plants.

household ammonia. Pour this ON the
soil of the geranium or other rapid

plication of this kind once or twice a
week will add wonderfully to the growth
and appearance of the plant. 1t is, in
fact, cheap and handy. For a number
of plants, 10 or Is drops to quart of
water is sufficient Twice a week on a
sunny morning is enough, says writer
in The New England Homestead.

Forcing Lily of the Valley.

Florists have lily of the valley on
sale II months in the year. Rural New
Yorker tells that the ''pips, as florists
term the little bulbs, are readily forced,
being merely planted in pure sand, free
ly watered, shaded and kept in high
temperature Twenty to % days of this
treatment bring them into bloom. Sand
is used because they are not expected to
produce roots, merely to force out the
flower through the nutriment stored in
the bulb. Under ordinary conditions,
while the flowers could be produced at
any time during winter previous to the
normal period of blooming, they could
not be produced after that, but the for
lists have obviated this difficulty by put
ting the bulbs into cold storage until
needed, these cold storage roots provid-
ing the summer flowers

The Round silo.

In The New England Homestead it is
told that two brother farmers have sue
ceeded with two round silos. These are
about 10 feet in diameter and SO feet
deep. They are made of one inch hem
lock boards, jointed and set up; they are
hooped with l 4 by one-quarter inch
fat iron welded into hoops of equal
length, put on quite thick and nailed
from the inside to each hoop and clinch-
ed over the hoop. When empty, you
put your hand on top of one of the
slaves. and it will seem as if the thing
would shake to pieces and you can look
through it between each board; when
filled, the moisture swells the boards
and makes them water tight, and they
say it keeps every pound perfectly good,
except on the top, where there will be
some loss, as in every silo

DISK OR CUTTING HARRoWs,

Facts Concerning These Implements.
Faults OF Some Harrows.
The cutting harrows have reduced
the cost of preparing land for seeding
/, very materially. They save the use OF
the breaking pillow to considerable ex-
tent, and leave finer and firmer seed
bed than is often possible after the
ground has been broken Ia the old way.
Soils differ so in texture that no general
rules may be laid down, but n contrib
utor to The Farm and Fireside calls Mt
tention to the fact that these harrows
are far better adapted for use in natural
ly loose than tight soils. though they
are being used in clays oftentimes, to
escape the olods that would result from
breaking the land. In the olays and clay
loans they make a fine surface, giving
the ground very superficial prepara-
tion. and the soil few inches below
the surface is left in bad condition for
good crop results. We may oonfound q
firm seed bed with hard one. While
we do not want one that is very loose,
it should be sufficiently so to permit air
| to enter freely and surplus water to es-
cape The authority quoted adds:
If soil is hard packed, it needs
breaking and then thorough crushing !;
pulverization of the surface of an un-
plowed field by disk harrow is INSULT
oient. Living as do where these har'
rows have been the chief dependence in
preparing land for wheat, am sure
that yields have been lessened in many
cases by the compactness of the seed bed
below the surface. Plants were stunted
and frozen ont when pulverization of
the soil to depth of six inches would
have saved them. These harrows are
all right in their place, but their place
is in ordinarily loose soils and not in
compact clays, where SO many are in
clined to use them to escape olods.
There are numerous styles of cutting
harrows. I do not propose to recon-
mend any particular make, but some
are constructed ON faulty principle.
! AS we know, all draw hard. But some
harrows are much more wearing on a
team than others. Many manufacturers
have made the mistake of attaching the
gang rods to the pole, thus causing a
downward pull on the pole. They un-
dertake to counterfeit this effect by plac-
ing the doubIetrees under the pole and
claim that in this way the weight is
kept off the top of the horses necks. 1t
may be in some cases, but have never
seen harrow constructed in this way
that did not let the weight come on the
| horses necks when turning at a corner,
and this sinks the collars, let's the draft
come on the point of the shoulders, and
the team is not only wearied by the
hard turning, but shoulders are bruised.
The rational way is to have the pole for
guidance only, having it attached to the
harrow independently of the gang rods
and have the doubletrees attached d.
rect to the frame. No weight can then
come ON top of the horses shoulders,
and the hitch is similar to that of a
breaking pillow. The pole should be SO
attached that no tilt of the harrow can
put any weight upon it.

Feed the Manure Pile.

Rural New Yorker advocates feeding
the manure pile. Where the manure is
to be used on fruit farms the advice is
given to always use peck of kainit
and a bushel of ground bone or dissolved
rock to each load of manure. Our opin-
ion is that such feeding will pay on
fruits or vegetables. y

Potato scah.

Notes on experiments for the proven
tion of potato scab come from the Mon
tana station. A tabulated report is given
of the results obtained by using zinc
chloride, zinc sulphate, potassium per-
maAganate, potassium bioarbonate, po-
tassium sulphide and corrosive sublimate
in different strengths of solution and
for different lengths of treatment. The
different compounds in some strength
were somewhat effective in reducing
scab, but tho corrosive sublimate treat
ment, when the seed tubers had been
treated for at least an hour, proved the
most successful treatment.

Tap Rooted Vegetables.

Among radishes, beets and carrots,
there are kinds with long roots pene-
trating the soil deeply, and there are
also the turnip rooted kinds that grow
near the surface. The latter are usually
the earlier, but according to Meehan L
Monthly epicures give preference to the
top rooted kinds because these are con.
sidered more delicate in flavor.

Unproductive BLACK Soils.

The unproductive areas of deep, black
humus soils known as bogus lands
occurring in central and northern In.
diana, and which in many cases ''were
formerly marshes or the bottoms of old
ponds, - showed on chemical examina-
ton none of the characteristics usually
assigned as the cause of unproductive-
ness. Experiments on two farms during
four years indicate that the use of kainit
and straw temporarily improved the
drainage and thus increased the pro-
ductiveness of these soils. A system of
drainage which taps the water bearing
gravel underlying the humus soil and
lowers the water level to at least 40
inches by removing the cause of unpro-
ductiveness insures permanent improve
