Trees Gnawed by Mice or Rabbits.
If the portion Of the tree from which
the bark has been eaten is at once
covered with grating wax, fhealing
will usually take place and the tree
live. Of course, if the exposed wood
is allowed to become dry this surface
must be bridged over with scions, SO
that the circulation may be renewed.
To make a suitable wax for this prr-
pose, take five or six parts of resin
and two parts of beeswax. Melt this
and while hot add one part of tallow.
Try coat of this on a greA stick, ex-
pose five minutes to the bold air or
water. If it is too har3and cracks
easily, add a little morStallow. It
must not be so soft that when warm
spring weather comes it will run off
the wood. If beeswax cannot be
readily obtained, use only resin and
tallow, in which case a greater pro-
portion of tallow is required. This,
however, is not as good as when bees
wax is a part Of the mixture.
To apply this wax, wind about n
end of q small stick, a strip of strong
muslin two inches wide. Let part of
this extend beyond the stick and then
tie the whole thing firmly to it with
Irvine. This is used as a swab. Fill
an old tin pail t~hree-fourths full Of
ashes. On the top Of the ashes place
a layer of live wood Goals, and on
these Goals a dish of wax. You are
now ready to e. to work. The Goals
will keep the wax warm.
With the swab put a good coat of
wax over all the exposed tissue. Be
careful that it is not hot enough to
burn the wood and tissues on the bark
of the small trees. If the denuded
surface is large, after waxing wind a
thick strip Of old tender muslin about
the tree in spiral form. Then use a
little wax to fasten the end. This is
an additional guard against the crack
ing of the wax or Of its running off
during warm weather. The impor-
tant thing with this treatment is to
apply the wax at once and do not de-
lay until the wood has in any way be-
come dry, for then the sap cannot
ascend and death will finally result

I have been feeding sunAowers as
fodder and ensilage for the past seven
years, having found by accident that
they were as good for milk Dr. butter
as corn. I cultivate the same as corn,
except I give much more hen manure.
I cut when the seed reaches the dough
state, and run all through the ensi-
tage cutter. I have fed when newly
cut with good results in helping out
short pasturage.
The early frosts Of autumn do not
hurt sunfowers, hence they are very
valuable as a second crop, and by
planting late in the fall they will come
on rapidly in spring, giving an early
summer cutting. I have had plants II
feet high when corn was just coming
up. They do we'll on any corn land

Profitable Popltry.

Some interesting data have been
brought out in a recent bulletin from
the Utah Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton.
Among the conclusions arrived at
we're these: The profit in feeding young
hens was six times greater than in
feeding old hens; that with intelligent
care and feeding a Leghorn pullet
would produce 200 eggs per year; that
no advantage was discovered in cross
ing the Brahma and Leghorn.
IFregard to the matter of exercise
it was found hal hens that had the
opportunity to get adequate exercise
consumed more food and really pro-
duced eggs at a less cost. In one trial
pen Of hens it was found that sixty
two cents worth of feed producedE1.S SO
worth OF fowl, while in some other
cases the outlay for feed was nearly as
great as the results in fowl.

Warmth of Drained Soil.

It used always to be thought that
sandy soil vas best for gardens, be-
cause it warmed up so early in the
spring. But this is mainly due to the
fact that the sandy land is naturally
underdrained, as water easily and
quickly sinks through it. But this
very fact %insures that the sandy soil
shall never be very retentive Of vege-
table matter. So soon as it is ma
nured, either with stable manure or
green vegetable matter, the air with
which sandy soil is filled from early
spring until fall, burns out all the
carbon and leaves pure sand. A nat
urally retentive soil, which means
some clay in its composition, retains
vegetable mould much better and
makes a really better garden ground
than does the sand. But if it is wet in
spring. it must be underdrained.
Then such soil freezes deeply, which
expands it, causing it to hold more
air and to warm up more quickly.
Such drained soils will stand drought
much better than sandy soils, and
drought in late summer is the garden
er's most dreaded evil. AS under
draining becomes more general, the
heavy drained soil will increase in
favor for gardens.
