Breeding ewes have not only sto
keep mp their own animal heat and
energy and provide for the growing
fGt us within them, but they have also
to make growth of wool on their own
bodies. That they do not always get
enough OF the right kind of food for
all these purposes is shown by the
feet that the wool from ewes is less
valuable than that from an equal
weight of wool from wethers or ewes
that are not bred. Possibly some
weakness of the fiber is inevitable in
that which is produced whilelewes are
dropping their Young, whcns there is
naturally more or less fever. But the
wool may be made much better If tho
ewes arc given succulent food to- keep
their digestion good and bran mashes,
which are just what are needed. not
OILY for making the wool, but also to
produce . thrifty anil. vigorous lamb,
witch is also born with more or less
woody covering when It's dam must
furnish from the food given her.

Fruit Growing on Hin Lands.

Some of the best fruit in all SECTIONS
OF the country comes from the hill
districts, where both climatic condi-
tons and soil seem to promote GER
tainty of crop and fine quality of
fruit. Hills bordering running water
have rich surface soil, with porous
subsoil resting on limo rocks that are
slowly disintegrating, and natural
drainage. But location, however
good, is not sufficient. Orcharding
requires diligent, patient work,
knowledge of when, why and how to
spray, and how to secure protection
from enemies. Never allow trees to
bear fully. Thinning is one Of the
post possible practices, thereby get
ting less fruit, but of far better grade.

Oats For Young Animals.

There are two reasons why oats are
nm excellent feed for young and grow
ing stock. They have enough bulk
because of their chat, SO that grain in
moderate amounts will not heat or
cake in the stomach, and the charac-
ter OF the grain supplies just the nu-
triment required for growing animals.

New Corn Product ms Horse Feed.


In some tests made recently at tho
Maryland experiment station to de-
termine the value of cornstalks from
which the pith had been removed. it
YVES shown that this fodder fed to
horses as n substitute for hay was
eaten with n relish after the animals
became accustomed to it and was
better digestel than timothy hay.
After tho pith has been removed from
the cornstGlk what remains is ground
fine. The blades aud husks may be
included and they may not. Horses
In the habit of consuming mixed feeds
take more readily to this ration than
those previously receiving nothing but
whole feeds. Horses which ate this

that the feed is good for horses and

Green manuring has been practised
for centuries In Europe and for some
years in our Northern States, and
valuable results have accrued from
such course. But for the last few
years farmers and scientific men have
diiiered upon the plans of turning
under these green crops.
Chr best Southern farmers are al
most unanimous in preferring to turn
under the crops when dry than when
green. Necessity may have Mt first
brought about the plan of turning
under the crops after they had become
matured or dry, md this necessity
mny have been the means of demon
strating that it was more profitable so
to do.
The mysteries of Natures labora-
tory stored in the soil are hard to un-
derstand i'll plant life. The Same soil
Will produce e root that is nutritious
and healthful to man and beast, and
ut the same time one that is poisonous
to both. You may graft sour apple
on asweet stock, and the same tree
VIII produce both sweet and sour APP
pies. So it is with the changes that
take place in the soil in turning under
green and dry substances.
The advocates of turning under our
crops when dry claim that Tire fermon-
tation that takes place when green
crops arc turned under is different
from that of tho dry substances; that
the green crops sour the land, and un-
less limo is used it is IN injury and
not benefit to some.
Then the crops are green in August,
and they claim that lands turned up
and exposed to the hot sun are in
jured, This is true. as cotton crop
which requires lato ploughing and
close culture is more injurious to our
lands than a corn crop. Some of our
best farmers report an actual injury in
yield of crops where COW peas were
turned under green in August.
But all agree that peas sown In land
md turned under late in the fall, when
dry, Go benefit the lands.-B. d.
