Rabbit Traps.

One of the incidents and expenses OF
orcharding on a large scale not like
" to be thought of by the casual OBJ
server is the constant warfare which it
is necessary to wage on the rabbits SO
likely to work great destruction to
young apple trees. This is illustrated
by the operations Of Wellhouse & Son,
of Topeka, Kan, who are recognized as
the Apple Kings, as reported by Secre-
tary F. d. Coburn of the State Board OF
Agriculture. For their orchard in
Usage county they used carload OF
LUMBER in the construction of LOO rab-
bit traps; for their three orchards in
Leavenworth county they have l,6vu
traps, and in Miami county orchard
400 traps. These consist of box ~
inches long, made of ordinary .6-inch
lumber, l inch thick. closed at one end,
and with an Misunderstanding wire gate
in the other end, which is shut by con-
tact of the rabbit with a trigger after
he has fairly entered. About four feet
of lumber and four feet of No. IL gal
vanized iron wire are consumed in the
making Of each trap, which costs, COM
plete, from 121s to Is cents. Chis trap,
as now constructed, is considered we'll
nigh perfect, cost and efficiency consid-
cred, and is the result of twenty years
of experimentation in making traps,
and studying the nature and habits OF
the rabbits. In this connection the
word rabbit applies only to the ordin-
airy cotton-tail and not to the larger
jack-rabbit. which the Messrs. Well
house say is not especially troublesome
to the apple trees.

Value of Cultivation.

One of the most important things in
the growing of fruit is good thorough
cultivation. If were to name only one
thing essential to fruit growing, l
would say that one thing was thorough
cultivation. For instance in fruit
trees. We all think that when the
spring sunshine comes. the fruit tree
Is all ready to send forth blossoms, and
1t the temperature land weather are
suitable, we will have a crop of fruit.
Now the fruit grower knows that the
fruit buds are not developed during the
winter. nor during the spring, but de-
veloped the season before. and If you
are going to have fruit the coming year,
you must have prepared the foundation
for it last year. Essential to the de-
velopment Of fruit buds is good thor
ough cultivation. II you have good Gull
tivatiop you have good foliage; II you
have good foliage at the base Of every
healthy leaf you will have bud, and
IL the conditions are right, proper
percentage Of those buds will be de-
veloped into fruit buds and there will be
stored up plant food not only SUFFICIENT
to develop those buds into fruit buds,
but to make them so strong that the
northeast winds will not destroy their
vitality to such an extent that. they
will drop from the tree. When see

Dyspepsia Il one Of the most prevalent of

diseases are more painful 10 the individual

Terracing Land-A Suggestion.

Prof. C. NJ. Conner of Clemson Ag-
ricultural College, s. c., writing in
Colman's Rural World, says: AS one
travels through that section Of the
country east Of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, known as the Piedmont section,
he sees hillsides protected from wash
ing by terraces. The terrace prevents
the water from collecting in large bod
les and washing bitches. The water is
let down the hill more slowly. and a
large per cent soaks into the soil. The
effect of this method is readily seen
during the dry season, the crops do no..
suffer so badly as they do on hillsides
not terraced. It seems to me that this
method might be Of some value to the
western farmer who keeps large part
of his farm in grass, because the
ground would hold moisture better
during the dry season; and during the
heavy showers the water would not
flow off so rapidly-more Of it would
be held for the use of the plants. In
fact, it might increase the corn crop in
the same way, but it would require a
change in the system of farming to do
this. The rows of corn and cotton are
run with the terrace, and as the ter
races are of unequal width it necessi-
tates large number of point" rows.
These point rows are easily cultivated
with the one-horse plows used in that
section, but where two-horse cultiva-
tors are used the point rows would be
Objectionable. This method also ne
cessitates planting the crops in drills,
which, as every one knows. requires
more or less hoeing

have had in the past, in the month Of
May we have sometimes had . storm

tender, were whipped about by the
breezes until the foliage was so bruised

any fruit upon that side of the tree the

effect as lack of cultivation. II you
