Spraying Orchards.

We have been spraying our apple trees
for twelve or more years, and have found
It the easiest cheapest and most expedi-
tious mode Of destroying leaf-eating in
sects.
We have been troubled with tent cater
pillar, canher worm, leaf roller, and hand
maid moth, fall web worm and several
other leaf eaters, and am of the opinion
that II IL had not been for our spraying
machines they would have run us out Of
the apple business.
Our machine consists OF tank Az feet
long, 3A feet wide and Is inches deep.
The sides are 11s or 2-inch pine, and the
top bottom and ends are No. 16 sheet
steel, S1s feet wide and 10 feet long. This
sheet will lap over the top ends and bot
tom, leaving a space about Is inches wide
at back end on top for plank on which
to put the pump and an opening to pour
In the liquids,
The corners Of the sides are rounded a
little and the sheet steel is nailed on to
the sides with No. wire nails; these
nails are about one-fourth inch apart.

the part of the children they will gain
what we who are older have had to study
from books, papers and bulletins. These
bulletins, published by our State expert
mental stations and the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, which are given
to the farmer for the asking, would be
valued more highly and more would they
know and appreciate the great work
being done for the farmer in these de-
partments.
To-day a mans success is too often
measured by his bank account. Perhaps
that is about the only way the world can
judge. If we could only have a greater
insight in the case Of the farmer and see
II his bank account means a soil robbed
Of its fertility and a family lacking the
privileges Of the best things OF this life,
perhaps the balance would show in favor
of poorer man. With children brought
nearer to nature in early life through
our public schools their lives would re-
ceive more broadening influence than
was possible for their parents and they
would estimate more justly what are the
things worth striving for.

Trimming Tree

1t requires some skill and care to prop
erly trim large fruit, forest or ornamental
trees. The limbs should be cut off smooth
and close to the body of the tree, so that
the scar will heal over as quickly as pos
sible. II the stub of the limb is left two
or three inches long 1t will not heal over
but will be likely to result in rotten
spot in the tree which will make trouble
at some future time. Where large limbs
are cut off the scar should have a coat of
paint, to prevent the wood from crack
ing and rotting. Trimming should be
done in the summer or fall when the sap
will not flow from the wounds, which
will then heal over more quickly and the
tree will not be weakened by the loss Of
sap Limbs should be taken out with
reference to balancing the top of the tree
as we'll as improving It's shape.
There Is an old rule to trim in spring
for growth Of wood, and in summer for
production of fruit. The reason Of this
rule is quite apparent. In the spring the
whole energy Of the tree Is aroused for
new life and new growth of wood, and
taking away a portion Of the limbs at
that time forces this new life and new
growth with greater energy into the re-
naming limbs, making the energy and
growth prepared for the many go into
the remaining few, and hence they make
a greater growth than they would with
out the trimming. After the woody
growth is formed or we'll along the energy
Of the tree is turned to the production Of
fruit or seed buds for the primary pur-
pose Of perpetuating and increasing its
species If a portion Of the top is cut
away at this time the energy Of the tree
Is forced into the remaining limbs and
the fruit or seed buds on them are more
perfectly developed.

Poultry Notes.

Feed chickens on clean boards.
Guinea fowls are the best insect exter-
minatOTs.
Fowls must have loose ground to
scratch over.
Warm, cooked food is always an aid
to egg laying.
If the poultry house is Overcrowded
there will be trouble.
An ounce of ground fresh bone daily
Is sufficient for ten hens.
When the hens are laying they require
more food than when they are not.
With all classes of fowls the early
morning feed is the most important.
Because ducks are culmsier than chick
ems they should be kept In separate quar-
ters.
One egg eater will soon ruin whole
flock II allowed to remain at large very
long,
Air-slaked lime scattered everywhere
is cheap and will destroy Lice, gapes and
roup.
The young fowls need food every few
hours. Later on three times day will
answer.
Dampness and lice are great demoral-
izers with young broods of chickens and
turkeys.
One secret in growing large and fine
chickens is to feed often and but little
at time.
If not keeping pure breed of fowls,
be sure to secure pure-bred cocks to cross
on your hens.
At this time clover hay chopped fine
and stepped in warm water makes good
green food for fowls.
The laying of unusually large eggs is
almost a sure indication that the hens
are too fat; lessen the rations and feed
some oats.
Guineas are naturally noisy and create
ar alarm at the approach OF intruders;
their flesh is dark, but possesses q deli
cate flavor.
II you would avoid roup troubles
among your fowls be sure that their
roosting places are dry.

Pruning Grape Vines.

Grape vines should be pruned before
the sap in them begins to run, otherwise
the bleeding will greatly weaken the
vines. ALI useless wood should be cut
away and hast years growth should be
cut back to two or three buds. Only two
or three leading branches should be left
and they should be trained and tied to
supports. Smooth No. galvanized wire
fastened to good substantial posts makes
a good trellis for grape vines. The low
est wire should be about three feet from
the ground, and the top wire four or four
and One-half feet high. Two wires will
answer while the vines are young, but
as they get older 1t will require three
wires to sustain the vines with their crop
OF fruit. The posts should be substantial
and not more than a rod apart, and
email notch should be cut In the edge Of
the post with a square shoulder TO sup
port the wire, for the great weight OF the
vines and fruit will pull out the staples,
hut II the wires are stapled into notches
half Gu inch deep they will not come
down when most needed TO keep the vines
up from the ground An acre Of grapes
when in full bearing will produce four
tons Of fruit, and this, with the weight Of
the vines and foliage make great load
for the supports to carry, and hence they
should be strong and substantial.

Feeding for Meats.

Reducing grass and grain to meat and
then marketing the product in the con-
densed form is a great saving in hauling
the products TO market In the condensed
forms Of meat the farmers get higher
price for the crops which they raise, and
hence they are doubly gamers by selling
in the form of meat rather than as grain
and hay. II takes from six to eight tons
OF feed to make one ton Of meat, and one
ton OF meat Is taken TO market about as
easily as ton of grain, and the meat
generally brings ten or twelve times as
much per pound as the grain, and the
farmer has also a profit from the plant
food which he gets from the fertilizers
produced by feeding the grain and hay
on the farm.

any corner and can be backed into the
pond Of water and loaded easily and
quickly. The tank holds about 1876 gall
Ions Of water and is about as much as q
two-hOrse team can haul comfortably
over soft ground.
We use the common rotary brass pump,
which is attached to the right wheel with
sprOcket gearing, and will throw about
100 gallons Of liquid into the tree tops
while travelling one mile. This we have
found sufficient to spray all the foliage
until the trees are fifteen OF sixteen years
old.
Our trees are jig feet apart in the row
and we drive up one side and down the
other. One man can easily drive the
team and guide the spray.
We have always used London purple,
not because 1t is better than Paris green
or common arsenic, but for the reason
that 1t is lighter and does not require so
much stirring.
We usually use one pound to 100 gal
Ions Of water, adding one to two pounds
Of lime, but in emergencies we have
doubled this strength with good results
and no damage to trees.
We have found that all insects are much
more economically and easily killed while
lutte young.

FeedIng Plants.

Plants are living things. They eat,
drink and breathe. They must have food,
moisture and air. They cannot grow,
much less produce fruit flowers or grain,
without all Of these. The rich earth fur
nishes the food by which they are nOur-
ished, the rains furnish the water for
them to drink, and they breathe in
through their leaves the air around them.
II the ground is not rich enough to fur
nish them food 1t must be supplied In
the form Of fertilizers or the plants can
not flourish. II the rains do not furnish
sufficient moisture II must be supplied by
irrigation or the plants cannot grow. Ma
ture supplies the sunshine which gives
the warmth and the air for the plants
to breathe, and generally a sufficient
amount of moisture, but II the land is
poor or impoverished the farmer must
supply the food for the plants to eat.

Hortlculture In Public schools.

With the study of horticulture in our
public schools the children would have
their eyes opened to nature study at
home. The plants of the school room and
yard which at first attracted their atten-,
tion would lead them to study Of leaves
and buds of other plants. AS the trees
shed their leaves in the fall they would
note how the buds were protected for
winter. The seed in It's growth could be
studied and the effect of different kinds
Of plant food. Then there is the insect
world with its mysteries and wonders,
and the birds, also, that often are the
horticulturlst's best friends; these will
well repay time and thought, Ii boys
realized the value OF our native birds we
might find this knowledge protecting our
feathered friends more thoroughly than
legislation.
Teach our boys and girls the value of
manure. humus and ashes as fertilizers
and how to care for them and our farms
will he the richer. Give them some in
sight into cultivation OF our fruits and
their tables will be the more healthtul
and inviting. Let them understand the
value Of shade trees, especially near the
house and along the public highways,
and our farms will increase In value and
we will have pleasanter homes. Gradu-

BroomcOrn booming.

AT a meeting of the broomcOrn buyers
OF central Illinois, held at Mattoon, Feb
ruary "a, the price of brush was advanced
to $3.50 per ton, an advance OF $50 per
ton in the last four months. These men
own the brush and their figures will likely
prevail. The broomcorn trade has its
center In Chicago, and over half the prod
uct isSraised in the State Of Illinois The
Chicago dealers are Of the opinion that
the raise In price is due to the shortage
In the crop. There Is no danger Of
broomcOrn trust, they say. ]. P. Gross,
one OF the largest dealers In the city,
said recently: THE increase in price Is
greater than Is stated in the dispatch.
During the last four months there has
been an advance Of over 100 per cent.
The increase of price Is due to the short
age In the crop. In former years the price
was 80 small that the farmers found the
crop no longer profitable, and as Conse-
quence there has been a decrease Of 400
per cent In the crop think there will
be further advance Farmers Review.
