MISTAKES IN FEEDING.
The Nervous Cow Usually Gives the
Most MIX and Likewise Re.
Iuires the Best Food.

1t is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One in
clined to go to fat makes an excellent
beef cow, but relatively poor mixer.
AS the nervous cow is apt to be smaller
in proportion than q large, fat, beef
making COW, the idea gains some head
way that she requires less food. In
deed, there is a tendency in some quar-
tiers to reason that a cow needs food
in proportion to her size; that is.
large COW requires more than small
one. This is an error of most pro-
nounced order. 1t is nervous energy
that absorbs and uses up food, and it
requires more to feed such nature
than it does one of a phlegmatic dispo-
sition. If anything the opposite to
what is true in general practice should
be observed. More rich and highly con-
centrated food should be given to the
small mixer than to the large beef
maker. The good mixer, if her di-
gestion is good, can change more of
her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat. A
good deal of this food that is given
to the mixer is converted directly into
milk, and is thus more profitable than
when fed to the beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that Of the
heavy beef-making animals. A pillow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high-strung race horse. Many dairy
men Go not appreciate this thorough
ly, either in their feeding or caring
for good mich cows. AS the whole
value of the animals products depends
very closely upon the condition of her
digestion, study should be made con-
stantly of the cows health. In Il nor
NAL condition she can take great
amount of food and convert it directly
into milk. This food should be given
with the best possible caution. so that
it will not mi ure the health of the
animal. Give all to the cow that she
will eat up clean is a good rule to go
by, but if her appetite declines there
is something wrong with her digestion
that needs instant attention. Very fire.
quently this cause is so simple that one
overlooks it. In nervous cow a sud-
den fright, undue excitement or run
ming in the field, or anything that will
upset the nerves, may cause the flow
of milk to stop temporarily, and upset
the digestion so that the full quantity
OF milk will not be given for weeks.
1t is to guard against such slight acct

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Lime and ashes help to secure good
development of roots.
With all kinds of fruit appearance is
a great factor in selling.
Fruit that is badly injured, poor and
watery, will not keep well under any
circumstances.
In orchard planting select with a
view to good bearing, good quality and
good marketing.
The red raspberries are propagated
by suckers, the surplus of which must
be destroyed, the same as weeds
Plants that propagate from suckers
should always be planted where the
grower can cultivate all around them.
Use raspberry tips from young plants
in propagating, rather than from old
ones. They will produce thriftier
plants.
Onions should be harvested as soon
as the tops die down. Spread them out
under shelter where there is good
ventilation.
Probably the best remedy for the
strawberry leaf roller is to NOW the
tops of the plants and then burn.-St.
Louis Republic.

Timothy rs n Dairy Feed.

No dairyman, alive to his interests
has any business to feed timothy hay
to his dairy cows. This hay has the
highest market value and about the
poorest feeding value of any hay upon
the market. So let the horseman have
the timothy and the dairyman the
clover and rowen hays. Suppose a
dairyman has produced lot of timothy
hay upon his own farm; there is no
reason at all why he should feed the
same to his cows. Better far to sell this
timothy for its market value as horse
hay and buy clover hay with the pro-
ceeds for the cows. This practice will
result in big saving to any dairyman.

USE FOR GRAVEL BANKS.
How Many n Poor Country Road
Could BE Improved at Merely
Nominal Expense.

slope deferred maketh the heart
sick" Everybody knows that the we'll
made macadam road is a ':thing of beau
ty' and, likewise, "a joy forever" On
the main highways and principal thor
oIghfares OF the land no other kind of
material should be considered, unless
something better shall be discovered.
At the present time macadam is the
best, and the best is none too good.
But there are miles and miles of
highways that no one can hope will be
macadamiZed fOr-who can say how
many years? They are the quiet, I'M
frequented roads which lead off the
main highways and happily meander
through ideal pastoral neighborhoods.
Their charm lies in the fact that they
are not big, busy thoroughfares. Such
as these are ideal paths until it hap
pens to rain or they become filled with
a superiority of dust.
About half the time these otherwise
lovely ways are not fit to be Travelled.
And yet during all their seasons of dis
agreeableness, there are hills of gravel
lying within easy reach of their worst
spots. Or there are banks of clay,
which, when burned, would make ex
ccllent ballast.
The point is that people in rural To-
calities where the building of macadam
roads is remote possibility should at
once make thevery best use of the means
and materials at hand. Town meetings
should be called, committees appointed
to study the best and most available
materials to use, and some substantial
road work should be done this year.
Don't let good gravel banks stand I'M

them. A well-drained road and we'll

IT ENDANGERs TREES.
San Scnld Entails Greater Loss on
Fruit Growers Than Fungi or
Other Parasites.

In some parts of the country sun
Acald is one of the most important fac
tors in growing fruit trees. Especial
ly is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sunburn-
ing controls the whole practice of Guilt
walton and pruning. In that country
the trees are headed low, even down to
within Il foot or six inches of the
ground, in order to protect the trunks.
At the same time any considerable
pruning in the tops is avoided, because
it would expose the larger branches to
thy deadly sun scald. This difficulty
~ less frequently met in the northeast
ern states, bnt the writer has lately
visited an orchard as far north as Can

ada and New England line, where near
" so per cent. of the trees We're ruined
by this trouble. They were pruned too
high, with heads six, seven and eight
feet from the ground.
Sun sc;lld is usually worst on apples
and pears, but it may appear on almost
any tree. The accompanying illustra-
ton is from Il tree of Downer's late red
cherry growing Tor dying) in Mary
land. When the damage is as OLE as
this, where it has been accommodating
for several years, it is doubtful if any
remedy can be applied, though one can
see in the photograph how persistently
this tree has tried to heal over the
wound. When taken in the early
stages, sun scald may be cured by pro-
tccting the trunk with boards, papers,
straw or some similar material. At
the same time, the scaly, burned parts
should be cleaned away, and some sort
of wax may be applied. The best
treatment for sun scald, however, is to
avoid it.
Sun burns IRE usually only the be-
ginning of other serious troubles. Bor-
ers commonly follow closely after.
Bacteria and molds gain access, and
cause increased damage to wood and
bark, and the rain and sun check and
crack the exposed tissues, to their great
and permanent detriment. 1t is doubt
less a fact that sun scald is more i'm
portant enemy OF fruit trees than many
of the fungi that have been extensive
ly studied and elaborately discussed in
recent books and bulletins.-F. A.
