! FOR FARM and GARDEN.
Pench Ncllows.

The symptoms of the destructive
contagious disease known as "vellows"
in peaches are stated thus by the Ohio
station.
Premature ripening by from one to
six weeks, of fruit which is high col
ored and spotted and has the flesh
marked with red.
Premature development of winter
buds in the formation of short shoots
or clusters of narrow, elongated leaves.
This growth is very conspicuous where
the old leaves have fallen from the
present years growth.
Growth of shoots from adventurous
buds on the trunk and larger branches
of the affected trees.
For the present season general yell
low color of the trees, with peculiar
backward folding of the leaves and
general premature dropping of the
foliage.
The remedy is the prompt removal
of affected trees, root aud branch, and
burning them rs near as possible to
the point of removal. Dragging the
affected trees through the orchard is
not advisable. e.-Connecticut Farmer.

There Is beautiful bird called the
rosy gull, very few specimens of which
exist in any museum. and whose entire
life is spent In the immediate neigh
borhood of the eternal ice that sur
rounds the north pole. A paper de-
scribing these curious birds was read
Mt the recent meeting of the American
Association in Boston by Mr.. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance of
the ice towards the south as winter
comes on, keeping near the loose edge
of the floating pack ice, and then re-
treat with 1t toward the north when
the summer sun begins to rise high
upon the Arctic circle. The bird Is
small and of a deep rose color, whereas
all other gulls are white.

The hardest thing to learn in run
ming an incubator found was how
and when to apply moisture. 1t re-
guires careful judgment on the part
OF the operator. The amount and
time of application depend upon the
kind of machine used and the place il
is used in.
Nature provided the egg with an
over amount of water so that too much
would not be evaporated from it dur
ing the time of incubation and destroy
the developing embryo. If too much
or too little of the moisture is evap-
Grated it will be detrimental to the
chick.
In some machines the use of moist
ure Is needed more than in others
because the ventilation is more rapid
in some than in others. If the ex-
change of air in the egg chamber is
carried on rapidly it takes moisture
from the eggs rapidly and vice versa.
If not enough moisture is taken from
the egg the chick will be too large to
turn in the shell and therefore dies
when ready to pick its way out.
l found that l had been using too
much moisture SO l tried a hatch
without any until the last two days.
My success was better than before.
There are several ways of applying
moisture. One is by sprinkling the
eggs at certain times, another is to
place pans in the incubator with warm
water in them, and another is to put
a dampened sponge III dish in the
egg chamber. Some machines are so
built that all air that passes into the
egg chamber must pass over the water
placed for that purpose. l never
used that kind, but l believe it is a
good way.
My rule is to not use any moisture
until the air space of the egg occupies
about one-third of it. Then supply
enough to prevent the chicks from
losing any more. Then when the
chicks begin TO hatch supply all that
l can so that the membrane of the
egg shells will not become dry and
tough. am always careful not TO open
the incubator until the hatch is over, for
sudden draught will easily chill the
young chick and it dies in the SHE'LL

When COW has thoroughly formed
the habit of kicking when some one
approaches to milk her she had best
be fattened and turned over to the
butcher. 1t seems pity too, for il is
always the best milking COW that ac-
quires this habit. 1t comes from the
fact that the best milker has always,
before her bag is MIXED dry. n very
full tension in it, which is painful if
not extremely carefully handled.
Sometimes the COW is injured by the
calf butting the udder, as instinct
teaches it to do to make milk come
faster. A good careful millSer for the
tn, young heifer is therefore better
than the calf for starting the milk,
though rhe calf should be beside the
COW at the time, SO MS to prevent her
from kicking. 1t is astonishing how
much butting the COW will stand SO
long as it is done by her own calf.
The profit from any kicking COW is
never great enough TO compensate for
the injury such an one may do to
those who have to be about them.
Usually, too, if left to hired help the
kicking COW arouses anger, which is
apt to be visited on other animals so
that soon others will be spoiled as the
original kicking COW had been. Pre-
venting the kicking habit by uniform
kindness is better than trying to cure

Eattcning Home Grown Lambs.

In city markets there is frequently
some difficulty in disposing of very
fat sheep, buyers contending that they
are too fat and even going so far rs to
say that high degree of finish cannot
be produced in sheep without over
loading them with tallow. The Min
nesota experiment station holds that
this is not true, and inaugurated an
experiment to demonstrate that the
most perfect finish can be made with
out undue fattening, provided the
foods are suitably chosen, suitably
blended and suitably fed.
With this in view II lot of lambs
were selected, all of which had been
bred upon the farm. They were kept
upon pastures other than grass, such
as winter rye, peas and oats, corn,
sorghum, rape and cabbage. While
they were pastured in this way, they
were not fed grain. They were late
March lambs. The sires were pure
bred Dorsets and the dams common
grades with sprinkling of Merino
blood As rule they were of good
form, but not of the highest blocky
type. They were fed in a shed and
had access to yard at will. Their
food consisted of oats, bran, barley
and oil cake in the proportion of three
parts oats, three of bran, three of bar.
ley, aud one of OIL cake, by weight.
Hay and roots were fed freely, the
roots consisting of carrots and man.
gels. The lambs were given what
they would eat up clean of grain and
feed and a fairly liberal supply of
roots
During the 112 days of the expert.
ment the average amount of food con-
sumed per day was as follows: Grain
Ii pounds. hay 90 pound, roots
| 81, or total of about pounds.
The feed was charged as follows:
Bran S6. 80, oil cake Ii cents, corn 1S
cents, barley 16 cents, oats IL cents,
native hay 3 cents, roots 4 IL cents
per busheL The average increase per
animal per month was IL pounds.
These were excellent gains for so long
period; and notwithstanding the
length of the feeding period the gains
were as good at the closing portion as
ut any other time. The cost per 100
pounds of increase was S3.41 The
lambs were sold in the St Paul and
Minnesota markets for So per 100
pounds, shrunk weight. The meat
was tested, and the unanimous ver-
dict of competent judges was that it
was of the highest quality. The pro-
portion of lean to fat was unusually
large aud the blending of fat and lean
was perfect. The meat was as tender
and juicy as that of spring lambs.
The value of each lamb when the ex-
pertinent began was 50. Is, and when
it was closed S7.0S, or in other words,
the value had been more than doubled
during the feeding period. The net
profit of $2. 43 per lamb was of course
unusual. Feed during 1897 when
this test was made was very cheap
and it is doubtful whether this result
can be equalled again, but the fact
remains that home grown sheep can
be well fattened andproduce the high
est class of meat.-New England
