In three or four weeks after a lamb
is put into the feed lot it will begin to
show the effect of good feeding. Some
gain will be going on during thistime
on the inside, but it will not show on
the outside. The fattening process
begins internally, and the first indi-
cation of gain externally will be found
at the tail. The stages of the dss
velopment will then be observed at
the middle OF the back, the neck, the
flank, the purse andthe breast. Some
times lambs do not fatten at all these
points with the same evenness, and in
order to tell when a lamb is fat, it is
better to examine all these locations.
But different people have different
ways OF examination. If a lamb is fat
it will have n groove running from
the tail along the backbone to the
shoulders. If the hind quarters are
well developed, the lamb will pass,
whatever effects it may have; but I'M
fortunately most lambs do not develop
well there.

Forest Trees From Seed.


The propagation of forest trees
either for decorative plants, wind
breaks or forests is a comparatively
slow process, according to Bulletin 80
of the Virginia experiment station.
The horticulturists of that station
have been making extended tests along
these lines and find that the seeds of
such trees as the silver maple and
other species which ripeu seed early
should be gathered and sown at once.
They can be planted in the same man
ner and grow as rapidlyas peas. Seeds
which ripen late in the fall should be
sown in autumn and then taken up
and planted in spring. Nuts like wal
nuts can be planted several bushels in
q heap and then taken up and planted
in rows in spring with perfect success.
1t is usually practical to plant nut
seeds where the trees are to stand II
nothing interferes with their growth
thereafter. On rich soil they grow
with great r%apidity.
All forest tree seedlings should be
grown on a mellow soil, so as to en-
courage the development of strong
root systems. They should be trans
planted into nursery rows at the end
Of the first or second year. Slow
growing plants like oaks should re-
main two years in seeding beds, while
the more rapid growing varieties
should be planted when only a year
old. Most forest trees do best when
set out from five to eight feet tall.
The tulip poplar tree does very well
if not permitted to stand in the nars-
cry too long. At the end of the first
year it should he transplanted to its
permanent location. The following
list of trees arc grown with compare
tive ease from seed; Black walnut, bur
oak, blackberry, honey locust, boxel-
der, green ash and pecan.

Pack Your Poultry Carefully.

There is one thing many shippers of
poultry do not deem important and
that is putting their stock on the mar
ket in an attractive condition both as
- dressing and packing. If they
would only study demands of trade
more carefully aud follow the advice
CT their selling agents it woul9 be bet
ter for them.
Usually nearly all tho poultry is
shipped by old experienced men and
it is generally packed in the best pos
sible manner, but around holiday
times, the shippers who do not comply
with demands of trade, do not fare as
well as those who do. Poultry of
rather inferior quality is frequently
sold at a premium, just because it was
put up in nm attractive manner. A
dealer says "a buyer will come into
our store and want to look at a few
barrels of poultry and you can rest as
surred that the most attractive appear
ing ones are those he picks out, They
will not infreQuently overlook quality
for appearance. We urge our ship
pers to use the utmost care in prepar-
ing their poultry for market; some of
them heed what we say, while Others

they always have done, when they

The egg specially is particularly de-
sirable for farmers living at a distance
from market. The product is highly
concentrated and a big basket of eggs
at some periods in the year will bring
almost as much as a load Of hay and
is much more easily taken to town.
An advantage over retail milk raising
is that the product need not be taken
