Protection of Fruit Trees From Mice.

Farmers care very little for the dep
relations of field mice upon their
grains, but these small rodents some
times do great injury to young fruit
trees in winter. They seldom gnaw
the thick bark Of older trees, but cases
are on record in which young orchard
has been entirely destroyed when
planted near meadow OF level field
frequented by these little marauders.
Coarse wrapping paper or few layers
of newspaper, dipped in kerosene and
tied about the base of u tree, also a
few pieces laid over the nearest roots,
will repel the mice, and at the same
time prevent the raveges of boring
beetles. Field mice, like their cousins,
the house mice, are easily trapped. A
box rat-trap set near their nests and
baited with corn will often catch half
C dozen at once.

an irritation that produces the fatal
Texas fever.
Practical Sheep Husbandry.

See to the sleeps feet and clip the
overgrown hoofs. The sole is to be
trimmed smoothly to avoid the irritat
ing effect of sand or gravel on it.
Be on the lookout for the first indi.
cations Of the parasites which worry
the flock. The first sign of failing
condition is the warning to be needed.
Foot rot in flock Immediately con-
victs the shepherd of neglect and in.
ficts the fine for this delinquency.
We cannot escape this penalty for this
neglect.
The short supply of Western lambs
for feeding is due to two causes, viz:
an unusually short lamb crop in most
of the range States and Territories.
and disposition among ranchmen to
hold the eve lambs to increase their
hocks.
We hear much of the profit of poul-
try, but while hen is making dol.
lar, sheep will make two on the same
allowance of feed. The fleece will
pay all the cost Of the sheep, leaving
the lamb clear profit, and 100 per
cent. of it.
A surplus of feed and fodder should
be secured for the flock Oh the range.
Due provision should be made for
shelter probably to be needed. 1t is
better to be sure OF this than sorry
for neglecting it. No man more than
q shepherd needs to keep his head
level. He must not get too elated by
present good fortune, or become de-
pressed by-and-by by possible
change.
1t is estimated that there are fifty
per cent. more eve lambs in the range
country this year than male lambs, a
fact that may be traceable to the
larger use of young rams and ram
lambs than were formerly used on
range hocks. 1t this be true, the
theory OF French experimenters, that
young sires get more eve lambs than
ram lambs, is pretty well attested by
American experience on q broader
scale.
The tendency of ranchmen to feed
their own lambs and wethers at
home on the produce of irrigated
farms sheds new light ON the feed
ing situation. So strong, indeed,
is the present tendency in this direc-
ton that within two or three years
the bulk Of the male lamb crop will be
fed where raised, and Eastern feeders
will be compelled to look elsewhere
for the million of lambs they ore &c.
customed to feed annually east of the
Missouri River. As there is no else.
where from which to obtain these
lambs in large supply, there is but
solution of this most serious problem.
and that is for the feeders and their
farmer neighbors to raise the lambs
themselves. American Sheep Breeder.

Turkeys and Ducks on the Farm.

Turkeys can be made quite profit.
able on the farm in connection with
chicken raising. I have found the
Bronze to be the best variety; they
are of large size and very hardy.
I keep one gobbler and four hens, set
the first clutch of eggs under chicken
hens and two turkey hens; when
they hatch give all to the turkey hens.
For the first few weeks | feed four
Or five times day on hard boiled
eggs, milk curds, light bread crumbs,
lettuce leaves and onion tops cut up
fine.
put the turkeys in large coop
with yard made of wire netting, keep
them shut up in wet weather and OF
mornings until the dew is off, and see
that they are free from lice.
After they are six weeks old they
will become more hardy AID do not re-
quire such close attention. I always
give them generous feed in the even.
ing to insure their returning homo at
night.
They should average at least 81
each when marketed in the fall. A
mistake many make is to hold their
fowls for the Thanksgiving and Christ
mas markets; these arc always over.
stocked and it is much better to send
between times in order to obtain bet

Money can also DO made by raising
ducks for the early markets. We
like the Pekin best.
While not absolutely necessary to
have running water they do much
better for me with brook, creek or
pond to swim in.
Five ducks to drake are enough,
The ducks will lay over 200 eggs in a
season. It is best to set the eggs un-
der chicken hens as ducks make the
poorest Of mothers. We feed them
all kinds Of scraps from tho table and
garden, besides wheat bran, corn meal,
cooked vegetables and little corn
once day few weeks before market. ;,
The best time to market is at tep
weeks old.
The feothers are also quite an item
Of profit.

Young ducks and geese must be
kept away from water to swim until

them an abundance of drinking water

The Boy who win Never Come Home

The following verse was written by
Rev. P. S. Knight for the Capita
journal and illindeed appeal to many
| hearts at the present time:s
hear chorus of ringing bells
In echoing tower and dome,
And word is passed by thousand
tongues
That our boys are marching home.
But ohe mother watches the marching
lire
That steps to the rolling drum,
And covers her eyes and sheds hot
tears
For boy who will never come.
A father stands in an open field
And leans on his resting plow,
With toil-wOrn hands and wrinkled
face,
And gray hairs on his brow.
In silence he see the column pass,
His quivering lips are dumb
But his heart responds with broken
sigh
For boy who will never come.
Two little children, hand in hand.
Walk down the crowded street,
And scan each face in the line that
steps
To the snare-drum's measured beat.
But they look in vain for brothers.
face,
Whom they long to welcome home
And two children's hearts are filled
with grief
For boy who will never come.
A maiden sits in a mourner's garb
In the shade of darkened room,
And hears the music of martial bands
And the welcoming cannon's boom.
In truth she wishes her country well
AS it welcomes its warriors home;
But her sad young heart beats funer-
al dirge
For boy who will never come.
Q, blame you not, ye who join the
throng
That surges the crowded street,
With welcoming hand and shout and
song
The returning brave to greet.
But am thinking of hearts that bleed |
In many sorrowing home,
And so weave my wreath of simple |
rhyme
For the boy that will never come.
