Fruit Prospects in Michigan,

The official state report from Mich
1gan concerning fruit prospects, indi-
Gates a condition very d~iscouraging to
peach growers. Orchards within ten
or fifteen miles of lakes Erie or Michi-
gan, that were well situated on high,
dry land, show less damage than those
in the interior, but even in these fav-
ored localities, from so to IS per cent
of the buds have been destroyed, and
many young trees killed outright.
Older orchards of hardy varieties will
survive, but the crops produced this
year will necessarily be small. In the
northern and central portions of the
state, or~chardists report that 25 to 5
per cent of all the peach trees are dead.
Pear, plum and sweet cherry trees
have Jared almost as badly. Sour
cherry and apple trees, and grape
vines of hardy varieties, appear 10 be
all right, and so do strawberries, which
have been protected by a good blanket
of snow. R~aspberries and b~lackberries
are much injured. The loss of potatoes
in pits and cellars by freezing, is very
great, ranging from 25 to rs per cent.
Chill Room.-In building any room
for maintaining a uniformly low tenn
perature, there are certainly indis-
pensable requirements. The room
mus be made air-tight, and the floor,
walls and ceiling insulated so that out
side temperature will affect that within
as little as possible. In planning for
a chill-room, every one must consider
his requirements as to size of room,
kind of fruit to be held, his available
location, and adapt his plant to these
environments. 1t will be apparent that,
when the temperature has been re-
duced to a minimum, the room should
be opened only when absolutely neces-
sary, and that fruit to be put in should
be partially cooled outside and not
taken directly from the field in a clear,
hot day, and placed in the chill-room.
1t is better to leave it over night in
a that can be opened and cooled
by the night air, and take it from there
to the chill-room early the next morn
ing.-EX.
Waste.-One of the important things
about good farming that most of us
have to learn is to avoid waste. We
pay taxes on land that we do not farm:
we only half cultivate our fields and
so waste both land and labor; we leave
a large percentage of the crop in the
field; we waste time and capital in
raising inferior animals; we waste en-
ergy in trying to do more than one
man can do right; we waste none in
buying what we should raise ourselves;
we waste opportunities to improve our
condition by staying away from insti-
tutes and fairs and by neglecting to
read papers; We waste-in a thousand
ways, and then we are ready to saw
farming don't pay" And it is no
wonder.-Montana Fruit Growsr.

At the meeting of the Continental
Dorset Club recently held at Colum-
bus, Ohio, Mr.. H. P. Miller said that
producers Of early lambs have discov-
cred that it is possible to have them
arrive too oon for the demand, which
outside of New York is not large be-
fore the middle of January or the first
of February, when early-dropped lambs
are too big to suit the buyers. He has
Dorsets which could be relied upon to
produce early lambs. Mutton breeds
will not breed uniformly in time. He
doesn't have the lambs come until after
the ewes go into the barn for winter.
This because Of parasites, which are
likely to infest the lambs with even a
few days of pasture. His experience is
that the parasites multiply within the
animal. He considers silage necessary
to the production of baby mutton. Has
used it now for three winters, and it
is the best feed he has found to pro-
duce a large flow of milk for the lambs.
Glover hay must go with it. The
lambs are started on cracked corn, but
after a while whole corn and oats are
fed. Gluten meal is a satisfactory SUBJ
stitute for bran, it is sprinkled on sill
age. Wood ashes and salt mixed half
and half are kept before the lambs at
all times. Furnish plenty of good
water. Glover hay is furnished, and
after the ewes and lambs have picked
out what thoy waG. the remainder is
fed to the horses. which clean it up.
Ewes are fed silage, gluten meal and
clover hay twice a day. At this meet
ing various methods of reviving chilled
lambs were discussed. Where badly
chilled it was agreed that hot water is
the most satisfactory. For those in
which signs Of life are still visible
burying in the n heap, thrusting
into a box of bran. or putting into a
barrel partly filled with straw and
covered with burlap were recommend
ed.

Feeding at Milking Time.-We often
hear discussion in dairy conventions
as to whether a COW should be fed
when she is being MIXED. No doubt
it is true that if she will yield her milk
readily without feed, such is the best
method to pursue. But this is a ques-
ton that does not admit always of a
categorical answer. We have known
COWS who had the bad habit of hold
ing up their milk and the only possible
way to get them to give it down was
to put some feed before them. The act
of feeding seemed to take the mind of
the cow out of the stubborn mood it
was in. In such cases, at least, it was
a success to feed while milking

sistent too-winner az this point, was on

Crocklin has repeatedly received the top
price on his consignments and ia credited
with being a very careful buyer and an
excellent iudge-of good, marketable hogs.

Other markets yesterday were as fol-

received 10000, and the market was early
given as follows: Opened fairly active

closing bulletin gave IL this way: "A good
inquiry from eastern shippers and an ac-
tive demand from packers for hogs re-
suited in an advance of 21z to ; cents in
prices" There were left over from
Wednesday $500 hogs. and the estimate
for today is 1900. Kansas City received
1900 and the last bulletin was given
over the wire as follows: Early sales
were to 1oc higher; advance soon lost
on the packing grades and sales were
largely al Wednesdays prices, while the
advance was still maintained on the light

strong, with 1000 in. Provisions seemed

The Wichita hog market was strong

very favorably with all the other prin-

early gave out steady TO strong. strong
and closing weak, and such similar indi-
cations. This market. however, was well
sustained all through. the very earliest
agreed upon quotation being steady. This
however, wwas placed at a time when
only scattering punches OF wagon and
local trade hogs had been placed on sale
and the prices recorded. Later, when the
larger end Of the car stuff arrived, those
strong and upward prices were paid which
showed a market easily Quotsole as
strong to SC higher. 1t is. Of course, a
very natural and logical condition that
this market should in a measure trail
along with others. but as matter of fact
the real condition is that very often this
market shows atthe close a very much
stronger tone than many Of the others
IN the west. Yesterday was one Of those
days, and this market, so far as the early
reports were concerned. showed a strong
er tone, and better prices paid for only
ordinary swine stock. For some time af-
Ter the opening the quality was poor, this

business was wound up earlier than usual
though there were more hogs in than the
