SHEEP IN ORCHARDS.
More Reliable and EMcaclOus
Than the Pigs.

I agree that when pig gets an
apple containing worm there is no
danger that that worm will ever
cause any damage to the future APP
pie crop. But as an insect destroyer
the pig is nowhere with the sheep.
The trouble with the pig is that it is
too much like a man; when it lies
down and goes to sleep it is oblivious
of all it's surroundings. 1t sleeps
just as soundly and shores just as
loud as it's human cousin, and when
an apple drops it doesn't hear it OF
go for it until its sleep is out. The
instinct of the worm teaches it to
get out of the apple just as quickly as
possible after it drops. I have stoo d
and watched an app. after it struck
the ground, and seen the worm come
hustling out in a hurry and go for
some secure place, and before the pig
gets the apple the worm is in some
safe hiding place. Not so the
sheep; they never sleep so soundly
but they will hear an apple falling
rods away. and they are up and there
before the worm can get out, and
that worm is travelling to that bourne
whence no worm ever comes back to
curse the apple grower. Yes. pigs
are good, but sheep are hundred
times better.J. S. Woodward. in
Rural New Yorker.

A CYCLONE SAFETY.

rods in the downpour of rain that fol-
lows the wind.
The safety is built in the cellar I'M
derneath the house. In an ordinary
cellar one would be anything but safe
should the house be lifted or blown
over, for the chimneys, upper founda-
tons and debris of the house usually
fill the cellar. The safety is to guard
against being crushed by these. 1t is
constructed in the form of a table, in
the southwest corner of the cellar.
Posts large enough to withstand the
greatest weight should be in pairs
about four feet apart and the tops of
the pairs should be cut with shoulders
on corresponding sides, upon which
rest the plank that the protecting floor
is to be spiked to. These plank are
bolted to the posts, and should be of
oak. The covering plank should also
be of three inch oak and fastened with
large spikes.
The side should be boarded up or ex-
ira posts put in to guard against re-
bounding stones or timbers. It should
cover as large space as convenient.
An ak, crowbar, spade, saw and Ratchet
should always be kept inside. Boxes
also upon which to sit should be pro-
vided. This is much cheaper than the
cave and as safe as any refuge can be.

TRANspLANTED TREES.
They Require More Care and Watch-
ing Than Most Farmers Are In.
clined to Give Them.

Enough cannot be said in favor OF
mulching trees as soon as they are
planted. 1t is all important to protect
the roots from the effect of evapora-
ton for at least six months after plant
ing. The small fbers must be allowed
to form and get good hold of the soil.
and large feeding roots must be able
to reach out, so as to make sure OF a
supply of food and drink for the growth
that takes place in limbo. 1t is not
enough to pour on water from above.
This. of course, must be done in very
dry weather, but an irregular supply
Of this sort does not meet the demands
of the roots. Cover the soil so far as
it has been disturbed by the spade with
a layer of three or four inches of &C al
ashes, or sawdust, or loose strawy
manure. Avoid using rich and raw
manure. Tanbark is in some cases
available, and where nothing else can
be obtained use weeds or fresh cut hay.
This application will retain the 1nois-
ture in the soil, and, what is equally
important, will keep the roots at an
equalized temperature. Without a
mulch, the more you pour on water
the more liable the ground is to bak-
ing and becoming impervious to a
natural circulation of moisture. Above
all, avoid sprinkling the soil with a
slight supply of water.
The care of trees, for the first year
after setting, consists in pinching out
every bud that starts out of place. Be-
sides keeping out the superfuous
shoots, in October cut back the years
growth one-third to one-half. Some
people advocate pinching in the growth,
during summer, in order to retard the
flow of sap and hasten the formation of
fruit buds. This can be done, but in the
production of healthy, long lived trees
it is unwise. BY following these simple
rules anyone can make success of tree
planting. 1t is very seldom that trees
come from any nursery in such con-
dition that they will not thrive under
this management.-N.Y Y. Tribune.

Tree. Prevent Evaporation.

Tree planting for an unusual pur.
pose has been recommended to resi-
dents of the western irrigation dis
tricts by w. L. Hall, assistant super
intendent of tree planting of the d.
vision of forestry. who has recently
been in New Mexico on an investiga-
ton. Agriculture in that region de-
ponds largely on irrigation, and the
streams and reservoirs are much de-
plered by evaporation due to the heat
and dry winds. Mr.. Hall recommends
that belts of trees be planted along
every ditch and reservoir, not only
to shade them, but to shelter them
from wind. The problem of prevent
ing evaporation is very important, not
only on account of the loss of water.
but because the percentage of alkali
in the quantity remaining becomes
excessive.
