The Eject. of overbeur,nx

A tree has a certain amount OF en-
ergy to be used in the production of
fruit, and at first develops its efforts
to maturing as many pits as possible
This habit is provision of nature for
the reproduction of the species. This
great production of pits eXhausts a
tree so that there is little strength
left for the development of the fieshy
part of the fruit. More than this,
there is only small growth made
and the tree cannot ripen its wood so
as to pass severe winter without
being injured, Very few, if any, fruit
buds will be formed for the following
years crop, and the tree must spend
this season in recuperating and de-
yeloping fruit buds for overbearing
again the next season. If the limbs
are not propped up many will be
broken, thus giving the tree a ragged
and unsymmetrical shape,-C. p. Close,

What Anrora Goats Need.

DIR. Stanley says: Angora goats re-
quire much the same care as sheep
and much the same feed except that
goats are not so dainty and will eat
much coarser feed. They eat coarse
hay and straw and corn fodder about
as sheep. only cleaner. Experience
has shown that wherever sheep will
thrive Angora goats will do well.
Angoras are not grazing animals like
sheep, but browsers. They prefer
leaves and weeds to nice grass. In
fact they run over grass to get leaves
and weeds. Goats eat leaves and
weeds for feed and then grass as a
condiment. Sheep eat grass for feed,
then a few weeds for condiment. An
goras dislike rain and mud, though
cold and even snow they care not for.

Scale Insects on Grasses.

! We generally think of scale insects
as damaging trees and tree fruits.
Most of us have never felt that we
need concern ourselves abo;t these in
sects on grasses. 1t is n fact, how
ever, that in some parts of the coun-
try scale insects abound in the
grasses. Whether or not they are to
become pest remains to be demon
strated. The Kansas Agricultural col
lege has been investigating them and
has just published bulletin describ-
ing a considerable number of species.
Nothing is said as to their harmful
ness or necessity for measures OF de-
Istruction. These points must yet be
learned. The grass scales attach them
selves to the plants near the roots or
on the crowns. The greatest danger
from them seems to be in relation to
grasses 7c9 ranges and permanent pas
tures.-Farmers' Review.
