Apple Prospects in Missouri.

l.. A. Goodman, Secretary OF the
Missouri State Horticultural society
has been gathering reports on the con-
dition of the apple prospect in that
state. He has compiled answers from
500 correspondents in 81 counties.
Under date of August 10, he says:
have delayed this report later than
usual so as to get as late a report as
possible. Rains have been abundant
in most localities and the apples have
made fine growth, many apples being
as large now as they were at gath
ering time last year. Generally speak
ing the fruit is in good condition:
much better than usual. The crop OF
the state will average about one-half
and that will mean good many APP.
pies. Orchards have been injured in
some localities by canker worms, by
grasshoppers, by drouth, or from the
effects of the cold February of 1899.
We can safely count on only one-half
of the crop to be merchantable ap-
pies. and hence we may expect fair
prices for them.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1900-09-20

Growers of peas have this year been
considerably alarmed by the preva-
lence of the green pea louise. From
Maryland and other states to
the east come reports of the
ravages of this insect. Perhaps
the worst feature of the whole
attack is the appearance of the insect
In the fields of red and crimson clover.
How far west the ravages extend
we do not know, but there is little
reason to suppose that the insects will
stop their invasion before they have
touched the fields of the middle west
Another year is likely to see a great
extension of the pest, and it would be
we'll for farmers everywhere to be on
guard. Little is known of the methods
necessary for the checking of the pest.
The sprays have proved ineffective, as
far as tried. In pea fields the most
satisfactory way OF dealing with them
is to go along the rows in the heat
of the day brusing off the lice, which
then fall between the rows and are
killed by the hot sun. But this would
not be an effective method in clover
field or in pea field where the peas
are sown broadcast, for the reason that
if the lice were knocked off the plants
they would simply fall into a shadier
place.

A TALE OF MISTRESS MARGARET

THE young forget their fancies, the
old forget their cares,
When pretty Mistress Marget comes
smiling down the stairs.''
Nobody who once looked upon Mis-
tress Marget-pretty Mistress Marget
almost everybody called her-could
help loving her. /, Thomas Dawtry,
plain and simple squire of the realm,
loved her better than all the world
But pretty Mistress Marget was not
for me, or SO, at least, her father had
informed me. AS for me. had long
since decided to abide by this decision
only so long as circumstances COM
PEELED me. Whenever fate offered me
the shadow of an opportunity meant
to steal Mistress Margst and run away
with her. Mistress Marget, as I had
every reason-save spoken words-to
believe, would be by no means unwil-
ling.
The opportunity came when my
sweet lady's father was called away
to fight for his king and country, King
Charles and Bonnie England. 1, who
longed to fight for king and country
also, dared the laughter and the jeers
of my comrades to stay behind little
and steal my lovely lady, If it so
pleased fate. And no sooner had her
father ridden away, at the head of his
men, then made for the hall and
sought out old Simeon, the gardener.

regular rectangle in shape, about the
size of Staten Island, in New York
harbor. High rocky cliffs bound its
coast on the north and west; thence
the surface slopes gradually to the
south, with valleys and plains of some
extent. This is the home of one of
the most important and widely dis
tributed of the dairy breeds of cat
tie. The island was known by the
Romans as Cesarea, and it is sup
posed that Jersey" is corruption of
that name. Although one of the old
est and most loyal parts of the Brit
ish empire, this island, with it's Co.
coo inhabitants, is in appearance as
much French as English, the curious
dialect used by most of its people be-
ing old Norman. The foundation OF
the race of cattle developed here was
probably the stock of Normandy and
Brittany But early in the eighteenth
century steps were taken to prevent
outside cattle coming to Jersey, ana
in 1873 law was made. which has
since been rigidly enforced, prohibit
ing under heavy penalties the landing
upon the island of any live animal of
the bovine race. Jerseys have there
fore been purely bred WIN certainty
for longer time than any other
breed of British origin.
The arabic land of the island is in
the hands of about 1000 owners. The
holdings vary from to 20 acres, and
herds exceeding dozen COWS are
very rare. The soil is extremely fer
tile and its productiveness is enhanced
by mildness of climate; the mean
temperature of the year is 81 degrees
r. and the average rainfall is 80
inches. Tee ordinary yearly rental
OF land is $50 to $lvv per acre. Ex-
tenslVe pastures, therefore, can not
exist, and land and grass are so valu-
able that cattle are never permitted
to roam at large. From time imme-
mortal the custom has been to tether
all animals and they are moved sew
eral times a day. They are always
led instead of being driven. and the
hanunng is largely done by women.
The COWS remain out of doors the
greater part of the year and are often
MIXED in the fields. Very little grain
is fed. but in addition to grass and
hay the cattle are literally supplied
wiz roots, chiefly parsnips, which are
abundantly grown for this purpose.
Under these conditions race of high
ly organized, delicate, and gentle cat
tie has been developed. 1t is at the
same time race of inherent consti-
tutional vigor and peculiarly free in
its island home from contagious, con-
genital, and other diseases.

One way of Feeding Al,.lfa.

Bulletin SO of the Colorado Expert
ment station gives communication
from Purvis Bros. of Las Animas. 1t
is as follows
During the summers OF 1897 and 1898
the grass was so good on the range
that, as general thing, it paid to run
sheep on the range. Indeed, under
these conditions of an abundance of
fine grass the lambs are almost as
good as those pastured on alfalfa and
the expense is less
We had only about hundred sheep
on alfalfa during the summer of $685.
They did quite we'll. We had them,
their lambs and ten horses on TWEEN
ty-acrc pasture and we could almost
have cut it for hay. When the lambs
were weaned the ewes were nearly fat
enough for market.
The cause of the greatest loss from
bloat is probably the necessity of cor
railing at night on account of coyotes.
Where this plan is practiced the sheep
should not be put into the corral I'M
til almost dark and turned out in the
morning before daylight. The sheep
generally bloat in the evening and this
is due most likely to the practice of
leaving them in the corral too late in
the morning. Some actually put them
IN the corral at 4 o'clock in the after
noon, thinking to avoid the loss, as it
IS after this time that they generally
bloat, and then leave them shut up
until after the dew is off in the morn
Ing. This makes about sixteen hours
IN the corral and only eight hours on
feed, consequently the sheep do not dc
WELL
This year, 1898, was the fourth sea.
son for us of pasturing alfalfa with
sheep. On the average we have lost
about . per cent with bloat We have
the field divided into two parts and
pasture one while we irrigate ths
other. These were old ewes and vera
pastured all summer. We expect al
talfa-fed lambs to weigh about q
pounds the first Of October.
(When on visit to the Arkansas
valley in July the present writer
learned that Purvis Bros. have their
fences coyote tight and do not have to
bother about corraling the sheep at
night. To still further lessen the dan.
ger from coyotes, they had taken to
hunting them with greyhounds and
had killed seventeen so far during the
season.
To surround whole farm with
coyote tight fence would be rather ex-
pensive, but it would not cost much
TO fence five acres and drive the sheep
in there at night, thus diminishing the
| danger from bloat.

A Flock of Hrowsers.

w. G. Hughes, Texas stockman,
says: Where range of suitable char
acter exists, a pasture of any given ca
pacity can carry flock of Angora
goats without detriment to other stock,
because the goats will eat brush and
weeds which other stock refuse, and
will also enrich the more open land
with their droppings, derived from
class of food which would otherwise
be wasted. Where confined to lin
tied area they will effectually destroy
underbrush by keeping the leaves eat
en- off. They are sometimes kept with
this object in view, though most breed
ers who realize their value, give them
access to ample brush, which they re-
gard just as sheep man does his
grass, and for the same reason would
not wish to Craze it so closely as to
destroy it. Angora goats will live
largely on the twigs and bark of sappy
underbrush and the leaves of ever
greens in winter, and are rarely fed in
the south at any time of year; but in
more northern ATTITUDES, where feeding
and sheltering are necessary, such pro-
vision as is usually accorded to sheep
will more than suffice to keep Angora
goats in the same condition. The meat
of the Angora goat is excellent and is
not distinguishable from mutton of the
same age and condition. 1t is very
largely sold as such in many Of the
larger markets, besides being regarded
as staple in the districts where it is
raised. The methods employed in
handling Angora goats are in the main
very much the same as those followed
with sheep. They can be herded in
about the same sized flocks in noun
famous ranges as sheep can in more
level country. The most marked diff
Terence in the system of management
is through the kidding season, when,
INSTEAD of allowing the newly born off.
spring to follow the dam, as is the
case with sheep. the kids are kept back
in the pen when the flock goes out in
the morning. 1t is not until they are
about two months old that it is safe to
allow them to run freely with their
mothers. as the latter cover too much
ground for sthe strength of the kids.
During the earlier weeks of the life of
the youngsters they are often allowed
to go out of the fold after the flock has
gone off for the day.

wheat-Growinx in Oklahoma.

The results of trials at the expert
ment station at Saltwater and the
practical experience OF wheat growers
all over the territory show that early
blowing and early sowing for wheat
have given the highest yields and the
best wheat. AT the experiment sta
ton, wheat on ground plowed on July
10 yielded little more than twice as
much as that plowed on September IL,
the seeding in both cases being done
on September Is. The explanation OF
this is that the early plowed land is
in condition to absorb and retain the
moisture while that which has just
been plowcd is not in good condition
for the termination of the seed.
Wheat seeded September Is yielded
81; October 10, IS; and November Is.
% bushels per acre. The early seed
ing was much less affected by rust
than the late seeding. These results
agree with those of former years.
Seeding should be completed before
the middle of October and better re-
suits will be obtained from seeding
from the middle to the last of Sep
TENDER.
AS to varieties, the hard wheats as
rule are preferred in the western
half of the territory and the sof.
wheats in the eastern. At the sta
ton, the highest yield, 44.52 bushels
per acre, was obtained from Sibley's
New Golden; the lowest 1910 from Big
English, German Emperor, Turkey.
Pickaway, Red Russian, Early Ripe,
Fulcaster, New Red Wonder, Fultz,
Missouri Blue Stem, and EARLY Red
Clawson all gave satisfactory yields.
All of these varieties are medium
early, with but few days difference
in time Of heading and ripening. The
seed is all kept up to high standard by
careful selection and grading each
year. If more tanning mills were used
in the preparation of seed wheat,
there would be less complaint OF va
rieties running out" and less of de-
mand for new varieties.
