Breeding

The question arose between.
the pencil pusher and one of
our leading cattle breeders
Should the registers be made
from the sire or the dam?" The
recognized strain of blood in
horses comes from the Ara bian
or Barb stock. England and
France get that strain of blood
for thoroughbreds, but always
have to buy the sire because
they breed from the dam and
good dams cannot be purchas-
ed at any price. Cattle in this
country are bred semi different
ly. The Short horns are bred
from the dam in families. Red
Roau and White. On the 9th
er hand the Hereford instead of
being bred from the dam is bred
from the sire. If the dam from
ancient times leads in hores-
flesh why the division in cattle?
In 1900 will some stock man ex-
plain. Why is it that the laws
of the State of Missouri will
permit 4 stock man to inter.
breed sixteen times 10 get
thoroughbred and yet refuse to
let the animal man marry his
cousin?

How to Protect Trees.
From Journal of Agriculture

The following 1 see is needed

your new subscribers and forget.
full old ones, asking the cheap
est and best way to keep rabbits
mice. sheep and borers from
killing trees. Afterover thirty
years experimenting how to
protect trees, | have arrived at
the following conclusions:
keep them away by using
wash made of fresh lime
slacked with soft water (old
soapsuds is better that has
stood for a few days after
clothes had been washed } When
one peck of lime is used, while
warm, add one quart of crude
carbolic acid, four pounds of
sulphur, and one-half gallon of
gas tar, stir we'll.
The next cheapest way for
those who have only a few trees
to protect against rabbits and
mice, is to cut corn stalks,
castor bean stalks and weeds
about two feet long; set two
or three around i tree, stick in
ground close to trees to keep
mice from getting between and
tie top end to keep fromUfalling
down. Simply sticking in the
ground will not answer; the
freezing and thawing will heave
them out. Trees wrapped with
grass or rags were killed by
mice when the snow was on
the ground, and by rabbits
above the wrapping.
For a summer wash to keep
borers from killing the trees,
leave the gas tar out and add
in place of it one gallon of soft
soap. Wash the last of May or
June. If the miller or moth has
laid 'the egg which produces
the borer, this wash is death to
the egg, and millers, moths and
beetles will not deposit their
eggs on a tree that is washed.
The wash described will prevent
both apple and peach and all
other tree borers. Twenty.four
times out of twenty-five the
borers are near the ground and
from one to three inches in the
ground.
In ans wer to What will kill
borers?"will say. my experience
is a wash or liquid that will
kill borers after they have
bored far enough into the trees
to hide themselves will kill the
tree. Dig the ground away
from the tree and cut with a
knife. and where they are too
far in the tree to cut out, they
can be killed with a wire OF
darning needle. Wash the
trunk, branches and limbs as
