COLOR OF THE SKIN.
II Really Indicates Nothing Although
Some buyers of Cows Pay
Attention to 1t.

The color of cows skin is a thing
that counts for much in the estima.
tion of many purchasers of dairy
cows. Especially in the case of the
Jersey is it believed that yellow
skin indicates much yellow in the
milk in the way of cream. But when
we get down to reality and away
from fancy we are compelled to ac-
knowledge that the yellowness of skin
indicates nothing, and that color of
the skin does not denote high breed
ing. Some of the best Jerseys have
skin that is HSarer white than vel.
low. There may indeed be connec-
ton between the color of the skin and
the color of the milk, but there is
none between the color of the skin
and the amount of butter fat in the
milk. There is, however, value in
a yellow skin as well as in yellow
butter, because people have fancy
for the yellow color in both, and are
willing to pay more for a cow that
has a yellow skin than for a cow
with white skin. For this reason it
is best to breed in the color where
it can be done without sacrificing
something disclaimers Review.

COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS.
Business Principles They Are
Paying Investment.

There are two causes that probably
more than all other things have made
apple growing in different localities
seem improbable. One is the failure
to grow a sufficiently large acreage to
sell to the best advantage. To give
the shipper profit apples must be
handled in large quantities-not less
than carloads, and several carloads
make it still better.
Buyers will go into any locality
where several carloads can be pur-
chased and will pay fair prices for
good fruit. A little investigation will
usually show that where prices are
very low either the quantity was such
that carload could not be secured or
there was such large number of va
rieties as to spoil the sale. Here is
where many have made a mistake.
They have planted a sufficient acreage
to supply a sufficient quantity, but at
the same time planted such a large
number of varieties as to spoil the
sale.
As in other lines of farming and fruit
growing we are learning by expert
ence. and it is proposed now to form
truitgrowing associations. In a given
locality a number of farmers form an
organization and agree to plant so
many acres each so that in the aggre-
gate several hundred acres of not
more than three or four varieties will!
be planted. A very considerable saw.
ing can in this way be made in pur-
chasing the trees, and by meeting and
giving their experiences the better
plan of setting out, cultivating, and
caring for can be ascertained.
When the trees come into bearing
they can be sold to much better adj
vantage in every way, while by dis
tributing the crop among a consider
able number of farmers the risk Of
serious loss is reduced to minimum.
Where this plan has been tried good
profits have Deen realized. One man
in locality growing few acres and
especially of mixed varieties could not
under present conditions make large
profit unless the circumstances were
unusually favorable.-N. j. Shepherd,
in Farmers Voice.

No Cure for Peach YeIIov..

Yellows is highly contagious, in
durable disease of the peach. Trees
affected with it should be destroyed at
the earliest possible moment by up
roofing and digging them out and
burning roots, trunk and branches, in
cluding fruit, on site. No remedy save
that has proven successful. Dragging
diseased trees or branches through an
orchard will infect healthy trees. Late
summer and fall are the most favors
able times for detection of yellows by
symptoms of fruit and twigs. These
are: /. Premature ripening of the
fruit, which is highly colored and
spotted and has the flesh marbled with
red. 2. Premature unfolding of win
ter buds. 3. Abnormal development
of new buds in the trunk and
branches, whicn grow into slender
sickly-lookinG shoots.

low Out His Own SuR-
KestiOns.

The crowd began to gather as soon as the
man fell down. One of the thoughtful ones
ran to a drug store aand rang up an ambu-
lance, and in a few moments great clang-
ing and Gathering was heard down the
street. Then the ambulance drew alongside
the curb, the natty young physician dis
mounted from the rear step, and the crowd
standing around the man who had fallen
formed a lane for him TO pass through. 1t
required only glance for the natty young
physician to see what allied the man, says
the Washington Post.
Frustrated by the heat" he said, coolly,
to the crowd. Anybody here know him."
There was no reply, but just as the ambu-
lance men were about to pick up his pros
trate man stout man pushed his way
through the crowd, glanced at the limp form
of the victim of the heat, and said:

while the other is open to receive
grain or hay. For older calves that
are hitched in stalls the same plan
is useful. In this case the box in
front could be continuous, having di-
visions as shown in front of each stall,
with similar openings for the young
sters' heads. The calves could be tied
to stanchion behind the openings.
Such a plan permits leaving a pail Of
water constantly before the calf, a
desirable feature in the care of young
stock, as they need to drink more
frequently than older animals.-N. Y.

Proper Care of Flower Beds.

The plants in flower beds are usually
too thick in the plats. 1t will be found
of advantage to give each plant plenty
of room, and when the lawn is moved
the short, dry grass may be used for
the purpose OF mulching the flower
plants. Give sweet peas wire netting
on which to climb. Pansies will thrive
well in the sun, contrary to the claim
that they must be grown in a shady
place All manure for flowers must be
fine and 6ecomposed. What is known
as compost is better. Some plants will
be destroyed If fresh manure is used
around them.
