The grower of fruits knows that
one of the principal things he has
to contend with, and that material
ly lessen his profits. is the insect
pests-bugs and worms-that in
fest the trees, plants and fruit, In
many cases the depredatiOns of
these pests cause such loss that
every advantage must be taken to
keep them under control. Spray
ing is beneficial. Of this there is
no doubt, when properly done.
But on the average farm it is not
always possible to spray at just
the right time to secure the best
results without serious interference
with the other farm work. Then
a hard, driving rain may make it
necessary to repeat, and with all
fruits from two to FIVE sprayings
are necessary through the season.
For this reason it is not always
best for the farmer to depend en-
tirely on spraying. Many who
make fruit-growing something of
a specially have found fruit-grow-
ing and poultry-keeping good
combination.
Giving the poultry the run of
the orchard has been found one of
the best and most economical ways
of fighting the pests that injure
the trees and the fruit. Ducks,
turkeys, guineas and chickens are
all good insect destroyers, and
when given the run of the orchard
help very materially in keeping
down the pests.
One decided advantage with the
poultry is that they catch and de-
stroy SO many of the frst-comers,
and in doing this prevent the
Matching and breeding of large
number, which, if not destroyed,
would come later.
The trees are also benefited by
the droppings of the fowls, while
the fowls are healthier and thrift
Ter. The trees supply shade. The
pests they destroy supply the fowls
with meat food, while they secure
grass and eat more or less of the
fallen fruit-all beneficial and
healthful

FOR THE FARMER.
A True tiorse Story.

A remarkable instance of equine
Sagacity was exhibited this morn
ing, which comes to us testified to
bv several reliable witnesses.
Thomas Drummond, a teamster in
our city, owns a horse which has
been afflicted with lameness for
two or three weeks past. This
morning Mr.. Drummond turned
him out upon the common, hoping
that fresh air and exercise would
benefit the animal. Upon gaining
his liberty, the crippled horse
hobbled along on three legs direct
to the blacksmith shop of William
Eager, entered the shoeing depart
ment, and stood there holding up
his injured foot, with his head
turned and his eyes intelligently
fixed upon Mr.. Eager. This Pc
culiar act on the part of brute at
tracted Mr.. Els attention, and in
duCed him to examine the foot
held invitingly up for inspection.
The result of that examination was
the discovery of a long nail driven
into the frog, which was the cause
of the lameness. Of course Mr..
Eager removed the nail. Mr..
Drummond generally had his
horses shod at Mr.. Eager's shop,
and the suffering brute undoubted-
ly reasoned that this was the place
for him to go for relief. Equine
intelligence, according to the COM
mon acceptation of the term, is not
so rare, but when horse deliber-
ately concocts and executes plan
for relieving his injured foot of a
rusty nail, he certainly can lay
claim to small portion of the rea-
soning faculties which are suppos,
ed to elevate the human race above
the level of brutes.-/anesVille

Commercial Fertilizers.

Where commercial fertilizers are
intelligently used, they will not
exhaust the soil. If, however, one
applies a single element, as phos-
poric acid, to the soil, and takes
off large crop, it must be evident
to any one who gives the subject
serious thought that a system
which supplies one thing and re-
moves dozen must result in a con-
dition of affairs under which pro-
fitable crops cannot be produced.
1t is the farmer and not the fertili-
GERS that exhausts the soil in these
cases

Spring and Summer Pasture for foos.

This is a problem that every
farmer would like to solve in the
most practical manner. S I'm e
think they have solved it. A cor
respondent of the Br<edeys' Ga
seHe thinks it is blue glass and
rye. He says that from experience
he thinks blue grass and rye make
the best Winter ration. These
can even be pastured in the Win
ter when there is little or no snow.
"In May and June clover is the
most valuable hog pasture we ever
tried. When rye is used for early
pasture it should be turned under
with breaking pillow about the
middle of May, the ground leveled
with a harrow and then sown in
rape or oats or both together-we
prefer them sown together, the
seed being we'll narrowed in. This
will make splendid green, tender
feed when the clover and other
grasses begin to get old and tough.
We find that our hogs like this
green oats and rape in midsummer
better than any other green feed
we ever prepared for them. They
are in this pasture early and late
and they thrive on it remarkably
well. 1t is both healthful and
very cheap feed"

The Silo and its Utility.

In reply to an inquirer about
the silo and its construction,
Missouri man says that during a
recent visit in Sarpy County, Neb.,
| made my first study of the silo
on the dairy farm of J. M. Gates.
The beauty of the silO is its pro-
nounced principle of saving all
the plant of the cornstalk, blades
and ears. Mr.. Gates explained
the construction of the silo, its
economy of food, its advantage
over other points of usefulness.
The silo of Mr.. Gates is circular,
II feet above and IL feet below
the surface of the earth. The ma
terial is 2-inch pine, and heavy
iron crossbars add strength to the
structure. Its capacity is $50 tons.
The ensilage is kept in specially
prepared building, and from there
given to the cows. From the cut
ting machine the green material
is elevated and carried into the
silo and there subjected to severe
pressing. In the matter of food
economy the silo is a success

nation comes from point in Tex
as: Bermuda is about the only
pasture grass for this country that
we can grow successfully, as
neither drouth nor tramping will
injure it. Again, it furnishes SO
much pasture per acre. Any good
common soil will grow it. 1t will
furnish pasture for three head of
cows or horses and there is no
grass equals it as pasture. 1t will
grow on most any kind of land here,
but like many other things, does
best on good land, especially rich,
moist soil. On such land the pas
ture yield is enormous.
Like many other things, it has
Objectionable points, one being its
tendency to spread and take pos
session and hold against all corners,
but it can't stand much freezing.
To kill it out, turn under in early
Winter, which, by the way, will
be no easy job. Turn shallow, no
matter if it does root deep, and
freezing will do the rest. To get
a start, prepare land as for corn,
lay off in rows feet wide, drop
about same as corn; put all the
stock you desire on it from the
start, as tramping sets runners in
the ground, which take hold at
each Joint. Pillow occasionally and
harrow and especially tramp with
stock.
You will probably grow dis
couraged in the start, but when
once it begins to grow it will soon
get there. Bermuda is propagated
by planting the roots, which may
be shipped in early Spring. A very
small bunch Ga joint or two in the
hill) is sufficient. Cover light and
roll as soon as planted. A splendid
hay may be grown from it on very
good moist land.-W. H. POWERS.

of DR.. George ID. Heron, the noted So

Iowa college. The fact that a dl-

The divorce is the sensational out
come of the peculiar social relations
that have characterized the life of DR..
Heron ever since his coming to Grin
