As to Apple Trees.

If you will note the habit of growth
in the apple tree all through north.
ern Iowa you will observe that al.
most without exception. it leans over
towards the northeast. The reason
usually assigned for this popularity
OF growth is that the prevailing winds
during the growing season from the
south and southwest force the tree
to lean over to the northeast. I'VE be.
iReve this. theory to be wholly CHROME.
Gus and that this tendency is caused
by the fact that we have hot, dry
climate, that the apple tree finds its
best development in coof and moist
atmosphere, and because of this de.

OF the tree, thus producing this lop.
sided appearances This suggests the
Importance of planting our apple or.
chards in rows north and south. the
trees near enough together so that
their branches will interlock and pro.
tect each other, the needed light and
ventilation to be secured at the sides
between rows. In other words, the
best apple orchard will be an apple
tree hedge, and further, if you can
grow this hedge, so-called, practical

form it, so much the better. We

A General Micrstion.

Not since the west was first settled
has there been such general migra
ton OF the people in search of new
homes as this spring. Illinois and
Wisconsin farmers have been selling
the old homesteads in those states
and moving to Iowa, Kansas and Ne.
braska and have bought cheaper, but
equally good farms; the Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska man after selling out
has gone to the Dakotas, northern
Minnesota or the southwest country.
he also doubling the number of acres
in the newer country. Many farmers
well fixed, have gone to the Pacific
coast, where they will seek homes in
the milder and more equable climate
of that territory. 1t has been with
farm lands just, as it always is with
any other commodity-when the price
began to advance, then everybody
wanted to buy. The movement ha.
been entirely healthy and normal in
its type and free from any specula.

August Rations for the Cow.

1t is the right time to hedge
against that common sight in August
of bunch of dairy cows standing
fight ing flies on some knoll in bare
and brown pasture, shrinking in their
milk yield day by day. II is proba-
bly, true that cows are far better fed
in winter on the average dairy farm
than they are in summer, save for a
matter of six weeks or two months in
May and June. Some sort of soiling
crop must be had to tide the cows
over the dry midsummer period and
probably nothing is more easily pro-
vided, or will give better results, than
sweet corn so planted that il may
be cut and literally fed during such
period While not a purfect milk
making ration, 1t still can be SO
easily furnished by the average
dairyman, that there Is no excuse
for not having it.

A farmer in Minnesota reports q
new crop combination, one of wheat
and fax. He says that for years he
has raised this composite crop with
great success and satisfaction He
sows one-half bushel each of wheat
and fax to the acre, the seed to be
thoroughly mixed before sowing. He
says that wheat sown with fax never
under any circumstances rusts, or is
affected with chintz bugs, and that
on good soil the crop is easily twenty
bushels per acre of the composite
grain. He further wisely adds that
so far as the drain on the soil is con-
cerned this mixed crop is flax crop
and must not be repeated on the same
land the next year. He says that it is
good crop to seed to grass and
clover with.

Making Over Old Trees.

We are building over some severa
seven-year-old apple trees this spring
some trees which we bought, planted
and cared for in good faith, suppos
ing them to be of certain desired
varieties, but which proved when
tney fruited to be utterly worthless
mavericks. We find that it is a slow
ana tedious job to build over these
trees. in fact the work cannot be all
done in one season, when, had the
grating been done when the tree
was two-year-old one graft would
have done the work and given us a
good tree. This nicely illustrates the
process of rebuilding the habits and
character of matured man when
an attempt is made to reform him;
the work is slow and cannot all be
done at once, when had he been
taken in hand as boy it would have
been an easy matter.

Cyclones

We are asked why ii is that the CIV.

the cyclone seldom is heard of after

A friend asks if the separator milk
fed warm from the COW is as good as
the skim milk where the cream in
raised by the gravity system-wheth-
er calves will do as well on it. In nu-
tritive value it is not as good, but the,
uniform temperature and quality does
much to Offset this lack in nutritive
value. The difference is simply a
shortage of the butter fat left in the
milk when set, and this is very easily,
restored by the addition of faxseed
meal to the separated milk. The very
best of calves can be raised on this
separator milk fed warm from the
cow where proper care is taken to re-
store the fat by the addition of fax
seed meal or corn meal.
