Prunina Hints.


 In pruning, cut close to the tree. An exposed stub is often the cause of rotten branch or trunk, and the death of the tree.
 Seek always to have a smooth, even cut and to avoid letting the limbs to be removed break off when partly cut through. A ragged wound will seldom heal. A sharp saw is the best implement
 Good horticulturalist authorities now in- sist that all pruning cuts should be made close to and even with the outline of the trunk. no matter if the era of the wound is increased thereby Make 1t perfectly even with the trunk, that every part of it may be brought into nearest and most direct communication with the leaves through the networks of cells that con- vey the descending sap.
 dressing of lead paint or tar should be applied to the wound Grating wax etc, tend to peel off; paint and tar are antiseptic, whereas the ordinary applica- tions are not. Of the two paint is the most to be preferred. In the exclusion of large limbs too much importance cannot be placed on making the cut close to the body of the tree. If cut close to the tree tissue dying beneath the bark and next the woody cylinder or trunk in time cov- CTS 1t; if on the other hand, a stub is left natures healing processes cannot possibly reach out to cover the woody part. In other words the cambium. or the growth 1t produces, dramatically shuts in the ends of the stub. preserving 1t from decay, from bacteria and fungi

and gi 70 better satisfaction in every way.
 Usually in the first year after the or chard Is planted cut the young trees make a large growth. and this Is the best time to shape the tree.
 Barnyard manure gives good results but occasionally give the orchard liberal supply of hardwood ashes It is desirable to keep the fruit as near the ground as possible
 The greater portion of the roots of a grape vine grow near the surface, and for this season the cultivation should be shallow. Fertilizers also should be ap- piled near the surface.
 As a general rule. where the grape vines have been trained on high frames for arbors they are less subject to rot. as com pared with vines that have been trained close to the ground.
 There Is no farm crop that draws so lightly upon the soil as fruits. At the same time. however liberal fertilizing will aid materially in growing good crops of fine fruits.
 The longer orchard is kept in culti- vation and crops taken off, the greater becomes the necessity for liberal manur- ing. Apply it broadcast under trees at least as far out as the branches extend.

THE PIG PEN.


Now is the time to push the pigs.
 Hogs running on clover and other grass should be iberally salted
 Keep the SOW in good order and never let the pigs get poor. The farm cannot sustain a more val uable adjunct than the slop bucket.
 Every hog raiser should grow sorghum and plant at least q patch in articnokes. A few acres of each will feed a large number of hogs at less cost than any thing that can be given them
 The first few days after a sow far rows she should have but little food.
 Try a plentiful supply of good, rich slops, and your pigs will grow to please you.
 A separate house and lot should be provided for each SOW.
 For best growth and development feed mostly soft food with grass and clover and q little corn.
 Hogs should be well supplied with plenty of hardwood ashes. slaked lime. salt, and charcoal made from burning cobs and wood.
 Keep hogs out of the dust
 The development of bone and muscle is the primary object of the first six months of pigs life.
 There is nothing that will more quick ly enrich the stock raiser than the hog.
 Keep a supply of fresh lime scattered around the pens, feeding floors and troughs.
 The heavier Q hog gets the more feed 1t will require to produce each additional pound
 After pigs are old enough to eat slop, composed of bran and shipstuff and a little oil meal different filters may be turned together.
 A hog can be raised In Alabama at less cost than in any of the hog pro- ducing states of the West.
 The most. favorable time for the young pigs to arrive must be determined by circumstances and the conveniences at hand for caring for them.
 Weaning pigs is part of the swine business that requires the very highest skill and intelligence.
 A SOW thin at farrowing time will sell dom give milk enough for her litter, even In the first three weeks, and. besides, the milk will be of such poor quality that it is apt to cause disorders in the young pigs which the very best after feeding and care will not compensate.
 Success in pork production demands, as does every other pussness in these days of close competition. constant and intelligent thaSGht and. attent4on- nns

THE DAIRY.

The market for good butter has never been over stocked in this country.
 A judicously selected. well conducted dairy farm in Alabama, will pay net profit of not less than 90 per cent every year, on the capital invested.
 There is many times the profit to the Alabama dairymen in butter at 9 cents than there would be to the planter of cotton at present prices.
 Col Crook sells butter, the product of his magnificent Jersey Farm in Calhoun County, for 45 cents, and cannot supply the dem and. failure to work the water out of the butter is the cause of rancid butter The COW should be milked quietly, 1 quickly and thoroughly. Every farmer in Alabama should be a dairyman. and to be a good dairyman, should be a subscriber to the Mammoth Eighty-four Column. Twelye-Page Week. ly Age-Herald.
 Milk should be promptly removed from the stable to a clean. dry room where the air is pure and sweet.
 In hot weather jacket the milk-cans with clean wet blanket canvas when moved in a wagon.
 Keep stable and dairy room in cleanly condition.
 Do not excite the cows or expose them to stress of weather,
 Good butter should be solid from the time 1t is put upon the table.
 Feed no dry-dusty fodder previous to milking If dusty sprinkle before it is fed
 To obtain the best results in churning, the cream should be only slightly sour
 One advantage in brine salting is that 1t almost entirely avoids streaked or mottled butter.
 In butter making next to controlling the temperature is to churn while the cream is in good condition.
 Whitewash the stable once or twice a year. Use land plaster in manure gutters daily.
 Sometimes butter has white specks dis tributed through it. This is caused by oversourness in the cream.
 The milk should always be skinned while sweet, and the cream then allowed to turn slightly sour
 Stables should be well ventilated. light ed and drained; should have tight floors, walls, and be plainly constructed.
 With temperature under control and churning done at the right time the but ter will become solid and be easily handl- ed.
 No musty or dirty litter. no strong smelling material, and no manure should remain in the stable longer than is abso- lutely necessary.
 Never mix fresh, warm milk with that which has been cooled, nor close a can containing warm milk, nor allow 1t to freeze

 Cut out all dead limbs and blighted leaves.
 grown on the farm.
 Young trees planted this season should be frequently watered
 Moss on fruit trees Is an evidence of lack of thrift in the trees
 Look out for the deadly borers. Ex- anime roots of fruit trees and when found kill and apply coal tar, woodashes or soft soap.
 Every farm in Alabama should have an abundance of fruit trees of differ ent kinds and varieties.
 In a majority of cases the cause of unfruitfulness in orchards is lack of plant food.
 All things being equal, young tree, after transplanting, will make a better growth than an older one.
 The strawberry crop of Eastern North Carolina, of this season will exceed 400 GOO crates. Alabama could see this 100000 and go the old North State, 100000 better.
 Cultivation is essential for best results.
 Peach trees make sufficient growth without fertilizing until coming into bear ing.
  treated the better results come to grower.
 We may reasonably expect a fair crop of peaches at four years from setting and a full crop at five years.
 Markets overstocked with inferior fruit give the producer little or no profit
 Every farmer in the state should do two things; have a good orchard of a variety of fruits and subscribe for the Mammoth Eighty-four Column Twelve Page Weekly Age-Herald.
 In raising fruit aim high and be satis- fled with nothing but the best
 No green thing except the trees them selves should be allowed in orchard from May 1 to September 1.
 When limb is cut from tree it should be as close to the body as possible, mak- ing the cut smooth
 The cherry likes good soil. but Is very impatient of much moisture. It must have good drainage to do well.
 There is a wonderful difference In the excellence of well-grown, fully developed fruit as compared with the that grown on a thin. worn-out soil
 One object is to be gained in any prun- ing Is so to reduce the wood as to equal iZe growth so that the leaves and branch es will not interfere with each other.
 In growing fruit for market 1t Is of great advantage to have varieties that will keep long and bear transportations well.
 One cause of mildew in grapes Is too thick foliage or too thick tops. Thin out thoroughly and mildew may be lessened. Train the apple tree low in young or chards. This will save much vexation at fruit-gathering time and will enable the trees to stand hard winds mu<b- haftse

can be secured by independent thought and methods as in any other way.
 Every farmer that keeps four or fivs brood sows can afford to keep goot boar He should be one of the standard breeds thrifty and vigorous, possessing not only a good pedigree, but sufficient individual merit to be able to transmit the good qualities of his breed to his off, spring.
 Professor Henry of Wisconsin says that 1t has been found that giving each pig q spoonful of bone meal at each meal or as much wood ashes ais it will eat, affects a saving of 2S per cent in the amount of corn required to make 100 pounds of additional weight. If plenty of skim milk is fed there is not so much value in the bone meal or ashes, as that contains much of the same ele- ment as the bone. but those who do not have milk would do we'll to remem- Der the above facts.
 The practice of feeding hogs, almost wholly upon concentrated foods has done more than it's share to injure the breeds. hog can be fed upon clover hay in winter. and with advantage. Cut the hay fine, seald it at night. add bran in the morning and feed somewhat warm. As clover is rich In lime the result will be more growth of bone and better d. gestion, as hogs should. like other ani- mals, have some bulky food

The Poultry Yard.

Keep the early chicks growing.
 Little chicks should be fed regularly and each should get Its share.
 Have the runs kept dry and free from dampness.
 Look out for vermin, and use kerosene and lime freely.
 Prepare a separate feeding coop for lit- tie chicks.
 Examine nests of setting hens and keep them free of vermin
 Don't neglect the dust bath.
 A flock of guineas is one of the best protections against hawk depredations.
 Select from early hatchings the choicest bullets for home use.
 Milk, bread crumbs. corn meal dough and wheat screenings should be given during the first two weeks.
 Alabama Is peculiarly adopted to rais- ing chickens. turkeys, ducks and geese because the climate Is moderate and all other conditions favorable. Our farmers should devote more attention to poultry raising and make 1t an adjunct to other industries It can be made source of pleasant employment to the housewife and the little ones at nome and the means of bringing in many dollars to supply the family needs.

 Hatch turkeys as early as possible. One early bird is worth two late ones. The poults should be kept penned for two or three weeks. Feed cornbread mixed with cold water or sweet milk and baked done. Feed and water sparingly while they are penned. Sour milk cured is good food after three of four weeks old, but don't

 Keep plentiful supply of fresh, clean water.
 Gravel and sand will be found beneficial in the yard for the chickens to pick up.
 To have good layers, breed from good laying stock.
 Be sure to keep the feeding coops as well as those to confine the hen with her young brood, on dry ground; dampness is injurious
 When oyster shells are used, break into small pieces.
 Provide the hens that wont to sit early with warm, dry nests.
 Every issue of the Mammoth Eighty four Column Twelve Page Weekly Age Herald will contain valuable informa tion to the poultry raiser.
 Adding carbolic acid and put on hot will secure better results from the white washing of the poultry house.
 Smearing whole wheat with kerosene or turpentine and feeding it to the chick ems is a good remedy for gapes.
 Chicks should not be fed more than they can eat up clean; little and often" is better than too much.
 Make the coop without bottom, keep IL ol ury BTounu, UT Soile otier uTy pidce and move often or 1t will become tainted
 Coops should be tight except on one side or front, which should have upright slats or bars two inches apart, two of which should be movable to put the hen in.
 Some persons throw down great Jumps of dough and the old hen and few of the strongest chickens get all, while those that need it most get none.
 Guineas lay large number of eggs, which. though small, are of good flavor and nutritious.
 For matching duck eggs, hens, in many cases, are preferable to ducks, and they make better and more careful mothers

Have a good ram though he costs a good price.
 Breed and feed regulate the price the manufacturer pays for wool.
 Avoid lime and sulphur as a sheep dip.
 Loose bulky feeces sell best in the m arket.
 More and better wool can be secured by early shearing.
 On sheep farms it is a notorious fact that fertility is always present.
 Of all animals the sheep is best suited to the general farmers purposes.
 Mutton growing. with wool as an incl dental product will continue to be profitable industry.
 Poorly nourished sheep cannot produce healthy or profitable fleece
 In marking sheep, don't use coarse heavy paint.
 In selecting animals for the fair; take only those that carry the true impress or the breed that you champion.

 Roots are valuable in making high-class mutton, giving meat of very juicy pal atable nature. In the fall, before frost the sheep will eat the roots where they have grown; the remainder are then pulled and stored for winter use
 Do not let the butcher pick out the best young ewes. He will tempt us, but we must be far-sighted and think of the future of our flock.
 The rutabaga turnip is much used and preferred by sheep to all other roots Lambs weighing 75 to 100 pounds will con- sume three to four pounds of roots daily and from one to two pounds of grain, the roots usually taking the place of 30 to 40 per cent of the full grain ration Two parts of oats to one of bran is good grain ration when fed in connection with roots.

 On the farm to make the most out of the milk and butter, some of the cows should be bred to come fresh in the spring and some in the fall.
 Feed a good COW literally with fresh palatable feeding stuffs. Do not change these suddenly Provide water, pure but not too cold, in abundance.
 Wash all dairy utensils daily, thorough ly rinsing in boiling Hot water and a lit- tie washing soda scald and drain. Boil strainer cloths daily. After cleaning keep utensils inverted in pure air. and sun if possible, until wanted for use
 Under no circumstances should any thing be added to milk to prevent its souring. Such doings violate the laws of both God and man. The chemicals which are used for this purpose are slow poi sons. Cleanliness and cold are the only preservatives needed.
