for Apples and Peaches


A government report says that the
Average condition of apples is, on the
whole, unfavorable. OF the fourteen
large producing states but two report
"a condition above the ten-year aver
.age, as follows: North Carolina, 6S, a
ekAin of / point and Michigan 81, a
! rain of points. In Maine the condi
lion is SO, corresponding with the ten
year condition in that state. New
Work reports condition points be-
low the ten-year average. Illinois
ssand Iowa points, Ohio IL, Pennsyl-
xania and Kansas 16, Kentucky. Vir-
giniA and Tennessee, II, Missouri IS,
and Indiana 10 points and in the re-
manning states it is probable that con-
,Siderably less than an average crop
will be produced. The present pros
tspscts Of the peach crop are quite fav-
Eable. notwithstanding the fact that
several important peach growing
sSintes. report conditions considerably
Aha1ow their ten-year averages. The
11Ges showing such reductions are:
Tennessee points, Georgia 8, Kansas
- and Missouri 35 points On the
6ther hand, Mississippi reports con-
Ait1Dn ] point, Virginia 2, South Caro-
Ala s, North Carolina z, Alabama 10
rs 13, California 16, and Arkansas
points above such average.

soravina to Keep OF Frost.

From time to time we have noted
the experiments made to determine
the vase of spray as means OF keep
ing OH frost in late spring and early
fall. In the orange groves Of Florida
it has been successfully done at diff
ferent times. The film Of water keeps
the temperature inside the fruit or
leaf or twig from falling too low, and
this is effective in keeping off frost, If
the latter is not too severe. Most OF
the frosts that do great damage are
light frosts coming very late in the
spring or very early in the fall and
catching the tender vegetation. In
New York state this practice is COM
ing into vogue for protecting vine
yards. A number of grape growers
have this spring sprayed their vines at
times of heavy frost and have thus
saved their crops. We do not see why
the remedy would not be as effective
in the early fall as in the late spring.
Doubtless the plan is worthy OF ex'
tended attention.

MILO Is to blame?

The poultry raiser that fails to make
money with his fowls often asserts
that his birds were to blame. Usually
he says that there is no money in
poultry anyway. Seldom is he willing
to admit that his failure was due to
himself alone. Yet such is about al
ways the case. A man fails because
he does not know enough to succeed.
That is the one great cause of failure.
The antidote is to know more. This
knowledge must come both by exper-
fence and study. There are some peo-
pie that never could learn enough to
succeed with poultry, because they are
lazy and refuse to busy themselves
about details. Some people take to
the culture Of poultry thinking it to be
a lazy way of getting living. Never
did they make q greater mistake.

STUMP WITH SEMI-TAP ROOT
but branch in every direction. Among
the trees that have this form of root
we mention pines, poplars and chest
nuts. 1t is said that in the eastern
states trees having this kind of roots
largely predominant. A government
report says: Not only does this class
include the largest number of trees,
but also the greatest number OF
species" Stumps of this character are
not so difficult to remove as are those
with single tap roots. On the other
hand, it is much more difficult to plow
or cultivate among them. Removing
them is, however. a difficult task.
Trees with lateral root systems are
much less numerous than are the 9th.

Value Of Siiape.

The great value Of silage Is its sue
culence Foods lose in value as they
lose succulence. This quality once lost
is lost forever. The corn that dries
in the field has the same chemical
constituents in its dry form that it
had in it's green form, but it has lost
some succulence and is not therefore
SO valuable as it was in it's original
state The fermenting of the slower
renders it more digestible. This is
illustrated by the experience of the
dairymen that feed silage the year
around. They find that when the sill
age gives out in the summer and they
have to turn to feeding corn stalks
green there is decided falling OF in
the quantity Of milk made. To rem
edy this some Of ; .irymen are
building enough silos to hold large
enough quantity Of silage SO that they
can have we'll fermented silage to feed
the year around and not have to feed
silage newly put into the silos.

Minnesota outter In Europe.
A press dispatch from st. Paul.
Minnesota. says: Minnesota butter Is
good enough to compete with Danish
butter in British markets even after
the influences Of long sea voyage. 1t

Creamery Inspector B. D. White OF
the state dairy and food department.
Mr.. White recently returned from A.
tendanc, at the monthly tests at CHI

department OK agriculture, at which ne
assisted ii the scoring Of butter. Mr..
White says that butter has been
shipped from Minnesota at various
times In the past and has competed
successfully with the best Danish but
ter put upon the English markets.
-Four years ago firms at Albert Lea con-
Quoted q regular export trade ano
their entire supply found ready sale
in English markets. The demand
grew as the English consumers be-
came acquainted with the Minnesota
product, but the trade did not flourish
long. as the prices at home rose to such
an extent that it was more prof1tabie
to sell the product on the home mar
ket. Since then the prices have kept
SO high that the trade has not been re-
sumed, although the Minnesota firms
handling the product have had repeat
ed requests from British dealers for
resumption of the trade. while the
present prices for butter hold out"
said Mr.. White, there will be no re-
sumption Of the trade. If the market
goes down to q point that admits OF
shipping at q profit Minnesota butter
will find it's way into renewed pop
ularity in English markets"
The Farmers Review has repeatedly
pointed out this condition. under
which 1t is impossible to build up and
hold q butter market in Europe.

The period of incubation is the same

their general carriage and bearing,

Mutton Breeds and Merinos Compared

Prof w. A. Henry: The Merino
sheep is peculiarly wool bearer, and
nearly all lines descended from the
Spanish stock have BEEN selected with
that single end in view The story of
the Spanish Merino in its home coun-
try forms one of the most interesting
chapters extant in the history of live
stock. In their pilgrimage from South
to Central Spain each spring and their
return in the fall, the Spanish hocks
make annual journeys covering in all
about 1000 miles. Only the strongest
and most rugged animals survive the
long, fatiguing and perilous marches.
The ability to exist in enormous
tocks, to range over a vast territory,
and to subsist upon scant food, are the
leading of the many remarkable quail
ties wrought by stern fate into the
very fiber and constitution of the
Merino sheep.
Almost opposite in some respects are
the English mutton breeds of sheep,
which have been reared in small focks
confined to limited pastures, the best
specimens being saved and nurtured
by kindly hands with intelligent at
tention to all their wants. They have
been sheltered from storms and given
roughage and grain from barn and
stack, whenever the fields were scant
Of heritage or the weather severe. In
general, the life Of the English mutton
sheep has been one of plenty almost
to surfeit and quiet contentment. In
this country we cannot hope to attain
the wonderful success reached by
British sheep-owners unless we follow
closely or improve upon their methods.
The rules and practices prevalent in
this country in handling Merino sheep
will prove satisfactory with the NUT
ton breeds, and the feeder, in the very
inception of his flock experience,
should duly consider the habits and
characteristics of the animals he is
| handling
