sociate Justice Carol ID. Woods

freely. AS Judge Wood attempt
ed to retaliate he was seized and
kept from reaching the governor.
Later he disengaged himself and
struck the governor on the arm.
The principals were arrested
and placed under bond for their
appearance in the mayors court
Jan. Is.
As Gov. DAVIS was closing his
speech today, mo accused Judge
Wood Of having gone to New
York to secure information
against Senator James X. Jones,
in the last camp aign for United
States senator. The governor
said he himself had fought Sena-
tor Jones in the open, but that
Judge Wood had knitted him, and
was traitor.
Judge Wood quickly arose and
SAID the governor would have to
retract or be held personally re-
spOnsible hereafter.
"Why not now?" said Gov.
Davis, accompanying the remark
by striking Judge Wood with a
cane. Officers lnterfered and
prevented furthur trouble, after
Judge Wood struck the governor
on the arm.

Now that the bill has become

Fall Poultry Pointers.

AT this season young growing STOCK
should be fed for good, healthy growth
only. When fed all they will eat they
become overfat, grow slowly and do
not make the bone and muscle good
vigorous breeders require One fall we
had fine flock of summer Matched
chicks that we fed all they could be
made to eat They became very fat
but they seemed scarcely to grow at all.
We concluded we We're wasting feed on
them, and fed shorter rations, which
encouraged bug hunting. They had been
too well fed to think of foraging. In
a few weeks we noticed a change for
the better We could see their bodies
llengthen out and their feathers become
smooth and glossy.
We find the hand spray pump is the
best and quickest method of applying
a coat of whitewash to the inside of
poultry coops and buildings. In this
way the lime is forced forced into
every crack and crevice. A large sur
face can be gone over in very short
time.
On many farms the young stock are
scattered about the fences and trees
just now, having outgrown their brood
coops long ago. 1t is time to educate
them to seek better roosting place.
1t is quite a task to catch them all,
and they must be shut up in the poultry
house. fed and watered there for many
days to induce them 70 roost indoors.

Sheep Good for Orchards.

[J. NJ. Smalley in Maine Farmer.J
Very often we see orchards that have
been set forty or fifty years with dead
limbs and decay stamped on the trees.
ASK the owner what is the trouble with
the trees, and the answer almost in
variably will be that it is old age. 1t
is not old age, but 1t is starvation that
causes them to decay. Some of the best
and most profitable trees that | have
are sixty-six years old from the seeds
(Which planted), and the most of them
are good for twenty or more years On
the farm adjoining mine are a number
of trees, nearly all natural fruit, that
We're set by the present owener's great
grandfather 100 years ago, and the
trees are in fair state of preserva-
ton and produce fruit.
With the experience that have had
I am convinced that there is no way
that the fertility of an orchard can be
kept up so cheaply as by keeping
flock of sheep. If the farmer has a
pasture adjoining his orchard, where
the sheep can have run In the or
chard and pasture during the day and
be yarded In the orchard nights, forty
sheep and their lambs will keep two
acres rich enough TO produce large
crops Of apples annually. IT he has

times as many sheep in the orchard.

scarcity of good mules is the cause OF
present high prices. Farmers in the
country are independent, and most of
them have none to sell. The country
supply has not yet recovered from the
big demand for animals during the
Boer war. 1t is probable that by next

| OF provocative vigor is increased -
| at least, it is not materially correctei
| where there is rot special attention
given to this feature In the ancestry.
The disposition among many of our
best swine breeders is to force the
growth of the best specimens of the
herd; in fact, force the growth of all
members of the herd. Too much of the
fattening feeds are used in forcing
the pigs to early maturity. 1t is the
early maturing hog that makes the
money for the common hog raiser con-
sequently the tendency to quick
growth from stimulating foods is the
means applied to produce the breeding
stock that will demonstrate the quail
ity of the herd, that is offering the
breeding stock.
The SOW as a mother, demands
motherly qualities in order to be prof
liable in high degree in the breeding
herd These motherly qualities are in
a great measure, inherited-bred into
the offspring. The SOW that produces
ten good, strong pigs and has the milk
to raise them is a valuable animal.
She is worth more than double the
SOW that has five pigs and raises them.
But this is not a good comparison, be-
cause the SOW that produces the small
Ter litter. from the very fact that she
is a seant breeder, indicates weakness
and lack of swine viger capable OF
transmitting the qualities and charac-
teristics of the breed to her offspring.
strong sexed animal is the one
that gives the best lasting results, and
that can be depended upon for gener-
atoms to transmit her qualities. The
COW Is not fit for mother, if she is
not what the dairymen call deep
mixer The milking properties of
the SOW are very important, for with
out these she is failure as a mother.
The SOW to be a good breeder must
have the qualities of motherhood to
the highest possible degree. and these
can only be possessed by the attention
of breeders to these features and
determination to guard carefully these
qualities in the breeding animals used
in the herds.
