Buying Trees in Fall.

Even those who do not practice
fall planting of fruit trees often
prefer to buy these and other nur-
sery stock at that season and keep
them for spring planting. Reasons
for doing this are given by such ex-
cellent authority as q. E. Van De-
man, in Orange Judd Farmer:
"Nurserymen are usually willing
to sell cheaper in the fall than in
spring; there is no possibility of
injury from the following winter if
the proper care is taken of the stock;
there is a chance to select from the
entire stock as grown; there can be
no spring delays in getting orders
filed or from slow transportation;
injuries to the roots will be healed
and new rootlets formed ready for
an early start in the spring. In case
trees are bought in the fall, whether
planted at once or not, there should
be no delay in getting them securely
heeled in"
As to the process of heeling in Mr..
Van Deman says: "a place should
be selected for digging the trenches
where the soil is mellow and moist,
but not wet or liable for the water
to stand, and where all live stock
can be fenced out. Dig the trenches
east and west. Throw the earth to
the southwark, making a long slope
from the bottom of the trench to
the top of the bank. 1t should be
about two spades deep. Unpack the
trees, removing all straw, moss, etc.,
used in packing. Unite every bundle
larger than two or three trees. Pro-
vide as many stakes two feet long
as there are varieties of trees or
plants. Trim the roots as if the
planting was to be done at once and
the tops as well. This will allow the
wounds less to bother with and to
evaporate sap. Spread out a single
variety, putting the roots well down
into the trench. Stick one of the
stakes beside the trees and write the
name with a pencil on a smooth place
at the top. In like manner lay in the
next, and the next, stalking each
fully, until the trench is full. Scat
ter mellow, finely pulverized soil over
the roots and tops too. Shake and
tramp the earth well among them.
Cover deeply, that there may be no
damage, and little opportunity for
frost to reach them. So fixed, there
will be no injury from the sweeping
billiards., rabbits or cattle. The cuts
will caIous, and the rootlets will
start out long before the ground will
be ready to receive them in spring.
Such trees will be better than those
planted in the fall, where there is
danger of winter injury, either in the
orchard or nursery"

The Horse Book.

a joint resolution of the 9th Con
gress, is now in press, and will soon
be issued. This report was prepared
under the direction of the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and was first issued in 1890, and the
limited edition that the Department
was able to publish was soon exhaust
ed. The demand was then turned on
Congress, and that body has from
time to time ordered reprints for
distribution by it's own members ex-
clusively, until the number already
issued has reached nearly half a mil
lion copies.
The resolution under which the
present revision was made provides
for the printing and binding in cloth
of 100000 copies, the same to be re-
vised and brought up to date under
the supervision of the Secretary of
Agriculture; $4,000 copies for the
use of the House of Representatives,
$4,000 copies for the use of the Sen
ate, and 5000 copies for the use of
the Department of Agriculture. The
allotment to the Department is so
small hal it will have none for gen
eral distribution, and those who
may desire copies of the report
should apply to members of the last
Congress (the 57th) to whom all
copies of the Congressional allot-
ment will be delivered.
New members of the present
Congress will not be entitled to a
quota.
The report has been carefully re-
vised either by the authors of the
several articles or by veterinarians
of wide reputation. An entirely new
article on "The Examination of a
Horse" by DR.. Leonard Pearson,
State Veterinarian of Pennsylvania,
is included; also a chapter on shoe
ing written by DR.. J. W. Adams, pro-
fessor of surgery and lecturer on
shoeing, veterinary department, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
The report also contains the fol
lowing articles: Methods of Ad-
ministering Medicines, Diseases of
the Digestive Organs, and Wounds
and Their Treatment, by Oh. B.
Kitchener, V. S.; Diseases of the
Urinary Organs, Diseases of the
Generative Organs, Diseases of the
Eye, and Diseases of the Skin, by

The Male the Half of the Herd or Flock.

For years we have been trying to
convince our readers that the only
way in which they can succeed in
grading up their herds and focks is
by breeding to pure bred bulls, bears
and rams. In defiance of all our ar
guments and illustrations, there are
yet, we are sorry to say, many who,
whilst most anxious to have better
stock, yet begrudge the money to
pay for a pure bred male animal of
fine breeding and ancestry, and there
fore prepotent in power to impress
his qualities on his produce. We are
constantly in receipt of letters from
breeders complaining that Southern
farmers decline to pay more than
$50 for a bull calf or $40 for a ram
or boar pig. This is very false econ
omy on the part of would-be buyers.
To want a bull calf six months of
age and weighing anywhere between
500 and 600 pounds, as a pure bred
animal of the beef breeds ought to
do at that age, for $50 is an unrea-
sonable request. Breeders having
bulls at the head of their herds which
have cost them into the thousands
of dollars cannot afford to sell at
such prices. No man who wants to
do himself justice should hesitate to
give 800 for a bull calf, or $25 for a
boar pig or a ram lamb when he
knows that he is buying pure bred,
pute. The get of the animal in one
season, even when bred only upon
grade stock, will amply repay such
an outlay. The increased size of the
calves, pigs and lambs and their
greater thriftiness will make them
worth half as much more when they
are six months old as animals the
produce of grade sires, whilst animals
kept to maturity will show the pre-
potent power of their male parent in
the increased size, yield and well do
ing on the feed consumed. A long
experience in keeping stock of all
kinds enables us to speak without
hesitation on this subject. When
ever you decide to set about. the i'm
provement of your herd or fock) land
the sooner you do so the sooner you
will get into the line of those whose
animals are keeping them instead of
the owners keeping the animals, as
is so largely the case now in the
South with cattle especially, for it is
well within the truth to say that
more than one-half the COWS in the
South to-day are costing their own
ers money every year, instead of
bringing money in) let the first step
be. the purchase of a pure bred, regis
tered bull, boar or ram of the breed
you have decided to adopt, and when
you order him let your instructions
be liberal. Do not say to the breeder,
however good the animal be, I will
only give $50 or $40, as the case may
be, but ask to have the best animal
put to you at the lowest price the
breeder can afford to sell at, and give

WONDERS OF SURGERY.
Discounted by a Marvellous Remedy
for Human Ills.
Mrs. Frances Catalan, of Virginia
City, Nevada, has a Remarkable
Experience Life Saved
by an Indian Remedy,

Newspapers never seem to tire of
publishing wonderful stories about the
marvels of modern surgery. One man
has a section of his spine removed and
a carefully modelled silver vertebra
substituted for the natural bone.
Another mas his whole stomach re-
moved and put back again.
Wonderful as are these performances
of men of science, a remedy which,
without fuss or DO Their, goes straight
to the seat of disease and cures il is
still more wonderful. We are apt to
overlook mems which work quietly
and give credit TO extraordinary mean
of procedure.
1t is certain that the North American
In1ians, children of the forest and
plain, possessed many valuable secrets
of nature for the cure of disease. One
of these secrets, preserved for I'M
counted generations by the Kickapoo
Indian Tribe, is 10Y a permanent part
of the worlds medical knowledge, and
known as the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
Thousand all over this state are being
benefited by its use.

WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Trouble For the Turk.

A serious state of affairs exists in the
Balkan section, involving Turkey, its
province, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. There
has been unrest for a long time. The
Christians under Turkish rule want TO
throw off the yoke and are rebellious. The
Turks are cruel and oppressive. There
have been frequent collisions between
armed forces and many cases of murder
and pillage are laid by each side to the
other. Bulgaria this week addressed a
statement to the powers Of Europe, de-
falling many instances of savagery by the
Turks, which have resulted in stirring the
Bulgarians to the point OF hostility.
Many bloody fights between Christians
and Turkish forces are reported. The
Macedonian rebels have captured some Of
the garrisons and in an attempt by the
Turks TO defeat a thousand insurgents
near Monastir the former were repulsed
with a loss OF 2l0. The Russian consul at
Monastir, NJ. Restkovski, was murdered
by a Turkish soldier. Russia has made
severe demands on Turkey for reparation
and has despatched a strong feet to the
Turkish coast on the Black sea. There is
a general summoning to arms.

JeffrIes Beat cOrbett Again.

At San Francisco last Friday night,
Jeffries, champion heavyweight pugilist,
for the second time defeated Jim Corbett.
1t was a decisive victory. Jeffries out
fought and even outboxed the clever
Corbett, showing great improvement since
his last contest. His blows soon wore
Corbett down, though the latter had
plenty Of grit and stood the gruelling
well. He could not hurt burly JEFF. In
the 10th round, Corbett went down under
a left hook TO the stomach and when he
got up was dropped again, when his sec
ond threw up the sponge. Jeifries is con-
ceded to be probably the best pugilist who
ever entered the ring.
