EARN Notes.

The grass crop of this country
amounts TO over thousand million
dollars a year. "All flesh is a grass"
II all grass could be converted iKta
flesh meats wouldn't be so dear. But,
like other Of nature prodigal gifts, a
great deal Of it is wasted
The crab apple is one of the hardest
of trees, and as there is nearly always
demand for crab apples in market,
they are found profitable by some. The
blossoms are beautiful in spring, and
the trees are more ornamental than
some which are used for shade and or
nament. The large and growing de-
mand for pure jellies and preserves
should create a larger market in the
future for crab apples.
Roller process bran is, on The aver
age. better than old process bran. Bran
is rich in ash, or mineral matter,
which renders it a suitable food for
growing animals. 1t serves well with
all foods which are lacking in line or
bone forming material, and is valuable
in the manure leap. 1t may not be
equal TO lnseesl meal or some other
foods, for certain purposes. but it is
food that should always be used.

A dairyman recently hired a young

the pasture discovered these salty
calves and proceededS to help them
selves, resulting in many instances In

Ny songs, if neither grand nor loud,
Nor any portion of them sweet,
OF them l still must e'er be proud,
If they but your approval meet
My songs for ages may not live
To be repeated far and wide;
If they to you one JOY but give,
In them ever must take pride.

With those that so the world delight;
If in them you some merit trace.

And yet 1 would not call them back,

Fruit grower9 are quite interested in
the formula composing the new in
Eecticide, lire and sulphur, but have
found the labor of making it consid-
cradle because of the necessity for boil
ing the mixture. Recent experiments
have shawn that if potash or caustic
soda II used there will be no neces-
sity for boiling. The formula for max
ing in this way is this: Take twenty
pounds of sulphur, forty pounds of
lime, five pounds of caustic soda and
sixty gallons of water. Make a thin
paste of the sulphur and dissolve the
caustic soda in water.
IE shaking the lime, use only enough
water to make it boil rapidly. During
the process of shaking, pour into the
lime the sulphur paste, and then the
caustic soda solution, adding water If
necessary, and stirring rapidly until
all bubbling stops, when dilute with
water to the consistency and strength
needed for the spraying. The use of
this material in spraying is not only
a decided check on scale, but very eff
fective against various insects. APP
