Don't Plant Crown Gall.

Crown gall is becoming very prev
alent in nurseries all over the coun-
try. and it will be well for our readers
to be on the lookout for It, Recently
tla inspectors in the state Of Wash
ston found q consignment of $4,000
ale trees, most Of which were in
fected with crown gall. The consign-
nent was burned. The same lot of
trees had been passed by the inspect
ors in New York, or else the boxes
and packages in which the consign.
ment went forward contained other
lots Of trees when inspected. II a
man is going to set out tree he
should know that 1t is healthy when
he sets it out. A little carelessness
in this matter may mean a great deal
to the future of the orchard II an
infected tree is planted the result may
be doubly disastrous. for the tree may
prove a failure in itself. and it may
also introduce undesirable fungi into
the soil Of the orchard. and in this
way the rest Of the trees may be-
come infected and rendered worth.

Forests and the Water Supply

Many acres Of burned land in the
San Gabriel and San Bernardino
mountains, southern California, have
been planted to pines and Incense Co
dar this winter by the Bureau of For.
estry. Heavy rains have helped the
planters; the seeds of the November
planting have already germinated.
This work has commanded the inter.
est and the help of the country which
1t affects. The Los Angeles County
Forest and Water Association has
subscribed 1856, and the board of
trade OF Pasadena $500, to help in the
expense of the planting. The country
is alarmed by the steadily-decreasing
water supply: the growing of trees on
the burned mountain sides, which con-
serves and regulates the flow of wat.
er, is a vital matter to the Inhabitants.
Hence the popular interest in the
planting. A squad of 10 to Is men
under Mr.. T. P. Lukens of Pasadena
has been planting seeds for three
months. Knobcone Pine has been
planted on the dry, burned spots; In
cense Cedar and Sugar Pine on the
moister, cooler places; and Western
Yellow Pine on all situations. The
work gives promise of excellent re-.
suits.

Grain in the Hands Of Farmers.

4 recent report Of the statisti-

The corn in farmers hands is esti-
mated at about 1,05O.OOO0OO bushels
or 41.6 per cent of last years crop,
against 29.2 per cent of the crop
of 1901 on hand on March 1, 1902,
and 36.9 per cent Of the crop of 1900

Food for Younq Pigs.

Shorts and skim milk is the ideal
food for young pigs. Where milk Is
not to be had, shorts moistened with
kitchen slops is good. In months
time mixture of oats and ground
barley may be added. AS the pigs
grow older whole peas steeped for
twenty-four hours, may be fed. Roots
in winter and clover pasture in sum-
mer will in all cases reduce the cost
OF production. Well-cured clover hay
may be given in small quantities in
winter, and will be relished and util-
lied to good advantage. Charcoal or
hardwood ashes and salt should be
within reach at all times. Prof. Henry
gives the result Of an experiment with
bone meal fed with corn. He found
that 2S per cent less grain was re-
Quired to make 200 pounds of pork;
hardwood ashes and salt had nearly
the same effect We learn from this
that by use of this condiment the cost
is reduced by nearly one cent pound

In Favor Of Anuoras.

Live stock breeders know that any
animal must be properly cared for il
he is expected to be profitable, says
w. C. Bailey. The idea that an An
CORA goat requires no sheds, no care,
no winter feeding, but only an eight
foot perpendicular fence and a place
to run, originates in the mind of the
person who has never handled do
mestic animals. Cattle or sheep men
would not expect to turn cattle or
sheep loose and derive much Of a
profit from them, nor would they ex-
pect to start with large number OF
animals Of whose habits and require
ments they knew little, unless they
had an experienced man to care for
them. Angora goats do require per-
pendicular fence about thirty-six
inches high, and one which they can
not crawl through or under. They
will rarely jump over a fence unless
trained to do SO. Good, warm, dry
climates, and plenty of freedom and
exercise are essential. Low, wet,
marshy ground is unfit goat pasture,
and the beginner who makes the
greatest success with goats will COM
mence with a comparatively small
number of selected animals, whose
habits and whose welfare he consid-
ers. Goats do not interfere with the
pasturage of cattle or sheep, as the
Angora is a browser and not grazer.
Some of the central cattle breeders
have discovered that few goats in
cattle pasture will keep weeds and
brush down and the fence lines clean,
and that they make their winter liv-
ing out of the excess of food which
the cattle leave.

Farmers. Test Your Seed Corn.

Farmers, Test Your Seed Corn.
Will your seed corn grow?" This
question every farmer should be able
to answer for himself before the corn
planting season arrives. The question
is very imperative this year, because
there is every indication that a great
deal OF the cribbed corn of last years
crop. which furnishes the greater part
OF the seed corn planted. will not ger
inmate this spring. The conditions
during the past winter have been very
unfavorable for the maintenance OF
vitality Of seed corn; the late matur
ity, the sappy condition at husking
time, with consequent increased mois-
ture in the cribbed corn, has made it
more susceptible to the past winters
1reezing and the result is a very large
per cent of corn low in vitality. Corn
husked early and stored carefully
where 1t became thoroughly dry be-
fore cold weather. is not damaged and
VIII germinate vigorously, from the re-
suits of number of careful tests
made in our terminating laboratories.
On the other hand, samples taken
from covered cribs this spring have
given very low per cents Of vitality. In
some cases only the root part OF the
germ was killed; in others the root
terminated while the stalk was dead
and in the majority of cases the ker-
nels sent forth very slow-growing
weak sprouts. frequently 1t has been
found that the kernels on one side of
an ear would grow while on the other
side they would not. 1t is very neces-
sary therefore, for the farmers who
are depending upon their cribbed corn
for seed, to make sure that their seed
when planted will sprout at least 95
times out of 100 in a very vigorous
manner. To make test Of the germin-
ating power of your corn, take kernels
from near the butt and tip and middle
OF the ear from opposite sides as near
ly as possible. These kernels should
be taken from at least so ears, SO the
composite sample will be fair one of
all the corn saved for seed, These
Kernels may then be sprouted by
planting them in large dinner plate
hiiSo WIN LuolSI Sduu, plauIlnR the
kernels tip downwards and covering
the sand with smaller inverted plate.
This germinator should then be placed
IN warm room and kept moist. At
the end of three or four days, the ker-
nels should have sprouted enough to
make the counts of those germinated
and thus to determine the per cent of
vitality. Another very simple way to
test seed for vitality is to wrap the
kernels in moist newspaper and
place in cigar-box or some closed re-
ceptacle that does not exclude all the
air. and set in warm room. Then
If 95 per cent Of the kernels sprout
quickly and vigorously the corn is
safe to plant, otherwise the stand of
corn planted from such seed will be
poor and uneven. Now is the time to
test your seed corn, as planting time
is nearly here.-Dwight S. Dalbey, I'LL.
