Feedlnu the Sheen.

Sheep raisers will agree that the ra-
tions for sheep require to be more va
ried than rations for any other farm
animals; more than this. sheep seem
to require more frequent changes than
other animals as well as a greater por-
ton of succulent food. This may be
a revelation to most farmers. but the
fact remains that sheep fed largely on
dry grains are quickly in trouble and
when sheep get OFF their feet it means
a decided reduction in the quality of
wool.
If the ewes are with lamb they will
especially need succulent food and the
corn should be cut out of their rations
entirely. If there are unmarketable
potatoes on hand cut them up for the
sheep feeding, say quart daily with
a little oil meal and bran mixed among
them. Keep the ewes housed so that
they will be dry and give them all the
good clover hay you can afford. Other
root crops will do nicely in place of
the potatoes or ensilage may be fed in
moderate quantities; the plan in feed
ing ewes is to give them rations which
are not heating and which will keep
their bowels in good condition.-Indi-
annapolis News.

Prevent disease by keeping the poul-

One of the great secrets of success
in the poultry business is in doing the
little things at Just the time when
they need to be done.
II farmers would keep strict ac-
counts with their fowls they would be
surprised at the profit derived in pro
portion to the capital invested.
In order to get strain of blood es-
tablished, it is not only necessary to
breed IL line. but to select and breed
the choicest standard birds each year.
Soaking whole grain by pouring
boiling water over it and allowing 1t
to remain for "a hours, will cause 1t to
swell and prove az acceptable change
for the fowls.
Birds that have been fed heavily
during the early winter to get them
in show condition will probably not be
so quick to lay as those that have
been fed sparingly.
The breeder who pursues his work
in systematic manner is the one who
gains the greatest measure of success.
Select the breeding birds with a def
mite aim. If you want heavy layers,
ascertain which are your best layers
and breed them only.

of the most important matters IN the
life of an apple tree. or. for that mat
ter. of any fruit tree In the south. is
that it should be headed low in order
to protect the trunk from the sun and
to make the tree less liable TO be
blown over. Then. too. 1ow-headed
tree Is an easier one to gather the
fruit from. But when the trees start
d head in the nursery, 1t Is formed at
various heights, and always too high,
for the nurseryman knows that people
want tall trees. and he therefore does
not head them low. When one OF
these two or three year trees is plent-
ed, II is very hard to start the head
properly where It should have been
started, for If cut back heavily at that
time the buds start irregularly from
the older wood. All this means that
fruit trees of any kind should be plant
ed in the orchard at one year from the
bud or graft. The stem is then a
mere shoot full of young buds, and can
be headed back TO any desired height.
Orchard writer's in the north common
ly advise the pruning of all the side
branches at transplanting, but to let
the central stem remain. and to take
the branches from this. This may
be best where the winter SHOWS are
heavy, but here an open and round
headed tree is far better. Planting
then one year, o. what the nursery.
men call maiden" trees. the head can
be made to start Just where wanted,
giving an orchard of uniform charac-
ter.
In this climate II Is well to start all
fruit tree tops at twenty inches from
the ground. With long, bare stem
exposed to the sun. there Is almost
certain to be damage to the bark on
the southwest side. and If the stem Is
tall it is hard to prevent this till the
top shades 1t. But with stem of 20
inches a simple shingle stuck on the
southwest side will be ample protec-
tion, and In one season the top will
make growth enough to shade the
stem from the sun. There is another
advantage in planting yearling trees,
and this is that the nurseryman can
afford to sell them for less than half
the money he would have to have for
three year trees. ard the freight Is
much lighter and the labor of planting
less. OF course, these little trees will
need more careful cultivation, and
may be run over BY careless plough
men. But any one who plants fruit
trees should not only know how to
treat them, but should look after them
carefully, and not trust to ignorant
hands. Some object to low.headed
trees that they cannot get under them
in cultivation. But this is not neces-
sary. The feeding roots of tree ex-
tend ont as far o. further than the
branches above. Hence, if the soil be-
yond the branches is well cultivated 1t
will be sufficient in the case of any
tree,-North Carolina Experiment sta
tion Bulletin.

Farm improvements.

have few thoughts in mind about
farm improvements which | am going
to write, as 1t may be of some benefit
to others. In the first place too many
farmers practice too close grazing of
the pasture lands. The hot sun of
summer bakes the surface of the
ground, killing the grass roots; this
followed by the wind and frosts of
winter not only ruins the pasture, but
impoverishes the soil. Grass land that
is not too closely pastured will retain
the moisture it receives. forcing
more abundant growth. The practice
of pasturing meadows after he s-vest, to
any great extent, will be loss in the
next seasons crop of hay. 1t should
be the aim of every farmer to have the
soil in better condition after a success
sion of crops than when the ground is
first broken. This may be done by
not selling off the hay and grain, but
feeding it on the farm: thereby re-
turning to the soil in the shape of
manure the equivalent of that pro-
duced. Whenever fences are required,
and of whatever kind, they should be
well kept. Nothing gives a farm
rundown" appearance quicker than
bad fences. 1t Is no sign of improve
ment to see the fence corners lined
with briers and bushes and the rails
scattered about-all taking the room
of some valuable crop. Board fences
sag over, with the posts foot or more
above the boards. which. If put that
much deeper in the ground, might
have made a good fence. The posts
of a wire fence should not be too far
apart, and they should be well braced
with each wire drawn tight. Again,
our houses should be built for con-
venience and comfort. In the location
of the farm buildings there should be
some system. In early times the
dwelling house was built near a
spring; then the out.buildings scat
tered promiscuously around, very
often the stable and barnyard on high
er grounds than the house and some
times the hog pen was between the
house and the public road Quite
often we see the farm house built in a
splendidly located place. but the barn
or wagon shed built nearer the road,
or it may be an orchard Is planted to
spoil the view, and | have seen nice
house and beautiful lawn surrounded
by fence sufficiently high for ZOO
logical garden. Nature, and former
ownership, may have largely con-
trolled the condition of our farms, yet
the present owner of every place is re-
sponsible for the home surroundings
now. Shady and we'll kept lawns,
thrifty orchards of choice fruits. and
plenty of small fruits for family use
are marks of improvements. How
often do we see pretty places disfig-
ured by negligence? Old farm ma
chinery, etc. too often decorate the
barn yard, and also unsightly wood
piles, which might give place to hand
some grape arbors. A few hours

Grape Culture.

For grace vines the best mulch and
manure have ever tried is old chip
manure, chips and all. I pile them
around my vines before the ground is
thawed out. making the pile three or
four inches deep. and letting 1t lie
there until 1t gets thoroughly worked
away by rain and other causes. 1t ell
riches the grond and also holds moist
ure, in addition to keeping the ground
from thawing out early. | keep the
vines well pruned and after the fruit
is about half grown, cut part of the
leaves and some of the young shoots
off to keep them from mildewing. !
raise nothing but Concord and by this
process I have obtained good crop
every season for the last is years.-A.

Senses Of Reptiles.

An Austrian doctor has lately pub
lished the results of his observation
upon the special senses of animals,
especially upon the sense of reptiles.
He concludes that these are capable
of going directly towards water,
which appears to attract them, even
at long distances. Light acts upon
them, independently of heat. Their
sight is generally good, and it is
probably their most acute sense, yet
their vision is limited. Crocodiles
cannot distinguish a man at dis
tances above 10 times their length,
Fish see for only short distances. The
vision of serpents is poor, the boa con.
strictor, for example, can see no turth'
er than one-third of its own length.
Some snakes see no further than one
eighth of their own length. Frogs
are better endowed. and see 20 times
their length.-St. James's Gazette.
