Top Grating Old Trees.

think the subject Of top-grafting Is
one that has been too much over
looked, said Herman Behrens before
meeting Of apple growers. Top
grating when clearly understood and
properly applied is one of the most
helpful means for improving old Or
chards. 1t must be borne in mind
that the great majority of orchards
in this part Of the country planted a
score of years ago did not receive the
careful attention and foresight of the
orchards planted during the past few
years. 1t would be comparatively
easy matter to find instances where
the owners of such orchards would
be ready to cut down the trees and
plow up the orchards. An Indifference
to proper attention and care the trees
should have received has allowed
many fungous diseases and other OBJ
structions to the growth of trees to
become prevalent; in fact, to SEEM
ingly gain the mastering hand. Now if
the. apple growers knew more about
top-grafting they could step in and
use this method to the best advantage
in such cases. There are different
methods in top grating. Some like
to cut off one limb of the tree and
then insert the graft. Where there
are three strong, well preserved limbs
1t would require three years to perfect
such grating. My plan would be to
graft all limbs on the tree whether
there are three or four main limbs at
one time and let the case rest for ore
year. II on close examination one
year after graft has been made 1t
is found to be growing then
would saw off each limb where
the graft has made it's proper effect.
In case the graft, which is something
like vaccination, had not struck into
the life and sap of the limb, would
regraft and wait patiently for the best
results.

Deliver Cream Often

Reports from the centralized cream.
gathering plants indicate that there is
good deal of trouble about the Sc.
curing of cream in good condition.
The farmers in many places now have
hand separators, and in others follow
the old practice of setting me milk
to get the cream. They are too busy
In the summer time to drive to the
railroad depot oftener than they have
to-, and this means that in some cases
the cream is week old before it is
forwarded. The butter makers de-
clare that it is next to impossible to
make good butter out of this cream, or
when it is mixed with the other milk,
as it usually is. The problem is
hard one and it cannot be solved by
any short method. 1t is, of course,
advisable to have the farmers deliver
their cream as often as possible, but
farmer will hardly make a trip to
town If that trip is going to cost him
more for loss in his harvests than the
profits of the cream will amount to.
1t Is evident that we must depend on
little improvement here and little
Improvement there. With the proper
facilities and with sterilization of
cream on the farm it should be
brought into a condition where it can
be kept for few days without injury
to it. If Mr.. Gurler can send milk
from Illinois to France and have it
arrive there sweet after IT days, GER
tainly our farmers can keep their
cream in such good condition that it
viii be fit to make butter from few
days after it is taken from the milk.
We are not advocating few deliveries
of cream, but know that there are
many of our farmers so situated that
they will not attempt to deliver cream
every day, either in summer or win.

Fattenina Cattle in Montana.

There is a growing demand for fat
cattle to supply our local markets
which is worthy of the attention Of
the Montana stockman and farmer
Hitherto the state has produced large
numbers of fat cattle from its ranges
but these have all reached finished
condition at one season of the year
and, consequently, have had to be
shipped at that time in order to pre-
vent loss from scanty food supplies
and severe weather. Conditions, how
ever, are rapidly changing with the
settlement of the rich valleys which
are being brought under irrigation. In
many places the large stock owner is
now able to supply food for his breed
ing herds or focks during the winter
season. In other sections, devoted
more largely to strictly agricultural,
work, the farmer can produce enop
nous quantities of forage which can
not be disposed of to better advantage
than in the fattening of live stock dur
Ing the winter season. 1t is possible
for our farmers not only to supply the
local demand for beef and mutton
throughout the year. but to prepare
large numbers for shipping as we'll

Margin In Sheep Feedinu.

Prof. w. j. Kennedy, in bulletin of
the Iowa Station, says:
Farmers throughout the central
states annually feed and finish for
market thousands of sheep. During
the past decade great many farmers
nave adopted the policy of purchasing
western lambs and yearlings during
the months of September, October. No
Vember and December, with the in.
tention of feeding them from sixty to
one hundred and twenty days, depend
Ing upon the condition of lambs mar
xets, etc., and then selling them at an
T, advance in price sufficient to return a
nice profit on the investment.
Many sheep feeders claim that one
year with another when sheep or
lambs are fed on grain and hay that
the FEEDER must have margin Of at
least one cent per pound between the
buying and selling price to warrant a
profit. In other words, lambs or sheep
purchased at four cents per pound
must be sold for at least five cents
per pound when finished in order that
the feeder may make sheep feeding a
the cost of producing gains on sheep
and lambs at this and other stations
would indicate that margin of one
cent per pound between the buying
and selling price is not always neces.
sary. In summarizing the results OF
nVe trials at Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan stations where corn and
h4V mead Int, hax ;oLk
dollars per ton and corn at thirty
three cents per bushel, each pound OF
gain was made at cost of four and
one-half cents. At this station gains
nave been made on grass and corn at
cost OF less than two cents pei
pound, in which instance the sheep
could have been sold without any ad
vance over the buying price and nice
profit realized. Some of the things
which have an important bearing on
this matter are the price of feed stuffs,
age OF animals, season of the year
when feeding is done, etc. When feed
Is low in price the feeder can work
on small margin and vice versa.
Lambs can be handled on a much
closer margin than yearlings or older
sheep, due to the fact that the younger
the animal the better it can utilize
It's feed, thus more economical gains
are made. Lambs purchased in the
neighborhood of the feeder can be fed
on narrower margin than those pur.
chased at some distant point as the
freight charges must always be con.
sidered. The season of the year also
has an important bearing on the mat
ter, and as will be noted later in this
bulletin, more economical gains can
be made during the summer months
on grass alone and grass and grain
than can be made during the fall and
winter months ON grain and hay.

Black Still Much Used.

A touch of black on all pale-tinted
toilets is still the distinguishing note
of chic, and this is especially to be
observed in the case of modish gowns
owning Paris and Vienna as their
birthplace. An afternoon gown which
represents the very newest ideas of a
great French dressmaker, whose name
is one to conjure with, is of old rose
velours mousseline, striped with satin
of the same shade, and so soft and
thin as to remind one more Of silk
muslin than any heavier make of ma
terial. 1t is very plainly made, the
long skirt sweeping round the feet in
full folds, being gathered housemaid
fashion at the waist and devoid of any
ornamentation, while the bodice
tucked slightly to emulate a yoke
blouses over a high belt and the long
bishop sleeves are turned back at the
wrists, with a vandyke cuff of gold
lace, parted by cuff of empiecement
of tucked black silk, the collar being
similarly trimmed with black silk and
gold lace guipure.
