xv1.-1mportance of Spraying Frui. Trees.

Messrs. Editors In a late article in The Far
mer l said that there were more apples in this
section than had been for years. Some have
thought from this that I had apples for sale. and
have written for same. No, I have no apples for
the market. We had had but very little fruit for
ten years, and I think this crop is due to the
spraying OF our trees last spring. The trees that
hit were just loaded down with the finest fruit
we have ever had-both apples and peaches: We
gave our orchard only one spraying and that was
just after the falling of the bloom.
The peaches and some early apples got two and
three treatments, and these trees were very full
of fine, smooth apples. Our peach trees were
cleared of the little white worm which cuts the
trees just below the surface of the ground. Then
ashes were filled In about the roots.
Now is the time to look over these trees again
and fill In around the roots with ashes. Do this
now and in the spring and your trees will last
many years longer.
Many people who wish to make cider from their
anples will tell you that apples fed to hogs do
them very little good, if any. Now, we had the
finest hogs and they were In better condition than
for years while we fed them apples only this sum-
mer.
Now, if you want fruit next year, and all the
other years, you get the bulletins on spraying and
the one on spraying apparatus, sent out by Prof.
Franklin Sherman, Jr, of our Department of
Agriculture, and do just as he says, and you will
have it. He tells you the why and thelboW, N mch
a plain and straightforward way Non can't q
wrong. II. FREPEFMAN

1t will be noticed in this table that Daisy
slightly gained in shredded stover while Doll on
cut stoyer slightly lost in weight. Considering
the two tables, it will be seen that Doll increased
in weight from 1872 pounds on January 18th to
February 18th, and Daisy weighed just the same
at the end of the experiment as she did at the
beginning. The ration was therefore satisfact-
ory. Considering the period of averages 1t will
be noticed that Daisy during the first period had
an average weight of 1908 when she was fed cut
slower; during the second period where she was
fed shredded stover her average weight advanced
to 1915 pounds. This shows a gain OF seven
hounds in favor of shredded slower.
When we consider Doll, on the other hand, we
notice her average weight for the shredded period
is 1,34s; when she was fed cut slower we notice
that while the weight at the end was slightly be-
low the weight at the beginning, her period av-
erage weight is 1856, or a gain in period average
of seven pounds. Thus we see but slight differ
ence, if any, in the manner of using corn stover.
During this time both were used at the same
work. and were under the same conditions OF
feeding, grooming and shelter. All food was
WEIGHED before feeding, and all refuse left IN
manager was weighed. During the whole time all
the grain and all cowpea hay were eaten by both
horses. Some slower, however, was left in the
manger uneaten. This consisted of the butts
in the cut and the hard shells in the shredded
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-10-11

The total quantity of cut that had been given to
each horse was 40 pounds, of which thirty-six
pounds we're ~uneaten; for shredded, 40 pounds
were given to each, and of this seventeen pounds
were uneaten. This fact shows that when sherd-
ded stover was fed SO per cent was eaten, and IA
per cent was eaten when cut stover was fed.
The shredded slower was more easily handled
and the refuse was better for bedding. There is
also 9,sgain in the mechanical operation of pre-
pariHg the two classes since the husking and
shredding was done at one operation and put in
the NOW at the same time, while it required two
operations to prepare the cut stover. The former
was done with more economy and to more adj
vantage.
Nthings considered, we think the advantage
lies with shedding stover.

A bull, for example, bought from a breeder
whose name is familiar to registered live stock
producers on both sides of the ocean, will do the
purchaser more good in an advertising way than
the same animal if secured from an unknown
stockman. This goes to show that reputation is
another name for publicity, and is worth buying.
But the temptation in some instances is to sell
reputation instead of good stock. No mans name
can make an animal of outstanding inferiority
desirable for breeding purposes, and the stockman
who, after building an honorable reputation, be-
comes so lucre-hungry that he is willing to sacrl-
fee that priceless possession, deserves the fate
which inevitably awaits him.-Agricultural Adver-

FEEDING CORN SLOWER, Gun OR SHREDDED

Some of us are interested in the manner in
which corn slower shall be fed to the horses. Many
farmers have been feeding corn slower to horses
to good advantage. Some experiments have been
made that show that for winter feeding when
horses are not put to strenuous work, corn slower
is a satisfactory substitute for timothy hay. The
former is much cheaper, and if it can be used to
good advantage, it should readily find a place in
the winter feeding of farm horses.
Since the coming of the corn husker and shred
der many inquiries are constantly made as to the
superiority, if any,of feeding shredded slower over
cut stover. A little experiment made by the writ
er may throw a little light on this perplexing
question. Two horses were fed the same rations
as follows: Five pounds of corn and cob meal,
fifteen pounds of cowpea hay, and five pounds of
corn slower. To one horse the cut slower was fed
which had been run through an ensilage cutter;
for the other it had been shredded.
The plans and weights of horses are as fol-
lows:

Care of the Pullets.

The fear of over-fat hens need not deter any
one from feeding the puIlets literally. If the
pullets have free range they will not be injured
" heavy feeding. Growing pullets can not be fed
to an extent which will make them too fat to lay.
Care should be taken, however, not to feed in a
manner which will keep them from working over
the range. Feed morning and evening, but moth
ing at noon. They should not be called off the
range for a feed of grain at midday. They are
gathering a harvest there which is better for
them than anything which their owner can give
them.
1t is a "dead easy" job to get winter eggs from
pulets. There is some uncertainty attending the
undertaking with old hens. Cold weather may
catch them in the midst of their mott and give
them a chill which will seemingly keep them in
a shiver half the winter. After the new coat of
feathers is fully grown they will often still refuse
a satisfactory reason for it. And then while
molting the old hens will sometimes become very
fat. so that it is impossible for them to lay, and
valuable time will be lost in working them down
to laying condition. The beginner is likely to
meet with some trouble in an undertaking of this
kind. He may think he knows just how to do it
until he tries:
Pullets if fully matured in October or Novem-
Der will go to laying if they have had access to a
sufficient amount of food for healthy develop
ment. If they have had free range they will not
be over-fat even though they have been at liberty
to visit the corn cribs and grain bins at will.
There is a deal of fine work saved the owner by
trusting to pullets for winter laying rather than
old hens. After the winter has set in it is simply
a matter of generous feeding and good housing.
But the pullets must be in prime condition before
winter begins. Have no fear of feeding them all
they will eat twice a day. Our f~avorite feed is
a mash in the morning and wheat at night

gold mine, Montana, paid in dividends
Sl3, OOO, 600, the stock selling from
ten cents per share to $75 inside of
two years, and paying fifty per cent
in dividends each year. Boston g.
Montana sold at one time for 50 per
share, afterward sold for $500. Utah
Consolidated was placed on the east
ern market at from $25 to 500 per
share, over five hundred per cent adj
vance over par, and is paying large
dividends to its stockholders.
These figures; which are correct,
are given to show that the chance
for quick and large profits are
greater in the mining business than
in any other, but there are thousands
of mines in operation which, though
not so well known as those mentioned,
have been and are now paying their
owners or stockholders handsome
dividends.
1t is not always the fault of the
mine or the management that fail.
ures occur in mining. There are
numerous instances where the stock
holders got impatient and work was
suspended and the mine abandoned
and where subsequent work proved
the mine to be a bonanza. That was
the case with the Kennedy mine in
California, which was abandoned
twice before it was down to a depth
Of 400 feet, and which has paid since
Sl,8OO, 600 with richer and bigger ore
bodies in the shaft at a depth of more
than three thousand feet than any
yet found in the mine.
As one more instance of profits
from mining, take the Montana Tono-
pah stock, which could be purchased
eight months ago for soc per share,
since when it has paid a dividend Of
5 cents per share and the stock has
steadily risen to 50 45. Now sup
pose an investor had purchased 1000
shares Of this stock on the FIRST Of
November last, ID one month his in
vestment OF 5000 would have earned
$50 and since then It's value has in
creased to $3.50 and the mine looks
good for a lifetime Of dividends. The
opportunities for similar investments
in this field ire numerous, as for in
stance, Tonopah mining company,
Jumbo and January stocks,
Can any other business show the
possibilities Of such immense profits?

The Commercial View in Politics.

The Hartford Courant, a thorough
ly dyed-in-the-wool republican paper.
thus succinctly defines the nature of
the American government from a par
~ standpoint: The United States is
a big and important corporation in
which all the people are stockholders.
The selection of trustees to manage
this corporation during the next four
years is a matter of moment to many
of these stockholders. The democratic
party aims TO appear this year as very
good and capable, but of course the
existence of these qualities remains TO
be proved. II is certainly a fair ques-
ton whether the management of the
Philippine islands, the construction of
the Panama canal, and the direction
of our commercial interests in eastern
Asia can wisely be turned over to a
political organization that has only
just found its reason
Nothing is more natural than that
tire republicans should look upon the
government of the United States as a
gigantic trust, in which by the manip-
ulation of the stock after the fashion
of the great corporations, the divi-
htHdS III tllt matt = VI OlllNtSs COll-
tracts, subsidies and graft shall insure
10 the benefit of the officers in control
and to the perpetuation of the usu-
fruct which they have succeeded in
appropriating to themselves. To those
who entertain this view, says the COu-
rier-Journal, the government is a great
crib at which those in it's control can
feed while the minority stockholders,
excluded from the preferred stock,
must be content to contribute by
taxes and other eXactiOns to the profit
of the manipulators. This is a thor
oughly commercial view and a very
accurate refinement of republican
theory and practice.
But if foB the sake of argument, the
correctness of the analogy between
the government of the country and "a
corporation be admitted. there is no
good reason why the affairs of the
United States cannot be as well man.
aged by democratic as republican trus-
tees. The party which added to the
original territorial limits of the coun-
try all its continental area except
Alaska, and administered it wisely
and honestly for so many years, is
certainly as capable of it's control now
as ever. 1t recognizes the constitution
as its guide and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof instead of the IRE,
sponsible will of him whom the Cou
rants theory would style the president
of the corporation. 1t recognizes nc
such latitude, and repudiates the
commercial analogy. The government
is not trust to be exploited in the
| interest of the majority stockholders
as practically demonstrated by the
present administration, and if the
democratic party shall elect its ticket
in November, as it expects TO do. il
will very soon show by its restoration
of the constitutional methods of adj
ministering the affairs of government
the fallacy of the theory under which
they are at present directed.
