HINTS FOR FARMERS
Witch Grass.

stems called root stocks, says Ameri-

Grass In tAe Orchard.

Hortlculturists and fruit growers
have long known that grasses are inju-
rious to young apple trees, but 1t seems
that they were wrong in attributlng
the injury to interference with the air,
the water and the food supply Of the
trees. Carefully conducted expert
msnts and observation at the Wodburn
experimental fruit farm In England
hsve shown, however, that there is
some direct or indirect product of
grass growth that has an active poison
ous effect on the roots of the trees. 1t
Is also suggested that the so called ex-
haustion of the soil by certain plants,
preventing the subsequent growth OF
other plants in the same ground, may
be due really to some poisonous prod
net left by the first plants.

f. d. SpauldiRg at meeting OF Kan
sas swine breeders said: "At weaving
time the boar pigs should be separated
from the gifts and il possible put Into
u pasture with plenty Of water, shade
and grass. THIS pasture should be
away from any other lot or pasture
where other hogs run. 1t would be
better to have all the pigs in one lot
than to have them In adjoining pas
lures. BY being together they become
acquainted, but II separated by fence
they will fight through 1t, become rest
less, stop eating and go to frcttlng or
roofing. When they get TO that state
the only thing TO do IS to put them into
small pen, each one separate from
others, where they cannot see or hear
other hogs"

Bee hunting possesses charm pecua-

there are few who know this or are at

The necessary outfit consists of a box
three inches square and as many deep.
This is divided into an upper and lower
story by means of a slide. The cover IN
