The All.Purposo Horse.

1t Is folly to talk about one breed Of
horses being suitable for all purposes.
Consider for a moment the light har-
ness horse tugging at the great trans
fer wagons, or the big two-ton farm
loads on the road to market. The
Live Stock Journal says that the all
purpose idea is still cherished by some
farmers who never raised or sold Il
good draft horse. They have always
believed that the draft horse was too
big for farm work. But farmers raise
horses now TO sell and they have
learned that the big draft mares are
the most profitable farm team They
do the farm work OF plowing and haul
ing TO perfection, and they raise the
highest priced animal on the farm,
while the all-purpose horse is the
cheap horse in competition with the
western range horses and little trot-
tiers; don't pay TO raise,

PullSv Food Needed.

No one would think of feeding cows
grain only, without hay or corn fod-
der, and expect to keep healthy ami
mails, 1t is just as much necessary to
give hens something for filling" and
cut hay and clover fill a place of inn
portance in maintaining health in
hens.
If given scratching material of hay,
straw or leaves, or If the hens are al
lowed access to barn mows, they will
get supply of filling, but very likely
will get an article of little food value.
Still another danger, not only to profit
but to health, is the depending upon
corn for feed Corn has its place and
is needed as a heat-producing food
but to use 1t altogether, to the exclu-
sion of wheat and oats, is to get un-
healthy birds and few eggs.

Scaly Legs.

If hens have scaly legs, do not allow
them to remain in that condition. Mix
one teaspoon of kerosene or sulphur
with three of lard and grease the
shanlSs of the afflicted birds. A dry
time makes the work most comfortable
and effective. The scaly leg is caused
by init or itch insect which spreads.
We have found that simply dipping the
hens legs in a small can of kerosene
would cause the scales TO drop off.
This may seem a little severe, but Off
come the scales and the mites with
them; and If the hens have access to
dust and an outdoor run, We doubt II
it is at all painful, only TO the mites.
ANY way, get them off. Scaly legs are
not only an abominat!on in them
selves, but they annoy the birds; and
lack of comfort, whatever the cause,
means lack of eggs.

FEEDING Animals in Winter.

As soon as the working season Is
over the farmer begins to econori2e in
the keeping of his stock over winter.
The plan answers well for idle horses.
but to attempt to keep COW on as
little food as possible is to entail Il
loss. Steers. hogs and sheep should
be fed In winter as literally as are the
cows. The winter is the season when
the farmer can bestow his attention on
his animals, and he should endeavor to
keep them growing and increasing in
weight until they are ready for mar
let without regard to the season OF the
year. There is no more reason for
keeping an animal at a standstill in
winter than in summer. Time and la
Dor will be wasted when the stock Is
fed simply to keep the individual over
winter.-Philadelphia Record.

Seed Corn.

Permit me to give my plan for saw
ing seed corn that have practiced for
20 years with very good results.
leave the shuck on the corn and hang
it up in the barn. It will need no
other protection, If you keep the mice
away from it. | have corn hanging in
my back yard on a pole that has had
all the rain, hail, sleet, snow, fog and
sunshine for two years and a recent
test shows that it will not only GER
inmate but will send up a vigorous
stalk In that time we have had a
temperature Of 9S degrees in the shade
and it has been as low as 10 degrees
below zero. Don't strip the shuck
back to examine the ear, but gather
an abundance of seed and you can Sc
lect at planting time. BY being care
ful you can examine the ends of the
ears TO see if they are well filled if
you wish and If the shucll is loose

Planting New Trees.

When the trees come, unpack unless
there Is freezing weather, In which
case put the box in frost-proof build
ing until mild weather; when the box
is opened unite each bunch, shake out
all packing and dip the roots In thin
mud, prepared by stirring rich soil into
a half barrel of water Then heel in;
cover roots and q foot of body with
soil, taking care to work soil well
among roots, and tread firmly.
TO winter trees north, where fall
planting is considered unsafe, dig a
trench two feet deep on a dry knoll,
using the soil to make a sloping bank
on the south side; lay in the trees
with tops slanting south and bury their
very tips. Tread firmly; then another
layer Of trees, etc, covering all deep
with soil, rounded to centre; no dam
ger of putting on too much earth.
Spread trees in thin layers; until all
branches. Dig trenches to drain off
all surface water.
Plant either in fall or spring; the
above plan combines all good points;
trees live and grow better than II
fresh dug in spring and arc at hand
just when wanted. The planting sea-
son is not regulated by date, nor by
your season, but by condition of trees
to he planted.
Prepare soil for trees at least as
well as for wheat, corn or potatoes.
Plant when soil will powder, not
paste. Dig large holes to admit roots;
never bend roots, cut back rather. Cut
Off bruised or broken roots up to sound
wood. Then dip roots in thin mud
and never let it dry. Don't set too
deep; trees after ground settles should
stand same depth as in nursery-eS-
oept dwarf pears, which set four inches
deeper
Straighten ont all roots in natural
position; all in with fine moist earth,
firming It among the roots; leave no
air pockets. When hole is one-quarter
full, tread softly; and so, until level
full; then strew an inch of fine loose
soil on Massachusetts Plough

story. We are quite ready to admit
that the pedigree COW Is superior to the
scrub COW, but why should any farmer
sink his money In pedigree cows until
he learns thoroughly that such ami
mails would be little better than his
scrubs under the present plan of feed
ing?
II those who urge the pedigree COW
would take some trouble TO educate
the farmer in proper ways of feeding.
there would be more pedigree cows
sold than now. II is the man who has
learned to feed properly who most
quickly sees the value of the well-bred
COW. A high-bred animal Is not likely
to do any better, If as WELL ON ra-
tion of corn and cornstalks than the
scrub COW. The chances are nine out
of ten that failure to make the dairy
pay is due to improper feeding of the
COWS. Correct this fault and one will
quickly see how much better the dairy
would pay with betters cows back of

horticultural Notes,

The failure of trees to fruit is usual
ly due to one OF two causes, lack of
available plant food in the soil or too
much top allowed.
Whenever root grating is used in
the winter the plants should not be set
out in the spring unless the gratis
have grown together.
Examine the branches of fruit trees
for rings of caterpillar eggs. Cut them
off and burn with the branches on
which they are found
Few persons who burn the piles of
limbs trimmed from apple trees know
what they are losing in the way OF
first class kindling wood
1t is useless to plant fruit trees un-
less they are hardy. vigorous and pro-
ductive Of fruit that will not only
keep well, but will sell well to con-
sumers.
In taking up and potting geraniums
and other bedding plants for indoors,
cut them back pretty close to the
crown and keep them in partially
shaded place for few days.

keepina the Apple.


Frequently apples are gathered be-
fore they are ripened. But there Is
q considerable difference in the weight
between the fruit ripened on the trees
and those which are gathered prema-
turely and left to ripen In a heap. M.
Lechartier of the Agronomie station
of Rennes, France, experimental as
follows
The same variety of apple was talk
en-, one lot was packed on Oct. u, and
the other on Nov. Il, and the two lots
were analyZed when completely ripe.
The fruit gathered on Oct. II averaged
As grams, while that picked month
later averaged 10 grams. The sole
fact of having left the fruit a month
longer on the trees gave an increase
of nearly one-half. Thus one can see
the great advantage there is in leaving
the fruit to mature upon the trees, es-
pecially in year when the yield is
slight, as is the case this season.
"As regards the chemical compost
tion, the properly ripened apple con-
tains more acid and more mucllage,
Nhile tue quahtity VI SuSai anu 'ohi'i
are the same In both cases. A foolish
practice is often followed, that of leav-
ing the apples in a heap exposed to
the wind and weather. This is wrong,
because the sugar is gradually washed
away by the rain. One may prove this
fact by putting an apple into water
and leaving 1t for day or two, when
the water will be found to contain all
sugar matter. Apples should be placed
under a slight cover or shed, where
they are protected from the weather.
