DESTROYING THE wEEvII,

in about a pint of the liquid, and
cover the bin. The gas is heavy and
finds its way to every portion of the

use unless care is exercised, as a

explode, even when there is no fame.

SHEEP BETTER THAN CATTLE.

SHEEP BETTER THAN CATTLE.
years together it will commonly be
found that there is not much differ
ence between the market price of fat
sheep and fat cattle, if we compare all
classes, wethers, fat ewes, yearlings
and lambs, with steers, fat cows, heif-
ers and calves. The fat cattle are
now about 81 per hundred less than
a year ago, still choice fat steers are
now considerably higher than fat
wethers and yearlings, but fat cows
are about the same as fat ewes.
1t has been proved at our expert
ment stations that,Nas a general rule,
it requires about the same amount and
quality of feed to grow and fatten a
given number of pounds of sheep or
mutton as of cattle or beef. According
to this rule, ten sheep at two or two
and a half years old, weighing $50
pounds each, have eaten the same
amount of feed as steer or heifer
of the same age and weight, 1900
pounds.
While the general rule holds that
it takes about the same amount OF
feed to produce thousand pounds OF
beef as a thousand pounds of mutton,
1t often heppens that sheep can be
kept on cheaper feed. Sheep eat a
larger variety of plants or weeds than
cattle, and readily convert even nox
ious weeds into wool and mutton.
Sheep can be well fattened in less
time than cattle The one hundred
day fed steer is not finished; but sheer
in very moderate condition can be well
fattened In one hundred days.
Another element of profit with sheep
is the increased fertility which they
give to the SOIL No other stock equals
them in this respect. Increased fer
tility means better crops.-A. ]. Blake

INCREASING THE SIZE OF FhUll.
Good sized and large fruit brings
better price and sells more readily IN
market than small sized fruit In
fact, small sized fruit is most always
sold at far below its real value. There
are three chiefs things, says Farmers
Review. that the orchardist can do 10
help his trees produce large fruit
One of these things is to give good
cultivation. The system Of cultivation
should be thorough and should be con-
tinued year after year and as oIten
each season as it is necessary to keep
the weeds down 1t is surprising how
quickly the weeds will take possession
of young orchard after the cultiva-
tor has stopped its work. In an ola
orchard the weeds do not bother so
much, as the shade of the trees does
not encourage their growth.
The best method is to pillow the
land in the spring, if the orchard is
young. Then put in the cultivator and
later the harrow. keeping up the Gull
tivation till the middle of the summer
at least During this time the fruit is
increasing in size and so are the buds
for the fruit crop next year. The land
being kept free from weeds will be in
shape to receive the air and the mois-
ture, and the roots will get the bene-
fit of both. The fruit on the tree will
therefore have supplied to it the plant
food in the soil to the extent that the
roots can take it up, with the assist
son COW peas or even field peas or
soy beans should be. planted II
vetches can be grown so much the
better, but the seed of the vetch is
expensive. In the spring this winter
covering should be plowed under and
the old regime recommended. Unless
the land is very rich stable manure
should be used, as this will help keep
up the supply of plant food in the soil,
which must 60 into the fruit.
The second good means of increas-
| ing the size of the fruit is pruning.
This is matter that is too much neg
lected. Nearly all orchardists prune,
but a good deal of the work is done in
a very unscientific manner. The work
can be done in the winter or at any
time when the tree is dormant. A
mild dav in the late fall is a very good
time. Cold DAYS IN winter are hardly
suitable in which to climb about
among the limbs of trees. Our prun-
ing is generally too mild. In the care
of apple trees about one-half of the
last years growth should be removed
and the terminal shoots should be cut
back. In the case of peach trees the
pruning will have to be even more Sc
we're. The tops of the trees should be
color each individual fruit and to add
flavor to it.
The third great means of improving
the fruit is thinning. This is coming
extensively into use with our tree
fruits where it is desired to produce
fruit of good size and appearance.
The thinning of plums and apples has
been practiced to some extent by the
horticulturists at our agricultural col
leges, and has given good results,
The practice has not. however, be-
come common with the people. 1t is
otherwise with peaches. They have
other fruit and with greater returns
The peach is largely water anyway
and the taking away of half the crop
on a tree results in the very pro
nounced development of the remain
ing part
