he roared with the voice accustomed
to obedience, I'm put you ashore on

But he had not counted on the ma

the youngster replied:
"Oh, captain, please, I'd much rather

generally practiced by all farm.
ers than II Is. always do all of the
fall blowing that possibly can, es-
peclally where intend TO put in corn
the coming spring II sod Is turned
under in the fall the amount OF plant
food will be greatly increased for the
crop the next summer. I have also
noticed that there are not as many
cutworms, grubworms and cornroot
worms the next spring as there we're
the spring before II the ground is
plowed in the fall Every pest that
the farmer can get rid of he knows II
TO be for his own good TO do so. The
surface of fall plowed ground is drier
In the spring at planting time than
ground not so treated and some farm
ers might think that II does not con-
tain as much moisture, but find that
II does. The rainfall is enabled to
better penetrate the sub-soil which al
lows the surface OF fall plowed ground
to dry more rapidly. II you have not
experienced fall blowing, try 1t, and
you will find that fall plowed ground
has drier surface and contains more
moisture at planting time in the spring
than ground which has not been
plowed in the fall. | believe in locall-
ties where there is much rain during
the winter, 1t is better not TO harrow
the fall plowed ground in the autumn,
. especially where there are fine clay
soils that run together and pack down.
IL we have a dry summer we will find
that fall plowed ground will yield
better crops than spring plowed
ground.-J. S. Underwood Johnson

Scales on the EARN.

So far as possible, farming opera.
lions should be reduced to an exact
science. The old ways of feeding by
guess and even buying and selling by
guess should give way to Weighing
and measuring everything, In the
feeding of grains and ground grains,
scales rather than measures should
be depended upon. Different kinds OF
grains vary greatly in their weight,
and II a man tries to measure them
out he is sure to give more at one
time than at another. Some of the
brans on the market differ exceeding.
ly in this respect Some of them are
very light, being hardly more than the
hull of the wheat, while others are
quite heavy and consist largely of
middlings. II man has scales, he
can very easily feed about the same
amount of food each day, and there
fore become better informed as to the
requisite food required to produce a
certain effect. Scales can now be
bought at very low price, and a few
dollars invested in scales will give
good returns indirectly for many
years TO come.

Fruit Trees and Mice.

Every winter in some parts OF the
country great losses are experienced
In the orchards by the ravages OF
mice. It 10 not unusual to take up n
report from a state Of the United
states, or province of Canada and find
numerous reports of the great havoc
wrought by mice. We noticed a while
ago report from the province of On
tario. Among the reports we're these,
which were Characteristic: From
Glengary: Thousands of fruit trees
have been ruined by mice" From
Carleton: "ol' fruit trees are in fine
condition, but young orchards have
been almost destroyed by field mice"
From Parry Sound: mice we're very
destructive last winter and did a lot
OF damage to young fruit trees" From
Duferin: Fruit trees we're badly peel
ed by mice during the winter" We
might repeat numerous other reports
OF the same general character. Re
ports secured from various northern
states Of the Union frequently have
like tenor.
Losses from mice always occur on
young trees, generally trees that are
one or two years old. These little
/ creatures can do very great amount
OF damage because II requires but
very small damage to any one tree to
kill t. The mice simply gnaw entire
ly around a tree at the snow line.
They are after the young bark to sat
isfy their hunger. The space gnawed
may not be more than an inch wide,
but II means the doom of the tree. II
Is no wonder then that a whole orch
ard is sometimes wiped out in a sin
gle year by these young rodents.
They are especially dangerous where
straw or corn stalks have been placed
around trees, as this makes hiding
place for the mice. Corn stalks are
frequently put around trees to protect
them from sun-scald in winter. The
trees are saved from this injury, but
Instead are destroyed by the mice.
Where mice are troublesome, the best
way is to destroy all their hiding
| places in the orchards and adjoining
fields. In the west we have few stone
walls to act as protectors of the mice,
and II is easier to prevent their raw
ages than In the eastern states where
every farm orchard Is protected on
some side by stone wall. Where the
hiding places cannot be destroyed.
some kind OF tree protector win have
10 be used. One OF the best oil these
Is shield made OF laths bound togeth-
er by wire. This Is sunk into the
ground around the tree before the soil
freezes hard in the fall. The wire
lath shield Is inexpensive. and any
man can make Il. The wires are sim
ply crossed between each two laths.
and the spaces between any two laths
must not be large enough to permit
the rodents to cut through. We would
like to hear from our readers as to
their methods Of protecting their
orchards against mice.

capt. eurns cured q Pea sous.

The following was frequently told
by Capt, Martin Burns of Bangor, Me-.
as one on him;
The captain was very fond of spin
pea soup. and before leaving port be
always put in a goodsized STOCK OF
split peas On this occasion, however,
his negro steward got whole peas, and
so the soup that the captain called fol-
on the first day ont was thrown away
The next day pea soup was again
served, and this time the captain. after
having eaten a hearty meal, said to his
steward Steward, that's the kind of
soup like; Wen have some more just
like 1t tomorrow"
30 de Lawd's sake, cap'n," ex.
claimed the steward, ma jaws am SC
tired chewing dem whole peas dat All

The captain never asked for pea
soup again.

Transportation of Trees.

The Transportation of trees Is the
process of the tree taking the water
up by its roots, passing II up through
the trunk and branches and into the
leavessand evaporating Il into the at
mosphere The amount OF water thus
transpired by trees is very gre T.
Even the ordinary tree thus uses S v
eral barrels OF water every day. There
are many problems connected with
this process that are only being
studied and have not been solved.
One of these is the pa wer OF trees to
resist drouth, IL would naturally be
assumed that the tree that uses the
least water can stand drouth the best.
The actual tests of the matter how
ever, do not carry out this theory.
One Russian experimenter found that
while a maple tree was transpiring
2S9 pounds of water, an ash tree.
from the same surface, transpired 500
pounds, 10 pounds more than the
other This was approximately 30 per
cent II is known, however, that ash
trees stand drouth far better than
naples. Groves of ash trees and
maple trees that came under the OBJ
servation OF this Russian experiment.
er were subjected to very severe
drouth conditions in the fall OF 1902
and the spring of 1903 Nearly all of
the naples died, while the ash trees
continued their existence and devel-
oped normally during the summer and
fall of 1908. This is of great impor-
lance to people living in the semi
arid districts For some reason the
trees using the greater amount OF
water are able to get that water from
greater depths in the soil, and are
able to hold up the cellular structure
of the leaf with less amount of water
than others.-James Gordon. Anderson
Co., Kas.
