while marching up the Mississippi
valley with his command be saw bees
swarming out OF hole In a big cliff.
The hole. he says. was about three
times the size OF hogshead and the
bees filled the entire space and had
the appearance OF black cloud COM

how long the bees had been curaing

declares that bis command was not on

Drop Pewaukee.

The Pewaukee apple originated near
Pewaukee, Wis, and obtained its
name from that place. Being a Wis
consin apple, the Wisconsin fruit
growers, being very ambitious to put
new varieties of apples on the mar
ket, pushed it more vigorously than
1t should have been pushed. Their
State Society too quickly passed upon
Its merits Other societies taking the
decision of the Wisconsin society for
their standard advocated the growing
of the Pewaukee. Nurserymen all
over the West began to grow 1t, be-
lieving 1t to be one of the best fruits.
Now they are discarding it, having.
found that it is inferior in certain re-
spects to many of our other apples.
1t is In every sense very poor
keeper. Orchardists that have grown
the Pewaukee In considerable quanti-
ties say that they would not again
grow 1t and are advising their friends
to leave 1t alone. In Wisconsin many
of the fruit growers are raising their
voices against it. The fact that the
apple will not keep should be enough
to condemn it. While there are other
valuable fruits that may be grown
there is no use wasting time upon the
Pewaukee, which has no virtues in
the way Of long keeping or high flavor
or good looks

Coal Tar Butter Color.

1t is an encouraging fact that the
Department Of Agriculture has de-
tected the fraud of coloring butter
with coal-tar dye at or In the vicinity
Of Philadelphia. For myself. ! do not
believe in coloring butter with any
artificial matter, not even that extract
ed from vegetables. It is not Just
right, fellow farmers. We have made
a brave fight against the manufacture
and sale Of artificial butter; now let's
not be party to fraud ourselves by
adding any foreign matter to the prod
uct Of our dairies. Let them stand or
tall for Just what they are. We can
get cows that will make butter that is
as yellow as gold. We can give our
cows feed that will bring the color up
where 1t should be to please the most
exacting fancy. That Is the way to do
IL. The idea Of having butter highly
colored Is only d fashion at best, The
coloring matter adds nothing whatever
to the flavor Of the article. Pure bat

ID by tar tho best. %. Z. Vincent.

Opening Up Apple Trees.

Mr. s. G. Soverhill, well known
fruit grower Of Illinois, has an orchard
that will pay any man to visit. Any
one looking over that orchard will be
struck by the great thriftiness Of the
trees and the bright color seen on the
bark of young trees. Mr.. Soverhill
says that this is due to the fact that
he has Opened up" as he calls 1t,
the trees. That is, he has cut out
the inside top branches and left, as
1t were, narrow bowl in the top
from the trunk upwards. In ordinary
trees the central stem is allowed to
grow straight up with multitude Of
small branches growing from it.
These always interfere with the gath
ering of the fruit, and the fruit borne
on these inside branches Is generally
of poor color and relatively small, as
the more fruit a tree bears the
smaller will the fruit be. Mr..
Soverhill has cut out these branches
and has let the sun in to color his
fruit. AS he has reduced the bearing
wood of the tree, the fruit that Is
left grows to a larger size than 1t
would. This open place on the inside
Of the tree he finds very useful at
picking time. A man can get into
this place, hang his basket or picking
bag on one of the limbs, and do his
picking very rapidly. Also, when
spraying time comes the man who
holds the nozzle that throws the spray
can get up into this place and thus
thoroughly spray every portion of the
tree. This makes perfect work pos
sible. We believe this process Of
opening apple trees can be followed
to good age.-Farmers' Review.

Utilizing Old Straw and Hay.

There are few farms, comparatively
speaking, where straw and hay do not
go to waste each year. In travelling
through the country we see here and
there straw piles and hay stacks
most Of the latter rotting in sloughs
and marshes-that are neither used
for feed nor bedding. Although this
is the case, cattle have to wade
through filth and wet manure in the
yards all winter, whereas the straw
and poor hay could be put to good use
as bedding. All such litter and rough.
age, not fit for feeding purposes
should be scattered in the yards and
will soon be trampled into the manure
by the cattle. In this way deal Of
valuable fertilizing material may be
produced, and 1t is far better to get,
rid of the trash than let it lie around
and rot to make the farm untidy and
unsightly.
1t has been found by experiments
carried out by Mumford and others
that cattle do not thrive so well in
muddy yards as they do in those kept
clean. Mud is to be got rid of by
draining the yards and having them
sloped SO as to shed" water, also by
spreading with cinders or some other
dry material. On such yards the
straw and old hay or other trash are
used to the best advantage. Straw
thrown into the mud will but increase
the filthiness Of the condition as II
rots, and such conditions are almost
sure to set up foot trouble among the
feeding cattle. On the dry ground OF
the yards, and especially In covered
yards which are now coming into use
here and there, and are In general use
In Great Britain, straw and old hay
furnish comfortable beds for the cattle
and at the same time save the liquid
and solid excreta, so that the entire
mass OF bedding becomes well.made
manure, which can be hauled out and
plowed under In spring or made into
compost heaps to be turned over and
rotted for use as top-dressing for grain
or root crops or to be spread by the
machine on the pastures and mead
ows. In using straw and hay in this
way enough Of 1t should be thrown
into the yards each week to keep them
comparatively dry and the manure
should never show as a wet, oozine
mass under foot, but at all times be
smotbered In dry bedding. Evidently
the covered feeding yard Is The best
place to properly utilize the straw III
the manner alluded to.
