Fall MulchinE Of Trees.

If it Is thought necessary to apply
mulch around the base of trees OK
shrubs as winter protection care
must be used not to do the work too
soon, particularly If anything in the
nature of a fertilizer Is used, such as
coarse stable manure, for there 10 al
ways danger of melting renewed
growth in the tree, just as it is begin
ming to go to sleep for the winter, and
this growth, being extremely tender,
will be killed by the first cold weather,
probably with much injury to the tree.
A better plan is not to apply the mulch
until the ground freezes, applying
more, If necessary, later on.
By far the best plan of all liz to use
earth with which to protect the roots
of the tree or shrub during the first
cold days: put it on several inches
thick for three feet around the tree.
Later, if it gets too cold, little coarse
manure may be put on over the soil.
By this plan the tree or shrub will
have full protection without danger of
melting late growth.

COttonseed as Fertilizer

Cottonseed meal is used quite extern
sively In some sections Of the country
as fertilizer. A good grade meal will
carry about 6.8 per cent nitrogen, 80
per cent phosphoric acid and IS per
cent potash. Based upon the valua-
tons that will be used by New Eng
land experiment stations in 1905 for
computing the value of commercial
fertilizers, a meal analysing as above
will be worth about 500 a ton as a
fertilizer. Notwithstanding its high
value when used directly in this way
1t will usually be found more econom-
ical to use 1t as a food for stock and
TO apply the resulting manure to the
land. When used thus, from eighty to
ninety-fVe per cent of the nitrogen and
phosphoric acid and practically all the
potash will be contained In the ma.

Grinding Corn for Swine.

We believe in feeding swine SO that
they will have something to keep them
busy as well as for the best results to
be obtained from the grain, so we feed
the corn whole and usually on the cob
until 1t gets hard and fiinty, when it is
either shelled and soaked a little to
soften it or soaked on the cob. All
other grains are ground because it has
been demonstrated that the smaller
grains go through the animals and do
them but little good. Carrying out the
plan Of keeping the swine busy, We al
ways have something for them to
chew on-cornstalks, squares Of sod,
apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
and we do not see that they take on
fat any slower because of this plan Of
feeding. Pure water is given them In
clean troughs twice a duy during the
winter and we know they thrive bet
ter for having it.-Exchange.

BIoomers for Children.

Sensible mothers are going to let
their little girls wear boomers with
their winter suits. These boomers may
match the stockings or petticoats-
thus for instance, child wearing
black shoes will have pair of

Where brown shoes and stockings are
worn the boomers will carry out the
color note. 1t is not so desirable to
have the boomers made of the ma
terial Of the dress. 1t is too suggestive

A device which will answer the pur-

follows: Take pieces Of 2x4 a foot or
so long, bore two small holes near the
end of each, put the wires through
these holes and fasten to post where
you wish to begin. Then stretch your
wire and staple to post some distance
ahead, leaving the staples loose
enough so the wire will slip when 1t Is
drawn tight. Let eight or ten feet Of
wire extend beyond the post and to
those fasten heavy weights to keep the

loading Corn Fodder.

Loading corn fodder may not be
very hard work to the small farmer,
but when one has the product Of many
acres to load it becomes a formidable
operation. The work can be much
more easily done if the following de-
vice is used: Make loader by using
a two-inch plank ten feet long with
cleats Of inch stuff nailed on one side
at short intervals. At one end nail a
cleat on the under side, which will be
three inches wider than the board on
each side. Tie small ropes to this cleat

The new Anglo-Japanese treaty
differs from the earlier treaty IN
several important particulars. It runs
for a period Of ten years; it embodies
a recognition ON the part of Great
Britain Of the paramount political
military and economic interests Of
Japan in Korea, and on the part Of
Japan Of the right of Great Britain to
take such measures as she may find
necessary for safeguarding her Indian
possessions; it applies the principle Of

all nations to Korea; and, most i'm.
portant Of all, it pledges each power
to come to the assistance Of the other

in any war in defense of its territorial
rights or special interests "in the 70
