authorities, but il is IN the smaller towns
and villages where the neglect is most
a apparent. Hundreds of dollars are spent
by individuals and by communities to
plant shade trees IN the hope that the
town may be heau;ified. yet it is rare to
see these trees given any care beyond that
given by the individual. This Is not a
matter for the Individual because, as a
rule, he knows little Of the cause of the
trouble and nothing at all of the remedy,
yet IS worried to see the trees in front of
his property gradually dying. Let town
authorities take hold of this matter Wig
orously and at once for there Is work to
do now Raise the necessary sum by pop
ular subscription the first year. If ncccs-
sary. Not a man in front of whose homc
trees are growing but who will willingly
give p cents or even more to have his
trees sprayed and this sum will amply pay
for the material and for the work being
done by competent people. Wake up and
save the shade trees.
CARROTS FOR INDIGESTION.
No one will make a mistake in raising
a liberal crop of carrots no matter what
his farm stock may be. They are fed to
great advantage to cows and horses, to
sheep, swine and poultry. For the larger
animals and especially for the horse there
is no better digestive. 1t is safe to say
that horses fed a small ration of carrots
twice or three times weekly will rarely
suffer from Indigestion provided, Of course,
their ration of grain and roughage is half
way decent. Cows delight In carrots cut
up and fed in the mash, sheep like them
the same way and swine grunt with salts
faction when their slop is followed by a
feed Of whole carrots which they may
crunch as they VIII. We feed them to
poultry in two ways; sometimes cut in
pieces an inch or two long so tina they

OUTFIT and mix a little bran with them,
warm in winter and cold in summer some
times using skin milk for the mixing. For
poultry the carrots fill in well when other
green food is scarce and the hens never
fail to cat greedily OF them. Feed car
rots even though you must buy them, but
grow them if you can.
SWINE IN THE ORCHARD.
Swine pastures in old orchards are not
likely to do any harm unless they are ex-
pected to get their entire living from
scanty growths of grass. In such cases
they are likely to gnaw the bark of the
trees if possible. This they will invari-
ably do In young orchards and they should
never be pastured in such locations. In
older orchards see hat they have one
good feed a day while there with one
more good meal at the pen, morning or
night, according to your M Ideas in the
matter. During the fruIting season the
swine will eat many of the apples that
well as 1nstrovin. NAVY Insects i,hen
