Feeding Apples to Cows.

At this time of the year, when tho
small apples from the orchard are be-
ing sorted out and disposed of as by,
products, it is practice for man!
farmers to feed some OF the wormie5
apples and small apples to the cows.
A limited amount fed each day viii
prove of great help to the animals, al.
though there is no great amount OK
nutriment in the fruit. The great
value comes from the presence Of
the fruit acid in apples; yet in the
feeding of apples great care is needed.
Large apples should rot be given TO
cows whole; in fact, it is better IL All
apples of medium to large size yro
cut in two before being fed. Many n
COW has been choked to death on Large
apples. One boy, known to the writer,
started to feed hungry COW apples.
She was so eager for the fruit that
she tried to swallow one whole tc
make room for some more. An apple
of unusual size became fixed in her
throat. 1t was only by vigorous work
on the part of the owner of the COW
that she was saved. Jie put both
hands on her throat and worked the
apple down whole. A good way to
feed apples is in the form of pomace,
which is the remainder of the apples
after the cider has been pressed out
of the ground mass. This pomace con.
tains small amount of nitrogen, y
very small amount of potassium anc
some phosphorus. The vegetable
sugars are also present. The phos.

Give the Trees Enounh Boon,

1t pays to give each tree all the
room 1t needs, whether this tree be
q fruit or shade tree. All the years
/ have lived on farm have noticed
the great mistakes made by my neigh.
bors in this regard. once had
neighbor who went into the raising
of small fruit and also set out an
orchard. He did well with his small
fruit, but partly failed with his tree
fruit, for the reason that he set the
trees too close together. He had only
a few acres of land at most and want
ed to make the most of each acre;
so he set the trees about rod apart.
They made a splendid growth of wood
and foliage. When people would drive
past the house, they would be heard
TO remark what fine-looking orchard
it was, the trees being very thrifty
and shading the ground. But that was
just the trouble: they were too thrifty
The apple tree that takes on the char
Lcteristic of the shade tree is of little
value for apples. 1t is too busy de-
Veloping foliage.
This man was sorely disappointed
with his orchard, and in few years
after it should have been in bearing
got around to cutting out some of the
trees. But the trees were badly set
back by the early habits they had
formed. They were more set back by
the heavy trimming it was necessary
to give them before they would start
to bearing. But they did start, in the
end. The wood that was produced by
the first trees was just so much lost
growth so far as apple production was
concerned.
! have observed that it is the uni
versal experience that it does not pay
to cramp trees. Give each tree all
the room it needs, if fruit is wanted.

Wounds on Fruit Trees.

An eastern fruit grower says:
Wounds of any considerable size
should be given a coating Of paint or
some other durable substance. A suit
able dressing must possess two dis
tinct properties. 1t must check the
weatkering of the wound and prevent
the growth of bacteria and fungi. and
1t must be of such a nature as not to
injure the surrounding bark. The
dressing is of no value in the healing
OF the wound, except as it prevents
decay. For general purposes, white
lead paint is most satisfactory. 1t is
an antiseptic, and it adheres closely
to the wood. Wax. shellac, tallow. ETC.,
are lacking in both respects. Bor-
deaux mixture would be an admirable
material for this purpose IL it were
more durable.

Doctorina Trees With Chemicals.

Doctoring Trees With Chemicals.
More than a year ago we called at
IGNITION TO the fact that certain COM.
Dany of men were selling to the farm
ers process for doctoring trees with
chemical compound, says the Far
ners' Review. The plan was TO bore
hole in the tree ana insert in 1t
some kind of mysterious compound.
Generally the loading agent of the
company went TO the orchard, bored
me hole in the trees himself and in
serted the compound. He claimed that
this would protect the trees from all
KINDS OF blights and all kinds of in
pects. He charged for his work so
cents per tree, but literally allowed
the orchardist to pay half down and
the rest some months later. The alb.
surdlty OF the thing should have pre-
vented farmers from taking up with
the scheme. We published warning
At the time these men entered the
field.
soon we began to receive letters
rom Michigan saying that the agents
were working there and that thou.
sands OF trees were being treated by
them. In a visit to southern MIGHT.
gan the editor of the Farmers Review
discussed the matter with many
orchardists and with the director Of
the substation at South Haven Mr..
tarrand as well as other experienced
2rchardists warned the fruit dealers to
beware OF the fraud, but the agent had
persuaded SO many of them that many
hundreds OF orchardists purchased
sheAreatment from the agent. In one
county alone 10000 trees were treated.
Inis represented $4,000, of which half
was paid down, the agent thus receiv.
Ing $500.
Later few trees were treated on
the experimental farm and the COM
pounds were actually taken out and
.naiyzed by the experiment station
men. The compound was found to con-
slst or some very simple chemical, a
chemical which could in no way affect
the health of the tree. The thing was
sWindle pure and simple. 1t was re.
ported that the agent never returned
TO collect the other so per cent. 1t is
probable that he never will attempt
10 collect it, and it is further probable
mat he never intended to collect 1t.
1t proved mistake, however, to
allow trees to be treated on the ex.
perimental farm, as it gave these
agents an opportunity to say when
they went to the eastern states to be-
gin their work that the process had
been tried and approved at the Mich.
jgan station
We hope that this lesson, though
costly to the fruit growers of southern
Michigan, will prove of some value to
other fruit growers that may have the
opportunity to waste their money
upon the same kind Of treatment.
The idea is not new one and has
been worked in various forms in diff
ferent parts of the country for a great
many years. AS 1t has proved so ex-
ceedingly valuable to the men who
claim to know the secret, it is certain
that they or others will continue to
work 1t from time to time in various
parts of the country.

creamery MIX suppIY.


No creamery should be established
where the milk from 400 or 500 cows
cannot be obtained. Fifteen years ago
II was believed that creamery could
be successfully run on the milk from
200 to $50 COWS That may have been
so at that time, but at the present
time the expenses OF running a cream
cry are very much greater than they
were fifteen years ago. The wages OF
men have advanced very much and
creamery supplies have in some cases
doubled In price. The commissions
for selling butter are larger than they
were. because il costs more to run
the establishments of the commission
men. 1t therefore requires larger
volume OF milk to produce the same
amount Of revenue. Investigations in
the State of Iowa show that large
number of creameries supplied by less
than 500 cows have been compelled to
suspend operations, due to the fact
that they could not secure enough milk
TO yield them profit on their bust
ness, 1t is for the advantage OF the
farmer to have his creamery supplied
by as many cows as possible, for the
reason that the less the cost of max.
ing pound OF butter the greater will
be the price of milk received by the
farmer. Thus in the largest factories
e costs only one cent per pound for
making butter. This Is equal to four
cents per cwt. OF milk. In some OF the
smaller creameries II costs as much
as $.025 for making a pound of butter.
Every farmer should encourage his
neighbors to keep more cows If they
are supplying milk to the creamery.
In some cases farmers that are promi.
nent in the production Of milk seem
TO have jealousy in relation TO the
matter. they being prominent in that
line. But they should understand that
the more cows kept the better il Is for
them. The other men are not com.
peting with them In the production OF
milk, but are cooperating with them;
what benefits. one will benefit the
others. Large creameries seldom fall
This is because they are able to sell
all their products to the greatest pos.
sible advantage. They are able to dis.
pose of their buttermilk at large prices
because they can send it in consider.
able quantities to distant markets,
where they can secure permanent Gus.
toners. The small creamery is un.
able to handle such trade, and when
they try it they frequently lose it be.
cause there comes time when they
are unable to supply the quantity de-
manded.
The very foundation of successful
creamery work is large milk supply.
and every man interested in the
creamery, whether he be the manager
butter-maker or patron, should labor
for the increase of the milk supply
The limited milk supply is the danger
point. 1t Is at this point that the
creamery is more likely to fail than al
any other, and il the amount Of milk
be too limited to yield profit on the
returns, no kind of fine butter-making
no amount of skill in selling, and nc
| measure of cleanliness about the fac.
tory can prevent its being failure ip

however, be possible that tuberculin

Hampshire Experiment station, cows
that had been tested with tuberculin,
found tuberculous and segregated SO

failed to react to the tuberculin test.
Aftsrward, when these animals were
killed, it was found that they had

disease.
Some carloads of cattle from Wis.

Brewers Grains VS.. DistiIIers' eralns.

Both brewers grains and distillers'
grains are on our markets, and the
dairyman frequently asks him sci!
which b will find more profitable t.
feed. This is question that will PAP
any dairyman to study, as the prices
vary so greatly that he can sometimes
feed one to advantage and sometimec
the other. While distillers' grains cor
sist mostly of corn, brewers grain co:e
sists largely of barley. Although brs-
ley is higher in protein than corn, ct
after the brewing has been done, TIE
grain contains more carbohydrates,
that is, fat-forming material, than the
distillers' grains. For ordinary feed.
ing. therefore. brewers grains are lese
valuable than distillers' grains, but thk
prices OF those two are generally far
apart. When dried brewers grains
have been selling at $50, dried distil
lers' grains have been selling as high
as $2S. The loss, therefore. is on tho
side of feeding distillers' grains a,
