The Destructive Rat,

Housewives in the country some
times complain that poultry raising Is
a great care on account of the losses
that occur among the young chicks
largely due to the presence OF rats.
The rat is far harder to hedge against
than the cat. A good strong parti.
ton to the poultry house or a good
wire fence around the poultry yard
will keep out cats, but these have lit.
tie effect in checking the depredations
OF rats. They can gnaw through the
partition and tunnel under the wire
fence and do the work SO expeditiously
that the damage to the flock Is done
before the farmer has had time to take
combative measures. Then when he
begins to fight the rodents he finds
that the process Is not a smooth one.
The animals avoid the steel trap and
the wire cage. Poison is the only
thing that seems to be effective, and
the farmer hesitates about employing
this, as he is afraid Of hurting other
animals. But this method Of destruc
ton will be found to be about the only
effective one II the rats are very mum.
erous. II poison is used 1t should be
placed where only the rats can get ae
cess to Il.

Prune Gooseberry Bushes.

II the pruning of gooseberries Is
neglected, the bushes fill up with wood
and the berries become small and diff.
ficult to pick. The fruit is produced
from lateral buds ON one-year-old
wood, and also in short spurs on wood
two or more years old. The same
spur may produce fruit for three or
four years If the strength of the bush
is maintained by proper fertilizing and
pruning. The first two crops from a
given spur are, however, usually the
best. The new wood which Is pro-
duced in a gooseberry bush each sea-
son appears as new branches arising
from buds on the previous years
growth Of the canes already present,
or as new shoots arising from the
crown Of the bush. The new branches
on the old canes will produce fruit
from the lateral buds the year follow.
ing the one In which they develop.
The new shoots from the crown will
become fruiting canes when two years
old II allowed to grow. The new
branches on a comparatively young
cane are much stronger than those on
an old cane. After a cane has reach
ed the age of about five years, the
new growth is likely T. be short, weak
and unproductive. AS soon as a cane
shows signs Of weakening It should
be removed.-Farmers' Guide.

improving Poor Fruit Trees.

There are plenty of fruit trees that
ought to be robustly in their prime
that are In very poor condition. Some
people may also talk of cutting of
these weak trees and planting others,
but with such reasons this Is unneces-
sary. So long as the trees are healthy,
although inefficient, there Is every
chance Of their being renovated, and
great crops will be secured much
sooner from them than by planting
small and young trees. Pruning is one
Of the aids to improvement. The
growths may not be strong, but they
may be crowded, and this must be
relieved at once. 1t Is q first and
absolutely necessary step; then the
roots must be seen to. II turf grows
round the stems, remove 1t all to a
distance of IS inches or two feet out.
Take 1t away, and do not let 1t regrow.
The soil should then be dug away till
the roots are met with in quantity,
then fork liberal supply Of cow ma
nure among them. Bone manure is
also suitable as an artificial. Use
plenty, and In filling in give plenty
of manure among the soil. If the soil
is gravelly, try and refill over the
roots with loan, but do not place the
soil much further up the stem than It
was before. When any good liquid
manure is available, saturate the roots
thoroughly with 1t.

stuffing Fowls for WEIGHT.

II is not the man who keeps feed
before his fowls all the time who has
heavy birds, as birds, like people, do
not want to see what they are obliged
to eat all the time. And, again, they
soon tire of anything they are con.
stantly nibbling all the time, says the
Farmers Advocate.
Have stated times to feed and let
the fowls get hungry; then, by feed.
ing the right kind of feed In the right
way, you can have your birds up to
weight, and are liable to carry away
the blue. Many a would-be winner
loses the prize on account of Its
weight In the showroom.
Place not more than FIVE birds in q
coop 4x5 feet, with floor covered six
inches with straw, and change this
straw three times a week. This will
enable the birds to clean themselves
nicely In this coop. Have q box OF
good grit, watering dish, and keep
these two dishes well filled all the
time.
Now for the feed. Take equal parts
OF corn, wheat, oats and barley. Have
them ground together. Mix with wa.
ter or milk, and give the birds all
they will eat up. In fifteen minutes
take the dish away so they do not
even see It. Then at noon give them
another feed, and after fifteen min
utes take the dish away. Follow this
for ten days. giving them meat three
times a week, IL their combs are
small. II too large, do not feed meat
or bone, as 1t will make their combs
grow too large. This manner of feed
Ing can be continued two weeks, II
necessary, but not longer. II bird
gets of his feed, the Zig" Is up with
him. and 1t will be better to take him
out Of the pen.

Forcing Tomatoes.

Tomatoes have been forced as an
early summer crop at the Ohio exper-
iment station for about twelve years
with uniformly good results and the
product has been sold at remunerative
prices.
AT the station tomatoes forced In
spring and early summer have not
only sold readily but the cost of pro-
duction Is so much less at that season
than In mid-winter that they have
proven a very profitable vegetable for
forcing.
Greenhouse tomatoes, because of
superior quality, sell more readily and
at much higher prices than the south
ern grown product on the same mar
ket
At the station, tomatoes grown in
the spring have been much more prof
table than either lettuce or cucum.
bers grown at the same season.
The average yield has been over
two pounds per square foot and the
average price IL cents per pound.
Thus the returns have been more than
20 cents per square foot Of bench

over ground beds in earlier ripening OF

For q spring and early summer crop
the seed should be sown In fats about
the first Of December. The plants may
be pricked off into pots or fats, fats
being more economical. The second

pots.

Green Food In Winter.

The aim In feeding poultry In the
winter Is to give variety and come az
near to meeting summer conditions as
possible. Therefore. the providing Of
green food OF some sort for winter
feed should not be overlooked. Right
now Ia a good time to look after this
matter. Roots, such as turnips. man.
colds and sugar beets, can be fed to
advantage In The winter provided that
the poultry quarters are not too cold.
Cut the roots into halves and place
them on spikes or nails driven into
the walls so as to be In easy reach OF
the fowls. The poultry will pick out
the meat Of the beets with a relish.
Another source Of green food Is cab.
bage. They should, however, be fed
sparingly, because Of the danger Of
diarrhoea. Cabbage intended for feed
may be stored In root cellars or, where
the winters are not severe, In trenches
out OF doors, and covered with dirt and
leaves.
cooked and fed to advantage. On
many farms there are often guam
titles of small potatoes that are
wasted every Year that might as
we'll have been fed to the poul-
try during the winter months. Bright
clover and alfalfa hay chopped
up and placed in the scratching pens
are great helps in winter feeding.
Rape and kale sown in the early fall
can be used as a food in the early
winter. The neglect to give proper
amount Of green food or substitutes to
poultry in confinement causes much
sickness in the early spring.
