FREQUENT SPRAYINGS.
Advice for the Orchardist Which
Should Be Followed as He Begins
the Fighting of Insect Pests.

The novice in spraying cannot afford
TO be so careless about his sprayings
that he will miss the end for which he
is working. Neither should he try to
get along with the fewest possible num-
Der of sprayings. The best sprayers
have indeed reduced the number to the
minimum, but they are experienced
men that have learned to make every
spraying count for the most possible
In many cases it has been found that
so far as the orchard is concerned, four
sprayings in spring give the greatest re-
turns, while spraying every two weeks
from the middle of April to the middle of
August give the greatest proportion of
perfect fruit, says the Farmers Review.
The additional sprayings cost more than
the additional fruit is worth, as a gen.
eral thing
Taking all things into consideration,
the method that will pay the best con-
sists in spraying the trees as soon as the
blossoms fall and then every two weeks
till four sprayings have been given. The
sprayings must be well done if they are
to be of any value. Slipshod work will
not prove effective in preventing the
ravaSes of insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is never
profitable. 1t requires mature judgment
and thoroughness to do the work as it
should be done.

ROAD REPAIRING.
bow the Road Problem Has Been
Solved Successfully in One Coun-
ty in Indiana

In certain county in Indiana the
people were agreeably surprised at the
outcome of an experiment, or rather an
innovation, writes c. NJ Ginther, in
Farm and Fireside. 1t had always been
the custom in the township to elect
farmers to the Office of road director, or
supervisor. Notwithstanding there
was an abundance of excellent gravel
close at hand. the roads were in bad con-
d1tion. So bad had they become that
number of places were actually impassa-
Die at time when such a condition
should not in any reason have prevailed.
How the idea started is not known, but
the word was passed around that
change was desired in the kind of man to
be voted for. Farmers had always held
the office, but the idea was presented
that it would be fair to consider men,
Der OF some other class or profession as
being eligible to the place. Consequent
'ly, after much planning, a physician
with an experience of 80 years practice
was selected as the candidate for the
place. He was elected, and at once as
'sumed his new duties. He declared that

EXPERIMENT. IN FORESTRY.
Has Culled Again and Again and
Still Has Timber to Sell.

An interesting example of the profit
ableness of conservative forest manage
ment in this country is furnished by DR..
S. B. Caldwell, of Paducah, KY, who
has dealt in timberlands in the south
western part of the state for SO
years. I'm 1S47," says DR.. Caldwell, Il
sold timber from a tract of land at one
dollar an acre, the purchaser having the
privilege of removing what he wanted
and leaving what he did not want. He
took the choice trees, but left consider
able amount standing. In 1870 l sold
the timber from the same tract and got
for it two dollars tree. The purchaser
removed an average of three trees per
acre. In 1884 sold the timber from the
same tract for the third time and got for
1T as much as | had received at the Sec
ond SALE
DR.. Caldwell's experience in the woods
taught him long ago the wisdom of con-
seryatiye forest management. Thirty
years ago when he came into possession
of tract of about 700 acres near Pa
ducah. he sold quantity of the timber
for wagon stock. AT that time forestry
in this country was virtually unknown.
DIR. Caldwell, however, was sufficiently
foresighted to allow no trees to be cut
except those which he selected. He went
about in the woods and picked out trees
whose tops and general appearance
showed they had passed their period of
greatest vigor, and trees which inter-
Tered with promising young growth
His forest has been culled a number OF
times in the past 80 years, but so wisely
has the cutting been done that to-day the
land will average from 10000 to $1,000
board feet per acre. This was an expert
ment in forestry which has amply justi-
fed itself and shows how a shrewd,
far-slghted man may, even without tech
meal advice, secure good returns from
his woodland without impairing its pro-
ductiVe value and while putting himself
IN position to profit by the steady rise
which is taking place in timber values.

in Western Canada.

Canada's thrush this year is wonder
fully great and considerably ahead OF
any previous year. 1t is always inter-
esting to those who contemplate moving
toread expressions of opinion from those
living in the country. 1t is therefore our
pleasure to reproduce the following
written to an Agent of the Government
and forwarded to the immigration
Branch OF the Department OF the In
terror at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask, Can, Feb. /, 1905.
Dear Sir: take pleasure in dropping
you few lines to let you know how We
are getting along up here and how we
like the place. We have been here close
on to q year now and think the place n
fine. We have been out every day this
winter working in the bush getting out
logs for buildings, etc., getting rails for
fencing. We have not suffered with the
cold as much as we did in Chicago. Ny
little boys are out every day with their
sleighs having good time. The low
est the temperature has been this WIN
ter is 81 below and it is very still, no
wind.
We had a splendid summer. We put
up about so tons of hay and will have
about 80 tons to sell; hay brings $500
per ton now and will be higher in the
spring. We have 20 acres broke and
ready for crop. We worked on the Can.
Nor. Ry. for awhile this summer and
am just miles from the R. r. and
townsite. The steel is all laid to within
miles of the River and we often SEQ
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up about
May. wish you would write them and
If there should be anyone coming to
Prince Albert that could do with half
car let them know. The homesteads
are all taken up within II miles of us.
I often think if this land were only In
the States what a rush there would be;
it is the richest land and the most pro-
ductive l ever saw, and the climate Ia

know that people back there that
write to do not believe me when write
them what a splendid winter we are
having, they think we are all frozen up.
We have only about inches of snow,
and there are cattle on the range that
have not been rounded up this winter.
| Day after day the Their. raises up to
| 80 and 60, and l don't believe we have
| had day this winter that it has stayed
at zero. My wife says that we used to
| think that zero was cold in Chicago. But
we don't mind it one bit. Christmas
| night we went out and drove miles
with our little boys, it was 20 below
and there was not whimper from any
one of them. I'd hate to do 1t in old

The few COWS on every farm are the

The average cow under the average

Pipes for Mourners.

A very curious old custom is asso-
ciated with interments in the cemetery
of Labruck, Connemara, Ireland A
box of pipes-short clays-is brought
with each coffin, and a pipe with to-
bacco served out to the mourners. The
pipes are smoked in silence after the
earth has been filled in and q mound
of stones raised above the grass; the
ashes are solemnly knocked out on top
and the pipes broken or left behind.
The origin of this custom is unknown,
but it is thought to be. emblematic
