Netting for Cherry Trees

While birds are generally conceded to
do the farmer more good than harm
keeping in check insect enemies that
would often destroy entire crops, in re-
turn for the little seed and fruit he is
reputed 10 require, some experiments
made in Iowa on a cherry farm appear
to indicate that the birds appetite for
cherries is amazingly large The trees
on which the tests were conducted were
enveloped in a light weight block fish
netting. with openings too small for
birds to get through. The covered trees
yielded fully 60 per cent. more fruit
than the unprotected trees, and repe-
tition of the experiment in hetfollowing
year with the protection on the other
trees practically confirmed this result

The celery plant is composed of over
80 per cent. of water. To secure such

food. This must be in constant supply
during growing season to develop per-

How One Farmer Prosnered.

The Sussex IN. ~ Independent tells
of a farmer in that county whose check
would be good for $4,000, who has never
used pounu of feed that was not pro.
duced on his farm. He raises all his own
live stock, with the exception of horses.
If he has not sufficient grain to carry
him through, he sells some of the stock
and thus keeps up with the game. He
sells his milk to creamery, keeps just
what his farm will support in the way
of cows, raises his own pork, and always
has cellar full of necessaries. He has
always farmed in this way, and has
never made less than $500 year clear
in his life. He has always lived on the
same farm. % z*. ;@5ys n.= !.
