FumiEaffng the Orchard.

The insect tax upon this country's
agricultural interests is something
stupendous. Indeed, were it not for the
ravages Of insects, great and small, the
life and profits Of the horticulturist
would be SO attractive as to completely
change the present attitude toward
their occupation. The government eX-
perts are doing an enormous amount of
educative work In determining the ex-
act organisms that are responsible for
each particular form of damage and
the best method of combating same. Flu

Profit in Forest Thinning.

A bulletin entitled Improvement
Thinning" has been issued by the State
forester of Massachusetts, The author
shows that the growth on considerable
areas can be improved and made more
productive by the application of moder-
ate thinning while the stands are in the
process of development. Thin as often
as the material to be removed will pay
for its removal is the rule laid down
as to how often to thin. As to the de-
gree to which it is safe to thin, the
cover should never be broken to such
an extent that it will not close again in
two or three years and cast a dense
shade. In answer to the objection that
is sometimes urged that such work is
impracticable under existing conditions
of the labor and wood market, the au-
thor refers to the fact that thinning
has been done and is going on now in
Massachusetts and neighboring States,
and that it has not only paid for itself,
but has in some instances yielded net
profit of from twenty-five cents to 50 on
each cord of wood removed.

NEW YORK CITY A CITY OF ISLANDS
Some of Them Mere Dots, Others as Big
as Separate Cities.

No large city in the world has so many
islands within its municipal boundaries
as New York. Some of these islands are
mere dots. Others are large enough to
have almost the dimensions of cities.
Governors island. with an area of sew
enty acres, Is the property of the federal
government and is assessed at $500 900
by the city. which is $4,000 an acre.
and as land values go within New York
that figure is low.
Blackwelrs island. which covers 124
acres, is valued at S12.O00,000. which is
at the rate of nearly S91 900 an acre
Wards island is valued at $4,000. 600
and Randalfs at $5.000,0OO. North
Brother island is valued at 5000
Rikers island at $537 900, and Harris
island at $3.50. 900.
The most important of the islands in

Greater New York is, of course, Man
haitian island. the value of which is prac-
tically incalculable. 1t is at least So

The borough of Brooklyn includes
Coney island. The whole of the borough
of Richmond is an island, an island

Travelling school of Agriculture
Cornell University in New York will
this summer make an entirely new and
somewhat unique departure in It's agri
cultural work Following a petition
signed by seventeen students who were
DESTROYS of becoming acquainted with
agricultural conditions existing In diff
ferent portions of the United States,
the college will send out a special car,
lifted with the accommodations for the
housing and study equipment Of the stu
dents during their trip. 1t has been
styled travelling school of agriculture.
Those in charge plan to start on the
trip about the list Of July, the itinerary
being planned with Il view to covering
about eight weeks, while the cost per
student is placed at about $500 The
car will go from Ithaca to Buffalo and
through Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia, Pennsylvania and back home
In way this experiment will be along
the line of the seed corn and good road
special trains which have been in oper-
alton on many lines Of road in the up
per Mississippi valley during the past
two years, proving both popular and
greatly beneficial to the agricultural in
terests of the localities visited. The
course of agricultural instruction con-
templated in the above tour will give
the students who take advantage Of it
first hand and intimate as we'll as ex-
tensive acquaintance with the condi-
tions and methods of agriculture cover
ing the whole country and will give a
breadth Of view and a fund Of practical
information that could hardly be got
from study in one place or in one

Many farmers make the mistake of
feeding stock food or other similar mix
lures to horses when they seem to have
difficulty in eating, when what the ami
NAL needs is to have his teeth cared for
by competent veterinarian A horse
whose teeth are out of order, bolts
much of its food because it cannot mas
ticate it, hence the food taken does lit
tie or no good and the animal loses
both flesh and energy. If the horse is
trying to eat and is not keeping up its
vigor better look to its teeth, for in
nine cases out of ten here is where the
trouble lies.

Drought Rather than Moisture.
1t is much easier for one to be indie
pendent of dry weather than of wet I'M
less the soil is naturally wet, so that
it may be pipe drained and thus get rid
of the excessive moisture and this is an
expensive operation, but, notwithstand-
ing, q most desirable one in the end.
Potato growers are perhaps more inter
ested in the problem of how to battle
with dry weather than growers of any
other crop and, under normal condi-
tons, the secret is simply to see that
the soil is properly supplied with hui
mus or Vegetable matter.
1t is folly, or will be found SO after a
few years, to attempt to grow potatoes
on the same ground year after year or
to grow them wholly by the aid Of COM
mercial fertilizers. Here is where it
grow clover for getting heavy crops Of
clover under the soil will add the re-
quired humus, which, in connection
with first-class seed, care and cultiva-
ton, will enable one to grow heavy
crops of potatoes in normal seasons and
better than your neighbours in dry sea-
sons.
This question of getting humus into
or later by every farmer and especial
ly by those who pin their faith very
largely to commercial fertilizers.

RYE for Pasture.

The early rye always shows itself
soon after the weather begins to moder-

usually then begin to use it for pastur-
age. 1t is a mistake to use the rye too
early, as it may cause scours. It is very
laxative In its effects, being watery, and
change from dry feed to young rye
very early in the season may result in
