Wounds on Fruit Trees.

An eastern fruit grower says
wounds Of any considerable size
should be given a coat Of paint or some
other durable substance. A suitable
dressing must possess two distinct
properties. 1t must check the wealth
ering Of the wound and prevent the
growth Of bacteria and fungi and it
must be Of such a nature as not to in
jure the surrounding bark. The dress
ing 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 adheres
closely to the wood. Wax, shellac, tai
low, ETC., are lacking in both respects.
Bordeaux mixture would be an admira-
BILE material for this purpose If 1t were
more durable"

We have always had a preference
for having the nests of sitters low
down, II possible, on the ground. In
some cases we have scattered barrels,
laid on their sides and slightly sunk
into the ground, all over the orchard,
which served as a run for our laying
hens. The hens would select them for
nests, and when they became broody,
could be allowed to sit and hatch, and
take care Of their brood for at least a
few weeks, right In the nest of their
own selection. In the Matching room,
too, we have regularly endeavored to
have the nests near the ground, and
If possible on the natural earth floor (;
or If in tiers, at least the lower one
on the ground. Eggs usually hatch
well on' the natural earth floor. A
reader Of the Farmer, William Elwick,
Of Hankinson, N. Dak., gives herewith
plan Of coop for sitting hens, that
may prove decidedly serviceable In
many cases. He makes these coops In
rows, 18 feet long, 10 nests in row,
and 16 inches square. The nests are
covered by a board 10 inches. wide by
10 feet long, and inclosed by slide

, Waste of Feed,

Straw, corn fodder and rough hay
are known as coarse foods, because
much Of such foods contain either an
excess Of woody fiber and little nu-
triton in proportion to the bulk, or are
not as readily eaten by stock as is good
hay or food Of better quality. For
this reason there is large waste Of
valuable feeding material in the Unit
ed States that might be saved and
used II proper attention is given to
the preparation Of foods and the COM
bining Of the different materials in a
manner by which all can be utilized,
and corresponding gain in meat or
milk thereby secured. Millions Of
stacks Of straw and a still larger num-
Der Of Shocks" or corn fodder rot in
the fields, or are damaged in a manner
to render the food valueless, though all
Of such could be made to perform serv-

Effects of Manure on Lands.

Organic matter in manure seems to
be chiefly to make the land work bet
ter, and in absorbing and retaining the
moisture. So many are disposed to at
tach a mysterious value to the excre-
ments Of animals, and to think that
some special properties are impaired
to these in the transformation of food
through the body of the animal, that
they will not readily accept the Idea
that the manuring properties of dung
are confined to the chemical salts
which it contains. 1t must be borne
in mind that experimental fields re-
ceive no manure, nor does any animal
enter them, except the horses which
cultivate them and carry off the crop.
Unless, therefore, the plants can thrive
on chemical salts, they could not be
there.

One of the most interesting develop
ments OF the pure food movement is
the plan Of the American Federation
of Labor to spread information about
adulterated foodstuffs among It's men,
bers. Specific, not general, statements
are what the federation has in mind,
and they are what are most needed.
Many of the states which already have
pure food laws and enforce them, are
accustomed to issue, through the state
board of health, printed lists of arti-
cles which have been found on examin-
alton to be adulterated. But these lists
If they receive any publicity at all
receive only SO much as may be con-
ferred by the local papers, and not
all papers are fearless and public
spirited. The federation rightly takes
the view that there are no citizens
whose Interests are so closely affected
by food adulteration as the laboring
classes, since they have to consider
prices; and it purposes, II somebody's
pure Vermont maple sirup proves to
he half glucose and the rest brown su-
gar, to tell Its members the truth about

1t Is an interesting story that comes
to us from Philadelphia how a little
boy who was to all appearances hope
lessly malicious has been made gentle.
kind and benevolent by a surgical oper-
alton His name is Spurgeon Welty,
he Is IL years old and his home is at
Nazareth, Pa. What the particular acts
of cruelty were which made him
burden to his family and q terror to
society we are not informed but they
were ultimately traced to an injury to
his brain which he sustained several
years ago by falling from a hayrack
and striking his head Immediately over
the chronological organ-just back of
and above the right ear-supposed to
represent conscience. After much de-
bate, no doubt, little Spurgeon was
taken to Philadelphia and there DR..
Ernest La Place bored hole In his
skull over the injured portion, relieved
the pressure on the brain and forth.
with the little patient became as
amlable as anybody's little boy in all
the world. About the chronological
element In this account we are skep-
tical. Phrenology can hardly be called
science now and 1t never can be
science until the science of mind Is
assured. Until we have properly ana
lyzed our faculties and their relation
to each other 1t Is useless to pretend
to assign each Of them a place In the
brain, and even then 1t Is almost i'm.
possible to assign 1t place on the
skull. That the human conscience has
any special relation to that part of
the brain behind and above the ears
is not at all likely, but that an abnor.
NAL pressure upon that or any other
part Of the brain may produce irrita-
bility of the temper and manifestations
Of malice and rage Is too well known
to be argued. The insane asylums con-
tain many homicidal maniacs who have
been made such by injuries to the
skull. This should not be considered
wonderful when 1t Is well known that
even by such gentle and transient
force as is exerted by food and drink
a PERSONS whole moral character may
be temporarily transformed. 1t is
common thing for men to put things
down their throats which cause them
to murder their wives and children or
to plunge into immortality which is
more unkind than murder itself. Nor is
this all, for character-even moral
character-is Influenced by everything
we see and hear. If we consider
mans moral character as the product
of his nature multiplied by his habits
and experiences we shall have to make
his nature much the smallest factor.
We have been called the creatures of
circumstances and we are not far from
| that. The most important value Of
such speculations results from their
bearing on human accountability and
| the punishment Of crime. If we nre
the creatures of circumstances Is any
thing that we do either morally right
or morally wrong? The answer Is that
this Is a question about words. Right
and wrong actions remain what they
are in spite Of all theories They still
excite our approval or disapproval, no
matter what we show about heredity,
environment, immoral food and surgi-
cal operations. Right is right and
wrong Is wrong and must be rewarded
and punished as such to the end Of
time. Our moral instincts will always
be supreme.

yyateY for Horses I'm summer,

If one will stop to think how hard
1t is to go through the work of the
morning in a dry, dusty field on hot
day without drink, one will then have
an idea Of how horses feel under the
same conditions. An excellent plan of
feeding and watering the horse during
the warm weather is to give them wa
ter in the morning, then the hay and
then the grain; at noon the WAIT,
little hay and then the grain and at
night the water, the grain and some
time afterward, usually two hours or
more, all the hay the animal will eat
up clean. 1t will be noticed that the
water always precedes the meal of
hay and grain. During the forenoon
and during the afternoon the horses
should have at least one cooling drink
1t will do them no harm and they will
do all the better work in consequence !;
then, at night, see that they are prop
erly groomed and that they have a
good, comfortable bed for their tired
bodies. Treated in this manner, one
will get full days work from every
horse and he will not suffer from it.

Green Food for Small Chicks.

AS soon as the little chick begins tc
grow feathers, that is, after the down
age is past, green food is quite neces-
sary to its happiness. If there is no
danger Of the bird being chilled or get
ting wet, then let 1t have the grassy
run to pick over; even If the weather is
cool, 1t will do no harm to let the chicks
on to the grass in the warm part Of the
day, but they must be watched, so that
they do not stay too long and become
chilled. One Of the most successful
poultrymen we know makes 1t a prac-
tice to grow quantity Of lettuce in
hotbeds especially for feeding his young
chicks for green food. This seems to be
a good plan in his case, because his
birds are Matched very early, before it
Is fit to turn them on to the grass.
Don't attempt to raise young chicks
wholly on grain.
