Treating Old Apple Trees.

German newspapers have been
publishing articles describing expert
ments looking to the improvement of
declining apple orchards of the Var
terland. A brief outline of the ex-
periments has been forwarded to the
department of commerce and labor
by Consul Mahin of Nottingham.
OF five long rows of apple trees,
he writes, one row was left untreat-
ed and the other four had different
combinations of manurings. The row
left unmanured gave 104 pounds Of
apples per tree during the five years
from 1900 to 1904. both inclusive.
and in the fifth year (19O4. which
was the year of maximum yield for
the entire orchard, the weight of ap-
pies per tree was flfty-iive pounds
and the number 294. The best re-
suits from manuring were obtained
by complete manure, consisting of
/ Is pounds of sulphate of ammonia.
! 1a pounds of basic Stag per tree per
annum. applied to the roots during
the winter. During the FIVE years the
yield per tree from this dressing was
l63 pounds of apples, while by the
fifth year the bearing increased to
4Ol apples weighing 105 pounds per
tree-that is, the weight of the ap-
pies per tree increased by manuring
from fifty-five pounds on the unman-
ured trees to 1O5 pounds on the man
ured tGees, or 90.9 per cent. while
the number of apples increased from
294 to 4O1 per tree. or thirty-six per
cent. The increase in average size
OF the apples is. remarkable. Those
from the unmanured trees averaged
2,9S ounces each. and those from
the manured trees 4.19 ounces each.

Honey Bee Habits.

The honey bee has numerous hab-

Probably the thing most annoying
TO the beekeeper is the swarming

dividing their forces so frequently
much more surplus honey could be
obtained, and the beekeeper would
teel more easy about his bees.
In producing comb honey in one

the bees into the section boxes, for
they seem loath to begin work in

This appliance consists of two
coops, each of which Is suitable for
the accommodation of a hen and her
brood They are set down on the
ground at any convenient distance
apart, say from three to five feet
asunder, and in such a position that
both fronts face the same direction
extending from one coop to the
other there is light frame of wood
resting on the roofs. and this frame
supports an awning of canvas, un-
bleached calico, oilcloth or any SIM
liar material. The awning forms a
roof over the space between the coops,
and also extends to the ground at
the back and hangs over the edge
few inches in front. Ample shade
and shelter are thus afforded the
chicks in both coops, the space be-
tween being common to both broods.
While the chicks are under a week
old, il it is so desired, they may be
confined to this sheltered space by
means of strip of wire netting
placed along the front, and thus
convenient feeding and exercising
ground is formed at very little ex-
pense. This arrangement does not
suit very well when the two broods
of chickens are of different ages. but
when hatched at the same time they
fraternize in the most amicable
manner imaginable, and yet do not
make the mistake of returning TO
the wrong coop

Gapes and Its Treatment.

The popular fallacy that incuba-
tor chickens ire immune from gapes
doubtless arises from the fact that
they are usually kept from the
ground until past the stage to be
troubled. Turn an incubator chicken
loose on ground where chicks with
gapes have r;n within two or three
years, and they will soon be gaping:
keep the hen with her brood on board
floors or ground not infested, and
they are safe.
The oisefse as is generally under
stood, is caused by small worm
which lodges in the windpipe. Some
adopts remove the offender with q
skilful turn of feather or loop of

Neglected African Elephant.

The African elephant has always
been held to be inferior in intelli-
gence to the Indian species, and in
capable of being trained. The Congo
authorities, after falling to acclima-
tie herd of imported Indian ele-
plants, are experimenting with the
indigenous stock. The experiment
seems likely to prove unexpectedly
successful. 1wenty-eight young ele-
plants are now being trained, and
some of them have already been used
with success on railway works,
though they have apparently none OF
them been yet educated for as long
as twelve months.--New York Tri-

ELEPHANT HIDE AND SEEK.

Captain Speedy, of the British
army, writes in Harper's of some OF
his adventures while hunting ele-
plants in North Africa. On one occa-
sion he was chased by a huge one,
in imminent danger Of being over
taken, when he tripped and fell neal
a large tree trunk lying prone on the
sand. He rolled under it just In time
to escape the elephant, who ran from
one side of the trunk to the other in
pursuit Of him. This game of hide
and-seek continued for some time,
and Captain Speedy edmits that,
though It might have seemed funny
to bystandGr, it was far from anus
ing to him, as he expected each
moment to be reached by the excited
monster. The elephant finally gave
it up and changed his method Of
attack. and though he was eventually
shot by his victim, he gave a very
bad half hour to brave hunter and
soldier.
