Extreme Claims.

A writer on Buff Leghorns says:
The Buff Leghorns will produce more
ggs any time in the year than any
jther breed under similar circum
stances" This is a sample of ex
rene claims loosely made for all
Kinds of breeds. The fact is. that this
merely an assertion that 1t is i'm
possible for any man to prove and i'm
possible for any man to deny; for the
simple reason that statistics on such
natters are almost wholly lacking
such assertions are of very little
alue, and they deceive no one. Every
ran that understands poultry raising
Understands that we know little abouI
he comparative merits of different
breeds. 1t will take thousands OF ex
Jeriments with multitudes of birds
aging eggs for a series of years to
i've data that would be really valua
lie. We advise writer's on poultry
opics and writer's of advertisements
avoid these extreme claims, which

PRUNING Pear Trees.

w. H. Deck of Nebraska asks
What shall do with my pear trees
prune them the same as apple ant
other trees, or less, or more, or not a,
all?"
The question Is very indefinite, as
he says apple or other trees" anf
that includes wide range. Also h,
does not say whether his pear trees
are newly set or well-grown. TIL,
pear tree should be pruned to keel
down the amount of bearing wood and
to keep the top from growing toe
thick. The sun should be let in
enough to ripen the pears. Different
varieties of pear trees differ greatly
as we see by comparing the growth OF
the body Of Lincoln and Sudduth
pear tree. Some varieties of pear
trees have such perfectly shaped heads
that they are true ornaments and the
pruning should be only enough to keer
down the too great development OF
wood. Some men never prime theil
pear trees. Large limbs should never
be removed unless it becomes abso.
lutely necessary, while small limbs
and branches may be cut off at an,
time. We would like to hear from
some of our pear-growers on this mat,

Thousands of American women, how.
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. 1t cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga, writes:
"Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetab Compound
is a true friend to woman. 1t has been OF
great benefit to me, curing me of irregular
and painful periods when everything else had
failed, and | gladly recommend 1t to other
suffering women"
Women who are troubled with pain

Axle Grease Killed Peach Trees.

In answer to R. H. Kline of John
son county, Mo-, advising the use OF
axle grease on young trees to prevent
rabbits gnawing them, | would say
don't. We killed 230 young peach
trees with axle grease one winter, and
that settled the question forever with
us. or course there may be some par
ticular brand of grease which will MOI
kill the trees, but not every one car
know which it is. Grease in any shape
is Objectionable to young trees. Hogs

Poultry Notes.

One often sees wood ashes used In
the poultry house In winter, either
combined with the manure to keep 1t
in good condition for use In the gar
den, or scattered on the shelves be-
meath the roosts to make them easy
TO clean. This is a great mistake. as
much OF the value of the manure Is
lost on account of the chemical change
caused by the union of the two sub.
stances. 1t causes the ammonia in the
manure to be liberated and 1t passes
on into the air and is lost. Not only
that, but the ammonia is not good
thing for the fowls when they are
confined In such close quarters. Saw.
dust. dry earth, dead leaves or coal
ashes may be safely used, as they
cause the loss of no valuable ele.
ments.
We feed all nuts left after the sea.
son is over to the fowls, cracking
them very fine, sosthat they can clean
all the meats out. Walnuts and but.
ternuts are easiest for them to han.
die, but they also get much good from
hickory and hazelnuts. The nuts sup.
ply an element that the fowls can
otherwise get only in meat, bugs and
worms, and being fed In winter when
such food is hard to get, forms a
valuable addition to their rations,
For a change we often soak the
grain fed the fowls. letting 1t remain
In water for day or two before feed.
Ing. Occasionally corn, oats and
wheat are roasted so that much OF the
grain is charred on the outside.
| They eat 1t greedily, and besides
changing the diet, the charcoal Is a
great benefit to fowls, preventing in,
digestion and keeping them healthy.
Ordinary charcoal broken In small
bits is also given occasionally, being
| placed In hot oven for few min,
utes before being fed, so that all
dampness is removed and the char,
coal put In condition to give the best
results.
A short time ago we had some OF
the chickens which are being fed on
milk alone, and though the work is not
practical for everybody 1t is provinl
a paying business for those who are
now In 1t.
| A large firm In the meat packing
business has very large farm where
thousands Of chickens arc raised and
thousands more are purchased from
the farmers when very small They
are fed on nothing but new milk with
all the cream in 1t, the farmers bring
ing their milk the same as to cream

The chickens are never fed grain or

way few times, the chicks will rur

The flesh of such chickens is very

a glance that they were not ordinary

Comparative Growth Of Trees.

A man interested in the growing OF
trees will find it instructive to study
the comparative growth of trees In
forest clumps or in open lawns. He
VIII find the one no comparison Tor
the other. A tree planted on the lawn
has some light on all sides of 1t. 1t
probably grows in diameter many
times more rapidly than the tree in
the forest Trees in tile forests are
by nature sown thickly, sometimes
10000 seedlings, a few inches high,
growing on single acre OF land. In
he course of IL years most OF these
are killed out and the number is re-
1000 or 5000 trees on an acre is a
great many. Four thousand trees on
an acre will give nearly square yard
to each tree and 1t is not unusual to
find forests thus thickly planted. In
such a case, however, the tree re-
ceives its light mostly from the top,
and this accounts for its slow growth.
The side branches are small, and the
twigs far apart and with scant leaves
The real head of the tree Is at the
top, and that may expand for only a
few feet in each direction. The num-
Der of leaves is comparatively small.
The slow growth of the tree Is caused
by the fact that all food for the in
crease of cell structure must first be
elaborated in the leaves, and these
leaves are few. The amount Of work
| that a single leaf can do in season
is extremely limited. 1t is not sur
prising therefore to learn that the
red spruce tree eighteen inches In
| diameter growing in the forest with
other trees has required $50 years to
reach that size. Men familiar with
the slow growing Of forest trees have
been astonished at the rapid develop
ment Of trees planted in the open
Thus, maple tree given an abun'
dance of room develops hundreds OF
thousands thrifty leaves on all sides
| Sometimes these leaves are so thick
| ~ arrayed that one cannot see
through the branches of the tree. II
must be remembered that each Leaf

gagged in celebrating material for cell
| building, and that this food already
prepared for use by the tree is sent
down in immense quantities every day
during the growing season of the
leaves. This should be lesson to
those who wish to have good shade
trees in few years. 1t does not pay
| to crowd shade trees. Give them an
abundance of room. No maple tree
or city lawn should be planted near
or than fifty feet to another tree of the
same kind. Elm trees may be planted
somewhat closer, as their branche;
are more open and one tree does mo-
seriously interfere with another tree
in its development. The man tina
wants single beautiful tree at some
point in his lawn should plant i
where it will have an abundance O.
light at all times of the day and II
will then develop symmetrically an(
will grow with astonishing rapidity.
