Points In Fruit Growing.

In pruning young apple trees do not
cut back the limbs when it may be
avoided if early bearing is desired.
Fruit buds first form near the ends of
the older branches and multiply back
in succeeding years. If cut back, the
new growth needs two or three sea
sons to gain sufficient maturity to form
fruit spurs. Thin out branches VIII,
necessary and keep tree in shape wit
out sacrificing leaders French crab
stock-the genuine imported ones-are
less likely to be troubled with woolly
aphis and crown gall than western
stocks. Don't let your Kieffer pear
trees bear heavily too young. Prunn
or thin fruits severely until trees are
seven years old, advises Rural New
Yorker. They must have good tops
and roots to bear full crop without in
jury.

found on dewherfies and blackberries
as well as on forest growth.

AILMENTS OF cows.
Precautions to Take to Prevent MIX
Fever. Garrett Etc.

Precautions to Take to Prevent MIX
Fever, Garget, Etc.
OF the different diseases to which a
COW is liable. none is dreaded much
more than garget, because it usually
attacks the best mixers and often
leaves a permanent injury to their
productive capacity. writes G. S. Corn
.all in the American Farm World. IL
4 record is kept of the date Of breed
ing each COW. as it should be, 1t will
be an easy mater to regulate the diet
so as to prevent milk fever, garget and
like ailments.
AS soon as the COW is allowed to go
dry, she should be fed on a generous
ration of forage and grain, which will
give her strength and furnish suitable
nutrition for the coming calf. We are
speaking now of the COW coming fresh
when not ON grass. The week before
she is due to calve it is well to feed a
little more sparingly of the foods
which stimulate milk production and
keep close watch of the udder, and if
toward the last there seems to be an
overfullness, or if the udder feels more
than ordinarily warm, do not hesitate
to draw out some of the milk.
Preventing Milk Fever.
We have often found it necessary to
do this and by doing SO saved much
subsequent trouble with fine mixers
which, before coming into our posses
sion, had lost a teat by neglect. These
cows seemed with each new calf to be
predisposed to fresh attack and we
were obliged to be on guard early in
the day. When the calf came, it was
allowed to suck enough to satisfy its
hunger, then some milk was drawn
from the quarters of the udder which
the calf left untouched that relief
might be experienced by the cow, but
under no circumstances was she
MIXED clean.
Plenty of warm water was given her
to satisfy her thirst, and if she liked it
a little bran was added to the water
All the forage she wanted was given
her and her diet was about the same
for three or four days as the last few
days before coming fresh. From that
time on the grain ration was gradu-
ally increased until at the end of two
weeks, and sometimes less, she was on
full feed.
AT no time before the milk was fit to
use was she MIXED dry. This time
with us was the ninth milking. After
that perfectly clean milking was the
rule until we began to dry her up.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-05-30
DAIRY POINTERS.

The cows should be well bedded
both for comfort and cleanliness.
A bran mash now and then short
time before calving is most beneficial.
If the udder is excessively caked and
hard, it is well to draw little milk
from it. This will help to ward off
Inflammation and garget
It's poor policy to use anything but
the best bull grade has no place 'at
the head of your herd.
Do not move cows faster than a
comfortable walk while on the way to
place Of milking or feeding.
The breeder who has definite idea
in view can improve his animals. The
one who goes at it blindly never can.
Too many dairymen do not know
whether their cows are paying or not.
They do not know which are the good
and which the poor ones.
Make study of the herd of cows,
select the best ones, sell the poor ones
and make the cows keep you instead
OF you keeping the cows.
In ali well regulated libraries there
are signs posted in conspicuous places
bearing the one word Silence" Sim
liar signs should be posted in every
milking shed.
If you want a ventilator to draw
well, says an Ohio dairyman, run 1t
straight up and do not put any curves
or dips in it, and let no man tell You
that the middle of the barn is the
proper place to have the ventilator. !
would rather have four yentilators
than one.
Sunlight is the great natural disin-
fectant. Sunlight and pure air are
two great essentials to the health Of
man and beast. Dark, poorly venti-
lated and filthy stables are disease
breeding grounds Keep the stables
clean and let the sunlight and fresh
air penetrate every nook and corner
therein. Provide plenty OF windows
in the stables and fix them so they can
be opened and closed with ease and
facility
A good hardworking COW should
have sixty days rest before starting
the fresh period, says the Farmers
Advocate. Many cows will keep up u
good flow until a very few days before
calYing, but it is poor plan to let them
do this. The ones who do this are the
most persistent mixers, the ones that
most need a good long rest. They will
more than make up for lost time when
they reshen again.

The Work In Massachusetts.


The lecture hour work in the oranges
Of Massachusetts for the first nine
months Of 1906 meant something like
this: That 1,05S debates and discus
sions were held, in which 5,745 mem
bers participated; that $50 members
read essays or papers on various sub
jeets and that after the reading these
papers were discussed by 2,460 per
sons; that 5, 100 persons gave vocal Sc
lections; that 1927 persons gave instru-
mental selections; that 1926 persons
gave readings; that ], 118 speakers pre-
scented a great variety of subjects, of
ten followed by lively discussions; that
in dramatic features 3,798 persons con-
tributed some part; that 1850 mem
bers participated in some other fea
ture that has added interest to the lee
ture hour, while perhaps the most
astounding total of all Is the revela-
ton from these quarterly reports that
in these same nine months the lecture
hour programmes in the oranges of the
state were listened to by total audi
ence Of more than 17S,000 persons,
which does not include the still fur
Their attendance at the various state
field meetings of the year, all of which
gives us an idea of what tremendous
influence must be exacted by the lee
ture hour work Of the oranges, like
wise the responsibility resting upon
those who plan and conduct this edu-
cational work Of the Order.

The "cowy odor" In MIX.

If the COW be kept clean and the
milk be drawn in a Clearly manner in
to clean pail by clean person and
be removed from the barn shortly aft
er and Immediately strained there is
no reason why winter milk should have
a .cowy odor." This ''cowy odor'' is
usually caused by filth which drops
into the milk during the milking or is
absorbed by the milk from the foul
air in the stable Milk should be re-
moved from the stable before it cools
to the temperature of the stable air;
otherwise it will absorb taints rapidly.
If sent to a winter creamery, it should
be delivered at least three times a
week. If manufactured on the farm
it should be made into butter as soon
as possible after it is drawn from the
COW. The longer that milk is kept be-
fore being made into butter the poorer
will be the product.-Professor ]. b.

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION.
Report Of the Committee of tho New
York State Grange.

ork stare orange.
We believe that the grange should be
to a greater extent than heretofore a
school for the progressive education Of
its members, continuation of the
means and opportunities of the public
schools. To this end we recommend
that courses of study be arranged in
such subjects as history and the nat
ural sciences; that occasional lectures
be given by persons Of ability and note
who may be available for the purpose,
subjects prescribed for study. We
suggest that in the regular programmes
Of the lecturer there be an occasional
review of a newly issued book. In
certain favored localities it might be
feasible to provide instruction in elo-
cution, expression and general public
speaking. The lecturers hour would
thus partake of character of drill and
instruction in addition to the feature of
entertainment.
The grange might furthermore con-
tribute to the enlightenment Of the
community outside the gates by main
tanning a simple course of public lee
lures and concerts, extending through
the autumn and winter months, the
fee for admittance not to exceed a
nickel or dime. In localities cOntig-
nous to colleges and seminaries such
lecture courses might be supplied from
the teaching faculties at trif1ing ex-
pense, even when including demonstra-
tions with scientific apparatus.
Nearly all our rural communities
are without organizations devoted to
the improvement of musical talent
Singing schools which in their day
were to some extent crude and unsat-
isfactory nevertheless exerted an i'm
portant influence on at least part OF
the people who participated in them.
Might not the grange become the in
strument in many cases for attuning
the people to the appreciation and
practice of good singing? The girls
and boys who have been favored with
competent instruction in the colleges
and conservatories of music would of
ten be glad for an opportunity through
the grange singing class to repay some
part of the debt they owe to the COM
munity that has nurtured them.
In addition to the recommendation
already made with reference to the
teaching and study of agriculture, the
grange could well undertake some prac-
teal work. like the maintenance of
competitive gardening among the chill
dren Of the grange or of the public
schools of the town or district, includ-
ing an autumn exhibition of the fruits
Of the little gardens. The outlay for
such an undertaking need not exceed
the cost of single oyster supper.

Plum on Peach Stock.

In considering the subject of plum
culture at the annual meeting Of the
Ohio State Horticultural society it was
developed that plum on peach stalk
has several decided advantages. Peach
roots prevent the suckering from the
roots. The effect Of the borer in peach
roots is not nearly SO great as in plum
roots There may be more borers in
peach roots than in plum roots, yet the
wood Of the peach roots will not die
to ais great extent as that Of the plum.
