this objection, If the outside horses are
hard-mouthed it has tendency to pull
the lines out too far and worry the
inside horses mouths This can be
entirely overcome by making d D long

Apple Seedlings.

We are asked the question II the
Seeding used In grating apple exerts
any influence on the tree as to hardi-
hess and If 80 what are the best to
use The apple Seeding is the foundation
IoI the tree, as the scion depends on
this at least the first two years for
establishing itself and forming the nu-
cleus Of the future tree. In the past
there has not been given the attention
as there should have been to hardness
and adaptability Of the stocks OF our
different fruit trees, and it has just
commenced to be agltated by horticul-
turlsts the last few years. 1t has been
the custom of many nurseries to i'm
port from France seedlings Of French
crab and domestic apples for grating
on. Many Of these are known to be ten
der and hence many of the losses from
trees dying out could be traced II we
knew directly to the stocks on which
the tree had been grated If we were
to save seed from such varieties as
Duchess of Oldenburg, wealthy, north
western greening, ETC., we would soon
see a marked difference In the hardi-
ness of our trees. Some of our pains
taking nurserymen are very careful on
this account and buy their apple seeds
in Vermont or northern New York,
where 1T Is washed out Of the pumice of
the cider mills In sections where they
have had for years large Seeding or
chards. While the fruit was inferior,
yet the trees were hardy, and this is
the only requirement in a stock, as the
quality Of the tree will always be In
fiuenced by the scion.-Twentieth Cen

Timothy and CIover Hay.

Timothy hay is the one most COM
monty grown on the farm and found
In the market, according to Pennsyl-
vania bulletin. Timothy sells for a
higher price in the market than other
hay, and is regarded as being particu-
larly adapted to horses. 1t is deficient
in protein, and for that reason should
be fed with grain ration of nitro
genous nature. For horses no better
basis for ration can be found than
timothy hay and oats. 1t is less valu-
able for cattle and sheep. Glover hay
is next to timothy in common use, and
the two are more often found mixed
than either is found alone. The nitro.
genous nature OF the clover aids in
supplying the deficiency Of protein In
the timothy. Glover is more valuable
than timothy for cattle and sheep, but
is not considered SO satisfactory fol
horses.
