Fabrick's Boy Very III

The little five year old son of Coun.
ty Auditor J. Fabrick is lying very
low from the effects of drinking I've
about a year ago. The little fellow
improved for time and seemed to be
all right, but at times his oesophagus
seemed to be INSTRUCTED. For sever

swallow a drop Of food or medicine
and Tuesday night an examination
was made with an x-Ray. IA point
opposite the third ribs, the structure
can be plainly seen. 1t is likely that
an operation will be performed, cut
ting the oesophagus, and connecting
it with silver tube to the chest, thru
which liquids may enter the stomach.

WHOLE CORN FOR THE sLo.

To the Editor: There are a number
of dairymen in this state who have
filled their silos with whole corn with
perfect success for many years.
Most Of them use a hay fork and
carrier to elevate the bundles and
drop the load in the center of the silo,
keeping a man there who lays the
bundles in regular courses. the first
with butts out, the next with tops out
alternating all the way up.
Every second or third course put
an extra bundle or two along the edges
against the outside, and tramp dowr
the corn all the time. Be particula,

KEEP CONTROL OF THE ROADS

All farmers are interested in good
country roads. They know what it
means to haul stuff to and from the
farm through the mud in the fall and
spring of the year. There are some
parts Of this country where for weeks
at time in winter 1t is almost impos-
sible to get about except on horse
back. The roads are rough and quito
impossible.
While this is SO there Is some dam
ger that in their desire to remedy
what is surely serious condition, the
farmers Of some parts of the coun-
| try may bring upon themselves and
their children heavy burden of debt
1t costs much to construct good roads
do the best We may. Where material
Is scarce and h. to get, this expense
becomes almost prohibitive.
Where we are apt to miss 1t is ir
lplacing the matter of building these
highways in the hands of unscrupu
lous men. The ordinary farrnel
knows little about the actual cost O.
wants 1t and he trusts the man WHIT
says he knows how to build it, Otter
without question.
This is not right. Every count.

Notes of am Orchard.

Fire blight is caused by disease
germs in the tissue of the plant and
the leaves and new growth turn black
as though having been scorched. You
will notice this along early in July.
Cut out all infected parts and burn
them.
Grass and weeds in the orchard
make fine nesting place for mice in
the winter.
If your grape vines are being dam
aged by the climbing cut worm, feed
them a little arsenic mixed with bran
and water and little sugar mixed
with It to give it a pleasant taste.
Put little of it around the base OF
each vine and Mr.. Cut Worm will turn
up his toes.
Grape vines will do their best tc
ton and little pruning every year
will make it easier for them.
An Indiana correspondent wants tc
know how to kill sweet clover in hi:
orchard. Now 1t frequently during
the summer and allow it to rot OF

CULTIVATION OF COW PEAS.

The cow pea is crop which has at
tracted much attention of recent years.
Being legurne, 1t has the power of
drawing upon the air for it's supply
of nitrogen, and SO far as the nitrogen
is concerned, 1t leaves the soil richer
in the substance after the crop Is re-
moved than it was before the crop was
grown. The COW pea is southern
crop and naturally requires warm
soil for Its successful cultivation.
There are a number Of early varieties
that may be cultivated in the middle
and western states, but it is necessary
Ito wait until the soil is warm before
the crop Is planted.
The New Era variety is one Of the
earliest and best varieties 1t is

as 1t natures ready for harvesting at
about the same time that the millet
is at Its best.
| While the cow pea can get nitrogen
from the air, it must be remembered
that it must also have phosphoric acid,
potash and lime in order to make a
crop, and these elements of fertility
must be furnished by the soil.
It may be necessary to inoculate the
soil with proper bacteria in order to
get the benefit of Its leguminous prop
erty. but in many soils. even new ones
Ito the COW pea, this is not necessary.
1.-The COW pea seems to prefer the soil
nitrogen, and where there is plenty
of nitrogen In the soil 1t seems to feed
upon that rather than to develop
Itubercles on the roots, as Is necessary
when nitrogen fs taken from the air.

very rich soil; the crop made an en-

IN URING the grain season of 1905
experiments We're carried on by

many fields in different sections OF

practical way.

FLOATING FRUIT STORES.

Up in the far northern portion of the
province of Ontario, Canada. floating
stores alone supply the inhabitants Of
the lone towns and homes, not to mem
ton the hotels, and, on these, fruit
plays not inconsiderable item. In
fact, meat Is very high Whereabouts,
excepting only lamb, which is a local
product, and vegetables being home
raised, grow rather monotonous. So
the peasantry and strangers look to
fruit, and when the floating store
comes in, three times a week. dainties
along this line are usually in evidence.
Nor is it all one-sided either, this
traffic. The woods Of North Ontario

HORSES IN FRUIT PLANTATIONS

We have lately noticed that some ex-

fruit plantations during the past
month, where planting was SO ar
ranged as to suit horse cultivation up
and down across the field. If space
of six feet from bush to bush or bush
to tree be left, this operation can be
carried on for several years after
planting and until the growth of the
trees and bushes renders it impractic-
able.
There are some excellent little Gull
tivators now in the market suitable
for the work in question. They stir
up the soil to the width of four and

This is the season when sheep, WIFI

quire special attention all during the

One Of the most serious troubles
that the flock master has to contend
with in hot weather Is the attacks OF
flies. Young lambs are often killed
by flies. The insects, working day and

Sometimes fly-blown sheep that are
