Care In Using Feed Cutters.

Every little while we hear of farm
er losing a hand or arm in silage cut
ter-one this week. This Is usually
caused either by stalks getting wedged
in the feed rolls or a loose jacket
sleeve getting caught in the fodder
and pulling in the arm. Don't wear
any but tight fitting or buttoned up
clothing around Il cutter or machinery
of any kind for that matter If stalks
get wedged in feed rolls, do not put
your hands near the rolls to straiGhtcn
out matters. Use large long stalk, or,
better still, shut off the feed and
ytraighten out things DO not crowd
the cutter and push with all your
MIGHT. 1t will cut more corn if it is
not crowded. If you have one of the
old STYLE feed cutters, where the corL
must be pushed up to the rolls, stand
so that you pull it in rather than push.
then your elbow is the point that
comes nearest the feed roll, ana there
is very little DANCER of an accident

stead Inspected the orchard when it
was in fruit and found the enterprise
an unqualified success. All of the corr
mon fruits, such as apples pear,

found in the dwarf fruit garden. Fine
large apples were seen growing on
fruit in some instances was within two
or three inches of the ground. In the
case of pears the trees were about as
high as ones head, and the limbs were
literally loaded with delicious fruit.
The peaches, too, were bearing heavily,
and the close planting did not seem to
lnjure the quality of the fruit.
In Professor Waughs opinion dwarf
apples are the most interesting and
valuable Of dwarf fruits. OF the forms
the simplest is the bush or vase form.
They succeed very well as upright
cordons and all the simpler mOditica-
tons of this form. AS the trees can
be planted very close together easily

Ing very little room, a large number
of them can be planted in very limited
areas of the city lot or back yard.
The apple adapts itself admirably to
horizontal cordons. Dwarf apples re-
quire practically the same cultivation
and care as standard apples. The soil
should be cultivated the early part of
the summer and allowed to rest the
latter part of the year. Cover crops
may be sown during June or July, ac-
