No animal can remain at a stand

HINTS ON BREEDING SHEEP

AS the result of several yearslof
experience, the Wisconsin station lbs
published the following conclusions:
From the breeding records of ia
ewes at this station we conclude that
for such animals and conditions as
ours, the normal period of CESSATION
ranges from 144 to $50 days after
the date of service, and that more
ewes will lamb lac days after service
than at any other time.
There is no appreciable difference
in the period of CESSATION for male and
female offspring in sheep.
There is an apparent relation be-
tween the duration of the period of
CESSATION and the period required for
maturity. Quick-appear maturing
breeds to carry their young for short
er periods than those breeds requir-
ing more time to mature.
Large lambs are on the average
carried in utero for an appreciably
longer period than small or medium
lambs.
Lambs dropped before the one
hundred and forty-fourth day and af-
ter the one hundred and forty-ninth
day of pregnancy are lacking strength
and vitality at birth.
Shropshire ewes were more prolific
than any of the other breeds and
crosses, except the fourth cross of
Shropshire rams on a Merino eve
foundation.
"One-year-old rams are not so pro-
life as those OF two-year-old. Ewes
average a larger percentage of in
crease in lambs after they reach full
maturity, at three years of age, until
after they are six years old, when the
rate Of increase diminishes.
eThe amount of service required of
the ram in breeding has an influence
on the percentage of increase in off
spring of the ewes that produce
lambs. Ewes bred early in the sea.

larger percentage of lambs than
those near the latter end of the sea-

THE PEACH TREE BoRER.

The peach borer is wasp-like in.
sect, with transparent wings and a
richly-ornamented body, banded and
striped with gold, and deposits its
eggs about the base of the trunk Of
the tree. The eggs hatch out, the
larvae bore into the sap-wood, and
cause an exudation of gummy matter,
which appears in masses about the
base of the tree. The larvae seem
partly to live in this gummy substance
and partly in the sap-wood of the
tree. Sometimes three or four are
found on the same tree, occasionally
girdling and destroying it, but always
inducing more or less of diseased
condition and impairing its vigor. AL
together 1t is a very Objectionable
and destructive insect.

give the colt some light farm work
at first, such as plowing or narrowing.
That Is risky. We would never hitch
colt to a harrow. One never knows
what they are going to do, and har-
row Is a mean thing to get a horse
mixed up in. Would rather give the
colts the light driving, and as they
become seasoned give them some
heavier work. Match up the colts as
soon as possible, and when the teams
are matched up, don't change them
around unless for good reason. Horses
have to learn how to pull and work

COL. w. A. HARRIS ON SHORT
HORNS.

Col. Harris, of Kansas, who Is one
of the best informed men about Short
horn cattle, in a recent address, re-
ferring to the Scotch and other types
OF this breed said:
"The sage of Sittyton, was an un-
known young breeder away off in Scot
land. There was great war going
on between the Booths and the Bates,
so thatthe only thing left for him to
do was to breed a class of bulls for
the farmers. He did this. He wanted
the farmers to feel that they could
not affon to do without the bulls
that he poduced, and he did not care
for finish s much as he did for con-
stitution.
This Is practical day. We have
to know tht cattle we produce will
be a sourcepf profit, or some other
breed will bechosen. We must build
up the cattle.and | do not think we

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

Past experience has caused me to
be confident that we should prune our
bearing trees annually and properly,
cutting out all dead limbs and about
one-fourth to one-half of all fruit spurs
and keeping all struggling ends of
long branches cut back. Also keep
the top open so that 1t may have the
benefit of the air and light. Allow
none of these trimmings or fallen
fruit to rot in the orchard. Burn the
brush and let the pigs and sheep eat
the fallen fruit If every one would
practice this, there would be more
and better fruit. When / have gath.
cred my fruit crop I turn the, cows
into the orchard, for they are fond
of the fruit
believe the greatest loss to the
fruit grower is caused by the neglect
of proper pruning Of trees and vines
and especially is this true of the
peach. Proper pruning will prevent
the forming of too many fruit buds,
and the dropping Of immature fruit
will save thinning in some seasons,
which is a big help to the busy farm
er. Personally, | value pruning and
early cultivation of trees and vines
more than any other operation in
fruit culture.-L. R. Durkee, Hamp-
den Co., Mass.

ONE WAY TO MAKE HENS LAY.
The question is often asked, how
can l make my hens lay? The fol-
lowing, from the Poultry Yard, tells
how it may be done:
When hens, especially old ones have
been on full feed for months, the egg
production often drops to very low
point, and may remain there indefi-
nitely even on a good laying ration.
In such cases the best plan is to re-
duce the feed sharply or even to
starve the hens if on range for ten
days or two weeks, and then resume
heavy feeding. In most cases they
will soon be making satisfactory
record
A well-known poultry editor used to
get great deal of credit by his abil-
ity to tell folks why their hens didn't
lay. His invariable answer to the
question was, Hens too fat. Starve
them" The merit of this answer was
that it didn't in the least matter what
the condition of the hens might be,
short period on scant rations, followed
well on poor hens, generally as on fat
ones, unless the poor hens had been
by full feeding, was almost certain to
start them laying. 1t worked just as
starved already
A hearty appetite, first-class diges-
tion and not too much fat, will gen.
orally bring the desired Shower OF
eggs

SUGAR MIGHT BE CHEAPER.

Suggested National Policy that
Would Reduce the Price.
Including Cuba, whose interest Is
vital, four different groups are con-
cerned by the American sugar situa-
ton. There are az the American gov
eminent, which receives a little more
than $50,0O0,OO0 a year in revenue
from the tariff on sugar; (2) our do
nestle and our insular producers, to
whom that tariff Is a direct benefit to
the extent of about $50,OOO,OOO a year !;
(3) the consumer, who Is interested in
lower prices, and ~ the Cubans, who
are so largely dependent upon the
American market for their livelihood.
In an article in the Information Ed
ward +. Atkins of Boston, the owner
of large plantation In Cuba, works
out this problem along an interesting
and probably correct line.
With general assumption Of the
continuance of present political and
fiscal conditions Mr.. Atkins says:
ITO all appearances our importations
Of foreign sugar, other than Cuban, will
soon end and from that time, II do
nestle and Cuban production keeps
pace with increased consumption, as Is
anticipated, a differential to Cuba
would protect her against other coun-
tries and reduce cost to consumers In
the United States" He holds that ''the
protection Of even the Cuban rate
(about 1.35 cents a pound) now gives
the domestic sugar producers 90 large
a margin of profit that they can we'll
afford to drop prices below Cuba's cost
in order to market their goods" He
claims that In the almost certain event
Of the reduction of competition to our
domestic product and the Cuban prod
uct a very material reduction could be
made in the present Dingley rate.
Should that be done two results
should follow: There should be reduc-
ton in selling prices and important In
crease In consumption. The initial loss
Of revenue to the government would
soon be offset by increase In imports
from Cuba. Increased demand should
stimulate domestic production. The
Dingley rate, practically maximum
rate, would keep out the sugar Of other
countries If Cuba were given a differ
entail, or what might be regarded al
, minimum rate. This differential
would virtually assure to Cuba q mar
ket for her product and so divide the
market between her output and our
, domestic supply.
The argument is certainly worth
careful consideration by the authori
, ties.-New York Sun.

Wherever the ordinary four-wheeled
vehicle can go, the trackless trolley can

train, as follows: "This latest prod
Icy, the Renard train, is a train of
passenger or freight vehicles, headed
by a steam or gasoline locomotive which
travels over country roads and town
or city streets. The ordinary railway
train calls for steel rails and a special
right-of-way; the Renard train has no
necessity for either of these, but shares
the common highway with the horse
drawn vehicle"
Further on, the writer says: "In
France the Renard train has been used
for military service with marked re-
suits. A convoy SO transported occu-
pies one-eighth the space of one drawn
by mules, or horses, and 1t travels at
speed of ten miles per hour" Even

which are noted for their backward
