We are glad to say that we have new
er seen IA chestnut tree infested with
sun Jose scale For this reason if for
no other we would rather plant chest
nuts than any other variety of decid'
nous trees. Please do not understand
the writer to say that the chestnut Is
immune against this worst pest that
has ever visited our fair land. For the
chestnut weeyil there are several rem
edies suggested. Growing chestnuts In
the poultry yard under the keen eye OF
the old hen Is absolute protection. |
am speaking from experience The
hen seizes the larva as soon as 1t
bores through the fallen nut and be
fore it can enter the ground. Nature
has prompted this grub to yacate the
nut as soon as it feels the shock Of the
fan to the ground-J. Albertson, New

ANGORAS.

They Thrive on All Kinds of Sol Ex-
eept Wet Land.
The Angora goat industry has deyel
oped remarkably during the last five
years. and 1t Is estimated that there
are now in this country about 1000 600
Angoras. distributed in all the states
and territories. The largest focks are
In Texas and New Mexico. but the
northwest has also successful fiocks
and no part of the country is untitled
for them. Angoras endure extremes
of heat and cold and thrive on all
kinds of soil except wet land. They
prefer rocky land covered with brush
BY nature they are climbers and
browsers. The densely covered rough
lands of the south, the wornout farms
of New England and the "stumpage'
districts of Michigan and Wisconsin
are especially adapted to them. Their
habit OF browsing makes them valua-
BILE for clearing land OF brush. Their
chief value. however, lies In their long
silky fleece, which In known az mo

CALF SCOURS.
Tho New Rensdy-How II 10 Used by
Or. Klein of South Carolina.

Tho Now Remsdy-How II 10 Osed by
Or. klsin of South Carolina.
As pointed out by L. \. Klein Of
the South Carolina experiment station.
one OF the most common difficulties
met with in raising calves on skim
milk is the persistent form OF diar-
rhea commonly known as calf scours.
This disease is due to the action Of
various Preventative and putrefactive
bacteria in milk The inevitable result
OF carcessncss in handling milk is the
development Of large numbers OF bac-
terra In it. and this i'll turn leads to
calf scourS which always causes an
unthrifty condition in the calf and may
often produce death. Proceeding on
the basis of the results of investiga-
tons already made by others on the
influence Of formalin on disease germs
and on digestion, when administered
in small amounts in milk, DR.. Klein
treated twelve Inllk fed calves affected
with scours by adding formalin to the
milk in the proportion of one part to
4 600 parts of milk This dilution may
be readily obtained by pouring five
tenths Of an ounce of formalln into tif-
teen and five tenths ounces of water
From this stock solution one teaspoon
ful is added to each pint or pound OF
milk to be fed to the affected calf.
From the experiments 1t appeared
that the results are practically the
same whether the formalin solution Is
placed in the milk Just before feeding
the calf or Immediately after the skim
milk is received from the separator
Apparently. however. it was advisable
to add the formalin to the milk inme
dintcly after separation.
or the twelve calves treatcd in this
way eleven recovered without any
further treatment seven Of them on
the second day. three on the third day
and one on the ninth day. II further
tests show that formnlin causes no i'll
jury to calves this method may furnish
an effective means OF controlling
scours.

Arabian Alfalfa.

The most distinct of any of the al
falfas. according to the report of the
secretary Of agriculture is the newly
introduced Arabian, characterized by
Its large leaflets, hairiness and vigor-
Gus growth. Its quick recovery after
cutting renders mn extra cutting pos
sible in long seasons 1t is proving of
special value in the irrigated sections
of California aud the southwest though
Its lack of hardness makes it unsuited

In general treatment of the green
house during winter, watering, airing
and temperature are three important
Items. Good Judgment should be used
In watering, especially during the short
days, says New Jersey grower In
New England Homestead. Tomatoes
and cucumbers can be grown in the
same temperature-that Is. 60 degrees
at night, 10 to - degrees day. Some
grow in solid beds. others on raised
benches. For the winter months pre-
fer the raised benches, setting the
plants eighteen inches apart and two
feet between the rows, pinching off all
the lateral growths, allowing just one
stem 10 plant Then, when the plants
get up six or seven feet high, pinch the
top This should allow at least seven
good trusscs Of fruit.
A few points might be considered as
to the best method of bringing on the
crop. In the first place, tomatoes should
be grown on the dry side, especially
through the short days; otherwise they
will make soft. long iointed, undesira-
BILE vines Under these conditions it is
difficult matter to get II satisfactory
set of fruit 1t is also necessary to
have the soil they are growing in fair
~ firm Water when absolutely neces-
sary-that is, give thorough drench-
Ing then allow the beds to go until
fairly dried. Provided the plants do
not wilt for need of water, there will
be no damage. In fact, foliage is u
good guide in regard to watering The
main point in being successful with all
vegetable crops is close attention to all
details. The vegetable house needs the
same care and attention as the choice
MINT house

Ground Oats For Poultry,

In using ground oats as feed for
fowls it is always better to remove
hulls from the meal According to a
poultrymun, these hulls are no better
as food than an equal amount Of straw,
and it requires more grinding in the
gizzard to reduce the hulls than 1t
would to grind double the amount Of
grain. There is no reason why the
fowls should waste energy in grinding
a useless substance when 1t may be
prevented.

ROUGH LAND.
Treatment of Foul and Rocky Pastures
In New England.

In New England.
What to do with foul, rocky pastures
Is problem which grows more puz-
Eling every year. Moving the bushes
only puts off the evil day.
The land Is too rough for the plow.
and clearing away the stones to make
tillage land would cost too much at
present prices of land and labor One
farmer informs US that 10 reclaim his
pasture free from stone cost S160 per
acre, while land equally good and
ready for the pillow cost only $50 per
acre.
Some English Methods.
1t is as yet question, states Amer
lean CutivHtor, whether it will pay to
top dress our average New England
farms in order to restore the pasture
crop. Success has been attained In re-
storing English pastures by use of
Stag meal and sometimes with potash
salts also The use OF these and other
chemical fertilizers has not been ex-
tensively tested in this country. 1t Is
a rather expensive process, and as
there Is less moisture in this climate
pasture grasses do not respond so
readily to top dressing.
Plant Food.
The wild growth and moss come on
chiefly because the soil has become too
poor to support grass aud clover The
problem Is how to restore this plant
food at a price within the reach of the
landowner. 1t requires nerve to apply
chemicals that cost as much per acre
as the land Is worth in It's present con
dition.
Sheep and Fruit Trees.
Heavy stocking with grain fed sheep
will kill out the rubbish and such
plan affords the best solution where
dogs are not too numerous. Apple
trees, sugar naples and nut trees will
OCCUPY thousands OF acres, but when
all has been done there will remain
large areas unfit for any use but the
growth of timber. from which purpose
they never should hive been diverted.
The Somerset reporter., 1907-02-28
a Good Word For Small Farms

One young farmer is sure that small
farms pay best Less hired help Is
needed, he says, and what work is
done can be easily performed under
the direction of the owner. The small
farm can be kept clean. and what Is
undertaken can he carried through
It Is better adapted to a speciality.
Large farms. according to his observa-
ton, waste money in hiring labor. and
even then the work is not done as 1t
should be.-Amerlcan Cultivator.

The San Jose Scale.

If 1t is permitted to multiply un-
restricted. young trees will usually
succumb to rayages of the san Jose
scale in three or four years, often in
two or three years. Older trees may
withstand it longer. The smaller limbs
and branches are usually the first to
be killed. and the tree will throw out
from below II varying number OF
shoots.-A l.. Qualntance.
