SAVING AGED TREES.


The modern method of treatment
for saving old trees ready to fall
apart from decay is by the use Of
braces and cement. The decayed part
is gagged off, leaving but little more
than shell of sap wood and bark
Within the cavity steel braces are in
serted and bolted in place. The cav
ity is then wired, the wire being
stretched from nails driven into the
wood and serving as reinforcements
for the cement Then the cavity is
flied with moist cement, filling the
entire space.
If the opening is a large one and
exposed to rain it is covered with a
strip of zinc, but usually a coat Of
fine finishing cement at the entrance
of the cavity is sufficient. 1t is paint
ed or stained the color of the bark
so that the work of repairing is
hardly noticed. This plan saves for
many years trees ready to fall to
pieces at the first storm. In course
Of time more decay will occur around
the cement, but the framework and
braces viii hold up the shell as long
as any life is left.-American Guilt

FARM NOTES.

A source OF income at time when
/ most needed is a flock of laying hens
thru the winter months.
We have had trials with many
breeds, but have never found any
to excel the Rhode Island Reds for
early and continuous laying qualities.
Last winter this breed exhibited these
pullets laying regularly from Decem-
Der to May. However, in order to
have this success a few things must
be rigidly observed:
You must have early Matched pull
let's or strong, healthy one year old
hens.
Give plenty Of room in well ventilat-
ed houses.
Never expose fowls in blustery,
snowy weather.
Feed regularly heterogeneous foods,
rich in material for egg production.
Have runs well Uttered with strawy
material on which to feed grains,
causing the fowls to scratch for their
food.
Breed every year from the strong
est, but developed fowls and especial
ly from those Of good laying quail
ties.
Do not at any time overfeed your
fowls, give just enough to have them
clean it all up nicely.
Always treat the flock with kind
ness. Excitement does them harm;
have them as tame as pets.
Cleanliness turnout all their quar-
tiers. II vermin infest. the premises
they win rob you Of eggs.
Do not overcrowd Better IS hens
in house fit only for Is.
These rules are not intended for r.
/. Reds only, but for whatever breed
you may possess. H. Haynes In

HINTS TO TREE BUYERS.


A bulletin issued by the Wisconsin
State Horticultural Society contains
the following practical hints and sug-
gestions to prospective buyers OF fruit
trees:
in procuring fruit trees, plants,
Towering shrubs, ETC., the farmer, as
well as the city dwelier, is dependent
en- the nurseryman. On the farm the
grain seeds and often the grass seeds
used are home grown, but it is not
practicable for the farmer to produce
his nursery stock. In the case of
fruit trees a knowledge Of grating is
necessary as we'll as the after care
and cultivation of the trees for two
or three years or until large enough
to set in permanent places. The pro-
fessional fruit grower may possibly
do this with profit, but it is not adj
visable to discontinue farming with
nursery work when but small guam
titles of stock are required.
Buy in the winter for early
spring delivery. Trees bought for
fail delivery must either be planted
at once or .heeled in While root
growth may begin to some extent in
fall-planted trees, the drying and
freezing which the trees must with
stand for probably six months is apt
TO result in injury. Trees delivered
late in the fall are usually heeled
In by the buyer, the trees partially
or wholly buried until spring.
Nurserymen, as a rule, are pro-
vided with storage sheds or cellars
where the trees and plants, dug late
In the fall, are stored with roots
kept moist and the temperature Of
the storage room held near the freez-
Ing point. Here the stock is held
dormant and well protected, and If
forwarded to the buyer early in the
spring and planted as soon as re-
ceived, better results will be obtained
than by fall planting or 'heeling In
Buy of reliable firm, one hav-
Ing a permanent place of business
and reputation to maintain. If buy
ers of nursery stock would proceed
as in other business tranactions,
there would be fewer complaints Of
fraud. A farmer, for instance, would
be considered lacking in ordinary
business sagacity who would buy
live stock of an agent or firm wholly
unknown to him and yet that is
what many are doing in buying nur.
