A western farmer succeeded in rid
ding his place of rats in the following
manner: On a number Of shingles he
put a teaspoonful of molasses, and on
this he scattered quantity Of concen-
trated I've, putting the shingles around
under his corncrib and other outbuild-
ings. On one morning following put
ting out of this dope he claims to have
found forty dead rats, while the rest
apparently left for parts unknown. He
succeeded in freeing several farms from
the rat pest in this manner and has
never known the plan to fail.

An inspection of different sections OF
the writer's orchard at picking time
this fall shows that those portions of
the orchard which had been given a
vigorous pruning bore fruit of a much
better size and quality. 1t was also no
ticeable that the results of the spray
ing treatments were more pronounced,
this evidently being due to the fact
that the spray was more evenly dis
tributed among the less dense tops.

Every grower Of apples is this year
paying for the apple "splurge' of last
fall and winter in which extreme
prices prevailed for anything that was
an apple and in which hundreds of
fruit buyers and commission men were
heavy losers or made entirely bank
rupt. One Minneapolis buyer told us
recently that apples were shipped to
that point from New England states in
the fall at a cost of $3.50 per barrel
laid down, were kept in storage
through the winter and after the col
lapse along about April 1 were bought
by the carload at $1.25 per barrel. So
many commission men got caught on
this slump that the thought or sight of
an apple makes them sick, with the re-
suit that they are very timid this fall
and are making no advances. Apples
are bringing but little more than half
what they did last year, and this in
face of the fact that there seems to be
little more fruit in sight than in 1907.
This finger burning has made buyers
cautious and will likely keep them so
for a dozen years.

The dry weather which has pre-
vailed generally over the country the
past five weeks has resulted in cutting
down materially the potato yield. This
means that there will likely be good
prices for all marketable stock. The
grower who has raised large crop
should post himself thoroughly on the
general market situation before con-
tracing his potatoes.

A friend makes inquiry as to the wis
dom of the fall planting of fruit trees
While this practice is followed by
many and doubtless with fair meas
ure of success, we are of the opinion
that results obtainable are not so sat
isfactory as is the case where the
planting Is done in the spring. 1t may
be that the very trees which one would
buy in the spring are heeled in the
fall by the nurseryman, but even in
this event they remain dormant
through the, winter under conditions
which are more favorable than would
exist were they set in the open ground
and exposed to all kinds Of weather.
1t is doubtless more convenient for the
nurseryman to dispose of his stock in
the fall, but it is not viewed so highly
from the standpoint of the purchaser.

MICE IN THE ORCHARD.

The seasons work in the orchard is
not done until piles of grass and litter
have been removed. If this is not done
they are almost sure to become har
bOrs for mice, which will work havoc
with the trees in case they are hard
pressed for food during the winter
months. Last fall after apple harvest
we removed number Of cocks of rain
spoiled grass which had been il the o.
chard three or four weeks, and in al
most every one was found a 5Guirmine
brood of newborn mice which would
have grown q coat of hair before win
ter and would have had to have some
form Of food supply during the winter
1t Is well in this connection % relna:n-
Der that mice will girdle a ten-year-old
tree just as soon as they Will one three
or four; hence there is additional rea-
son for precaution. Where the number
of trees is not large the trees may be
effectively protected from the attacks
of both mice and rabbits by wrapping
the trunks with wire screen or pieces
Of wood veneer which are made espe-
cially for this purpose. Whatever pro-
lection is gi"en the trees, though, a
warfare should lie waged on the mice

A holding off of killing frost has
enabled many farmers in the northern
portion of the corn belt to cut their
corn with a harvester and thus save
the large amount of valuable roughage
that is for the most part wasted if
the corn is husked in the field and the
stalks allowed to stand. Well cured
corn fodder is just as nutritious and
valuable as timothy, and it is merely
matter of good management to save
as much of it as one can use or sell.

SHOULD HAVE 1T ON EXHIBITION


A lady reader of these notes offers
the suggestion that, since there are so
few farmers who know what quack
grass is when they see it, it would be
n commendable thing if the officers Of
rounty Institutes would see to it that
when their winter sessions are held
specimens of the grass showing seed
head, leaf and root systems were ex-
hibited and the habits and character
istics of the plant given a somewhat
full exposition. The suggestion is an
excellent one and should be acted upon
In just as many cases as possible In
all too many instances the only ac-
quaintance fellow has with this worst
Of weed pests comes through its get
ting fOOthold on his land and the war
Of determination he has to wage to get
rid Of it. Did he know the grass from
the start he might stamp it out with
relatively little effort before 1t became
established. Not only should there be
a discussion of quack grass in the in
stitute programme, but specimens of 1t
should be at hand in order to make the
discussion of most value.

Recent experiments which have been
conducted In road building in locali
ties where rock is not available point
to the fact that very effective sub
stitute may be had by top dressing the
road after it has been properly graded
with mixture of sand and clay. The
sand keeps the clay from working up
gluey and mucky, while the clay holds
the sand in place and keeps 1t from
washing. Roads made in the above
manner and allowed to pack gradually
as they go through the drying process
keep their shape well and are almost
as solid as pavement.
