tute for poultry feeding.
A quart of soft feed is about the
proper allowance for dozen fowls
one ounce of green cut bone for each
hen, twice a week, is the proper feed
ing.
c. G. Watson, of the Department Of
Agriculture, says as the digestive
organs contain the least amount of
food in the morning, it is desirable to
feed the soft food at that time, for the
reason that it will be dgested and as
simulated quicker than whole grain.

The Apple Orchard.

Potash helps the failing apple
orchard
A rank, struggling growth of tree
is not the sign of careful training.
Keep the tree free from suckers so
that there can be a free circulation Of
air through the trees and the sunlight
let in sufficiently to give the fruit
good color.
Trees have two methods of repro
ducing themselves-by buds and by
the seeds of the fruit.
Every bud on tree is capable Of
reproducing that tree
Fallen fruit should never be allowed
to lie under the trees, as it will allow
worms and moth to develop and null

The spring tooth harrow and the
grape hoe are two grand tools in an
orchard.

The peach tree blossoms before the
leaves appear.
The apple, pear and cherry put out
their leaves before blossoming
Rot in trees can generally be checked
by removing all decayed wood and COW
ering the wounds with liquid shellac,

careful not to paint the bark.

The Vegetable Garden.

Even now the garden will not suffer
neglect
The garden is a health promoter,
every vegetable having some medicinal
properties.
After the garden crops are all
harvested rye should be sown on the
plot for a Winter cover, blowing it
under in the Spring.
The so-called tree onion is a
perennial of American origin
Keep the walks around the garden
free from weeds.
1t is claimed that it costs less to
grow a good head of cauliflower than
a head of cabbage
Catalogues may be nicely ripened
by removing them from the vines and
storing in dry warm rooms.
Never allow the ground to become
baked as in that condition a great deal
of moisture is lost.
Cultivation does not add water to
the soil, but it keeps that already there
from getting away.
1T is not true that tomatoes ripen
best in the sun after being picked.

Is Coming to Maine to
Visit "biH" Sewa||.
Has About the Same as Prom
ised TO Come Next Fall.
Interesting Chat With Mr.. SewaII
...Extracts From the Letter.

Island Falls, Me, July 16.-William
the district of Aroostook, better known
as Bill Sewall, President Roosevelt's
old guide and close friend, is at his
home here looking after his hay crop
and the forest fires, which have been
working toward his famous hunting
camps.
AS always he was willing to talk
about the President although with due
caution.
Yes he said, Il get letters from
him now as l always have since have
known HIM. | consider them personal
and private, of course, and there isn't
very often anything in them that
would interest the public even if !
should let the papers print them. |
got letter not long ago which per-
hapS it would do no harm To show
parts of as he tells me how he is feel
ing.
He seems to be somewhat worried
to think he is getting too fat. Guess if
he'd come down here | could take
little of It off helping me to get my
hay and I reckon he'd do more work
than any two of my hired men.
Il think that he's glad that his job
ut the White House is most over He
tells me mes Eankerin' to smell the
pines of old Maine once more and he's
The same as promised me to come down
to my camps for spell after election
and practice a little on deer and moose
round here before he goes to Africa to
hunt lions and tigers. | know well
enough that he'll come and bring some
of the boys"
Mr.. Sewall produced his last letter
from the President dated at Oyster
Bay June 26, and read from it:
II hope that Mrs. Roosevelt will be
better now that the strain of the Presi-
Dental nomination is off; as for me l
thoroughly enjoyed the job and never
felt more vigorous as far as the work
Of the Office is concerned. But it's
some different from the work in the
back woods and plains that you and 1
have done together in the past.
I'D said I wouldn't accept another
my word is good. l should be mighty
sorry to have them think anything
else. I believe in being a strong Presi-
dent and making the most of the office
and using it without regard to the
little. feeble snarling men who yell
about executive usurpation.
Il also believe it is not good thing
for any man to hold it too long. My
ambition is, no matter in however
humble manner and no matter how
ever far off. to travel in the footsteps
of Washington and Lincoln"
81 told EN- said Mr.. Sewall, chat
when the President put down his foot
and said that it was no third term for
him, that he meant what he said.
That's the way he has Of doing, ]
found that out years ago, sir"
