The Fruit Patch.

The government horticulturist says
many persons with small lots may
plant what are known as dwarf fruit
trees. In proportion to size dwarf
trees are more fruitful than stand
ards" They come into bearing sooner
and are therefore of special value for
use in limited Enclosures or fruit gar
dens. Besides the advantage of dwarf
ing, grating may be turned to good
account, enabling the owner Of trees
to increase his variety Of fruits. Sin
gle trees have been made to bear as
many as $50 varieties of apples.
If you set out a fruit garden, take ad-
vantage of the space under and be-
tween the trees by planting strawber-
ries, blackberries, raspberries, cur
rants or some other small fruit. Vege-
tables may also be planted about the
trees,

A Treatment That Sometimes Will
Cure an Infected Animal.
The following is the standard treat
ment for lump jaw on cattle: If there
be an opening in the tumor or swelling,
inject into the opening about one tea
spoonful of tincture of iodine daily. If
there is NJ opening, rub the tincture
on the skin daily, or it may be injected
with a hypodermic syringe. Continue
the treatment until 1t is evident that
the growth of the tumor has stopped.
If willing to give up the use of the
cow as q mixer until she is cured, you
may also, In addition to the treatment
above prescribed, give her n and a
half to two and a half t%easpoonfuls Of
iodide of potassium divided into two
doses, n in the morning and n at
night, to be given in a pint of warm
water. Continue this for two weeks
or until signs of iodism appear, such
as a security skin, weeping at the eyes
and dribbling from the nose and
mouth. Then discontinue for a week
or ten days and commence again If
necessary.
The iodfde of potassium will render
the milk Unfit for use. Continue to milk
her regularly, however, and throw the
milk away, as she may be cured in a
few weeks, and then her milk will be
all right. The disease itself does not
render the milk unfit for use unless
the cow is In the last stages, where
the general health of the COW will be
impaired.

Suggestions For Making It Profitable
as Well as Useful.
The home fruit garden is not only
attractive when the strawberries are
in bloom or in fruiting OF when the
raspberries, currants, pears, peaches or
other fruits are ready to pick. The
home garden is ever an attractive spot.
No member Of the family, no visitor or
other person can pass this garden de-
voted to the growing of the various
fruits for home use without being at
tracted to it. Such a home fruit gar
den expresses much to the observer at
ali seasons of the year. 1t speaks Of
contentnent, of health and Of the home
table embelIished with beautiful and
delicious specimens Of large and small
fruits.
The location of the home fruit gar
den should be as near the dwelling as
possible. 1t may embrace an acre, half
an acre. quarter of an acre or 1t may
be confined to the rear end Of a forty
foot lot in town Or city. If you have

A Crop That Pays Well For Very Lit
tie Outlay and Work.
The best crop, counting expense Of
growing and amount Of land used, is
pieplant. Procure some roots of the
Linnaeus variety that Is early, tender
and, while growing very large, is less
acid than many other kinds.
Prepare the punches by putting five
or six stalks In a bunch, tying it Sc
curely at the butts Of stalks and again
around the leaves just above the
stems; then with a sharp knife cut off
a portion Of the leaves, leaving about
a third of the green leaf or the stalk.
It will wilt less quickly with a part of
the leaf on than with the whole leaf
OF where only the stalk has been left.
The rows should be six feet apart
and plants four feet in row. The only
work expended on 1t is to cultivate two
or three times early in the season and
hoe it once. In the fall the rows are
covered with a mulch of strawy ma
nure.
Pull It late In the day, tie and trim
the leaves, then pack it in sixty quart
berry crates. 1t does not wilt as much
If crowded in tightly.
Rhubarb may be made to yield about
$35 to $40 an acre per month.

hens are kept in an Enclosure during
the egg producing season. Barrels laid
on the side with straw placed In them
make good nests.
"After gathering them 1t is not best
to keep the eggs very long, but If there
is no suitable place to put them with q
hen they should be turned at least
twice a week.
II give seventeen eggs to a turkey
hen. 1t Is best if they can come off
while sitting to eat and dust as they
like. They may also be busted with a
good powder just before the young
turkeys come out. l take them from
the nest as soon as possible, all but
one, to be left with the mother, so she
will not be uneasy. 1 keep them in a
box in the house until they learn to
eat and walk. They soon learn to eat
bread moistened with sweet milk.
"The coops are then ready. These are
made Of boards eight feet long, about
three feet high at the front and two
fitted with a good cover; also boards
partly covering the bottom, with a
door in each end. This, divided in the
middle, will make two good coops,
which will turn the rain. l keep them
in the coop with the hen n day. then
turn them in a pen made Of boards a
foot high. The pen is about twenty
feet square. Around this two feet Of
poultry wire is placed to keep the
mother in; also to keep the outside
chickens from getting to scalp the lit
tie ones.
"The coop opening in this pen makes
it easy to change them around. In this
way they get plenty Of exercise and
will flourish If given cornmeal and
cheese made of sour milk four times a
day with plenty of fresh water. Small
oyster shell is necessary. A small bit
Of cayenne pepper mixed with the
cheese is a good stimulant.
"After keeping them in the pen about
two weeks they are getting anxious to
find larger fields. The White Hollands
will wander and hunt, but nearly al
ways come home in the evening. They
soon learn to go In the coop. This must
be kept very clean. After feeding they
are shut in and kept till the grass is
dry in the morning. Always keep them
in when it rains. They cannot In
the wet until larger.
when getting them ready for mar
ket a mixed feed Of oats and corn is
good. Old corn Is much better than
new"
A way Of controlling turkeys to make
them stay in a field is very simple.

One of the problems on the farm is
how to obtain an ample supply Of good,
clear water. 1t is not so easy to pro-
vide we'll OR spring water with a

purified by e Of n or more SIM

construction. Much dirt in the way
Of SCOT, leaves, dead insects, droppings
from birds and pollen from trees is
washed into the cistern unless some
means are taken to prevent 1t. The
simplest arrangement is to have a
movable section in the leader which
can be turned to let the rain wash the
dirt on to the ground. Then after the

Grasses Everywhere.

Grasses are widely distributed We
usually think of them as existing in
temperate zones only, because here
we have the perennial pastures and
meadows. They are, however, to be
found SO far north that the soil is fro
zen under them during the greater part
of the year, while they are also COM
mon to parts of the south where the
frost is never known. Even the noun
tain tops that are clothed with perpet-
ual snow have just below the snow
line their carpets of poas that grow
and bloom through a brief period every
year. The grasses push hard against

can go into the cistern. This Is OBJ
dectionable in that It needs to be look
ed after during every rain, and fire.
4uently all the water will be lost
The simplest form Of filter is to
build a partition through the %clstern,
laying up a soft brick wall in cement,
as shown in Fig. l.. This will ordtnari-
ly give satisfaction If the impurities
which collect on the receiving side of
the wall are removed occasionally. An
other and better form of filter is shown
in Fig. 2. In this case the cut is sup
posed to represent a hundred barrel els
tern and a filter Of twenty-five barrels
capacity. They are built of either on
crete or brick, well cemented on the
inside.
The filter is flat bottomed and is half
filed with charcoal, sand and gravel
in layers, the charcoal being placed
In the bottom. The leader which comes
from the roof should enter the filter
on only a slight angle. The material
in the filter will need to be removed
occasionally and replaced with fresh
charcoal, sand and gravel.
When a cistern Is built 1t should be
water tight so as to prevent contamina-
ton from ground water during the wet
season as well as to prevent leakage
Of water that run into it from the roof,
and If a well is to be dug or drilled it
should be located upon higher ground
than the house, barn and outbuildings
and some distance from the latter. The
principal troubles that may be traced
to an impure OF contaminated water
supply are, as a rule, intestinal troubles,
the most dangerous being typhoid fe-
yer. The most common as well as the
most dangerous contamination Of the
drinking water comes from the cess
pool. Every precaution should be TAX
en- In locating the well to place It SO as
to prevent as nearly as may be any
possibility Of contamination.
There are as many, If not more, of the
germ diseases that may be transmitted
by water as by any other means, and
some Of the diseases are so uniformly
transmitted by the water supply that
they are known as water borne dis
ease. Typhoid fever Is such a disease,
as well as some of the other forms of
Intestinal troubles. If disease may be
carried by water, it is Of the greatest
importance that every precaution
should be taken to insure q pure water
supply.
A hasty examination Of q water Is Of
very little benefit ind may often be
entirely misleading. A water may be
clear, free from any sediment or odor

Destroying Smut.

To destroy the germs Of smut on
oats and other seeds add half a pound
Of formalin to thirty gallons of water,
spread the seed on a barn floor and
sprinkle the solution over it. making it
thoroughly damp. Then shovel it into
a pile and cover it with sacks or blan-
kets for about two hours, so that the
chemical may act on the grain. The
grain may then be dried for future
use, but it is better to SOW it at once.
The seed should not be so moist as to
pack in the hand. Thirty gallons will
treat 100 to $50 bushels Of grain.

For an area Of less than one acre a
small compressed air or knapsack
sprayer will be very satisfactory.
Where fruits as well as potatoes are to
be sprayed the barrel spray pump out
At will be most economical. By mount
ing the barrel on a one-horse two
wheeled cart, at the rear of which a
three-quarter inch pipe Of sufficient
length to cover four rows and provided
with nozzles is attached, one man can
do the spraying unassisted.

find both pleasure and profit in dwarfs.
In a commercial way the apples on
Paradise stocks have not been grown
extensively enough to test them. 1t Is
generally considered that they require
too much care to be profitable when
grown on a large scale. Some leading
fruit growers believe, however. that
the Doucin stock has great commercial
possibilities. 1t makes trees eighteen to
twenty feet high. They can be set from
a rod to twenty feet apart each way
and can be given the best of attention
owing to their moderate size.

Do not throw away old f%enceposts
just because the ends In the ground
have rotted away. You can patch these
out and the posts will last as long as
new ones Take a piece Of an ordinary
post two feet long and smooth down
one end with an ak so as to fit on to

likewise be smoothed down. Now get

Spravinu Potato Vines,

The number of sprayings it will be
necessary to give potatoes depends
somewhat upon the season. If rainy
weather prevails 1t will be necessary
to spray more frequently than if it be
comparatively dry, not only because
the rain will wash the spray material
off the vines, but also because damp
weather is favorable to the develop
ment Of the disease. A good general
rule is to begin spraying when the
vines are about six inches high and
spray every ten days or two weeks
throughout the season.-W. J. Green.

sometimes become lame. 1t is advisa-
BILE to turn the pigs out and let them
have an opportunity to take proper ex

floor that causes oreness and lame
ness. If the pigs have access to good
pasture they may be fed on corn

they should be supplied with food
that contains more bone making con-
%stituents than is supplied by corn, such
