there In thus caring for the horse than
for exercising similar care for the

is shown, for either, 1t should be for the
COW. Everybody wants to feel that
milk and butter provided for the table
has been scrupulously guarded against
anything and everything unclean and
obnoxious to the most fastidious taste.
If the dairy COW is daily curried and

price. Besides, the cows health viii

spraying for curl Leaf.

very important complication must
be considered In spraying for blight
control. This Is the occurrence OF an
other peach disease, the curl leaf. Tke
effects of this trouble are too well
known in California to need descrip-
ton. The control of the disease Is very
successfully accomplished by spraying
in February or March, just before the
buds unfold, but a time which Is t66.,
late for blight prevention.
In the experience Of 1905 tie one fan
spraying controlled both diseases -
most satisfactory condition. In tho
spring Of 1907, however, a very virulent
attack Of curl leaf occurred, especially
in the lower Sacramento Valley, while,
the blight fungus proved somewhat less
active than in the previous season.
The result of this attack is plainly
shown by the results of spraying viz:
that the November or December appli-
cation did not entirely hold the curl
leaf in check, although as successful az
before with the blight. Consequently
some orchards sprayed properly and
successfully for blight were badly In
tured by curl leaf, while other sprayed
later were protected from curl leaf.
All that had been expected Of the
blight treatment held good whenits eff
fects were differentiated from those Of
the other diseases, but the necessity Of
two sprayings rather than one for tie
positive control Of both diseases has BE-
come evident.
Prune, II possible, before spraying.
but do not delay the work on account
of pruning.
1t is recommended by the California
experiment station to spray again for
the prevention Of curl leaf about Febru-
airy Is, or Just before the buds open,
with bordeaux, 2o-2O-2oo, or lime. salt
and sulphur.

In breeding dairy cows a man should
have definite object in view. Too
many shift from beef to dairy vixen
dairy products are high and beef pro-
ducts are low, and then shift back
again from dairy to beef when beef
rises in value. BY this method man
is constantly shifting from one breed to
another, and, as result. he is getting
herd that is good neither for milk nor
beef. A man must have an ideal to-
ward which he is breeding and then
bend all his energies to that end. This
shifting from one breed to another Is
4 suicidal policy that will ruin any man
and any herd.-Kansas Experiment
