HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Bearded Vultures.

In the London Geological society's
eastern aviary there is now living
splendid example Of the lammergeyer,
or bearded vulture. This species
(Gypaetus harbatus) resembles the
eagle in having the head covered with
feathers. 1t is a distinctly handsome
bird. and, being without the bald head
of the typical vultures, lacks their re-
pufsive look. In its habits and mode
of life it resembles the true vultures,
except, perhaps, that it is rather more
dainty in its tastes. Stories have
been told of children carried off by the
lammergeyer, but they are highly i'm
probable In some countries 1t is
called by a name meaning bone
breaker" from its habit of carrying
bones up in the air and dropping
them from a great height in order to
get at the marrow. 1t inhabits the
mountainous regions of southern Eu-
rope, and it's range extends through
Asia Minor and the Himalayas to
China.

Construction of Feed Rack.

their exercise. Where the straw and
waste hay and fodder was formerly
strewn around the yard and tramped
In the mud there is now no such waste.
The yards can be kept clean and all
the roughage used. The racks are also
helpful to a certain extent as protec-
ton from the weather.
The illustration gives a very fair
idea of the construction of the racks.
They are 16 feet long, eight feet wide
and eight feet high They are mount
ed on three 2xS skids and can be
drawn to different parts of the yard.
The framework is built around six up
right 4x4s braced with 2x4s around
the top. The Stats in the rack are
made of fencing The rack is floored
with inch stuff and sided up with 1x12
boards over which is a 2xS board to
add strength where the cattle lean
over the rack. A 2x6 80 inches above
the 2x8 and around the rack prevents
crowding and adds strength to the
rack. A rack of this kind calls for
the following bill of material:
twenty-five pieces of fencing 10
feet; 8 AXIS, 16 feet high; 2x4s, 16
feet high; 9 boards 1x12x16; 2x6s,
16 feet long; 2x4s, 16 feet long; 1928
feet flooring; KISS, 16 feet.

Uncle Remus VS.. Ibsen.

From Uncle Remus" Morris was
always willing and eager to read
aloud, or "Huck Finn" which he half
jestingly pronounced to be the great
est thing, whether in art or nature,
that America had produced. For re-
finement of style, for subtle psychology
in creation, he had but little taste. He
could not admire either George Mere
dith or Stevenson. When he was in
troduced to Ibsen's plays and called
on to join in admiring their union Of
accomplished dramatic craftsmanship
with the most modern movement of
ideas, they were dismissed by him
with the terse and comprehensive
criticism, Every clever l must say

KIND OF COWS TO KEEP.
Raise Them Yourself and Be Sure OF
Their MiIk-Giving Capacity.

1t is not sufficient to have a certain
number of cows. They should be
adapted to the work-dairy cows, not
beef animals, that can only produce
sufficient milk to raise a veal calf.
Such cows are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
COWS, then through selection and
breeding the producing capacity of
your herd can be increased.
If you do not feel equal to the ex.
pense, cooperate with your neighbor
and purchase a good dairy sire. The
influence of good sire towards i'm
proving the quality of stock, especial
ly where grades are kept, is very
marked.
Lay your plans for silo at just as
early date as possible. The silo has
come to be recognized as one of the
most important buildings on the dairy
farm.
Care should be taken not to feed
COWS food capable of imparting OBJ
jectionable odors or flavors to cream.
Turnips and other strons-havored
foods can only be fed Immediately
after milking, but it is better not to
feed such foods to dairy COWS. 1t is
not necessary and it is too risky.

PEA WEEVILs AND THEIR WORK.
Examine Your Seed Before Planting
To Discover Presence of Pest.

There is only one generation of the
pea weevil each year, says S. A. John
son of Colorado. The eggs are laid in
early summer on the outsides of the
pea pods when the young peas are just
beginning to grow. They are deep yell
low in color and glued fast with a
sticky substance, which turns white
on drying.
When the eggs hatch, the young
grubs burrow through the pods and
into the peas where they live and
grow until after the pea is ripe for
harvest.
The presence of the weevils in the
peas may be readily detected when
the peas are picked for table use by
the presence of dark spot on the
surface, as though the pea had been
pricked.
Before going into the adult stage
the grub gnaws round hole nearly
or quite through the skin of the pea,
so that 1t may escape when the proper
time arrives.
A careful examination of the peas
before planting ought to reveal these
holes if they are at all numerous.

AN ACRE or PEACHES.

able. 1t contains 1T trees, and for the
past few years has netted him about
500 per year, 1t is only nine years
old. The crops this year was a very
good one and the high prices paid for
peaches made 1t more than usually
profitable. He shipped III crates OF
peaches to Chicago and received for
the best ones $1,40 per crate. In each
of these high-priced crates there were
40 or "A peaches, which made the price
a little more than three cents pei
peach. He sold altogether 259 bushels
His net receipts were about $3.50, after
deducting commissions, freight and all
expenses except picking and packing

lates farmers to continue to try to
grow peaches, in spite of the many OBJ
stacles in the way.
