town or city lot. make the most of this
small plot of ground at your disposal,
remembering that by cutting back the
new growth every year on the fruit
trees many OF them can be grown In
small space or on the borders near
fences.
You may have one row devoted to
grapevines. another row to raspber-
ries. another row to blackberries. an
other to currants and several rows de
voted to stra wberries. each row run
ming the whole length of the fruit gar
den and so planted as to admit Of
horse cultivation. The disposal of the
rows of apple, peach. pear, plum and
cherry trees can be easily arranged
Plant the rows OF trees far enough
apart to admit the various rows of
small fruits between the rows OF trees.
Grapevines will thrive equally well
when trained to the side OF the house
or to any other building or trained to
the pillars of the porches of the house.
II there is surplus OF fruit 1t may

A Treatment That Sometimes VIII

The following is the standard treat
ment for lump jaw on cattle: II there
be an opening In the tumor or swelling,
inject into the opening about one tea
spoonful of tincture of iodine daily. II
there is no 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
II willing to give up the use OF the
COW as mixer until she Is cured, you
may also, IN addition to the treatment
above prescribed, give her one and a
half to two and a half teaspOonfuls Of
iodide of potassium divided into two
doses, one in the morning and one at
night, to be given In pint OF warm
water Continue this for two weeks
or until signs of iodism appear such
as a scurfy skin, weeping at the eyes
and dribbling from the nose and
mouth Then discontinue for week
or ten days and commence again If
necessary.
The iodide of potassium will FENDER
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.

THE BEAN CROP.
Good Soil and Economy of Space Will
Make Il Pay.


The raising of white beans Is a great
industry in many sections, and it is
profitable because the output is as
much a staple as wheat or corn. Like
these crops, it is a foodstuff which has
keeping quality.
The bean growing industry has grayi-
tated to the poorer lands, so that but
little of 1t Is found in the corn belt.
And yet there are places in the corn
belt and many of them, where beans
might be grown to advantage. Sandy
knobs or wornout fields which will
only make twenty bushels of corn per
acre will return greater cash product
If planted to beans.
Bean culture was once considered
very laborious, but 1t is not necessarily
so now. BY the use of modern ma
chinery it is made easy. They may
be planted with two horse corn plant
er. cultivated with riding plows and
weeders, pulled when ripe. thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
To make the most of the space the
hills may be only six inches apart. but
the rows should be wide enough to per-

is loaded from the puller into hay
racks and hauled to the barn. Spread

The old plan was to get the family
together in the evening about the
kitchen table and each by handtuls
picked out the bad specimens. But

into any room. The motion is con-

Keep in mind the tree form when
pruning. Pinch off the top when the
cane is about four feet high. The lat
erals will then grow, and you will have
a bush something like tree pruned to
vase form. The laterals should be cut
back to one or two feet In length, and
the new growth will then make bush

Grasses are widely distributed. We
usually think of them as existing in
our 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

THE WHEAT.
Binding and Shocking 1t So as to Get
Best Results.

Best Results.
From the time the wheat stands
waving yellow In the field until 1t is
In the hands of the miller is an I'M
portant period. The cutting of the
wheat may not be difficult task, but
much depends on how well the grain
is gathered and bound and shocked.
IL the machine does not gather the
grain well, a good deal of it will be
lost falling down before the sickle or
stringing out from beneath the aprons.
Care should be taken to avoid this.
The binder should also gather the
straw evenly. so that the bundles may
not look ragged or part be lost in the
shocking The binder should be shift
ed just right, SO that the bundles may
be bound near the middle. Binding
too close to the butts or heads will
make them inconyenient to handle, as
we'll as cause the dropping out of
part of the bundles
The shocking of the wheat Is very
important, especially in those sections
where rains and winds are frequent
The bundles cannot be thrown together
any old way and be expected to stand
the storms OF wind and rain.
Ny experience has proved that the
best and strongest shock is made In
the following manner; Place three
pairs of bundles in row, then set one
bundle at each end and three on each
side. The caps should be placed on
lengthwise of the shock and spread so
they will cover the top OF the shock
and hang down on the sides, protect
ing the heads Of the wheat and turn
ing the water like the roof of a house.
For twenty years we built our shocks
in this manner and seldom ever lost
any wheat from winds or rain. 1t was
often necessary to go over the field aft
er a severe windstorm and replace
some of the caps, but seldom did we
have TO rebuild shock.
After the wheat is all cut and shock
ed it is the best plan to have 1t thrash
ed as soon as It will do. 1t can then
be stored away IN rat proof granary
or hauled direct to market. We be-
lieve it is wise to sell Immediately
after thrashing The higher price for
which one may hold will not more
than Offset the shrinkage and loss in
handling. and sometimes the higher
price Is never realized. A person had
better take a few cents less than run
the risk.

BEES AND HONEY.
The Way They Gather Their Harvest
Eronn thu Flowers.

The Way They Gather Their Harvest
From the Flowers.
Bees gather honey from the nectar
vessels of flowers and plants. The
sugar, starch, albumen, etc, are car
ried up by the sap to the seed bear
ing pods. To a marked extent nature
is assisted by the natural law of heat
and cold to produce a sweating or con-
densatio of moisture, which we call
dew. This takes place in the CO.
rolla of the flower, making it more
easy for the plant to deposit its over
flow of sugar, starch, albumen, etc,
In the dew already in the flower.
This sweet nectar is carried up by
the sap and discharged In the dew
through the pores Of the plant. When
the sun rises evaporation takes place.
and the result is tiny drop Of nee
tar in the cup Of the flower. The bee
goes 10 the flower and with its long
silken tongue sips up this drop of
nectar and deposits. 1t into Its honey
sack back of the throat.
The bee is provided with stomach
for its physical well being back Of
this storage stomach. and all the hon
ey that goes to this stomach is used
for the life or physical demands of
the bee When the bee has its stor
age tank full OF nectar 1t straight
way files to the hive and exudes it
into the CELL, The bee is endowed
with the power of exuding as natural.

THE WHITE GRUB.
A Dangerous insect Enemy of the
Fruit Tree.

A Dangerous Insect Enemy of the
Fruit Tree.
The peach borer or white grub.
which bores holes through and under
the bark of the roots of peach trees.
weakens and often kills trees and may
be considered one of the greatest enc
mics the peach has to contend with.
This insect changes from a worm to
fly in August or September. At that
time the worm comes to the surface of
the ground, constructing cocoon an
inch in length, which is attached to the
base of the tree or perched on the
ground, end upward. In few weeks
Ii appears as a moth and begins to de
posit its small eggs on the body of the
tree near the ground. Each body lays
300 or more eggs and dies within two
weeks. In October or November the
eggs hatch, and the little borers,
scarcely large enough to be seen, make
their way down to the ground at the
base of the tree. When warm weather
comes In spring they begin active work
and increase rapidly In size, working
first in the bark of the roots nearest
the base OF the tree and then extend
ing down four or six inches into the
lower roots. eating their way as they
go. The worst work Is done In May,
June and July, and these are the
months when the peach trees should
have most careful attention. Young
peach trees require more attention than
older trees. The roots Of older trees
