DWARF APPLES.
They Will Be Grown on Account oil
Their Convenience.

They Will Be Grown on Account Of
Their Convenienos.
G. 7. Powell of Columbia county, N
T., has been conducting some interest
ing experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards. 1t is
the idea of Mr.. Powell that trees of a
low habit of growth will be required
more and more because Of the need of
convenience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale insects make it almost
impossible to thoroughly treat large
trees. and the cost of labor makes a
saving at harvesting time of great i'm
portance.
Two styles Of dwarf trees are under
trial. The so called Paradise is very
dwarf and is short lived. The Doucin
stock is half dwarf, making trees six
teen to eighteen feet high, and prom
ises good results in commercial or
charding. The trees are planted two
or three inches below the union Of
stock and top. In Mr.. Powel's or
chard the trees Of Paradise stock are
set as filters between those of the lar
ger dwarf kind. The rows in the Or
chard are twenty feet apart and the
trees ten in a row. The wide space,
between the rows allow plenty of room
for Utilization by horsepower. while
the trees in the rows will be thinned
out as soon as they become crowded.
The dwarf trees give fruit il few
years from planting. and the amount
gradually increases. The small dwarf
kind lasts six to eight years and the
semidwarfs for about twenty years.
For dwarf trees the Spitzenberg, iona
than and Mcintosh are found success
full. They produce fruit of very fine
appearance and quality, suitable for
packing In boxes for the choicest trade.
For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy,
Roxbury Russet, Twenty Ounce. Astra
khan. Baldwin and Greening are salts
factory.
The dwarf trees must receive good
culture. with plenty Of plant food and
careful cultivation. The soil is plowed
and narrowed in the spring and is kept
in a cover crop of clover during the
summer Scale and other insects are
easily treated in the dwarf orchards
The idea appears SO promising to Mr..
Powell that he is pruning his larger
trees ON the dwarf plan, cutting back
the tops Of the standard trees in order
/ to cause them to spread out and to re,
move the high parts Of the tree, which
make so much difficulty in spraying
old trees.

Worth Remembering.

As a traveller passes through any

the farmer chiefly by the appearance
Of his buildings and farmyards. He
can get some line on conditions by
looking at crops In the Geld or cattle

through the country he depends large

buildings to set the price on every
farm. These considerations OF them
selves should urge all farmers to the
improvement of their premises. But
there are other reasons even more
powerful to influence thoughtful men

FEEDING THE CALF.
Neglect In This Direction the Cause Of
Many Ills.

Neglect In This Direction the Cause Of
Many Ills.
Many Of the ills of calves arise from
giving them milk In poor condition. At
the creameries the watts are sometimes
allowed to get In a very insanitary
state. They are not emptied and scald-
ed out with sufficient frequency, and
sometimes washings from the utensils
are dumped into the watts. In some in
stances the milk Is drawn back and
kept for a day or two before II can all
be fed. 1t has time TO become acid
and otherwise deteTiorate and when
fed in such a condition does not make
a very good food for calves.
The best skimmilk that can be OBJ
tanned for calves is that which has been
obtained from new milk run through
the separator soon after II has been OBJ
tanned from the cow, says Professor
Thomas SHAW. Ii is then fresh. 1t Is
of proper temperature or nearly 80 and
is in its constituents almost as good rs
new milk for promoting growth. IL
the pals in which IL 10 kept are scald-
ed, then the danger from bacterial con-
| animation Ii obviated.
The temperature at which milk is
| fed Ia a matter of much Importance.
Cold milk lowers the temperature of
the stomach and through II the temper
allure Of the body. Though no further
harm should be done. the lowering of
the temperature of the body means
more food. as before any gain can re-
suit the temperature must become nor
NAL, and this means that 1t is made SO
at the expense of food. Milk from
| what Is known az the setting process Is
usually, If not. indeed, always. below
| the normal temperature. If fed. there
fore. at the normal temperature, it
must be heated.
Sometimes it is heated by adding hot
| water. This diiutes It too much.
Again, it 10 heated over a fire. This
changes its properties somewhat and
| is troublesome. Heat is added by
pouring in hot cruel. This Is good
an far as 1t goes, but does not go far
enough usually. Hence. simple as the
| problem of heating milk Ii. 1t Is not so
simple, after all.
