Mr.. Stout also gave another talk on
Birds and their Value to the Farmers
which WAS very helpful. With the aid
Of pictures he showed different types of
and discussed briefly their characters
tics and value. There are 357 varieties
of birds that have been recorded in the
state of Wisconsin and of these perhaps
about 200 live in or visit this county.
Among the beneficial birds named were
the sparrows Except the English), the
wren, the fiycatchers, the warbers, the
nuthatches, the brown creeper the
wood peckers, and the swallows. Very
few birds are injurious. The principal
foods of the birds are insects, worms,
and the seeds of weed and by destroying
these they keep them in check
The method of Offering bounties for
the destruction of harmful birds was ad
vised against. In the first place it has
been found by experience that the bonn-
ty system does not accomplish what it is
intended to do, and secondly it leads to
much fraud and endangers the lives of
allied species, threatening their extinc
ton. Nc one but an expert orntholo-
gist can distinguish the head or skull of
an English sparrow from that Of bay
winged bunting, or the numerous other
sparrows and tinches all Of which are
exceedingly beneficial ~ they destroy

bounty system would drive these birds

MEETING OF The MAN|T0W0C
co. HORTICULT TURAl SOCIETY.


from the State Horticultural Society
visited the trial orchard. The party
consisted of Pres. Coe of Fort Atkinson,
Sec'y. Craneiield of Madison and Mr.,
Toole of Baraboo.
Owing to the small attendance in the
forenoon, the meeting of the county so.
ciety was adjourned until the afternoon
when very interesting program was
| carried ont. The berry crop of the year
was discussed in an informal way, the
members reporting that the berry sea
son this year was very short and that it
was from two, thirds to three fourths of
the ordinary crop.
The chief feature of this meeting was
talk by A. 3. Stout on "Orcbard Cul.
ture He spoke of the different meth
DDS of orchard culture, and discussed q
series Of experiments made by the Ohio
station As this matter is of interest to
every one who has an orchard brief
summary Is given:
There are four kinds of orchard cui-
ture /. The clean culture, in which
the ground is cultivated, to a depth of
about 8 inches, the trees being the only
vegetation grown; 2The cover crop cul
ture, differing from the first in that a
crop is raised during the year and then
turned under rs fertilizer, adding
humus to the soil; 3 The sod culture,
il which only that part of the crop is
cultivated over which the branches
spread, the rest being seeded in to sod {;
1. The sod mulch, differing from the sod
culture in that the part surrounding the
being spaded and kept in state of cul
tivation.
The Ohio Experiment Station during
the last decade has been experimenting
with these different kinds of culture,
giving TO each the same treatment the
same varieties of trees, and the same
care. The difference in results both as
TO the trees themselves and the fruit
produced is striking. At the end of the
fourth year the clean culture method
was discontinued entirely aud the other
three kept up, In all cases the trees
We're far ahead under the sod mulch
treatment, When the sixth year came
around and the crop was harvested the
sod mulch was again far ahead.
These expert nents were not merely to
test the different methods of culture but
for the purpose of determining the ma
ture of root distribution 1t was found
by investigation that the cause for the
great difference is due to the fact that
the apple tree sends out every year a
large number of feeding roots" cores
pOnding to the leaves above ground
These feeding roots are distributed in
the upper two inches of the soil and ev-
en- in the mulch itself if left undisturb
ed. By culture, however, whether
clean or sod, these tiny roots are con
tinnally being torn up thus disturbing
the feeding of the plant. Through these
experiments the nature of the apple tree
has been learned and this knowledge
willenable the horticultur st toaccommo-
date his culture to the needs of the tree
as the agricultural has learned to &C
commoaate his culture to the needs of
the corn plant.
Anyone interested in the further study
of this subject may get this bulletin
from the Ohio Experiment Station.

not guilty and will fight the case. Farm

The COUNTY FAIR.

The county fair opens next week on
Tuesday. If hard work on the part of
the officers of the fair association is to
count for anything the fair this year
will be the best ever held in the county.
1t is the aim of the management to have
this years fair a recold breaker, and as
surance have been received that more
entries will be made in all the depart
ments than ever before. The racing
program indicates that visitors to the
fair will not lack for entertainment in
this line. Those who like to see good
horses ami good racing should attend
the fair. The amusement features of
the fair are bound to please young and
old. The management have secured the
metropolitan Carnival Company with
its entire shows and free attractions,
employing over 1000 people, to show on
the grounds during fair week, day and
night.
Thursday, August 81 will be child
ren's day, when all children will be ad-
mitted to the grounds free Of charge,
and it is expected that the attendance
on this day will breal; all former records
1t will be the big day but on all days of
the fair there will be life and animation
on the grounds. Come to the fair and
bring the boys and girls, ana see the
display Of the agricultural and manu-
factured products of the county. The
fair is necessarily bound to prove beue-
fetal this year as it has in the past. 1t
affords the producer place to display
his products to surpass his rival and TO
win premium for superiority and
thereby develops Il wholesome spirit of
rivalry among the producers. This con-
test means from year to year continu-
ous elevation of the standard of produc-
ton When the individuals of a county
get to exerting themselves the whole
county inevitably is on the move. And
when an entire county is on the move
something beneficial is sure to come to
pass. The Influences for industrial up
lift expand with this contest between
individuals Primarily practical in.
dustrial institution, the fair is of great
Importance as social center 1t brings
together merry crowds of neighhors
who while away pleasant hours in diver
sion and friendly intercourse. 1t deep
ems the community interestand strength
ems the tie that binds neighbor to neigh
Dor. The county fair Is thus H. many
ways a good thing for the entire popula-
ton 1t wields an iudisputable intluen-
ce for growth and it deserves to flourish.
The directors are doing everything, pos
sible TO make this years fair the best
ever held in the county and they deserve
the cooperation of every individual.

poultry. dairy and farm exhibits will ex-
ceed any previous year.
All space in the exhibition hall is TAX
en- up and the exhibits of merchants and
others will be attractively DISPLAYED,
The west side of the agricultural
building is filled with barley sheaves,
and fruit and vegetables in glass jars
The barley has been raised in Mauito-
woe county from seed procured from
RUSSIA, Austria China, Japan, Ger
many and other countries. The Mani.
towoc Go. Co Operative store will have
splendid display of farm produce on
the east side of the building The mid
die section has been reserved for the dis
play of cheese,
The poultry and pigeon exhibit will be
larger than ever before. There are now
about 1900 entries in this department.
which is sure to be center Of attraction
throughout the fair
The Madison Seed Company has bed
