Spring Troubles Of Sheep.

From February on until settled
weather in June comes the crop of
troubles with sheep. One fruitful cause
OF much of 1t Il. Van AIstyne has
warned the sheep raisers of the farm
against In an exchange. He says:
Don't let the sheep stay out in the
wet. At this season this must dry out
from the heat Of their bodies, which is
heavy drain on their vital forces,
and this means weak sheep, easily af-
fected by disease. Should they get
thoroughly wet don't shut them up in
close pen where there IS no ventila-
ton, where their breath, with the steam
arising from their bodies, viii create
more dampness. They might better
stay out In the open. II they can be
put under shelter where there Is good
ventilation and freedom from drafts
such shelter should certainly be given.

Roots For Farm Animals.

Roots as part of the ration have 2
decided value for all kinds of domestic
animals. Professor Z. +. Hunt and as
sociates in recent bulletin Of the New
York Cornell experiment station in dis
cussing this subject call attention to
the fact that their effect is tonic as
well as nutritive and that breeders and
feeders of farm animals for exhibition
purposes find roots invaluable.
For most purposes the roots are chop
ped or sliced before feeding. Various
hand and power machines are on the
market for this work Generally
speaking, roots should not be fed alone,
as they carry too much water. a feed
may vary from twenty-five to fifty
pounds d day for a thousand pounds Of
animal, according to the amount OF
dry concentrates and roughage fed. It
is usual to put the cut roots into the
feed box and distribute the ground
grain over them. For poultry, how
ever, the whole roots may be given. al
lowing the fowls to pick them. It IS
said by some that turnips and ruta-
bagas impart flavor to milk. How
ever, If no roots are IN the milking
room at the time of milking and they
are fed just after milking this may be
avoided

SUGAR Reets on AIkaIi Soil.

Beet fields subject to alkah are de-
scribed as being characterized by a
very uneven stand, considerable irreg-
ularity in the size of the plants and
the prevalence of ehlorosis OF the older
leaves and of sprangling taproots. The
cause given for these effects Is that the
allzali retards or prevents the gerInina-
ton of the seed or that 1t destroys the
plants after termination. Clay soils
were found to present greater difficult
ties In this respect than sandy soils.
Attention is called to the fact that
when the density of the soil solution
becomes too great the vitality of the
seed Is destroyed, or, IN the case of al
ready growing plants, the passage Of
water from the soil into the plant is
checked. The strength Of the soil solu-
ton in Colorado analyses was found to
be 297 per cent of alkali where the
soil moisture was equal to 20 per cent
and to $50 where 1t was only 10 per
cent. On the field in question the
heavy adobe soil two days after irrl-
CATION contained from Is to 20 per cent
of water on the side of the plant next
the water furrow. but several days
after irrigation the moisture content
had fallen to to II per cent, and the
plants. while still growing, We're suf-
fering from lack of water.-G. w.

What One Grange Did.

In Berkshire county, at West Stock
bridge Center. is located small but
active grange. It has been organized
but three years and has only eighty
members. This grange rented hall
for few months. then bought farm
and, with the exception of twelve
acres, sold it. all TO neighbors They
then erected dwelling house, wood
she'd and barns. The one and one
half story house was made into a
grange hall, and at the rear of the hall
are kitchen and other rooms. The
barns accommodate twenty five horses.
The members expect to enlarge the
house and convert the second story
into a grange hall and the present hall
into dining room. A grange Of this
sort can soon convert dull, listless
community into hive Of working
bees"

CEMENT MORTAR.

Pipe Or Draintite.

instruction In Mixing It For Making
Pipe or Draintite.
a subject that interests farmers Il
the making Of concrete pipe, either for
use In irrigating systems or as a sub
Btitute for clay tile in drainage From
the Arizona experiment station come
the following practical details of the
manufacture of such pipes In molds of
two feet in length. The method of
mixing the cement mortar will be use
full for other kinds Of cement work
also:
The sand should be selected with the
greatest care. 1t should be free from
clay or dirt and preferably composed
of grains Of varying sizes Roughly
speaking, the strongest and densest
sand for mortar contains two-thirds
coarse grains and one-third much finer
grains. Often a gravelIy sand can be
passed through half inch mesh
screen and then mixed with one-half
its volume Of fine sand.
A cement should be selected which
IS very finely ground, rather slow set
ting and of unquestioned soundness.
Assuming the pipe to be fifteen inch
es in diameter aud the proportions of
the mortar to be one part cement to
three and one-haf paris sand, a batch
can be made up as follows: One barrel
-four sacks of cement and three and
a half barrels seven wheelbarrows) of
sand The sand and cement should be
mixed dry and turned three times with
shoyels. Water is then added in an
amount sufficient to bring the mortar
to a dry consistency-that Is, such
condition as will require much lamp
ing to cause water to stand on the sur
face.
The batch should then be turned
twice or three times and coined. It is
profitable to work the mortar thor
oughly.
Labor and Curing.
Three men-two to lamp and one to
shovel the mortar-a are a satisfactory
team and can mix, mold and sprinkle
at the rate of forty pipes per day of
nine hours. The tamping must be done
in small layers, not over three inches
at time
An important feature in the manu-
facture of cement pipe Is the curing.
About twenty-four hours after the
pipes are made they should be sprin
! kled with water so long as they seem
| to absorb tt freely. For week there
after they should be wetted every day.
They should then cure In the air for a
| week or two before being laid In the
ground.
| On the third day after nlolding a
cement pipe wash of pure cement
should be applied on the inside Of each
| length with a plasterer's brush.

WHY JOIN THE GRANGE !?
Here Are Five Good Reasons, and
There Are Others.

Here Are Five Good Reasons, and
There Are Others.
First Because the grange is the old
est, best and most substantial farmers
organization and the association of the
members helps them to become better
farmers and better neighbors.
Second Because its social features
in n great measure tend upward in the
elevation of the farmer and farm life
and place the wife as an equal in the
rank and file OF the order.
Third Because it is a school of
thought, where men and women have
an opportunity to develop good will
and fraternal feeling among farmers,
giving them greater confidence In them
selves and others and developing a
higher manhood and womanhood
among its members.
Fourth Because it is nonpartisan
and nonsectarian, yet in its education
al and literary work it has a great tend
ency to broaden the farmers mind
and lead him to study ard investigate
questions which relate not only to the
farm and farm life. but to affairs of
state and nation as we'll
Fifth,-Because it gives the farmers
the best Of opportunities to unite their
efforts to secure the enactment of such
nonpartisan legislation as will protect
their interests and that which will be
of a general benefit to all farmers,
whether they be members or not

Co-onerative Trace.

The recent report of Aroostook Po-
mona grange disclosed the fact, says
the Maine Farmer, that another big
grange of that county, Caribou, is do
ing an encouraging stunt in the line
of cooperative trade. The reports
state that the store Of the organization
did sales business of over $4,000
during 1907 with trade stock of but
slightly over $4,000 HouIton, the ban
ner grange for size in the world, does
a much heavier business, but Caribou
Is a-coming, and there is no good rea-
son why scores more Of Maine oranges
should not get in line.

WHY ORGANIZE ORANGES !?
Some Answers Given BY Pennsylvania
Patrons TO the Question.

Patrons to the Question.
Some time ago State Master Hin Of
Pennsylvania sent letter to several
masters Of newly organized oranges
asking for the most prominent reasons
why their oranges We're organized.
Their answers were interesting and
correct We make an extract from
TWO Of three OF them. One master
says. First. cooperation; second. in
surance. third. socIability and the gen
leral promotion Of the farmers inter
ests. : Another says Cooperation
and social advantages and to secure
legislation in the interest of the farm
err 4 third reason given was: Be
cause OF Its social features and because
it has the means of developing high
er manhood and womanhood among
Its members. 1t is a means of develop
/ ing feeling of fraternity and good
will among farmers which cannot be
otherwise developed Because its fun
damental principles are based on right
and justice; also for the benefits de
rived through its cooperative features
In getting better prices on the neces-
saries of life and better rates of insur-
anee." And a fourth gave these rea-
sons: First, to make It possible for
farmers to meet in 4 body and feel as
| though they had some rights-in other
words, make the farmer feel more in
| dependent: second for the social az
vantages;. third. for the advantages the
grange extends to the members in gen
