THE ROSE BED.

May is a good month in which to start the rose bed. Roses like a rich and rather firm soil. the florist recom- mending a mixture of one-third clay soil, one-third wood loam and one third well routed barnyard manure. The bed in making should be worked up to a depth of about eight or ten inches and the soil thoroughly mixed. Roses are fond of sunshine, and the bed should be located so that it will get a good lot of 1t. Much of the dam age to leaves and blossoms can be prevented if the bushes are given a daily shower bath with water under good pressure. Should they still be at tackled, powdered hellebore or common road dust will fix the green slugs, and spraying with a solution of tobacco water will knock the red spiders and green lice. The bed should be hood frequently to keep the soil loose and watered often enough to keep 1t moist. AS to varieties, there is a great choice. Of the tea roses for summer planting, the American Beauty. Carnot, Bride, Victoria, Golden Gate. Mamen Cochet. Liberty, Mime. Chatenay and La France are among the best. Of the hardy roses, General Jack, Laing. Dickson, Rohan, Morrison, Neyron and Wilder are very satisfactory. To do we'll roses need care. If they receive 1t they give a most grateful and delight full return.

A cosTaY EXPERIENCE.

By way of showing that hawks and owls are in reality friends and not enemies of the farmer a recent maga- zine article cites an experience which the state of Pennsylvania had a score of years ago. In the year 1885 the state legislature passed what was known as the scalp act, which author ized the payment of a bounty of 50 cents a head on all hawks and owls killed in the state. Under this act bounties were paid on 100000 birds. which was accepted by the farmers as pretty good proof that the chicken killers were exterminated. But this was not the end of their troubles Within period of two years gophers, field mice and noxious insects appear ed in such numbers that the farmers were powerless to cope with them, and the losses which they suffered from this source as the direct result of the indiscriminate hawk and owl slaugh- ter were placed at $4,0O0,0OO. A Wash ington authority has found that 90 per cent of the food of the red shouldered hawk, usually known as the then hawk" consists of injurious mammals and insects, while POO droppings of the barn owl were found to contain the skulls of 454 small mammals, 225 'of this number being of the destructive field or meadow mouse.

COOPERATIVE BREEDING.

Professor R. s. Shaw of the Michi- gan Agricultural college is the orig inator of plan for cooperative breed ing in dairy cattle that gives promise of being of real value 10 those sections where it is followed. The plan in brief is as follows: A community con- trolling about 120 COWS is organized into a cooperative breeding associa- tiOn. This number of cows are divid- ed as nearly as possible into three groups of equal number. it being i'm material just how many cows the in dividual farmer may have. A breed is then selected which is most in favor in the neighborhood and three register ed SireS purchased. one being placed with each block of forty cows. The first cost as we'll as the cost of keeping the bulls Is divided among the mem bers of the association on the basis of the number of cows owned b. each. At the end of the two year period. in order to avoid inbreeding. the bulls are transferred to other blocks and at the end of the second period trans ferred again, an arrangement which makes it possible to keep all three bulls in the neighborhood six years without inbreeding. This arrange ment makes it possible to keep a sire of known merit during his best years, a plan that is seldom carried out und T the present system of entirely inGi- vidual management. Besides this, the new plan tends to create a community interest in a single breed and gives a much better market for buyers who wish to purchase dairy cows of a single breed in considerable numbers. While the plan has not been worked out as yet for full six year period, Its advantages are so apparent that it might well be adopted in any strict ly dairy section.

WEIGHT OF EGGS

A quite extensive test which has re- gently been made in determining the weight of eggs shows that they vary in weight from fifteen to twenty-eight ounces per dozen, the average weight being about twenty-two ounces. Such figures as these would seem to justify the selling of eggs by the pound and not by the dozen, especially in a sea son when they have ranged from 9 to 40 cents per dozen regardless of size.

London shipping experts have re gently hit upon the plan of equipping refrigerator cars with mechanical re- frigerattng plants, which consist of ammonia compressors and condensers placed on top of the cars. Evaporators are placed inside the cars to keep the temperature down when the cars are not in motion. The compressor is driven with power secured from one of the axles. The present system of ice refrigeration of cars Is one which involves immense trouble and expense in the transportation of fresh meats and perishable fruits and vegetables. The new system of cooling Is looked upon with much favor by Pacific coast shippers. who are Investigating its merits and will very likely adopt 1t.

The law of growth, everywhere rec ognized and given forceful expression in the phrase ''To him that hath shall be given" has it's tragic as well as its beneGcent aspect. This appears in the handicap which the tree labors under which is overshadowed and outtopped by its more thrifty neighbor, in liabil. ity to disease in one who lacks phys ical strength and in the proneness to evil of the person lacking moral fiber and backbone. A majority of the agencies which are today at work in the uplift of life are directed to a counteracting of the baleful effects of this wise and usually benefcent law of development.

Some very large claims are made for the productive capacity of the new spineless cactus. It is said that under favorable conditions the plants will produce 300 tons of cactus fodder per acre and from ten to twenty tons of fruit of as fine quality as the banana.

The Argentine ant is a new insect pest that bids fair to do much damage to agricultural and horticultural inter ests on the Pacific coast, where it has recently made Its appearance. In the respect mentioned it seems to be the most destructive species of the ant tribe, while a factor that causes Its appearance to be viewed with alarm iS the claim that its bite is fatal to in fants. Already scientists of the Pacific coast are studying its habits and try ing to devise methods for its extermi- nation.

A large part of the ugliness of bulls and stallions is due to the fact that they are usually given pretty hearty rations and have little or nothing to do. Many horse breeders make a busi- ness of working their stallions, and not only are they gentler, but their condition is better and their get more vigorous. The working of the bull is not so easy a matter, but some breed CTS do so with like satisfactory re suits.
