ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Promptly gather up and burn all
brush and rubbish in the orchard.
When spraying do not work with
bare hands. They'll be sore If you
do. Put on pair of rubber gloves.
Remember when you plow in the
orchard that the roots are very near
the surface. Three inches is plenty
deep enough.
Some fruit growers say that it is
not good plan to plow an orchard
when the trees are in blossom, bet
ter do it before or after.
How long will our orchards bear
the neglect seen on every hand? We
need less of extensive farming and
more of intensive and sensible op-
erations.
Now, don't wait till the last NOM
ent before ordering the berry plants
Give the folks who grow them a
chance to fill the order in good shape
without being hurried. Better for
them and surely better for you.
When the leaves begin to grow,
the canker-Worm may commence TO
move up on the trunks of fruit and
other trees. Bands of tar or print
er's ink, if put on the tree trunks
in time, will catch many of the pests.
AS soon as the leaves start on cur
rant or gooseberry bushes, cut out
all sickly-looking or non-starting
canes and promptly burn the cut
tings. Borers are probably within,
and in this way they can be kept in
check.
Get ready to fight the codling-moth
which causes wormy apples. Next
month we'll tell you how In the
meantime, fruit growers should pre-
pare themselves for the campaign by
ordering first-class spray pump and
the necessary attachments.-Fro

Wheat bran and oats make strong
bones in the colt,
When the colt is dropped 1t should
receive nourishment from the dam
within the first half hour
An attendant should be on hand
at the time of birth, for a little
timely help has saved many a valu-
able colt.
A lazy man should never breed
colts, for he must be alert and on
the job If he wishes to succeed.
Start the milk with the thumb and
finger If the colt is not very strong,
or If the udder is at all hard.
Take the chill off the water for the
mare, and feed her carefully and
keep her quiet for a number of days.

THE POULTRY YARD.

Perfect cleanliness from now on
will cut short the louse crop of June.
If you stamp date on your eggs,
sell them before the date gets old.
Keep your meat scraps where they
will not get stale and sour. Fresh
feed is what makes healthy hens.
Feed little and often, and be care
full about overfeeding. This is the
great secret in feeding brooder
chicks.
Danish the fighting stock from your
pens. Give them place all by
themselves. That is the best kind of
arbitration.
Cook some beans or peas. mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a
week and see if you don't get a great
many more eggs.
Have everything convenient Steps
saved in the care of poultry will
mean that much less labor. Labor
costs money.
When the brooder' chicks seem
very thirsty, wild for water, let them
drink and feed very lightly while
so feverish.
Many setting of eggs has been
spoiled by making the nest on the
floor where the wind can come up
through the cracks under the old
mother hen.
April is good month to hatch
goose eggs. 1t is also an excellent
time for getting out ducklings.
Stock hatched now will be best for
next years breeding.
Wet, cold feet do not do your hens
any good. Chills them and keeps
them back from doing their level
best, and that is the only thing that
will satisfy you and me.
Don't be in hurry to remove the
hen and her brood from the nest.
The tender little chicks need warmth
more than they do feed for the first
twenty-four hours.
Does that old hen lay? Try this
if she does not: Feed her all the
chopped clover she will eat, with an
ounce of lean meat every day. If
there is any lay in her, that will
bring it out.-April Farm Journal.

THE NEW
PROCESS LIME.

The following letter and the reply
thereto are herewith given as an
example of the correspondence of
the Division of Zoology of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
Hundreds of letters are being re-
ceived every day by State Zoologist
Surface in regard to every phase of
insect pests, diseases of plant life,
apparatus and material for spray
ing, the value of various fertilizers
etc.
Dear Sir: The other day a farm
er talked to me about lime He
told me that another man told him
about lime manufactured by new
process. The man claimed that 200
pounds of the new process lime, ap-
piled with a seed drill was worth
as much as 35 bushels of the ordi-
nary lime, Did you make any ex-
periments IN this line, or do you
know whether there is any truth in
truth in it, would you please send
me the address of parties who man
ufacture such lime?"
Answer; Replying to your recent
letter making inquiry concerning
manufactured or prepared lime.
beg to say that the statement is en-
tirely preposterous and absurd to
the effect that two hundred pounds
of this new process lime would be
worth as much as thirty-five bush
els of ordinary lime. In fact, it is
the same chemical material, and is,
consequently, worth no more. |
count the new process lime idea as
one of the modern agricultural
fakes, now being thrust before the
public. The material has no great
er fertilizing value in it, in any re-
gard whatever, than the freshly
burned, ordinary quicklime, and it
has only the advantage of being
more finely divided, 1t should be
classed with the seedless APPLE
the 'borer-proof fruit tree untest-
ed scale remedies, and other, fakes
that are now being put before the
public. While it is not quite as bad
as these, because it has some merit
in the finer division of the lime. yet
the statements of the value of such
lime are entirely overdrawn."

GRANGE.
THE HYDROMETER
AND ITS USES

The proprietor of a fruit farm in
York county wrote to Prof. II. A. Sur
face. State Zoologist, Harrisburg,
inquiring in regard to the use of the
instrument known as a hydrometer,
in testing the strength of the lime
and sulphur solution when trees
are to be sprayed. 1T is difficult
task to boil every batch of solution
to equal strength" he added.
The reply of Professor Surface
embodied the following:
The hydrometer for testing
lime-sulphur wash is immersed in
the dilute solution which you are
ready to put on the trees. 1t will
show the proper degree of dilution
to have the strength needed to kill
the scale. This is II and three
spaces below, which is equal to
1913 You understand it might
be better to have it little stronger,
and certainly it should never be
weaker.
81 agree with you that it is diff
ticult to boil each batch of the solu-
tion of equal strength, and you can,
of course, boil it and store it, and
use the hydrometer test to get the
degree of dlution it should have
when you are ready to use it,
In making it of concentrated
strength, according to the formula
of one pound of lime and two
pounds of sulphur, boiled in one
gallon of water, il will give a
strength of 1.3, at which it can be
stored without crystallization, to be
diluted when wanted. During this
time it should be in a closed vessel,
away from the air.

and Walnut streets, Philadelphia.

CAUSES OF FAILURE
IN SPRAYING,

A very prominent professional
man of Sunbury, Pa, wrote to State
Zoologist Surface, Harrisburg, say
ing that the lime-sulphur preparation
sprayed on his trees had failed in
its efficacy" He acknowledged that
he was lat loss to account for it's
failure;" and then inquired whether
the preparation that he had seen ad-
vertised, known as Target Brand
Scale Destroyer" is superior to the
lime and sulphur heretofore used.
Prof. Surface gave his reasons as
to the probable cause of the i'll sue
cess with the lime-sulphur solution
and also his views as to the Scale
Destroyer mentioned. He wrote as
follows:
II note that your trees still seem
to be infested with San Jose Scale,
Notwithstanding that you had them
sprayed with lime-sulphur. / can
say that there have been more sue
cessful results from spraying with
this material than with any other
However the commercial solution
should be used stronger than is gem
orally recommended 1t is possible
that your trees were sprayed with
the commercial or concentrated
material. If so. it is quite likely
that the operator diluted il with
eleven times its bulk of water, ac-
cording to the ordinary directions OF
the manufacturers and agents.
This, however, makes it too weak,
and it does not then kill the scale.
1t should not generally be diluted
more than one to eight Also, in
making the home-boiled wash. peo-
pie often fail to boil it long enough,
which should be an hour; and they
often do not apply II with absolute
thoroughness. The trees, bushes.
ETC., should be sprayed from one side

AN ODD EXPERIMENT.
IL Explains How Cyclones Drive
StrawS Through Tree Trunks.

IL Explains How Cyclones Drive
Straws Through Tree Trunks.
If a needle is showed into a cork
until just the tip end shows on the
opposite side and the needle is then
broken off so that the upper end is
flush with or hidden under the top
surface on the cork an interesting
thing may be shown, known as the
Increase of pressures. If this cork
be now placed needle point down OH
copper cent or other small coin a
light blow on top of the cork with a
hammer will drive the needle through
the copper. The explanation is as
follows:
Everything has its limits of re-
ristance, and we may define this in
terms to the square inch that will
overcome it. Take a ten pound
weight and place it on a surface of
two square inches; the pressure is
evidently five pounds to the square
inch. Now take away one of the
square inches, and there is Just as
evidently a pressure of ten pounds
to the square inch. Decrease this
surface to the dimensions of a needle
point and put five pound blow on
the needle head. The pressure to
the square inch at the point is tre-
mendOus. So, of course, it can be
forced through almost anything.
provided the needle is kept from
breaking. For this purpose the cork
is supplied, which keeps the needle
from starting to bend, having for
this purpose what might be called
an infinitely inclined plane or
straight line.
This phenomenon explains several
things of frequent occurrence Cy-
clones sometimes drive straws
through trees three and four feet
thick. The compressed air round
the straw keeps it from bending, and
the enormous force driving it forces
it through.
OF course in the case of the needle
and, in fact, any pointed instru-
ment gradually getting larger from
the point the advantage of the in
clined plane is made use of in con-
tinuing the motion. AS it takes
much less force to roll a barrel up
an inclined plank into a door than
to lift it directly from the ground
to the door, so we can separate two
things or two parts of the same thing
easier with pointed instrument
(Which is the same thing as round
wedge) than with an instrument of
the same size all the way-St. Louis

from straw stacks.
Sheep that have been chased by
dogs never do quite so well after

out.
There is more profit in a grunting
pig than in a squealing one.
In some cases it may be necessary
to dissolve some EPSON salts in the
feed.
Be sure the sows are not consti-
pated. Give roots, fruits and oil
meal in the feed.
There is a great shortage in the
hog crop throughout the whole coun-
try, and it can only be replaced by
keeping the best brood sows and
growing more pigs
You had better scour the feeding
pail than lose a calf from scours.
When you hurry about milking,
the COW feels uncomfortable and
shortens up on you a little. That
hurts you and hurts the COW as well
Some folks get to be pretty good
guessers in determining the temper
ature of cream, but nobody ever
came within gunshot of the ther-
mometer in this respect.
The root cutter is almost an in
dispensable machine on the farm
The life of many valuable COW
would have been saved if the apples
and potatoes fed had been run
through a root cutter.
If the feed gets short before the
pasture is ready, it is better to buy
more.
There is no economy in cutting
down the feed at the freshening per-
iod.
Grow as much feed as is possible
Get the soiling crops in as early as
the land will permit. Do not lose a
day.
Sow good acreage of oats and
peas. All that is not eaten green
can be harvested as oats-pea hay.
Go slow the first days of plowing;
II will make a gain in the end.
During the first days of plowing
the collars should be raised often
