Pruning Shade Trees.

Shade trees should be trimmed up
when young so the top will be at
least twelve feet above the walk.
After this all that is necessary is to
cut out the dead superhuous branches.
The amount and kind of pruning will
depend a great deal upon the species
of trees planted. When planting it is
well to consider how much space you
have for tree and how much light
you must have and select the kind Of
tree that will best fit your case. 1t
is argued that trees should DC topped
to prevent the limbs from breaking
off, and to make them grow thicker.
When large limbs are cut off decay
soon sets in, and the tree dies. Spare
the tree No one admires crippled
tree. For information on pruning
shade trees, write the State Forester,
indianapolis, Indiana.

WOMEN DIsTRUsT THE MAILS.
Can't Be Convinced That Many Let
tiers Are Not Opened.

Now and then you meet woman
who nurses a deep distrust OF the
mails. Whenever she sends on a
letter she feels sure that everybody
in the postal service, from the letter
carrier up, is simply dying to know
what's in the letter she has posted.
"You can't tell me that letters are
not opened and read" says one young
woman. eve had too many come to
me half sealed or with torn envelopes.
But I have found way to fix an
envelope so that if it is opened it can
possibly be resealed without evidence
that it has been tempered with. It's
easy enough to roll a lead pencil
under an envelope flap and to pry
it open, and it's no trick at all TO
steam open a letter. But always
know whether any Of the letters l
get have been opened, for all my cor
RESPONDENTS have adopted my system.
When they fasten down the flap OF
an envelope they draw at each size
three short parallel lines across the
flap to the lower part of the envelope.
No one can open an envelope SO
marked and gum down the flap SO
exactly that the lines will fit. so !

Swiss Honey.

Switzerland is land of flowers.
and its thrifty inhabitants have made
the blossoms very largely contribu-
tory to the food supply. According 10
statistics gathered by the Swiss So
ciety of Agriculturists, there are
two hundred and fifty thousand hives
or colonies of bees in the country
each of which produces forty pounds
of honey during the season, total
of ten million pounds a year. me
average price of Swiss honey for the
year 1909 was twenty-five cents q
pound, giving the years product a
total value of $2.500,O00." AS the
flowers grow without cultivation, and
the bees work without wage other
than caretaking, producing their own
food supply, the honey crop is in great
part clear profit. The swiss honey is

Cement Roofing.

I "A subscriber wishes to- know If he
Tan cover his house with cement
Cement tiles, or shingles are manu-
tactured, we understand, but we have
hot seen them and do not know any,
thing about them, but have no hesi-
tation in saying that we believe that
cement or concrete roofing in some
shape, will be in general use not many
years hence. 1t will be the cheapest
and most durable material for the
purpose that can be obtained, and at
the same time will be indestructible
by fire. Inventors will put their wits
TO work to devise shingles, or small
fat tiles or plates, to put on roofs
like shingles or slate, and devices for
fastening them securely. If we were
to undertake the job we think we
would try to invent some way of plas-
tering the cement upon the sheathing
and making a solid cement cover over
the entire roof. How would it do to
devise a steel or iron net work, with
mesh of an inch or so, to nail over the
sheathing, to hold the cement while
1t hardens? The cement could be
spread over this net work with a
trowel, like mortar upon wall, and
when it becomes hard it would make
solid coating that would be imper-
vious to water and will last an age.
No charge for this suggestion.

Effect of Soy Beans on Butter.

At the Massachusetts, experiment
station they have carried out num-
Der of tests in feeding soy beans to
dairy COWS. They found that: "Soy
bean meal will not modify the chemi-
eal character of the butter fat, neither
did it have any effect upon the sepa-
ration of the fat from the milk serum
the time Of ripening the cream nor
the thoroughness of the churning.
Expert butter scorers could not de-
tect any particular flavor in the but
ter as a result of feeding the meal.
The meal impaired a noticeable soft
ness to the body Of the butter, but not
sufficiently so as to injure its COM
mercial value except during the warm
months. The softness of the body of
the butter was due probably 70 the
Dill contained in the soy bean meal
and not to the bean protein"

The Southdown.

The Southdown sheep has steadily
grown in popular favor.
There has been no boon" in the
Southdown trade, says an exchange,
but there has been a steady, healthy
demand, which is now increasing
rapidly, as the intrinsic merits of the
breed are better known.
Many men in all parts of the coun-
| try not heretofore known as having
any interest in Southdowns, are in
curing where these sheep can be had.
Having learned from practical men
that they possess superior qualities
| as wool bearers as well as mutton
producers, that they are naturally
strong and hardy, and that they i'm
press these qualities on other breeds
with which they are crossed in a re-
markable degree, progressive breed
ers want them for improving the NUT
ton and wool-bearing qualities Of
their herds.
The Southdown breeders report
that they are wholly unable to meet
the demand The demand is largely
from the Southern and Southwestern
regions where the Southdowns are
best known, and this demand upon
the flocks of the East, the Northeast
and the Middle West, which has al
ready depleted the supply, may be
expected to steadily increase.
But because we so frequently find
the Southdown mentioned as the
standard of excellence in judging
other breeds, both for the production
of mutton and wool, and for prepo-
tency in crossing upon other breeds,
it by no means follows that the
breeders should fail to patronize the
advertising columns of the live stock
press in promoting the interests of
the breed. From financial point OF
view the publishers of live stock pa
pers deserve better of Southdown
breeders than they have received. If
all breeders of @Southdowns will adj
vertise, and if the few who do adj
vertise will Gmuble their advertising
efforts, they will increase their profits
and may safely increase their focks
to twice the present size. There need
be no fear of overstocking, for when
the nearby regions are supplied the
great West will gladly take any pos
sible surplus in carload lots.-Inland

About Draft Horses.

Ever since l have been connected
with the business I have strongly ad-
vocated two policies that I believe
would be of great value to horse
breeding interests in America.
First, and most important the
United States Government should re-
quire a certificate Of absolute sound
ness of all stations and mares, issued
by competent and reliable veterin-
arian before leaving Europe; and a
careful inspection by another equally
competent veterinarian on arrival at
port of entry into the United States,
and bar all from landing that did not
pass sound This second inspection
is essential because it is possible for
experts on the other side to so doctor
a horse as to conceal for while GER
tain hereditary defects, but which
will develop again during the voyage.
I have known cases of rickety backs
to show up as horses were led Off the
ship, which had passed veterinary in
spection before shipment.
Absolute soundness is of more con-
sequence than pedigrees in breeding
stock, particularly in draft horses.
All the draft breeds are subject to
side bones, roaring and rickety backs,
and all hereditary. They should not
be allowed to land.
1t is not enough to demand duty
on all that cannot pass inspection sue
cessfully, for that class can be bought
at such low prices in Europe that the
owner can we'll afford to pay duty;
the opportunities being plenty FOL
disposition of such horses to inexperi-
enced buyers.
Second. Excessive weight in draf'
horses should not hold the place II
does among American breeders. Il
is encouraged by judges at nearly al
shows and has led to serious injury
to, and in many cases ruin of, many
valuable stations.
Cramming stations for show OF
sale soon gets their system out o.
order and impairs their breeding
ability.
Knowing as do the inside working
| of the show horse business, 1T is
wonder that so many buyers vii
chase after the prize winners, or the
heaviest stations they can buy, for
large per cent. of them are wortl
more for sausage meat than To-
breeding.-Geo. E. Brown, in the In

Sowing White Pine Seeds.

The great interest taken in forestry
matters Of late has led to many in
quiries for white pine seeds, among
other sorts; and many inquiries have
been made as to the proper way to
raise the seedlings. Nurserymen al
ways SOW the seeds in beds, early in
spring. They make narrow beds OF
about three feet width, to admit OF
the wedding Of them through the
summer. The soil is made smooth,
Just as for any other seeds, and the
seeds sown broadcast and covered
with about half inch Of soil. When
it ia a question of renewing a cut
down forest the seeds are sown broad
cast, but in this way a good many
seeds are lost, not finding their way
to moisture under leaves or other
covering, and perhaps birds taking
some of them, as we'll as animals, too
