Introduction of New Plants.

But few farmers have any idea of
the great work or government is do
ing in the way of introducing new
plants and fruits from the old world
into the United States. During the
last fiscal year more than 1000 seeds
and plants were brought in. The De.
partment of Agriculture has explorers
constantly on the lookout for ali kinds
OF plants and fruits that seem capable
OF good yields in our own country
They are picked up especially in Man
churia. Korea and China There are
specimens from wild apricot trees ten
feet in diameter. There are wild
grapes and wonderful persimmons and
bush cherries and other curious and
valuable specimens that most OF as

And dress in mitfit suits;

In charging an incubator with eggs

demand different treatment. Moisture

Texture of the Fleece.

Wool substance is what the wool
grower Is looking for, provided it is
not made up of too coarse fibers, which
is not usually the case Density and
fine fbers are usually associated.
A dense fleece may usually be recog-
nized in several ways. A fire close
fleece generally is more oily than a
coarse fibered one. An oily fleece is a
dust catcher, and usually presents a
dark, gummy outer appearance. Sec
ondly, a close fleece separates into
small areas when the mass of the fleece
Is stroked with the hand, while a
coarse fleece presents larger areas
when handled in the same manner.
Appearance frequently is alone sufh-
cient to distinguish the fluffy opo-.
fleece from the close fleece.
The most satisfactory way Of de-
termining density is by grasping a
handful of wool as IT grows on the
sheep. If there is substance to the
wool, handful is secured. If substance
is lacking the hand will not be full
This test for density can be applied
rapidly in a flock and is very salts
factory.
A dense fleece is valuable not alone
for the increase in quantity of wool
but for the protection that it affords
the animal from the elements and the
dust and char that flies about in the
yards where they are fed. 1t is only
necessary to compare the open and the
close fleece to appreciate this differ

Comparison of Fodder and siIa

y
Frequently one hears TIE complaint
that the hard work incittsns to filling
a silo far outbalances the superiority
of ensilage over dry fodder. They
claim that dry fodder is good enough
and that although the cattle do not
eat all OF L they eat that which con-
tains the me st nourishmert- IT is a
readily conceded fact that there Will
Be waste in connection with fodder
even in its best form.
The Indiana Experiment Station has
shown that this waste varies from 20
to IS per cent. The same authority
tells MS that cattle viii consume all Of
the silage II il 10 not fed In excessive
quantities Further than this, the ST.
lage goes TO them in the shape that
nroyides a succulent feed most nearly
srpplementing the condition Of pas
ture. 1t is generally accepted that the
dairy cow does best when upon fresh
grass. Granted that this Is the case.
the more nearly you can produce fresh
grass conditions the better viii be
your returns and the more profitable
dairying will be.
After all. when you come TO figure

NOW, there is little difference between
the work necessary for filling the silo
and getting the dry feed ready for
feeding.
There is another point to be taken
into consideration and that Ii the fact
that the grain in the silage is all ready
for feeding without grinding II the
grain is TO be fed in connection with
the shredded fodder. II viii be neces-
sary TO grind or chop : * Least This

Proper Construction of Chimney.
A chimney built up from joists or
brackets Is always source of danger
because of the liability of cracks from
springing of the timbers. Chimneys so
built often have as their base a plank
whose only protection from sparks and
heat is layer of mortar on it. Many
fires result from this practice. Soft
bricks disintegrate. Mortar crumbles
out, leaving openings. Nails driven
into brick chimneys are likely to come
out, leaving holes.
A joist end should not rest in a
chimney wall. Tile chimneys of all
sorts are unsafe because they are like
ly to crack off at the level of the roof
where the cold air strikes them. A
hood should make no Offset to hold
SCOT The chimney top should be in
spected and SCOT swent down and re-
moved from below. Pipes that are rot
exactly the same size must not be put
together. Crimping a piece of pipe to
make it small enough to fit leaves an
opening for sparks.
No chimney should be smaller than
2xS inches, which is the length of a
brick. If any green wood is used the
fiue should be Sx12 inches, to make
room for the escape OF water vapor.
