SHEEP POSSIBILITIES.
Rowing Dog sim the Greatest Barrier
10 the Indu.try.

/" INV ''''
We weep other stock on the farm
horses, cattle, hogs and fowl-and each
has its place in the economy Of tho
farm, but none enter into SO large and
varied limos Of improving and advancing
the wellbeing OF the farm home as the
well kept flock, writes "Flockmaster" in
the American Breeder If the returns
from the flock could be measured along
a few lines or in a single season then it
would be an easy matter to tell what
any one income would cost.
But when the returns extend over years
to come, not only from their fleece and
flesh and offspring, but also from the in
creased productiveness OF the farm on
which they are kept. their naturs prompt
ing them to feed on a great variety of
plants, thus making them relish the weed
as well as the grass or clover In this
way they not only clean the fields Of In
furious weeds but turn both weed and
forage crop into enrichug the land and
fitting It for greater productiveness
Many lose largely on this line by not
having their farms securely fenced In
suitable fields. so that their flock can oc-
cupy the field instead of being folded at
night, and having their droppings just
where needed and without labor or loss.
This, too, is a great advantage to the
flock, for, If they have the liberty to do
so, they will for a considerable part of
the year take a feeding during the night
and improve their own condition as well
as that of the land by so doing.
The rowing. night proving, worthless
dog Is the great barrier to this industry,

years past in the state of Massachusetts, The
object of this prolonged battle is to exterminate

other kindred Species has threatened to destroy

airy to resort to outfits of liberal tank capacity
and many of these range from $50 to 3OO
gallons. For spraying high trees it is neces-
sary to use an elevated tower platform
built upon wagon and with one man on the
tower and two men on the ground spraying may
be carried with the greatest possible degree
of efficiency. OF course a good length of hose is
esseptial-one-half inch being popular size,
and it should be capable of standing 200 pounds

Trees in towns and cities are naturally much
more liable to such injuries as will later require
the practice Of tree surgery than those in the
country districts The ping of building material
against trees, the attaching Of guy wires and the
grading of streets roads all causes pro-
ductive Of injuries. Overcrowdng by other trees,
horse bites and girdling by wire labels other
sources of trouble. One of the worst of all, how
ever, is improper pruning tree butchery. AS
a matter of fact intelligent systematic pruning
and tree surgery are very closely related.
Pruning requires previous intimate knowledge
of the habits of growth of trees whereas surgery
on the other hand requires in addition knoWl-

tight and preventing decay. The principle is
much the same as that employed by the dentists
who fill cavities in the teeth of human beings
and this caring for the cavities in trees is the
only means of preserving affected specimens and
saving to this and future generations some OF the
roblest specimens of woodland growth. The
favorite mixture for filling cavities is composed
OF one part Portland cement to three parts OF
clean, sharp sand. After all decayed or decaying
matter has been removed from the cavity the
whole cavity is filled with this thin mortar, and
then when this has had time to become stiff,

the most useful of all the hundred varieties
of birds to be found in the United States and it
is largely because Of his constant search for and
warfare against the four hundred different varie-
ties Of insects that prey upon our trees The
woodpecker is not merely tree doctor, but is
actually tree surgeon because his most ener-
getic quest is for those insects that injure the
tree internally and to which access can be gained
only by means of the unique equipment with
which nature has provided the woodpecker and
from the employment of which he derives his

Pimples and black-heads show that
the waste material is not being car
ried away properly but is being left
to clog the pores. Sometimes this ac-
emulation OF waste material is due to
lack of cleanliness. The waste ma
terial is left on the skin and clogs the
pores SO they cannot perform their
work. Sometimes the fault is due to
poor circulation or to diseases of the
excretory organs. II one organ is In
capable of performing It's work, the
other organs must of necessity dc
more than their share in trying to aid
