time OF planting to the height from
the ground 1t is proposed to start the
branches to form the head Of the tree,
which should not be over IL to 10
inches. This cutting back will cause
several Of the upper buds to break
and grow, thus starting the top or
head at the proper height. The start
ing branches should be watched and
only such left to grow as are to form
the main branches. The strongest
shoots should be left at equal dis

tend obllquely outward so as to spread

In all pruning to give the desired
form to the head and. especially while
the tree is young, the orchards

Feed dry feeds-no mashes.
For the first feeds use plenty OF
dry oatmeal.
Now is the best time to try your
breeding stock.
Chills, wet food and lack Of sun
shine are the main causes OF bowel
trouble IN chicks.
Where the dropping boards are
made of matched lumber the Job OF
cleaning them is easier.
This is a good time to put a square
Of tar paper in the bottom Of each
nest bow for the benefit Of lice.
If a new poultry house is to be
built this spring see if there isn't a
sandy spot handy on which to locate
It.
If all the chickens and full grown
hens run together. the stronger chick
ems will get most OF the feed and
keep the others poor.
In operating breeders remember
that uniform heat should always be
maintained. II is better to have q
little too much heat than too little.

fere with adjoining ones should b
cut out and the centers Of dense
growth thlnned out; side branches
which are making a stronger growth
than the others should be checked by
shortening in, 30 as to maintain an
evenly balanced head. Some varieties
have an upright habit of growth and
some make slender, struggling
growth. All need attention each year.
In cutting back the last years growth
the top bud should be left on the side
of the branch facing the direction in
which the growth needs to be di.
verted. BY this method there will be
no difficulty in shaping the tree into
any desired form.
All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees arc
young and the growth OF wood is
tender. At such timo the healing
over is more rapid and complete, and
the tree suffers less injury.
Old trees that have been neglected
may be renewed by severe pruning,
cutting back all tho branches that are
not in a healthy condition. This
pruning will cause new, vigorous
shoots to grow. The new growth will
need TO be cut back as occasion re
quires. BY persistent pruning an en-
tire new top may be formed in few
| years.
The pyramidal form differs from
the vase form in that the main lead

FIGHT ON TURKEY PARASITES
Youngsters Must 30 Protected From
Excessive Heat and pampness,
says Government Bulletin.

No kind Of young poultry is so sus,
ceptible to the effects Of unfavorable
conditions as the young turkey. They
must be carefully protected from the
attacks OF parasites, and from excess
sive heat and dampness, says gov'
eminent bulletin, until they have
gained sufficient strength and size to
wander away with the parent tur'
keys and care for themselves on the
range.
Tho chief danger from lice and
mites attacks TO the poults is direct
ly after the poults are Matched, but
the best remedy Is to deal with tho
hen before the young are Matched.
The plumage Of the hen should BIO
busted with insect powder, and close
! down to the skin from head to hook
Joint, being careful not to get It into
the eyes. This should be done at
| least twice a week until two or three
| days before Matching.
! The most careful attentions should
be given to this. Never use lime or
sulphur for this purpose. Nothing ia
better than some insect powder, II 1t

injurious TO the eyes.
1t may often occur, however, that
the hen will not have been properly
treated, and also the lice and mites
will be found on the young, and in
order that the poults may live and
thrive, they must be freed of thees
enemies As soon as the young arc
ready to leave the nest they must DO
examined carefully for lice, which
may be on, the top Of the head, under
the throat or about the wings or
vent. Some of them are gray in color
and difficult to see.
They may be destroyed by the use
Of sweet oil, rubbing a small amount
upon the head and throat; insect pow
der is sufficient for the other parts
Of the body. 1t is very important
that only small amount Of the sweet
oil be used. as too much is injurious
Kerosene should never be used tC
destroy parasites.

Remedy for DIarrhoes,

When simple remedies fail to cor
rect diarrhoea in birds, give the fol-
lowing: Subnitrate of bismuth, one to
four grains twice each day, or pulver-
ized cinnamon bark, two grains twice
each day. The soft feed given the
bird should be dry or as nearly dry as
possible. In case the trouble is
checked too abruptly, give from 20 to
30 grains of salts in q tablespoonful
of water. One or two grains OF cal.
