CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

II takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
OF resorting to the usual list of medi-
cines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions az
they are and should be treated, re.

Following q most severe winter the
apple trees in many localities pre-
sent a very bad appearance and the
condition has caused much alarm to
be felt among fruit growers. In some
cases whole trees have been killed,
but in most cases q few OF the large
limbs have been killed and these per-
sisting give the tree a "stag-headed"
appearance.
In many case. II is found that those
limbs that were weakened by scale,
overbearing or other cause, are the
ones which suffered the most from the
continued cold.
Many of the limbs that were Sc
verely injured but not entirely killed
pushed out few leaves, but these
never attained full size, but soon with
cred and dropped off. The majority of
such limbs are now. completely dead
and are OF course valueless.
Some limbs, not so badly injured as
these just mentioned, produced al
most normal foliage-in some cases
differing from the healthy leaves only
by the slight yellowness-and on
these limbs fruit has been produced.
This fruit also shows signs of the
great disturbance that has taken
place for 1t is frequently found to be
gnarled, or even watery, and this con-
dition is fairly uniform on any affect
ed branch.
1t Is easy to tell now Just which
limbs are going to live and which
ones are past recovery. 1t is the
fruit growers business now to help
the tree recover from this damage.
He can do this by pruning away the
dead wood scientifically.
First of all he must be governed by
the rules OF good pruning, which re-
Quire that all cuts be made flush
Charlevoix county herald., 1912-10-19

with the main branch. II the fruit
grower wishes to become convinced
of the harm that can be done by leav-
ing stubs, let him examine a poorly
pruned tree and note how the growth
of the wound tissue has been him
dered. He will also find that the stub
has rotted badly and endangered the
limb.
Having pruned the tree properly
and having rid the tree of all the
dead wood, it is now essential that all
wounds be covered to keep out the
germs which cause heart rots. Few
apple trees OF any age have a sound
heart This is due solely to the work
Of fungi. These fungi have entered
the heart wood through uncovered
wounds.
To cover the wounds OF the apple
tree many substances have been sug-
gested, but the matter is yet largely
in the experimental stage. At pres
ent a good white lead paint, applied
thoroughly and frequently renewed,
seems to be the best recommendation
Some success has been had using the
white lead paste, or thinning slightly
with oil, but the former thing seems
to be most convenient. It should be
pointed out that white lead is hard to
obtain in some localities and many
substitutes are offered. If one IS
painting the wounds for beauty only
he can use the fancy mixed paints.
but If he is painting the wounds to
keep out fungi and to protect the
trees, he must use good material.
1t will be found in many instances
that the trees that now appear to be
badly used will recover from the in
jury, and in some cases the killing Of
the limbs has done considerable good
in thinning out trees whose branches
were hopelessly thick

SHEEP AS WEED DESTROYERS
BY r. S. SHAW,
Dean and Director Michigan Agricul.
turaI College.

Early in July OF the present year
a carload OF 259 western wethers was
shipped to the Upper Peninsula sub
station at Chatham for the purpose
OF subduing weeds and sprouts which
had grown up on forty acres of land
cut over several years past The
ground was covered with some June
grass and endless variety of weeds and
sprouts as high as a mans head and
almost impossible to walk through.
Five or six weeks after the sheep
were turned on this tract 1t was prac-
tically bare except for the stubs and
weed stalks too large and woody for the
sheep to consume. About the middle
OF August a grass seed mixture was
broadcasted over the entire tract and
the sheep held on the area for another
ten days to Craze still closer and In
corporate the seed with the soil by
their tramping In wandering over the
land. II is expected that next season
will furnish more abundant pasture
and fewer weeds and at that time
more seed may be added In the same
way.

Secretary Wilson OF the depart

the record crops of 1912.

man to a neighbours with a note say
ing:

The neighbor wrote back:
