Migratory Birds.

In recent issue Of the National
Geographic Magazine Mr. Wells Cook
of the United States biological sur
vey, has presented an interesting
study of bird migration. In his article
he tells US that the cliff swallows
which nest In Nova Scotia leave the
Gulf coast Of Mexico about March 10
and arrive at their destination two
months later, on May 10. Most of the
birds that spend the winter In Central
or South America, he says, take the
direct route across the gulf instead of
going via Texas or by way of Florida.

ney means single flight OF from 500
to 700 miles with no alighting place.

FARM ANIMALS
CRAVE FOR SALT
Placed Within Easy Reach
They wiI1 Consume just
What They Need
and NJ More.

All farm animals have an instinc.
tive craving for salt. But II 1t is so
placed as to be always within their
reach. they will consume just as much
as they need. and no more. 1t is only
when it has been kept from them for
a long period that there Is danger Of
their eating too much. It is therefore
an excellent practice to keep It in a
box or boxes where they can have
access to 1t whenever they desire.
When they are salted, as is the prac-
tice with many farmers, only once a
week, while some may get enough.
others may suffer from a deficient
supply. Salt promotes an active CIR
culation Of the blood. which never be-
comes thick and sluggish SO long as
the supply is plentiful; 1t assists di-
gestion. and is often preventive .of
disease. 1t is so cheap that no stock
raiser can really afford to deny to his
animals all they want of it.

Much alarm is done by the excellent
men and women who gather up all the
charges OF cruelty against surgeons
and physicians and publish them in
the interest Of humanity. We make
no exception, not even in the case Of

is no class in the community which
furnishes more heroic examples OF
devotion to the interests of mankind
than the nurses and physicians who
spend their lives not only In minister

ways to relieve suffering and in trac-
ing out the secret causes of disease.
Every month we read Of physicians
who have lost their lives In the con-
duct of experiments designed solely

(By PROF. o. B. WHITE. Colorado.)
1t has been proven by long expert
ence that IL properly done, the graft
ing over Of old trees by top-working
brings quicker. returns than the re-
planting of young trees. In fact, it is
crop an the three-year-old top of a
top-worked tree.
Top working, as means Of estab-
fishing a weak-growing variety on a
stronger root system than its own. is
coming into high-favor.
The practice Of grating is not q
mysterious art, as many suppose, but
Is $50 simple that any careful orchard
LIST can and should do 1t himself. All
common fruit trees can easily be
budded or grated.
The apple and pear may be inter
grated upon each other, and this Is
true Of the peach, plum, apricot and
almond. However, such wholesale
mixing is not good practice, and the
pear and apple never take good
union.
Peach gratis start vigorously upon
apricots, and plums upon the peach
trees.
Growth in diameter of the tree only
takes place in a very small region
between the bark and the sap-wood
This part of the stem Is called the
cambium, and In this thin layer oi
tissue the cells are still active while
the activity Of each succeeding layel
on each side grows less and less.
The important point in grating Il
to see that the cambium layers O
the stock and the scion are matched
at some point. When the growth Il
active we say the bark "peels." Bud
ding is done during this period, no
only because the ease with which th
bark separates from the wood sim
plifies the work Of inserting the bud
but as the growth Is more active th'
! tissues Of the bud and the stock ar
more likely to unite.
1t does not pay to graft trees Wh1cl
show poor growth, and 1t seldom pay
to top-work any crab. 1t is also ques
tionable as to whether it pays to top
work stone-fruit trees. While goot
tops may be grown on either peach
apricot or almond, 1t is doubtful wheth
er these crops will bear much quicker
returns than young trees set In the
place Of the old ones.
