SAVING BUDS FROM FROST

- L.
A recent invention relates to j.
new system of motor operated tree
vibration for saving buds and bios.
SONS from frost.
The new system aims to create
in fruit trees a movement of ths
sap to the buds and blossoms tha,
tends to vitalize them enough to
resist the attacking blight of frost.
This movement of the sap might
be called a capillary action, and
can be likened to the gentle exer.
cising action of an electric vibra.
tor instrument On the human svs-
tenn, which stimulates the Aow;ne
action Of the blood through the
veins, especially at the point where
the vibrator is applied.
The system for imparting tlj,
vibratory action to buds and bios.
SONS has been worked out and Dat
ented by Herman l.. Darling o.
Delta, Colo. 1t comprises the i.
stallation in the tree of a small
electric motor having a tremblinr
rotary motion and connected b,
transmitting wires to an electric
current.
During the months of April and
May when the orchard is subjected
to sudden freezes, by means Of It's
system, a vibratory trembling M
ton is impaired to all limbs Of the
tree, transmitted to twigs and bud,
and this motion starts the san to
circulating, invigorates the bud.
and strengthens them against tn:
effects of the frost.

FALL OR SPRING COLTS.
By w. N. Kelly

'e
advantageous; however, very few
farmers have made it a success.
To be sure a mare can rear hel
foal very nicely during the winte,
and il she fails to get with foal II
the spring there is no good reason
why she should be allowed to miss
the whole year, but as a general
thing the spring colts pay best.
Spring is the natural season for
mares to bring forth their young.
This is not the most important
reason, but we all know that grass
is the best food for young foals,
that is, Of course when properly
supplemented with grain.
In the winter when fed dry
roughage the effect upon its diges-
tive system is far inferior to that
of grass, and too, there is the ques-
ton of plenty of exercise and sun
shine.
Colts need plenty OF exercise and
sunshine to build up strong mus
cleS and sinews. In the cold wealth
er he Is kept in the stable most Of
the time. Kept confined in a stall
during the winter his feet are sure
to grow crooked unless intelligent
care is taken of them.
In the summer the natural wear
and tear of travelling about the
pasture keeps his feet in ideal shape
SO that a very little attention is re-
quired to keep them of the right
length.
As a general thing the milk that
a mare gives during the winter is
OF rather an uncertain quantity.
HE amount Of milk a mare Dro-
duces is not large, even on grass.
In the winter when she is fed drv
roughage and grain her production
is very small. OF course this can
be supplemented by the milk of a
cow but the feeding of cows milk
to young foals is a matter which
requires the most painstaking care
and even then the results are not
always satisfactory.
Still another advantage OF rear
ing spring colts is the fact that
weaving period comes when the
mare is naturally going dry.
Horses, like other domestic ami
mails are highly artificial products.
However, the greatest success is
attained by raising them as nearly
as possible in their natural state
Plenty of green grass, sunshine, ex-
erclse and the added milk produc-
ton OF the mare are the principal
reasons why spring foals are best
On the other hand, many farm
ers who advocate breeding for fall
colts claim that they can get better
service out of their mare dur;no
the springs work. On nv own
farm have never been able 70 r..
much in this claim.
Grain harvesting and corn har-
vesting and marketing are fully as

Flood of Foreign Goods
Awaits Action on Tariff

NEW YORK. Sept 26-Importers
and managers of bonded warehouses
In this city declare that when the
Underwood tariff law becomes effec-
tive on September 90. New York and
other large distributing centres in the
United States will be flooded with
foreign merchandise For the last
two months importers have been stor-
ing vast quantities of foreign made
goods in New York warehouses until
all of the warehousing companies re-
port being unable to handle any ad-
ditional consignments.
A prominent warehouse man said
today: while we anticipated some
what this hold up of imports we
have literally. been swamped with
the imports which are waiting for
the tariff law to go into effect be-
fore being put on the market. There
is more than 100000 worth of stuff
now in the bonded houses. and we
hear that more is to come within the
next two weeks"

upward. Union Pacific climbed 23s
