Meat BEARING Tree.

In Mexico grows tree called the

reputed to be composed of the sub

1t contains about twenty per cent OF
fat and many other ingredients OF
great food value, and one good-sized
meat" pear is quite sufficient to- make
meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is so little
known at present is because it Is
grown nowhere on large scale. what
few trees there are grow round the
huts of the natives, where they -four

meals for the indolent owners.

TWO ROOT SYSTEMS OF CORN
Branches and Lessons Ability to
Take Up Plant Food.

A knowledge of the root systems Of
corn points out the kind of cultiya-
ton to be practiced. There are two
systems, the primary and the second
airy, says the Breeders Gazette. The
primary roots are the fine, fibrous
roots, which almost completely fill the
top two feet of soil, crossing each 9TH
er in the rows after the crop is half
grown. Deep cultivation prunes all
these feeding roots, lessons the abil-
ity of the plant to take up plant food
and moisture and results in the loss Of
considerable water from the soil
through evaporation. Deep prepare
ton of the soil before planting and
shallow cultivation afterward is high
ly desirable. The day Of blowing"
the corn crop is gone.
The secondary roots are the tough,
fibrous roots usually extending from
one of the lower nodes on the stalk
into the soil. The sole purpose Of
these seems to be to act as braces for
the plant to have hold it upright.

Wheat. Rye and Barley.

Wheat and rye have about the same
composition. although wheat is some
what richer in protein. Rye is in gen.
eral tougher and harder to grind.
Both are quite digestible, but less so
than corn, on account of the larger
percentage OF hull. When they can
be had at about the price of corn they
may profitably form a part of some
rations. They are fed more satisfac-
torily when ground than when whole.
Barley seems to rank between wheat

TO PREVENT CRACKED HEELS
Trouble May BE Avoided If Manure u

Scratches, also called cracked heels
or mud fever, can be prevented by
careful stable management. Cases
are rarely met with in well kept
barns, but are often seen in dirty,
poorly drained stables. Dryness and
cleanliness Of the floor Of the stall
are the two most important factors
In the prevention Of scratches.
Horses should not be allowed to
stand in piles Of manure and decom-s
posing urine. These irritate and in
fame the skin in the fold of the ankle
just below the fetlock. The skin then
becomes thickened, due to the infiam-
nation and breaks or cracks in it APP
pear and IL allowed to go untreated
the condition grows gradually worse.
The affected area grows larger, the
cracks become deeper and the animal
is in an unsightly and painful condi-
ton.
Owners of horses can prevent the
trouble in the majority OF cases by
doing two things. Do not allow man
ure to accumulate behind your horses,
and see that your stalls are so con-
structed that the urine will drain
away promptly. If your horses show
any tendency toward the condition APP
ply small amount of carbolized vase
line, benzoinated lard. or zinc oxide
ointment, well rubbed into the af-
fected parts. These remedies will
soften the skin and protect it from
external moisture and irritating sub.
stances. During wet weather or when
the roads and streets are muddy or
slushy, extra precaution should be
taken to prevent the condition. Do
not wash cracked heels, as water and
rubbing only aggravate the condition.

BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LIME
Substance improves Sandy Soils by
Making Them More Compact and
Retentive of Moisture.
(By B. H. HITE.)


Nothing in agricultural science or
practice may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect Of
lime on easily puddled stiff clay soils.
This is SO nearly matter of common
knowledge, the wonder is that anyone
will worry along with such soils year
after year. and even from one genera
ton to another, while the possible in
crease in yield in a single year will
often pay for the necessary lime.
Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive of moisture. For this
purpose some form of carbonate Of
lime is usually recommended, and in
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils. Clay soils will stand more lime

New Names-oId Things.

The old-fashioned doctor who fought
disease with the aid of the pharma-
copoeia is apparently having a rather
hard time OF it. Long ago he gave up
the center Of the stage to the surgeon
with his marvellous instruments and
daring operations. On the other side
he is beset by the serum-therapist, the
psycho-neurologist, the hygienist, the
dietitician. the sanitarian and the as
sorted flying squadrons of faith heal
ers. White pills and brown mixtures
in bottles have fallen into sad repute.
The physician who resorts to them
falls under the suspicion of being
something Of a fogey or something of
a quack. But, in justice to the old
fashioned general practitioner, it may
be pointed out that a great many of
the new fashions in the curative art
impress one as being the old methods
under new labels. To give anesthet-
les nowadays is not enough; one must
give an anesthetic without frightening
the patient. "Anoci-association" is the
name of the formula of ether plus psy-
chology; but anoci-association" is
strangely reminiscent of the classical
bedside manner" and psycho-therapy
is not unrelated to the familiar sugar
pill.-New York Evening Post.
