AMONG SMALL.FRUIT BUSHES
Guard Against Ravases Of Rabbits by
Using Thick Paper, aunhy.sacks
or Regular Protectors.
(By L. NJ. BENNINqTON)


With the exception Of r~aspberries,
which should be attended to early In
the spring. all the small fruit bushes
should be pruned, sprayed and fertil.
lied. during the late fall months. This
will include the gooseberries, c~urrants,
b~lackberies. grape-vines. etc.
After all danger OF bleeding 10
past. the grape vines should be care
fully pruned. and all posts and trel-
Uses Strengthened up. which will guard
against doing this work In the spring
when 1t will damage them. Old straw
or cornstalks make q good fertilizer
here. and then q g0odly per cent Of
wood ashes should be supplied to furn.
tsh the desired muriate Of potash,
which will keep down the. too rank
growth, thus guarding against fungous
diseases and rot. and giving the fruit
an excellent flavor. and good size.
Where one failed to SOW oats 10
form the mulch In the stra wberry bed,
q covering of straw should be pro-
vided to protect the plants from severe
freezing weather. and to furnish q fer.
ttltzer next spring.
All fruit bushes or orchard trees
which are where the rabbits can reach
them, should be wrapped In thick pa.
per. gunny sacks. o%0rnstalks, screen
wire. or the regular tree protectors
made Of veneer. this protection ex.
tending Is or "a inches from the
ground. SO the SHOWS Of winter will
not enable the animals to gnaw the
bark from the trees.
Young and tender fruit plants should
be carefully bent down to the ground.
q quantity OF straw placed on them,
and q few spadefuls Of dirt carefully |
spread over them to protect them
from severe freezing till spring. when
this straw may be scattered around
them for fertilizer.

Poultry keeping as q sole interest 10
practically never met with. Some
other interest u always associated
with It. OF the many different lines
Of Agricultural interest fruit growing
Is the best to work in with poultry
keeping. This combination IL sdvan.
tageous for two ressons-hrst. two
crops are being grown on the ground
at ono time; second. both fruit and
poultry are directly benefited BY be-
ing grown together. Poultry 10 bene-
fitted by the shade of fruit trees and
bushes and by the worms and insects
which are chiefly found about trees
and bushes, while fruit trees and
bushes are benefited and their growth
promoted by the rich nourishment Of
the droDpings Of poultry; also by the
destruction Of worm and insect sne.
mics and by the stirring of the ground
by the scratching and busting Of the
birds. Because Of these advantages
poultry runs should be liberal In space
and set with fruit trees. such as ap-
pie. pear. peach. ETC.. and baby chicks
should be given range of the bush

peach or plum trees can be set in

Of pear and cherry trees can be

There are many ends for which the
Swiss cattle are bred in Switzerland.
The first objects In all cattle breeding
are the products Of milk and OF meat.
but the animals can also be used for
work. In general that which is most
wanted Is to obtain an average live
weight. this weight being little
higher and subject to variation in the
Simental breed than that of Schwyz.
The heights and inclinations of more
or less Importance, the diversity In
the composition and the fertility OF
the soil, and in the management and
care given to the cattle, influence
great deal the live-weight and size of
the cattle coming from different re-
gions and establishments. Thus in
some districts they prefer raising cat
tie of an average weight or of great
weight. while in other regions only
cattle of lighter weight are bred. In
the regions where the Schwyz cattle
are bred. there is a greater difference
on account of the great number of diff
ferent methods in the way of raising
and managing the cattle. Yet the
ends aimed at are the same in the two
breeds with one difference only; that
those animals which are of lighter
weight and less well managed have
much less meat and precocity. In every
case, what is striven after. is to obtain
healthy and strong cattle. In sum-
mer the greater part of the cattle
breeders of the Mittelland send their
cattle up to the Alpine pasturages, and
moreover there is a great deal of ex-
changing between the cattle breeders
of the Alps and those of the plains.
With regard to the animals faculty
to work, 1t must be said that since
the culture of wheat has, these last
twenty-five or thirty years. greatly d.
minished, In the plains as we'll as In
the alpine regions. very few oxen Of
the Schwyz breed are seen. Instead
of these they use cows and heifers
for agricultural work. On the confines
of the two regions where these cattle
are reared, we sometimes meet with
oxen of the Simental breed. which are
very precocious and which become
very heavy. This does not hinder the
Schwyz breed furnishing animals apt
to labor Their black, strong and
hard hoofs. their quick temperament

Ones Ancestors.

How many male and female ances-
tors were required to bring you Into
the world? First. 1t was necessary
that you should have a father and
mother. That makes two human be
ings. Each of them must have had a
father and mother. That makes four
human beings. Again, each Of them
must have had a father and mother
making eight more human beings. Sc
on we go back to the time of Jesus
Christ, Sc generations. The calcula
ton thus resulting shows that 139.
235.O17. .4S9, ,534.976 births must have
taken place to bring you into this

greatly help them in their work even
along the smooth roads. Their faculty
to fatten is good and the quality OF
their meat excellent The live-weight
of these animals Of the heavy type is
satisfactory and might be higher in
some districts. II account was kept OF
their faculty of fattening.
In former times. the descriptions OF
the cattle, show that then white spots
in the hair were rather frequently met
with. Till about the middle of the
last century the animals with a spo,
in the middle of the forehead were
not excluded from cattle shows, but
since then they are getting under.
valued and at the present time they
are not admitted at the competitions
as no animal obtains a prize with
spots. unless they are found on the
inferior part of the belly. Those COWS
that have a spot higher up than the
belly or on any other part of the body
are excluded. Cattle having reddish
colored hair are not readily received
Yet 1t most be remarked that the
animals which are exposed to bad
weather in the alpine districts get q
dirty reddish color. but which disap
