How to Dock the Lambs
Simple Methods Aid to Greatly Improve

By Howard HacLedofn Prof Huban College Aseuur
The Importance of docking and cas-.

The Importance of docking and cas-
trating lambs is being more fully ap-
preciated each succeeding year. Mary
who sell lambs in June and July do
not think the beneficial results de-
rived from these operations justify the
risk. The common opinion among men

pressed by one Of the statesmen. 81
that "docked lambs attract the atten.

better impression
Especially is this true" he says,

everyone is trying to sell. think In
some cases that l have seen 1t has
secured our customers as much as rs
to so cents a hundred pounds. On q
strong market the difference in price
Is not so marked If the lambs are
equally fat and Of good quality. Even
under these conditions, however,

possible and the cut should be made
at the joint. A wound made at the
joint heals more quickly than . wound
made by cutting through the bone.
The object in pushing the skin back
toward the body is to provide surplus
skin to come over the edge Of the
wound and facilitate healing. A good
disinfectant, such as crude carbolic
acid or 5-per-cent solution Of pure
carbolic acid should be used freely. A
little pine tar smeared on the end Of
the dock will keep the flies away, II
the weather is warm enough for them
to be troublesome This method will
be found quite satisfactory with
lambs to IA days old. Lambs 8 or 4
weeks old docked by this method fre-
Guently bleed too freely. weakening
the lambs and sometimes causing
death The bleeding can be stopped

In the last few years another meth

isfactory for several reasons. The
tree may be Seeding or tree which
has developed from a growth of the
stock of a 7budded or grated tree or
the variety may be a poor one. By
top-working an older tree fruit crop
may often be obtained in four or five
years.
The best results are usually had
when the tree is not over six inches
In diameter. A weak. unhealthy tree
should not be cleft-grafted. Larger
trees may be successfully treated if
care is used, but ordinarily the scions
do not unite with the older wood so
readily. and cankers are more liable
to find foothold on the older trees.
The susceptibility of the variety to
cankers should be taken into consid-
Grafton. Danger from this source is
great. Under ordinary conditions,

trate lambs depends upon their condi
tion of health and general vigor. II
. is advisable to perform both opera
tions as soon. as the lamb becomes
strong enough to withstand the shock
which time will vary from four days
to three weeks after birth. The
weather is another important factor.
A bright, warm day should be select
ed in order to lessen the danger of
contracting cold and other attendant
difficulties.
Clean bedding should be provided
for the lambs ii they are kept inside
after the operations have been per-
formed. If the weather will permit, it
is advisable to allow the docked and
castrated lambs the range of a good
pasture These precautions will les.
sen the danger of infection. Lambs
which have been castrated should be
disturbed no more than is necessary
for day or two following the opera
tion.
Docking or taking off the tails is not
a serious operation, and it can be per-
formed with very little risk. During
the spring of 1912, at the experiment
station at the University of Missouri
two lots Of nine lambs averaging 1877
and 1919 pounds, respectively, were
used to determine the effects result,

GRAF TING IMPROVES FRUIT.
UNSATISFACTORY TREES MAY

BY c. c. Wisgans, Assistant In
Horticulture, University
of Missouri.

Bearing apple trees are often unsat-
isfactory either in the kind or guam
tity of fruit produced. This may often
be remedied by top-working the old
trees by means of the cleft-graft
method.
Cleft-grafting is one Of the forms
of graftage by which scion is In.
serted upon stock which is growing
in the ground.
The variety of tree may be unsat-

docking with hot iron pincers. This
requires more time for the operation,
but there will seldom be further trou.
BILE. BY this method there is practic-
ally no danger from bleeding, mag.
gots or infection This method of
docking will require two men-one to
hold the lamb and another to use the
hot pincers.
In order to prevent burning the
body of the lamb, it is advisable to
slip the lambs tail through hole in
an inch board. This board should be

size and age, because of the differ.
ence in resistance to the cankers.
In early spring. just as growth is
beginning, the stock should be pre-
pared to receive the scions. II the
trunk OF the tree is only three or four
inches in diameter it should be sawed
off about two feet from the ground
and the scions inserted at this point.
For larger trees about four-fifths of
the various branches are sawed off a
short distance from the tree trunk
and then each of these grated. The
other branches are allowed to remain
to feed the root system until the re-
moved leaf surface can be replaced.
These may be grated the following
year. After the trunk or branches
have been cut off the next step in the
process is to split the stump. This is
done by means Of q hatchet or graft
ing chisel. The cleft may be in the
center or toward one side. The cleft
should be pried open with wedge 80
the sciOns may be inserted.

held as closely as possible to the body.
The tail should then be taken off
close to the board The most conven-
lent way to heat the. iron pincers is
with a small portable forge or gaso-
line blow torch, such as is used by
tinsmiths and plumbers. Pincers heat.

pincers should be allowed to burn

NEW TRANSIT PLANS
PLEASE UNI0NPORT
Present Trading There Reflects
Faith in Realty Future
of the Section.

There is considerable rejoicing i'm the
Unionport section OF The Bronx owing to
the brighter prospects in that part OF
the borough for an increase in salts
factory realty operations This brighter
outlook has been somewhat reflected in
the trading in the district in the last few
months. A number OF choice properties
long ready for the builder have passed
into hands which will improve them at
an early date. The Lexington av. branch
OF the subway will extend through this
district, and this fact is mainly response
BILE for the optimistic feeling prevailing
there and also for the good volume OF
business now being transacted in the dis
trict The Lexington av. spur, which
will have its northerly terminus at Pei
ham Bay Park. will bring the Unionport
section within the 5-cent fare rapid transit
zone of the greater city.
Other features which have increased
faith in the realty future of this growing
part of The Bronx are the other inn
provements to be made there by the city
and certain projects TO be carried out by
individuals or companies The old Union
port bridge is to be replaced by a modern
structure at Ludlow av. A new ferry
from Clason Point to College Point will
bring the district in close touch with
many towns along the north shore Of
beautiful Long Island.

PROPER WAY TO GET
JUST ASSESSMENTS
Owners Should Tell Tax Board
About Inaccurate Appraise-
ments of Property.

Charles Tutzel. former Tax Commits
sioner of this city. says it is more fair
and proper that realty assessments be
reduced 10 represent a fair and reason
able market value than to lower the tax
rate by few points. The tax rate is
variable TO the requirements OF the city's
budget
The valuations to he placed on realty
in districts where depression has affect
ed property worth in the last few years
are not now difficult to arrive at II the
owners will present the real and actual
facts for submission to the Tax Board,
and if necessary to the court" said Mr..
Putzel.
Since 1910 | have been out of the
Tax Board and have learned the stories
of and from realty owners as | have
never learned them before, and on q
succinct presentation / obtained a great
many reductions and i'm considerable
amounts in different sections Of the city.
There is no way other than by max
ing objections to these assessed valua-
tons in q proper form in order TO obtain
reductions. The Tax Commissioners
learn then at first hand what complaints
the owners Of realty have to make, and
as the commissioners time is so short
In which 10 review the work of the as
SCISSORS a carefully prepared statement
is essential
In the event of no reduction or of an
insufficient one being granted by the Tax
Board. this written objection forms the
basis of an appeal to the Special Term
Of the Supreme Court "a single Judge
sitting without a jury. In this court
one can introduce any evidence of the
actual value of the property in question
and a speedy adjudication thereon is
given.
1T will take years before equality
OF assessments is reached, as the char
acter of buildings and the value of the
land vary so much in the different To-
calities.
There is no denying the fact that
/ inequality generally exists i'm this Dor
ough and in the various borouchs. and
that IT Will take great care and much
time TO make the adjustment in a proper
manner.
The work in the Tax once is so di-
versifed that errors cannot be avoided.
This. therefore l say is necessary for
corrections to be made. and they can
only ne accomplished in the manner
aforementioned"
