UTILIZING ASH SUPPLY.
Material From Both Coal and Wood
Has FertiIizing Values.

As the time approaches to clean up
ash pits and bins and to distribute ash
piles it is well to remind farmers and
gardeners of the value of this product
When conditions are favorable it is
most economical to spread the ashes
where they are needed through the
winter, as then none of the fertiiizing
properties are lost.
Even coal ashes may be put upon the
land if the coarser portions are raked
or sifted out, and these clinkers will
serve as drainage or foundations for
walks about the barnyard and poultry
yard. Chickens also find something
they want in the ashes.
Fine coal ashes may be worked into
a clay soil with the very good effect OF
rendering it more porous as well as
supplying some of the chemicals neces.
Eary to the growth of plants.
For fertilizinc fhe lawn nothing is
better than fine u lod ashes, but if dis.
tributed during u e winter and early
Vpring the result will be almost too
heavy a growth of grass, necessitating
Tery frequent moving.
The application of two scuttles CT
hardwood ashes to a tree produced the
largest and finest Seckel pears ever
harvested from a certain orchard in
st. Louis county, Mo-, the fruit ripen-
ing from day to day during six weeks.
All small fruits and orchard trees
are benefited by a treatment Of ashes,
and borers that work around the base
of the trunk of trees are almost entire
iy prevented from entering the bark.
A moderate amount of ashes and
SCOT worked into the soil around roses
greatly increases the richness and bril-
lance of coloring in the blossoms and
makes fine foliage. Care must be TAX
en- not to loosen the roots, as roses like
a rich, firm soil.

HANDLING THE UNRULY
BULL.

n good way to restrain an IN
ruly bull is described in the
Breeders Gazette:
Have a covering made of good
harness leather from a pattern
of the animals head. Fit a
piece over the front, having it
extend out so as to take a good
seam on each side and allow
plenty Of room about the eyes,
hIcn fit pieces to come down on
each cheek. iOur or five inches
wide. Have these pieces secure
" sewed and riveted with the
seam upon the outside.
If the animal has horns the
hood is easily fastened on. If
not make a strong. snug fitting
halter with straps to fasten the
hood securely under the jaw and
around the ears. The whole con-
trivance needs to be strong and
well fitted, as q bull will give it
a first class trial.

No Money Needed.

In the Atlantic ocean lies the
small island of Ascension, of vol
canic formation and having a
population of only $50. 1t was
uninhabited until the confne-
ment of Napoleon at St. Helena
when it was occupied by a small
British force. Ascension is gov
erned by captain appointed by
the British admiralty. There is
no private property in land, no
rents, no taxes, and no use for
money. The fiocks and herds
are public property, and the
meat is issued SIS rations. So
are tee vegetables grown on the
farms. When an island fisher
man makes a catch, he brings it
to the guard room, where it is
issued by the sergeant-major.
Practically the entire population
are sailors,T and they work at
most of the common trades. The
muleteer is a Jack Tar; so is the
gardener; so are the shepherds,
the stockmen, the grooms, ma
sons, carpenters and plumbers.

SHEEP MEASLES.
Methods of Preventing the Spread Of
This Parasitical Disease.

This ParaSItIcai Disease.
The sheep meaSle parasite has re-
Gently become common in the United
States. 1t attacks the muscles. says
the Orange Judd Farmer. In heavy
infestatiOns it may cause the animals
death. Fortunately it has been proved
to be the intermediate stage Of a dog
tapewOrm. not of the armed tapewOrm
of man. with which species it has gen.
orally been identified in the past.
Sheep become infected as result of
swallowing the eggs scattered over the
pasture in the excrement of dogs har-
boring tapewOrms. Dogs in turn &C
quire the tapeworm after eating the
carcasses of infested sheep.
Preventive measures are, first. sys-
tematic treatment to keep dogs free
from tapeworms, thus removing the
source from which sheep become in
fected; second, the proper disposal Of
the carcasses of dead sheep and the
complete prohibition of raw mutton as
an article of food for dogs, thus pre-
venting the possibility OF the parasite
reaching it's canine host. The destruc-
ton of carcasses will also reduce the
chances Of the transmission Of the par
asites to coyotes. which may also to
some extent act as hosts. though these
animals are probably much less i'm
pOrtant as carriers than the dogs
