sential SuccuIence as Silage--
Valuable Adjunct.

While many, or indeed most, of the
root crops contain considerable food
value, 1t is not claimed by those who
advocate feeding them that they con,
tain elements which will make them
a prominent ingredient in the balanced
r. ion.
In their way, roots supply to the
COW the same essential succulent feed
that does silage. and there is nothing
better for keeping the bowels in bet.
ter condition. to say nothing OF the
value Of roots'as an appetizer.
Take the average daily ration OF
cornmeal, wheat bran, oil meal with
the necessary roughage and a daily
feed of even small quantity Of roots
will add greatly to the appetite OF a
COW, keep her In excellent condition
and materially assist In increasing the
quantity of milk given.
Those who have tested root-croI
feeding properly. without materially
cutting down the regular rations, know
the value Of them and would not think
of cutting them out OF the regulation
feeds.
Add to this sort of feeding clean
light and well-yentilated stable, with
plenty of salt and plenty of clean
fresh water daily, and one has given
the COW every possible opportunity to
produce results and on a most eco
nomical basis.
Not understanding this. many dairy
men. especially, have objected to root
crops for their cows, hence have dis
carded a most valuable adjunct to tn,
ration for mich cows.

If this be done carefully, only an In
significant number Of bags will be lost
during the rest OF the season. Wom-
en- with their trained fingers are the
best for this work when they can be
obtained. A skillful hand will pin on
a thousand bags day. A very small
increase in the price will pay for this
work as can be readily seen.
Bagging should be done when the
bloom drops for the best security, but
is often done during the next few
days. II has been said 1t is specific
not only for rot but for all manner Of
birds and insect pests. 1t is particu-
larly adapted to the tender and thin
skinned varieties like the Brighton,
and should always be resorted to when
fancy clusters are wanted for exhibit
ton purposes.
Not only does 1t preserve the per
fectness of each berry, but also their
delicate bloom which greatly height
ems their beauty. Some varieties are
improved not only in looks but even
in flavor, becoming sweeter and sweet
er after the first stage Of ripenesss
Another great advantage in bagging
is that 1t is one of the best ways to
preserve the grape in it's ripe condi-
ton. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then can be cut off, laid away in cool
place and kept still longer. They
have been kept till Christmas.
The red varieties seem to be the
thinnest skinned and most liable to
crack and to puncture. The white
kinds are Of all the least molested by
birds which seem to think they are not
ripe. The blacks are the first to be
attacked.

Take house like this, for example,

you have six good, satisfactory rooms,
an attractive-looking front stair with

Bagging grapes Ia one of the more
refined processes Of fruit growing that
every man should test for himself.
There are various conditions to be con-
sidered upon which its profitableness
depends.
Does your market demand a fancy
article and is 1t willing to pay for it7
At four or five cents a pound for
grapes 1t pays to go to some extra
trouble. Again, do you suffer much
loss from the birds? In some districts
they are very destructive and scare
crows are not Of much avail. Rot.
too, is to be considered, though some
growers assert that bags are not q
preventive Of this disease.
II grapes are bagged at the proper
time, which Is soon after blooming

canes are already full of rot spores,

resorted to throughout the West, but
In the East with its higher priced
markets some growers find 1t profitable
to bag their entire crop. The com
mon paper bag In use at the grocery
Is usually employed, in the two-pound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than rs cents. The usual way
Is to fasten them with common pin
Do not pin them around the stem OF
the bunch, but over the cane from
which the cluster depends. The edges
of the bag should be folded down and
then pinned securely so as to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.

There are two classes OF trouble

For eating insects, spray with paris
green or some other arsenical poison.
II sucking insects are at work, spray
with soap and kerosene.
The kerosene-soap emulsion blisters
their bodies and stops up their breath

external injury.
Whale oil soap Is also used for kill
ing sucking insects. 1t is a good plan
to use 1t on rose bushes In May II you
find your bushes infested.
All kinds OF insect powder and

pores of insects, except where the

overnight.
