Little figures of smiling angels
stand bending over the book as though
scrutinizing the pages. At the night

letters, raised in the background tai
above the heads of the angels Dlaze'

COLD WEATHER and
SNOW Save Peach CROP

Snow and cold has brought delight
To the lower part of this peninsula
for the reason that, in the opinion of
fruit growers, it means good crop
of all kinds of fruit and especially
peaches in the coming season.
The greatest danger to the peach
crop is that the trees will bud before
tho cold weather is over. Then comes
a rain which fills the buds with
water and frost following, even
though a slight one, will kill the buds
and end all prospects of peach
crop.
Numerous growers on the peninsula
have equipped their orchards with oil
burners supplied from a pipe and in
case Of frost crude oil is burned and
the orchard heated so that the trees
are saved.

TRIED CURES FOR
POULTRY DISEASES
Avoid Leg Weakness in Chicks by
Proper Feeding-Remedy
for SWeIIed Head.

Leg weakness in chicks is often due
to the food being CT fattening ma
true, and the bodies, in consequence,
become too heavy for the muscular
strength of the chicks legs. There
should be bran in the soft food that
is fed, it being one of the best bone
and muscle foods that could be given.
Afflicted chicks should be given
quinine water daily-made by dissolv-
ing five grains of quinine in a quart
of drinking water Also add bone
meal and charcoal, and also give green
food daily.
Very often fowls, from some unex-
plainable cause, will become afflicted
with swelled head and fever. Ex-
posure to a draft of air. while roost-
ing at night, however, is the most COM
mon reason, in which case the eye
nearest the draft becomes first af-
fected. In itself, swelled head is not
roup, but when the Jumps appear 1t is
one Of the first stages of that disease.
A very good treatment is to mix one
part spirits Of turpentine and four
parts. of sweet oil. With this anoint
the head, face and comb daily. Then
give, twice day, a pill composed Of
equal parts of bromide of potash and
quinine-the pill to weigh one grain.
Add, in addition, teaspoonful Of
chlorate of potash to each quart Of
drinking water. ssa%
The looseness of the bowels of a
fowl generally is Que to, something It
has eaten. Increase the amount OF
middlings in the hash, and add a
teaspoonful of charcoal every day to
each quart of soft food. Fowls should
have charcoal at least twice week.

FENCING FOR SHEEP
IS TOUGH PROBLEM
Most Sheep Raisers Use Woven
Wire From 80 to 40 Inches
Hiuh-Put Barbs on Top.

(By e. RUSSELL, North Dakota Agricul-
tural College)
The fencing problem has always
doomed up big to the beginner in rals-
ing sheep. It is not, however, very
difficult one If it is undertaken In an
intelligent manner. 1t does not re-
quire heavy fence to hold sheep
though barbed wire will not make sat-
isfactory sheep fence. Most sheep
raisers use a fence constructed OF
woven wire from 80 to AZ inches high,
with five to nine horizontal wires and
16 to 20 stays to the rod. ANY fence
coming inside these limits, II put up
with a post each IA to 16 feet, will
prove satisfactory for sheep. II A.
inch woven wire is used it should have
at least one barbed wire on top OF 1t.
It usually pays to put one or two
barbed wires on top of the woven WIRE
however, as this will make a fence
that will turn horses and cattle as
well as sheep.
