Saving Overloaded Fruit Trees

There are individual trees which
are carrying large loads of fruit so
that they will need propping even
though they have been thinned care
fully. All peach growers who have
an especially heavy set of fruit
should consider seriously the adyis-
ability of propping some of the limbs
which come from the trunk forming
poor crotches, or tying them to-
gether as westerners tie their ap-
pie trees. This is done by setting
heavy screw eyes In each branch
and tying them together by using a
ring in the center and galvanized
wire. BY practicing this method,
each limb helps support the other
limbs. Some peach trees which have
two main branches can be very cas-
lily braced by inserting a screw eye
in each branch and tying with gal
vanized wire. Plum trees often break
when not thinned and care should be
exercised to prevent this when pos
Sible.

The Ancona is said to have been
imported from Ancona, in Italy,

green color, mottled with white, with
black tail tipped with white. The
Ancona natures wonderfully quick,
the pullets in many instances laying
when between four and five months
old and the cockerels growing at six
weeks. The eggs of some strains of
Anconas are small, but many of the
breed lay eggs over two ounces in
weight
The Campine is a Belgian fowl,
much like the Hamburg in appear
ance and bred both in gold and silver
plumage. 1t is a very free layer of
good-sized white eggs and will lay

large bird, but it is small in bone, and
the flesh is of excellent quality. The
chickens are easily reared and feather
quickly, the pullets maturing early.

The best results were obtained when
the grains were ground as finely as
possible and when the mash was
mixed twelve hours before feeding.
Grit was supplied the fattening
chicks at least once a week. Equal
parts of corn meal middlings and
buckwheat meal were sometimes
used, and barley meal was sometimes
substituted for the buckwheat and
oatmeal for the middlings.
Skim milk is superior to blood meal
or beef scrap, but when not available
the latter may be substituted in an
amount not to exceed 10 per cent. of
the grain ration.

Fattening Chickens.

Will you please give the rations

tions for fattening chickens?
Nutley J. w.
The Cornell fattening ration for
young chicks is equal parts by
weight of ground hulled oats, ground
buckwheat and cornmeal; feed
mixed with sour skim milk.
The New Jersey station gives the
following formula: Bran, ten pounds;
corn meal, twenty-five pounds;
buckwheat middlings. twenty-five
pounds; meat scrap, fifteen pounds;
mixed quite wet with sklmmilk.
The Ontario station recommends
the following ration: Two parts fine
ly ground oats, two parts finely
ground buckwheat and one of finely
ground corn. To this is added suffi-
cient sour milk to make a batter

almost pure calcium carbonate is
when burned almost pure calcium
oxide. The same limestone when
pulverized finely enough for agri-
cultural purposeO is in the form of
calcium carbonate and 100 pounds are
equal to fifty-six pounds of the same

remember that 1,120 pounds of fresh

Peach Leaf Curl

Peach leaf curl is as serious this
year as it has been for a good many
years This is quite largely due to
the cold spring weather and to the
fact that people did not spray their
trees with dormant spray as early as
they should have All pomologists are
agreed that leaf curl can be practi-

The growers in the eastern part of
the State are losing their entire crop
of McIntoshes this year because of
the seriousness of this trouble. They
are not able to control it near the
ocean, especially in such. a damp
season. The Bordeaux spray is, of
course, a good fungicide. but many
people report burning and spray in
jury from it. Therefore, most grow
ers are using the concentrated winter
lime sulphur spray, four quarts to
fifty gallons of water. This spray
should be applied to foliage and fruit
as soon as possible.
The presence of a large amount of
smut in many oat fields is especially
noticeable at this time of year. In
many fields there is a loss of to 10
per cent. due to this disease, When
one stops to think what this Will
mean in loss of grain. he will realize
that The loss in dollars and cents IS
far greater than what it would have
cost to have treated the seed at see1-
ing time. Every oat grower should
take particular pains to consider this
loss and plan to treat his seed an
other season, because a dollar saved
means q dollar earned. This is
needless loss because treating the
seed with formaldehyde will pre-
vent it.
The advantage of an early molt is
to have hens all feathered out and
strong and active before cold weather
starts.
It is generally thought that hens
that molt early make the best layers
for the winter months; they will be,
by the end of October, in shape to
start laying when eggs are most
needed
Animal food or meat in some form
is almost an essential during the
molting period; many fanciers also
give an occasional feed of linseed oil
meal with excellent results.
Keep the poultry yards cleaned up
during July and August and allow
nothing that has been left uneaten
by the fowls to accumulate and de
compose.

Atlanta.-Leo Frank, the Atlanta
pencil factory superintendent. convict.
ed of the murder of Mary Phagan and
sentenced to be hanged. is now in the

serving a life sentence for the crime.

executive clemency and committed the
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
order of Communication was issued Sc
cretly Just before midnight. and Frank
was spirited out of the rear door of the
Jail and carried to Milledgeville over
the railroad to Macon and thence by
automobile to the prison.
Frank did not know until a few min
utes before he started on the trip to
Milledgeville that he was to leave his
cell. His heavy, distinctive eye glasses
were removed. which in itself was
somewhat of a disguise. The officers,
however, placed a SLOUGH hat on him
and the few persons at the station at
1901 am when the train left, did not
know that the passenger was Frank.
He was recognized when the train
reached Griffin and at Macon he was
reported to be very nervous, needing
the support of Sheriff Mangum when
he was transferred from the coach to
an automobile.
At the prison Frank changed his de-
meanor, assuming the outward calm
that had marked his two years fight
for life. He again protested his inno-
csnce. expressed gratitude to Gov. Sla-
ton and said that he had intuitively be-
lieved he would at least get a commu-
