SOME VARIETIES OF APPLES
interesting Statistics Prepared by
Federal Bureau Of Crop Estimates
Baldwin Is Leader.

Some very interesting statistics
have been compiled by the federal
bureau of crop estimates, showing the
percentage of different varieties Of
apples grown in different states. The
figures which are published in farm
ers' bulletin GAL, need to be studied in
detail by prospective planters. vari-
cites that are largely grown in some
sections are practically unknown in
others.
Taking the county as a whole, Bald
win is. the leading variety. and COM
prises 1874 per cent of bearing trees
Ben Davis is close second with 1873
per cent; Northern Spy third, 6.1 per
cent; Winesap, 81 per cent; Rhode
Island Greening, Al per cent; iona
than. s.6 per cent; Rome Beauty. 81
per cent.
In New England and the northeast
ern states Baldwin comprises more
than 80 per cent OF the bearing trees
Tin New Hampshire, 51.9 per cent?
while Ben Davis totals less than 10
per cent. On the other hand the fig
ures for these varieties are reversed
in the middle West.

ESSENTIALS FOR IDEAL RAM



There are many essentials for an
ideal ram. First, Of course, is that
he must be sire. A breeder. if you
will. M t
Granted this condition. there are
many other important features. He
must possess character as indicated
by bold carriage, strong front and q
"sirey" look. His face should be bold,
strong and masculine.
These characteristics are to be Ia
ken as indicative of ability to pro
d,lce these characteristics in his on
spring
However, these characteristics must
be good ones; for sire that possesses
masculinity and character, strong abil-
ity to produce his characteristics,
must have good ones to produce, or
his influence is bad.
A masculine ram of bad conforma-
ton is worse than one lacking in
masculinity of the same quality other
wise; because he is more likely to pro-
duce his faulty faculties.
Granted that we desire the good
qualities, what are they? We must

have a broad muzzle and nose. giving
plenty of breathing room and lots OF
room for the mill, the teeth. =
The neck should be short, strong
and muscular. The chest should be
deep, broad and capacious, giving TO
the vital organs plenty OF room.
The back should be broad, muscular
and strong-a bridge as it were, to
carry all the middle Of the body.
The loins should be broad and deep.
The most valuable meat is produced
there. The rump should be long and
wide at the tail. The leg should be
heavy and the twist full.
Supporting all this should be good,
strong legs, able to carry the body
and pasterns and toes that are strong.
The legs should be as short as pos
sible.
The daylight under sheep could
just as well be meat worth eight
cents a pound.
He should be covered all over with
fleece Of wool, heavy and very fine,
long and of good quality, showing
neither brown nor black fiber.

KEEP FALL PIGS ADVANCING
More Care 10 Necessary to Good
Growth Of Animals Than Those
Farroweo In the Spring.

To keep fall pigs steadily advancing
a bit more care is necessary than is
generally essential to the good growth
of spring farrowed animals.
Letting fall pigs crowd is a serious
thing and always results in loss.
Warmth may be had without crowd
ing.
Feeding pigs at this season is no
serious task. Remember that large
and small should not be fed at the
same trough.

soaked cracked corn and oats and we'll

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take Glass Of Salts Before Break.
fast II Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder ls lrritated.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel 1t from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it NO
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

AGE OF HEIFER AT cALvINe
Such Breeds as Jersey May Be Per
mitted to caIve at 20 Months-
Good Carr Is Essential.

The ordinary heifer OF the smaller
dairy breeds, such as the Jersey, may
be permitted to calve at the age OF
twenty to twenty-four months. OF the
larger breeds, such as the Holsteins,
from twenty-four to thirty months. No
great damage will result, however, il
the heifers calve at an earlier date
than this. and there is no reason to
fear that this young heller win be
ruined. 1t win. of course, not be the
best thing for her to calve too young.
but with proper attention and care
full feeding, 1t is not at all likely that
calving at an early age will have any
appreciable effect on her usefulness.

FRESH AIR FOR SWINE
Too Little Attention Paid to Win
ter Quarters.
Drafts Are Prime Promoters Of Colds,
Which Develop Into Pneumonia-
Provide Ample Ventilation
From Top Of House.
tRx .. N. BENNrNGToN.l

q
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation Of their
winter quarters, or if they attempt to
ventilate at all, they do little more
than leave few cracks around the
bottom through which the cold air can
get in, but provide no way for it to
get out.
Experience has shown that drafts
are bad for swine. They are the prime
promoters of colds, which develop
into pneumonia, and what Is gener-
ally known as swine fever.
It is important that the bottom
boards of the hog house should be
thoroughly well battened and the di.
visions between the pens should be
treated in the same way.
Ample ventilation should be provid-
ed from the top of the house and not
by underneath drafts. Who has not
seen hogs piled upon each other in
cold weather, shivering, fighting to
get into warm place?
Under such conditions it is impos-
sibIe for a hog to put on flesh, and
there are nine chances to ten that he
will take cold, which may develop
into serious lung trouble.
Overhead ventilation is easily Sc
cured by leaving an open space of,
say six inches, between the top of the
outside wall and the roof. An Eng
fish farmer, who has had great sue
cess with hogs. builds his houses with
section Of the wall hung ON swivel
pin in the middle, which can be swung
open whenever sunlight and air are
needed. When the section is released,
1t swings back into an upright posi-
ton by gravitation.
In order to let the rays of the sun
into every part of the building, the
houses have been laid out north and
south, so that by opening the wall
shutters on the east side, the morning
sun is let in, and by opening those on
the west side. the rays Of the after.
noon sun can penetrate to every part
of the house, keeping it sweet and
clean.
No less important than proper ven.
tilation is drainage. A floor that will
be absolutely impervious to dampness
can be made Of four parts gravel to
one of cement, making floor of one
and one-half inch thickness and top
ping of with half an inch of sand and
cement in the proportions of two parts
sand to one Of cement.
This win give a two-inch floor, per
fectly smooth and easy to sweep and
clean. 1t should have pretty sharp
fall. at least one-half inch per. foot
from one end to the other, in order
that the liquid manure can be drained
into a proper receptacle for distribu
ton to various parts Of the farm.
The floors of the hog houses should
be thoroughly cleaned every day. The

has to be spread out in another part

evening.

attempts to raise them for market I'M

Diplomatic LOOphOLes.

There appear to be very few
treaty relations between nations that
cannot be shaken asunder if occasion
should arise to make the attempt ap-
pear plausible. At time when the
world recognized the neutrality OF
Belgium inviolable, Germany steps in
and finds way to make it something
else.
No one supposed this to be pos
sible. The Hague conventions, it was
thought, covered everything it was
deemed necessary to cover. The in
dividuality of Belgium was absolute.
The treaty in question is the fifth
convention adopted at the Hague in
1907, and the first two articles read:
81. The territory of neutral Powers
is inviolable."

no man is entitled to cent of it.
This is one reason why at this time
some people are interested in party
politics, and there may be others.
And furthermore, it may be that we
shall have something else to say on
this point. Then again we may not.
