inspected and arrangements were soon
under way for sending her into the river.

IMPROVE OLD APPLE TREES
Carefully Remove All Dead and Cross
notwithstanding the Bark
Destroys Many insects.

All dead and cross branches should
be removed. Make q clean cut close
to the branch, cover the wound with
grating wax or shellac varnish.
Scrape the dead bark and moss OF
the larger limbs and then scrub them
with warm water and soft soap. using
q stiR brush. This scrubbing will
cleanse the bark and kill many worms
and their larvae. Select q mild day
for this work. Such methods require
considerable judgment in their appli-
cation. but with proper care they are
successful. Old apple trees given the
above treatment will gradually in.
crease the yield and quality Of their
fruit. It will take several years Of
careful culture to bring the trees into
full bearing. but It will pay hand

Considered.
Locate the Structure SO That the
Strong Winds Will Be at its Back.

Drainage Of Importance.

The builder Of farm poultry house
should carefully consider the available
sites. and put 1t where the fowls will
do best. and where II will be easiest
to look after them.
Convenience is the main thing to De
regarded on farm where there IL
much work to be done other than tax
ing care Of the chickens. Put the house
or houses close enough to the resi-
dence that It will be easy to look after
the inmates.
At the same time. all natural ad.
yantages OF location should be con.
sidered. II there is sheltering hill
near enough to be used as wind
break. place the house SO the strong
winds from the west, northwest and
north will be Tended of by the higher
ground. Set the house SO the wind
will be at its back. and this means. IN
most localities. that the doors and the
greater number Of windows should he

OF them II the site is suitable other
wise. These windbreaks will make

weather. There are many cold days
when the birds could very we'll stay

high winds.
Another thing to be watched 10 tho
problem of drainage. Damp. low
ground. no matter how we'll the hen
house will be sheltered. Is not suitable
for a chicken shelter. There should
be slope downward from the build
ing to make certain that 1t will not be
damp and clammy on the inside.
Thorough drainage should be as
sured even II it is necessary to lay q
few rods Of tiling. Where sandy and
naturally well drained site can be
chosen, the drainage will take care Of
itself II nothing is done to hinder it.
Never build house in . hollow as It
will be just about impossible to keep
the chickens healthy In such struc-
ture.
