One of the biggest leaks in orchard
ing is the failure to support mechani-
cally weak trees. Annually many val
liable apple trees are seriously dam
aged by splitting apart of trunks,
writes G. f. Bley of New York in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer. OF
these considerable portion are ut
terly ruined. While the majority of
these trees have reached the stage of
incipient decay, their lives and use
fulness could have been prolonged
many years by means that are at
once simple, inexpensive and efficient.
1t should be understood that beyond
furnishing mechanical support the
heart-wood of tree is functionless
and its decay does not affect its vege-
tative action, nor it's fruitfulness.
Thus we justify providing artificial
support and the application of tree
dentistry. Nor is the breaking apart
of tree trunk necessarily caused by
decay, or by storms, but more often
by bad formation of its framework
A double trunk or two-pronged
crotched tree is predestined to de-
struction for the simple reason that
the strain is concentrated at a com
paratively limited area-the noint of
union of the two trunks.
Again many instances will be found
of bad head formation in which an
excess number of framework limbs
were permitted to persist Between
these limbs and the trunk at their
basal union, one or more of them by
their lateral growth gradually fill their
respective crotches, where it creates
a wedge-like pressure. In time this
pressure forces a splitting apart of
the trunk, resulting in the loss OF the
tree.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recon-
mends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene--Use Spray or Wash.

(By CHARLES I. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are num-
Der Of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature. and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
Of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
of agriculture is one of the best ways
of making this: Dissolve one-half
pound of hard soap in one gallon of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of force pump
or agitator of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as spray, dip
or wash.

A truss consisting of an iron rod OF
chain properly placed connecting the
opposing limbs and trunk or two diff
ferent limbs-as the case may be-
will save the tree. Use five-eighths-
inch rod of proper length amply
threaded at each end for a nut. A
strip of board tackled transversely on
the limbs in the location in which the
rod is to go will serve as a means of
acquiring the proper length of rod and
the angle at which holes are to be
bored. Holes should be bored with a
three-quarter-inch auger or bit, the
size being larger than the rod will
facilitate the pushing through of the
rod. If the holes are counter-sunk
where nuts come by means of gouge
chisel, it will make better finish be-
cause the growing cambium will grow
over nut and cover work smoothly.
In using chain instead of a rod
it is really the simpler method-a
screwhook, such as is used for a
horse hayfork, is turned into one limb
from side facing opposite limb. A
short rod amply threaded at one end
for nut with hook at other end is
inserted through drilled hole in op-
posite limb from near side and nut
screwed on rod from outside of that
limb. Then the chain, which is long
linked, is caught over these hooks
when screwing up of nut gives de-
sired tension to chain.
Two dollars worth of time and ma
terial should suffice to apply such a
truss and thus be the means of saw
ing tree worth from five to fifty dol
lars.
The metal may be painted with
bridge paint in order to preserve and
add to the appearance.

FEEDING VALUE OF
ALFALFA ENSILAGE
Interesting and instructive Re.
port Of Experiments Made
at California Station.

With view to determining the
feeding value of silage made from
first-cutting alfalfa composed of at
least half foxtail and weeds, 107 three
and four-year-old native range steers
weighing approximately $40 pounds
each were fed by the California Sta
tion for as days on daily ration Of
1915 pounds of alfalfa hay, 20.2 pounds
of silage, and S.4 pounds rolled barley.
They made an average daily gain OF
1.53 pounds per head, requiring per
pound of gain SO pounds of hay, 1871
pounds of silage and 54 pounds of
barley.
The alfalfa was put into the silo
about May /, and feeding was begun
in July. The silage as fed out was
well made, of a dark brown color and
of slightly acidulated, aromatic favor.
That in the lower part of the silo was
more moist than that in the upper
part and was apparently relished best
by the steers. While most of the
silage was not taken with particular
relish 1t was always eaten UP clean,
with the exception of few days dur
ing the middle of July, when layer
of partially spoiled silage was reached,
at a point where the filling of the silo
had been interrupted for a few days.
The foxtail heads, which would have
caused great trouble In feeding the
alfalfa as hay, were eaten before hav-
ing chance to dry out.

Do not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners or huddle in under
brush. The best shade is shed on
open ground where there is no grass.
A little bit Of shelter is fine for
sheep. Even II 1t be nothing more
than a high board fence on the side

The sheep can snuggle up near to

Better than such a fence is piece

able flies that hurt them so.
