METHOD FOR DOCKING LAMBS
Operation Should Be Performed When
Youngsters Are About Ten Days
Old--Short Tail Desired.

Docking should be done when the
lambs are about ten days old. The
easiest method is to place the lamb
between the operators legs, its rear
end in front of him. The operator lifts
the tail and with heavy knife pushes
the skin half way ON the underside
of the third vertebra back to its june
ture with the second. Then with a.
sharp cut he sewers the tail at this
point. Many shepherds leave the tail
one vertebra longer, but short tail
lis greatly to be desired since it can!
not collect so much manure.
Very seldom, il the lamb is locked
early, will there be sufficient bleeding
to cause any material harm. If pro-
fuse bleeding does occur. cord should
be tied very tightly around the stump
OF the tail Pincers heated to high
temperature, may also be used for this
purpose, and by many are preferred,
The tail is severed by closing them
upon it. The stump is scared OF
burned, which completely prevents
bleeding. However, a burn will not
heal SO quickly as a clean cut, and in
the former condition suppuration OF
the formation of pus underneath the
scab may occur.
OF course, there is a greater liabil-
1ty of dangerous infection where the
knife, without cauterization, is used,
since the scared surface tends to pre-,
vent the entrance of bacteria Infec.
tion, however, can be avoided by the
maintenance of clearly and sanitary
surroundings. The pincers can salts,
factorily be adopted for docking lambs
several weeks old, when the contin,
gency of bleeding is more likely.

Forms of Head Pruning-At the left,
vertical fruit canes and renewal spurs.
Owing to the length of the fruit canes
they require support and are tied to
high stake. This system is not to
be recommended, as it has many seri-
Gus defects.
The illustration shown at the riqht
represents an Improvement on the
other. 1t differs only in the method
of treating the fruit canes. These are
bent over in the form of a circle and
tied by their middle part to stake,
which may be smaller and lower than
that needed for the vertical canes.
This bowling Of the canes has several
useful effects.
rs will most rapidly and economically
bring the vine to profitable maturity.
The systems OF pruning in use in
California may be divided into two
classes according to the arrangement
of the arms on the trunk of the vine.
In the commonest systems there is a
definite head to the trunk, from which
all the arms arise symmetrically at
nearly the same level. The vines of
these systems may be called headed
vines" In the other systems the
trunk is elongated four to eight feet
and the arms are distributed regularly
along the whole or the greater portion
Of its length. The vines of these sys-
TENS are called "cordons," owing to
the ropelike form of the trunks.
The headed
vines are divided ac-
cording to the length OF the vertical
trunk into high, 2-3 feet; medium, IL II
feet, and low, O-6 inches. The cordons
may be vertical or horizontal, accord.
ing to the direction of the trunk,
which is from four to eight feet long.
The arrangement of the arms of
headed vine may be symmetrical in
all directions at an angle of about As
degrees. Such a vine 10 said to be
vase formed" This form is used in
the great majority Of California vine
yards whether of wine, raisin or ship
ping grapes. Where vines are planted
in the avenue system, particularly
when trellised and where cross cult

walton is impossible, the arms are
given a "fan-shaped" arrangement in
vertical plane.
On the vertical or upright Gordon
the arms are arranged at as regular
intervals as possible on all sides Of
the trunk from the top to within
twelve or fifteen inches of the bottom
On the horizontal Gordon the arms are
arranged similarly, but as nearly as
possible on the upper side of the trunk
only.
Each OF these systems may again
be divided into two subsystems, ac-
cording to the management of the an
nual growth or canes. In one, spurs
of one, two or three eyes are left for
fruit production. This system is called
short or spur pruning.
In the other, long canes are left for
fruit production. This is called long
or cane pruning. In rare cases an in
termediate form is adopted in which
long spurs or short canes of five or
six eyes are left. In cane pruning
| each fruit cane is accompanied by one
| or two short renewal spurs. These
must also accompany half-long prun-
| ing. Systems of pruning, where only
long canes are left without renewal
spurs, are not in use in California. In
all systems, replacing spurs are left
wherever and whenever needed.
Other notifications are introduced
by the manner of disposal of the fruit
canes. These may be tied up verti-
cally to a stake driven at the foot of
each vine or bowed in circle and
tied to this same stake, or they may
| be tied laterally to wires stretching
along the rows in a horizontal, ascend
ing or descending direction
The different systems differ there
fore in (D the shape, length and di-
rection of the trunk; ca the arrange
ment of the arms; t3) the use of fruit
spurs or fruit canes with renewal
spurs; az the disposal Of the fruit
canes.

for the following characteristics in
animals which they intend to finish for
the market:

There Is a very large number of
systems Of pruning applied to the
grape vine. Those systems differ.
principally in the form given to the
body of the vine, and in the manage,
ment of the annual growth. Some of.
the differences depend on variations
In the nature of the vines, on the cul-:
tural and growing conditions of the
district and on the objects of the
grower. Others are unessential and are
merely matter of taste. The best
system is that which is most adapted
to all the conditions of the particular
vineyard. Any system which does not
take into account the nature of the
vine is defective.
Before commencing work the primer
should form mental picture of an
ideal vine of the form desired. Vines
are subject to SO many accidents OF
weather, cultivation and disease that,
even with the greatest care and skill,
it may be impossible to obtain single
ideal vine in the vineyard. The ideal
vine, however, must exist in the
primers mind, or all his vines will be
unnecessarily defective. With this
ideal constantly in mind he is able to
taA5 sdch measures as will, as much
as possible, direct the energies of the
vine in the right direction and counter
act all contrary influences and thus
to make each vine approach as nearly
as possible the perfect model
necessary in the treatment II young
vines. Only when it is strongly i'm
pressed on the, imagination is it pos
sible to use such means and measures

Turing the winters OF deep SHOWS,

The United States department of ag-

This wash has been used to our
