shall be compelled to do what our
neighbors are doing if we wish to
compete with them in the production
of good fruit.
The recent growth of interest in
fruit growing and the disposition to
plant new orchards has led to the
adoption of improved methods of car
ing for fruit trees on the part of the
most progressive people, but many
farmers and even fruit growers are
still not provided with spraying out
fits, without which they cannot hope
to save their trees from scale insects.
These trees are perhaps not in all
cases sufficiently valuable to justify
The expense of spraying, but neighbors
who have invested more extensively
in fruit and depend more on the crop,
should not be made to suffer because
of neglect on the part of people who
have nothing at stake.
Everyone ought, it would seem, to
be required to destroy infested trees
in his possession whenever he is I'M
willing to treat them and care for
them properly. Certainly one has
nothing to gain by keeping them, since
the scale will destroy them anyway,
and a neighbours risk should of itself
be sufficient motive to impel one to
get rid of the pests.

to spraying, fumigation, and other

CLEAN SEED WILL
ELIMINATE BLIGHT
Recurrence of Potato Troubles
Can Be Prevented Next
Year, Says Expert.

A recurrence of late blight and dry
rot among potatoes can be prevented
next year. Clean seed is the great
essential. Seed treatment is not et
fective for this particular disease.
The late blight dry rot exists to q
considerable extent among storage po.
tatoes, says E. c.. Stakman, assistant
plant pathologist of the agricultural
experiment station, st. Paul. If such
lots are used for seed next year the
disease may again be very destructive,
especially if weather conditions favor
it's spread. 1t is, therefore, of vital i'm
portance that healthy seed be used
The Minnesota experiment station
Psychologists have been misquoted
with reference to methods of securing
such healthy seed. The soaking of
seed potatoes is necessary in control
ling some diseases, but treatment with
formaldehyde or corrosive sublimate
will not prevent late blight.
Seed potatoes should be secured
from fields which have not had any
of the disease during the last year. If
healthy tubers are planted and the
vines thoroughly sprayed with bor-
deaux mixture next year, the disease
can be controlled.

ESSENTIALS FOR IDEAL Ram
Should Possess Character as Indicated
by Bold Carriage, Strong Front
and Masculine Face.

There are many essentials for an
ideal ram. First, of course, is that
he must be a sire. A breeder, if you
will.
Granted this condition, there are
many other important features. He
must possess character as indicated
by bold carriage, strong front and a
"sirey' look. His face should be bold,
strong and masculine.
These characteristics are to be ia
ken as indicative of ability to pro-
duce these characteristics in his Off
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

ton is worse than one lacking in

Exercise is not only beneficial to the
muscular and maternal development
of breeding sows, but it prevents con-
stipation, which is one of the most
serious problems we have to contend
with, if our sows are in good flesh
condition.
Breeding bulls, bears, rams and
stations should have plenty of fresh
air, light and exercise during the win
ter. Our animals cannot develop good
bone, muscle, constitution, ETC., if they
are compelled to spend the winter in
the dark, filthy, poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to eXer-
else during the favorable weather.
The grain ration of breeding ami
mails had best be made up largely of
his homegrown grain foods, such as
corn, oats, barley and peas, supple
mented by such purchased foods as
wheat bran, middlings and linseed
oil meal.
Care should be exercised to avoid
feeding too much heat-producing
foods, but We should strive to main
tain the breeding animals in a good,
vigorous fesh-forming condition, by
feeding them q ration made up OF
clean. wholesome blood, bone and
muscle forming foods.
Glover, alfalfa and mixed hay cut
early and cured properly, are the best
kinds Of roughage for breeding ami
mails of all kinds during the winter.
We must not forget the brood saws
when feeding clover and alfalfa hay
as these folders will afford bulk,
which is so essential in maintaining
them in a healthy, vigorous, flesh
forming condition.
The mechanical condition of the
feeds may be greatly improved by run
ming through a cutting box and steam
ing and mixing with wheat bran, mid
dlings and other mill feeds before it
is fed to the brood sows.
All breeding animals should have an
abundance of succulent foods during
the winter, and these may be pro-
vided by laying in supply of corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows, roots, vegetables and waste
fruits are the best form of succulence,
and it will pay every farmer to raise
a crop of roots to feed his breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writers advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage, but l am
not in favor Of this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ensilage to hogs.
For breeding ewes, roots and vege-
tables are the best kind of succuient
foods, although corn ensilage may be
used. with fairly good results. In
feeding corn ensilage to breeding
ewes better results will come from
feeding it once a day and allowing
for each eve two to four pounds at
a feed. Ensilage is not good food
for brood mares and great care should
be exercised in feeding it if any is
fed to them.

KEEP THE STABLES
CLEAN IN WINTER
Do Not Allow Manure to ACCu-
muIate, but Spread 1t on
Land at Once.

These pleasant days of winter when
there is little to do is a good time to
look at the stable and yard to see il
manure has not begun to accumulate.
and if any is found there is no better
time than the present to scatter it out
over the land. If any land is left to
be plowed in the spring this land will
be especially benefited by having the
manure spread as soon as possible
Later on, as the manure begins to
pile up more and all the other land
has been covered, it would be good
thing to remember the lucern patch
by giving it a good coat of this very
fine plant food In hauling the ma
nure, by all means do not leave it in
little piles over the field but spread
it out at once.

SOME VARIETIES OF APPLES
Interesting Statistics Prepared by
Fede al 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 Sal, 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 a close second with 1873
per cent; Northern Spy third, 81 per
cent Winesap, 81 per cent; Rhode
Island Greening, A. per cent; Jona-
than, 3.6 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
lin 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

crock and the door is quickly shut.
At the end of so minutes, or an hour,
the doors are opened for ten minutes
to air out, when the trees can be re-

The trees should not be fumigated

They should not be too tightly
packed in the box.
The time of exposure must never
be shortened.
The chemicals should be of the
quality specified.
To make sure that the house or box
is gas-tight it should always be tested
before beginning operations, with a
dense smudge made of cobs, rags, or
other material. If the smoke escapes,
the crevices will be apparent and
must be closed.
Fumigation will not destroy crown
gall, black rot or canker. 1t cannot
be expected to destroy the eggs of in
sects, nor insects in their active stages
when burrowing in the stems of trees.

Alfalfa Versus Timothy.

In one ton OF alfalfa hay there are
1,G44 pounds of digestible nutrients, of
which 220 pounds are digestible pro-
TEN. In one ton of timothy hay there
are 926 pounds of digestiDle nutrients,
Of which IS pounds are digestible pro-
tein, says Hoard's Dairyman. The
nutrients in the timothy hay are fur
nished a little cheaper than in the
alfalfa, but the protein in the alfalfa
is far cheaper than in the timothy.
AS a dairy feed we would consider al
falfa hay cheaper at SIG per ton than
timothy at $50.

POULTRY HOUSE SITE
Convenience Is Main Thing to Be
Considered.
Locate the Structure So That the
Strong Winds Will Be at Its Back,
With Windows in Front
Drainage of Importance.

The builder. of farm poultry house
should carefully consider the available
sites, and put it where the fowls will
do best, and where it will be easiest
to look after them.
Convenience is the main thing to be
regarded on a farm where there Is
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 adj
vantages of location should be con-
sidered. If there is a sheltering hill
near enough to be used as a wind
break, place the house so the strong
winds from the west, northwest and
north will be Tended off by the higher
ground. Set the house so the, wind
will be at it's back, and this means, in
most localities, that the doors and the
greater number of windows should be
on the south, the southeast or the
southwest.
Where there IS windbreak of trees
or even of buildings, take advantage
of them if the site is suitable other
wise. These windbreaks will make a
lot Of difference in stormy, blustery
weather. There are many cold days
when the birds could very well stay
outside if they were protected from
high winds.
Another thing to be watched is the
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 it will not be
damp and clammy on the inside.
Thorough drainage should be as
sured even if it is necessary to lay
few rods of thing. Where a sandy and
naturally well drained site can be
chosen, the drainage will take care of
itself if nothing is done to hinder it.
Never build a house in hollow as it
will be just about impossible to keep
the chickens healthy in such a struc-
ture.
The building itself can be adapt
ed to the pocketbook of the builder.
Where the climate is not unreasonably
cold in winter, unreasonable from the
standpoint of poultry management
the house may be built very cheaply.
1t must turn the rain, shut out drafts
and be dry under foot, but it need not
be heavy, built of expensive material
or very permanent in character.
In fixing on the site for the house
care should be taken not to get the
building or any part of it where it will
be Swallowed by any other building
or by dense clump of trees. The
sunlight should strike the building all

AGE OF HEIFER AT CALVING
Such Breeds as Jersey May Be Per.
mitted to CaIve at 20 Months
Good Care 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,-if
the heifers calve at an earlier date
than this, and there is no reason to
fear that this young heifer will be
ruined. 1t will, of course, not be the
best thing for her to calve too young,
but with proper attention and care
full feeding, it is not at all likely that
calving at an early age will have any
appreciate effect on her usefulness.

Fumieation Box With Trees Packed
In IL.

means of destroying scale insects is
growing greater every year, as the
acreage in fruit increases. 1t is GUS
tomary to concede to insect pests of
ordinary crops one-tenth of the total
value Of the crop, and applying this
to our fruit crops of last year we may
be said to have lost, as result of in
sect depredations, many millions of
dollars.
Most of the injury and resulting
loss can be prevented. Spraying alone
will save the greater part. Three
fourths of the cooling moth damage
can thus be saved. This has been
demonstrated by very carefully made
tests. More than nine-tenths of the
San Jose scale on the bark of fruit
trees can be removed by single
thorough spraying in winter with
lime-sulphur solution. There seems
to be no good reason, therefore, why
anyone interested in farming and
fruit growing should not equip himself
with the necessary apparatus and do
his share in keeping pests under con-
troll
Nurseries are in great and constant
danger from the unimpeded spread of
pests. For their protection 1t is i'm
portant that orchards be looked after
more closely than they have been in
the past, since they are frequently the
source from which nurseries become
infested But since the scale is now
