PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Set the
Rsots Too Deep In Soil.

nGO-6 20 DSSH III SOiis
The beginner in tree planting usually
sets his trees TOO deep rather than too
shallow in tie relatively heavy soils Of
Missouri. J. G. Written of the depart
of Missouri says.
Young trees should be selected for
planting. and they should be set at the
same depth at which they stood in the
nursery" Mr.. Written said. Trees
turn to the northeast and grow crooked
because OF the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season.
The tree should be set with the heavier
side to the southwest to avoid this.
The roots should be trimmed so IS
not to be cramped and any ragged
wounds taken off. Peach trees should
be pruned most severely after planting
of any OF the orchard fruits. Trim all
branches off. leaving Il single whip;
then shorten the whip to Il height of
about two and One-half feet. Cherry
If we'll branched the center of the tree
should be cut out. The Japanese plum
tree should be shaped like the peach.
Other plum. apple and pear trees, hav
ing only Il single whip, should be treat
ed likewise. Older trees may be treat
cd like the cherry. with the exception
that all branches may be shortened to
Onc-half OF One-third of their natural
length"

SHEEP KILLED BY MAGGOTS
Parasites Develop in Clothed Filth in

Hind Quarters.

Much injury from maggots on sheep
is reported this season. In ordinary
years these maggOts bother only the

end castration, when sores are eX-
posed. The maggots develop in the
clOtted filth in the wool and work well
over the hind quarters if not checked.
If undisturbed they become so bad

quently result. Under favorable con-
ditions the maggots develop in "a
hours.
Each sheep should be carefully ex-
amined, and enough lysol or some
other dip of practically full strength
at the first application should be
poured on the maggots. Apply as
shyany times as is necessary to be eff
feetiKe. Then examine frequently,

will study and apply some of the fun
damental principles underlying the
business.
On the average farm there should
be radical Improvement in breeding
and the care of details during farrOw-
ing, weaving, etc. There are many
complaints throughout the country
either of small filters ur else 4 great
mortality in pigs. By keeping the pro-
'ductiOn records of SOwS and selecting
from those that produce and raise
large average litters a breeder can
raise to its most efficient point the size
of his filters. This probably runs be-
tween seven and eight to the litter.
The hog raiser can prevent losses,
other than those caused by disease, by
providing proper shelter for the SOW
at narrowing time. The raiser should
always cultivate the confidence of his
animals by quiet and humane han
ding; this care and attention in times
of necessity will pay big returns.
