Apple trees will thrive and do well

AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES
Hours Day-Different on Diver
sified Crop Farm.

On the grain farm the heaviest work
for the horses comes in April, May.
August, September and October. The
rest Of the time there is practically
nothing for the horses to do. But
enough horses have to be kept during
the year to take care of the work dur
ing these busy months. When aver
aged up, the horse on the grain farm
only works three hours day. These
figures were secured in an investiga-
ton by the Minnesota experiment sta
ton, under the direction of Thomas
Cooper, now director of the North Da-
kOta experiment station.
In this same investigation it was
found that when the crops are diversi-
fed, the horse labor is better dis
tributed. There is less work for the
horses in the seasons that are the bust
est on the all-grain farm, and there is
work for the horses when there is
no work for the horses on the all-grain
farm.

WINTER WORK FOR STALLION
No Reason Why tie Should Not Be
Worked Like Any Other Horse
Give Reasonable Exercise.

1t is a mistake to keep a stallion
idle during the fall and winter
Though this is often done there is no
reason why he should not be worked
like any other horse. If this is not
possible he should at least be given
the opportunity of taking a reasonable
amount of exercise. Also the feed
should be about the same as that of
other horses.
Feed about one pound of good hay
for every 100 pounds of weight and in
addition TO this, give enough grain,
equal parts of corn, bran and oats, to
keep the animal in good flesh, but not
too fat. If this be done he will be
more efficient during the breeding sea-
son than would be the case We're he
kept in breeding condition all through
the year.

EVERY FARMER SHOULD HAVE AN ORCHARD

Every farmer, however small his
possessions may be, who lives within
the apple growing districts of the
United States should have an apple
orchard, says G. B. Bracket of the
United States department Cf agri-
culture.
While the aim and purpose of the
farmer should be to supply an album
dance of fruit for his own fam
ly, he should also be able to offer to
he outside world a liberal surplus.
The apple orchard will often bring him
better returns for his outlay than any
other portion of his farm, acre for
acre.
1t is unfortunate that some farms
DO not afford the best soils and ex-
posures for orchards. But the owners
Of such should not allow this fact to
letter them from planting trees and
caring for them afterward.
If possible, the site should be ele-
waited above its immediate surround

is deep tillage,'an the more thorough
ly this work is done the more certain
is success.
Some plant 16 by 80 feet-that is,
the trees 10 feet apart in rows 80
feet apart. Other planters adopt dis
lance between trees of 20, "a, or 80
feet apart each way, claiming that by
the time the trees interfere with each
other they will have finished their
growth and the orchard will begin to
decline.
The selection of trees is a very i'm
pOrtant part of Orcharding. If the
farmer makes his purchase direct from
the nurseryman, he will save the ex-
penSe of the middleman or agent,
and is less liable to the mis-
takes that may occur through repeat
ed handling.

they are liable to do much damage to
young trees during the winter months,

PRUNE ANY TIME
DURING THE WINTER
Where Work Has Been Done Be-
tween November and May
Little Difference Seen.

The main reason that currant an6
gooseberry bushes do not yield salts
factory crops from year to year is
due to the lack of proper pruning.
Both currants and gooseberries pro-
duce their fruit on canes that are at
least two years old, the first season
being generally utilized for the grow
ing of the canes, the second for the
formation of fruit buds or spurs, and
the third, full crop may be expect
ed. These canes will bear for two
and even three years, but each year
after the third, they begin to show
decided decline-the fruit becomes
smaller and less valuable. In order
to keep the production up to the stand
ard, the bush should be placed on the
rotation basis, that is, each year
few new strong shoots should be per-
mitted to grow. All the rest should
be cut out, and also each spring a like
number of the oldest canes Sd ould be
removed. In other words, we should
grow the same number of new canes
this way we eliminate the old and ex-
hausted canes and keep the bushes in
strong, vigorous growth. Further, as
the season progresses, all shoots be-
yond those that we wish to use for
fruiting later on should be removed
and not permitted to utilize the food
supply that should go to the fruiting
canes.
Currants and goosebcrries are not

with snow. Anything that affords Pro-
lection to mice, such as grass, weeds
or leaves, should be removed from
around the trunks of the trees.
1t is only when the natural food of
the rabbits is cut off by being covered
with snow that this destructive little
animal is forced to resort to gnawing
the bark from fruit trees.
The proper stage of maturity at
which it is best to take the fruit from
the tree, if for sale, will be governed
somewhat by the distance to the mar
ket to be supplied. If near by, and re-
quiring no shipping, the fruit may be
left on the tree until nearly mellow.
But if to be shipped a long distance,
it should be picked as soon as the
seeds are fully matured.
The stock of early winter sorts may
be held in storage for a while if a
paying market cannot be found at
once, but generally it is best to sell
before freezing weather comes on, or
as soon as packed, and while the ap-
pies are in prime condition.

VIM rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. d.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidney : are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1917-02-02

is that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. / would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many of the painful disorders duo

grasped at once. When the water is
at a certain height in the trough the
ball will float in such position that
the arm will keep the valve on the
supply pipe closed.
AS the water Is depleted by stock
drinking the ball sinks with it and the
arm on the valve rises, admitting
fresh water. This device insures al
ways a full supply of fresh water in
the tank and saves the waste water
that otherwise runs over when the
trough is filed from a running source.

FEW SUGGESTIONS ON HORSE
Pedigree Has Considerable Weight
Keeping Animals Skin Clean
Is Essential to Health.

While pedigree does not make the
horse it has considerable weight when
his value is to be taken into consid-
Grafton.
1t should not be one good breed of
horses against another. so much as the
well-bred against the scrub.
Keeping the skin of the work horses
clean enables them to sweat freely and
this is essential to their health.
IF horses neck is tired by tight
refining, he is tired horse and he has
been tired without accomplishing any
thing.
