ORCHARD HINTS.

The soil should be well prepared be-
fore trees are planted In a new or
chard. Plow it deep with turning
plow; then harrow till there arc no
clods. Even after doing this 1t pays
to blast holes for the trees.
Experiments have shown that trees
in blasted holes grow much faster and
bear sooner than trees set where there
is hard subsoil for the roots to pene.
trate.
If blasting Is not done it will be ad-
visable to throw out the plowed soil
with q shovel ut the spot where a tree
is to stand and dig deep with a pick,
and one should never fail to have the
ground loosened deep for pear trees, as
their roots grow downward more than
any other kinds Of trees and often die
because of shallow holes. z
When the trees are planted their tops
should be cut off about one-third the
way down. This helps the roots to take
hold In the soil, shuts Off much Of the
demand of the tree for elements from

the life and the healthfulness Of the
tree. And this topping ought to I've

WORM INFESTED HORSES.
Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
of Condition

Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
of Condition.
Many horses get out Of condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms. This is especially true Of colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have a good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusiveIy to worms, but this
trouble is so common that IL the colts
and horses are not doing as well as
they should for the feed given, worm
remedy may prove of decided value. In
treating horses for worms DR.. l.. S.
Backus of the Missouri College of Agri
culture suggests it is well to keep in
mind that the drug is meant for the
worm rather than the horse and should
therefore be given in as concentrated
form as possible. To insure this little
or no bulky food should be fed during
the course of treatment, and as tho
parasites are stupefied by worm repc-
dies rather than killed the animals
bowels should be kept in an active con
dition so that the stupefed worms may
be passed out before they regain theii
/ vitality. A well sailed bran mash once
day will generally insure such an &C
ton.
The following formula is worm
remedy which Is also of value as Il
tonic: Powdered nux vomica, two
ounces; powdered gentian root, -four
ounces; powdered areca nut, six ounces:
sodium chloride common salt, four
ounces: arsenious acid. two drains
Mix.
Give a heaping teaspoonful to every
250 pounds weight every morning and
evening for about ten days. The medi-
cine may be mixed with ground feed or
sprinkled over oats or corn which has
been dampened.

All improved stock returns to the

work on the farm will pay better than
the few hours spent In mating up the

This is the time to feed the surplus
vegetables that are stored away in the
cellar. A cabbage head suspended by

will be relished by the hens. Be sure
you are giving them plenty of exercise.

to run trial hatch before the season

There is always some new equip
