CARE OF HARNESS ESSENTIAL

The harness has a lot to do with

shabby, patched-up affair, while, on
the other hand, the veriest plugs are
vastly improved in appearance by a
bright, well-kept harness.
But that isn't all. With the high

BEES INCREASE FRUIT CROP

to the female blossoms. Most of this
work is done by the bees in their trips
from blossom to blossom.
Weather at the time the orchard
blooms has much to do with h size
of the crop. If it is wet, cloudy and
cold, the bees cannot work as they
will when 1t is clear and warm. Con-
sequently fewer blossoms are fertil-
lied and there is less fruit.
You may have noticed that some
times one side of an apple tree will
be set heavily with fruit, while there
will be little or none on the other
side. This is often caused by strong,
cold winds that prevent the bees
from working on the exposed side OF
the tree.

WAYS OF MAKING WHITEWASH
Formulas Given for Making Solution
for Outside and Inside Use-Mix
Both Thoroughly.

Whitewash for outside use-Slake
one bushel of quicklime in II gallons
of hot water, dissolve two pounds of
common salt and M pound of sui
phate of zinc in two gallons of poll
ing water and mix his with the slaked
lime, then add two gallons of skim
milk, and mix thoroughly. Spread
lightly over the surface with a broad
brush.
Whitewash for interior painting.
Stake a peck of quicklime with boiling
water and cover as soon as the water
is added. Strain after shaking and put
in a gallon of salt dissolved in hot
water, a quarter of a pound of Span
ish whiting, two pounds of rice paste
and a half pound of glue, dissolved in
warm water. Mix these thoroughly,

SAVE ALL BREEDING ANIMALS
Department of Agriculture Urges
Farmers Not to Be Tempted With
Present High Prices.

Don't sell your breeding animals
unless you can replace them immedi-
ately with better ones" is the mes
sage the United States department Of
agriculture is sending to farmers and
stockmen everywhere. Don't let the
temptation of high prices now being
offered for live stock or undue fear of
the prices asked for many popular
feeds mislead you into selling a COW
or sow that will drop the golden calf
or litter. Such near-sighted profit
taking or lack of courage, If wide
spread, would strike at the founda-
ton of the country's live stock indus
try and cripple 1t for years to come.
AS there is a shortage of meat animals
throughout the world. we cannot hope
to import new breeding stock to re-
place those we foolishly have killed
off. Our own breeding animals, there
fore, must be regarded as the seed
essential to the domestic meat supply
of the nation.
