HANDLE APRICOT LIKE PEACH
Seedlings Are More Hardy and Pro-
ductive Than Those Budded, but
Fruit Is Poorer.

Apricots are nearly always budded
on plum stocks. Sometimes they are
budded on the peach. It is said that
the apricot stocks are not as good as
either the peach Or plum, especially
on land that is apt to be wet in the
spring. Seeding apricots are usually
more hardy and productive than those
that have been budded but the fruit is
not of as good quality. Seedlings
would not likely produce as good fruit
as that from which the seed was OBJ
tanned, the same condition prevailing
here as with the peach. In practically

The present is an opportune time for
taking inventory of farm machinery
resources, as we'll as account for es-
sential repairs and record of imple-
ment condition. Repairs should be or
dered and put in Place as soon as re-
ceived. Machines should be gone over
thoroughly and prepared for the COM
made, plentiful supply Of various
sized bolts, nuts and screws should he
secured and everything got in ship
shape order for the rush season of
spring work.
A few spare hours can be devoted
advantageOusly to the collection Of old
implement parts, repairs and scrap
iron which have accumulated in the
tence corners and lanes, as the pres
ent values of scrap and junk justify
the farmer in selling such material
which is valuable for Industrial pur-
poses.
| Now is the time, also, to sharpen
|
the dull harrow teeth. The cultivator
shovels should be sharpened, as blunt
points and worn harrow teeth are
highly inefficient and will not perform
satisfactory work. All worn parts
should be replaced and the machines
placed in Al condition for field serv-
ice. In spike-tooth harrows, teeth
should be reversed in the clamps il
worn only on one side, while if both
points are dull, they should be re
moved and resharpened by forging anG
retempering. Spring-tooth harrow
teeth should be handled similarly
while the disks of disk harrows shoult
be edged. Mowers, reapers and bind

Chickasha, Okla.-Mrs. ]. W. Walker

Draught as a family medicine and
think it is the only liver medicine
made. My husband makes it up and
uses it as a tonic as we'll as a laxa-
tive. I use it for headache, sour stom-
ach, a full heavy feeling after meals,
which I suppose is indigestion, and it
certainly does me a lot of good.
My husband had some kind of stom-
ach trouble-we don't know just what.
1t would strike him just any time in
the day and cramp or pain him just
terribly bad. Someone told him how
to make a tea of the Black-Draught,
which he did. 1t did him so much
good, it removed the cause and cured
him. Since then we have praised the
Black-Draught to our friends, and
gladly do so.'

made Thedford's Black-Draught a

GOOD DEMAND FOR FEATHERS
Poultry Raisers Should Not Overlook
Profits That May Be Made From
This By-Produet.

There is usually ready market for
prime feathers that have had proper
care and poultry raisers should not
overlook the profits that may be made
from this by-product. Feathers OF
ducks and geese are especially valu-
able but sometimes even chicken
feathers can be sold at price well
worth the trouble to save and care
for them. Feathers should be picked
when ripe, that is, all the animal mat
ter should be out of the quill. At
this stage they are easily plucked
without damage or inconvenience and
will not spoil or become moth eaten.
It is advisable to separate the body
feathers from them according to color.
White feathers are particularly val
liable.
