prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
h determination of groups and as
sociations of livestock owners to put
herds of entire communities on a bet
ter paying basis is shown by records
of the United States Department of
Agriculture in connection with its bet
ter-sires activities. Participation in
the federal-state campaign for Better
Sires-Better Stock" involves the sign
ing OF a blank in which a farmer lists
his breeding stock and agrees to use
purebred slres for all classes of farm
animals kept. The blanks are dis
tributed in most cases by county
agents and are virtually death war
ants for grade and scrub slres.
In one day recently the department
received 1872 such blanks signed by
farmers in Rockingham county, vir-
ginia, and Endorsed by Charles w.
wampler. county agent. Other large
numbers received In one day from In
dividual communities were 80 from
Green county, Ohio, and 81 from
Guernsey county, Ohio.
Purebred sires of inferior quality
are often disposed of along with
scrubs and grades in accordance with
the requirement that the %purebreds
listed must be of sufficient merit to be
worthy of heading herds and 1ocks.

receive no further attention; (3) cufs
should be made in late winter while
the trees are still dormant, or. at the
latest, just before the leaves appear;
t4) cuts should always be made
slightly above a bud, which will as
sure renewal in case the graft should
fall.
Grating may be done by the COM
mon cleft method OF the slip-hark
method. The former is usually EN-
ployed when the tree is still dormant
and the latter at any time during the
growing period, but the seions used
must always be dormant, and as
scions in that condition are seldom
available after the first of April
neither method Is of much interest
just now. 1t is now too late to top
work trees this season, but those that
have been cut back and small trees
that may be budded without cutting
back may be left until late summer or
autumn. SO that scions (then called
bud sticks) of the better varieties may
be obtained and buds from them in
serted in the bark of the new shoots.
Specially devised tools for remov-
ing the buds from the bud sticks and
for removing pieces of bark of identi-
cal size from the stock are on the
market. Several are illustrated in
Farmers Bulletin 700, Pecan Culture.
which contains much information of
interest to nut ~propagators, and which
may be obtained by writing to the
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, d. G. Budding by the patch
bud" method may be done at any time
when the bark of the stock slips
readily. On trees of rapid growth the
bark will slip at almost any time IL
the summer. On young trees not Gu
back budding may be lone in the frs
half of the growing season, wherea!
new shoots grown from below cut-of
tops should be of sufficient size fol
budding during the latter half of tile
season. Dry spells frequently cause
the bark to tighten, but rains vii
loosen 1t later. The season for bud
ding sometimes extends until the tree:
begin to g6 dormant. During the lat
ter half of the season buds may be
selected from those formed at the
base of the present seasons growth
Most of them will remain dormant
until the following spring.

demonstrate its usefulness rs a

eral varieties are promising.
Mature native trees that are well
situated may be made more valuable
by top-working. BY 'top-working' is
meant the replacing OF the original
top with a new top of another variety.
1t has beer practiced for a long time
by fruit growers to increase the value
of Seeding trees and trees of inferior
varieties, and owners of nut trees are
% adopting the method. The steps
to be taken are: ~ The selection of
trees, taking into account the things
just mentioned; (2) the choice Of
varieties to be used, and the making
sure of scions or bud sticks at the
proper time; (3) the cutting back of
the tops during the latter part of the
dormant period or very early in the
spring; "a the actual process Of
grafting or budding; and t5) the
subsequent care Of the new growth.
Cutting Back the Tops.
In cutting back the tops preparatory

COLLAR OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Should Fit Neck and Shoulders Of
Horse TO Prevent Sores-6athe
in Salt Water.

Since the power of a horse is ap-
piled through the collar, it is of ut
most Importance that the collar should
fit the neck and shoulders. Careless

bathed in salt water every evening in
order to harden them.
