The lasting popularity of Band
master Seusa. is indicated by the
fact that during his thirty-first an
nual tour, he will visit more than
200 cities in which he has appeared
at least ten times during the third
of century which he has spent at
the head of his own band. 1t is a
striking tribute to the place Sousa
holds in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people that the attendance is
largest in the cities which he has
visited the greatest number of times.
This is the case in Augusta and
other Maine cities. Sousa cannot
come too often. ...-

Experiments Throw Light
on Apple Tree Pruning

Extensive experiments made at the
West Virginia station throw new light
upon pruning. These Investigations
verify many of the theories commonly
accepted and give new facts with ref
erence TO pruning apple trees.
summary of bulletin 1853 of the
West Virginia station says:
This bulletin Is a preliminary re-
port of pruning experiment cover
Ing period of four years and embrac-
Ing 1865 apple trees of various ages.
Study has been made of the effects on
vigor and fruitfulness of various de-
grees of dormant pruning. summer
pruning at different times. and cou-
binations of dormant and summer
pruning.
Heavy annual dormant pruning re-
suited in stronger terminal growth
than lighter pruning on trees of all
ages.
In the study of trees up TO five and
annual heavy dormant pruning was
beneficial from the growth standpoint
for the first two or three years, after
which 1t dwaTfed growth so that by
the end of the period the lightly
pruned trees showed a strikingly
greater increase in trunk diameter,
branch diameter, size of top. and to-
tai annual growth.
With trees five or six years old at
the close of the experiment heavy an
nual dormant pruning delayed fruit
bud formation and light pruning en-
couraged it.
With trees Of bearing age (six or
seven years at beginning Of test)
heavy annual dormant pruning dimin-
lshed crop production and light an
nual dormant pruning increased it.
With trees of bearing age (six or
seven years at beginning of test
heavy annual dormant pruning dimin-
ished crop production and light an
nual dormant pruning increased 1t.
With fifteen-year-old bearing trees
in only fair state Of vigor heavy an
nual dormant pruning increased fruit
production.
Early, midsummer and repeated
summer pruning, as a rule, impaired
tree vigor as evidenced by smaller
annual growth, smaller leaf area and
foliage. Early summer
pruning was less deterrent in its eff
feet than was repeated or midsummer
pruning.
There Is no evidence to show that
either early, repeated or midsummer
pruning will hasten the bearing pc
Rod of young trees or increase crop
production of trees of bearing age.
Ringing of trees caused heavy crop
production the following season but
so impaired the vigor that no crop
was produced the second or third year,
and at least three seasons were re-
luired to restore the tree to normal

Find Sulphur Practical
Remedy for Poultry Ills

The argument of some poultrymen
that sulphur Is harmful to fowls in
wet weather is declared by N. W. San
born, poultry specialist Of the Florida
college of agriculture, to be a mis-
taken idea In fact, the birds that
have been given sulphur In their feed
for some time are better able to stand
long wet periods than they otherwise
would be.
The primary purpose for which sui
phur is recommended Is to modify the
attacks of sorehead, according to DR..
Sanborn Sorehead-a disease of
poultry that is similar to measles
which affect children, in that it never
attacks the same bird more than once
is considered one of the very worst
troubles with which the Florida poul-
tryman has to contend. Some states,
after conducting experimental tests
with a number of remedies, have adj
vocated the incubation of the poultry
with a serum. However. Florida has
never conducted any such tests, but It's
specialists have learned that sulphur
is a practical remedy.
DR.. Sanborn recommends that the
sulphur equal per cent Of the mash'
with which 1t should be mixed. II IS
particularly recommended for growing
chickens, serving not only to modify
the disease but also as a food. Inc
sorehead attacks are only mild when
sulphur Is fed because the chickens
body and system are kept in a strong
healthy condition.

To Restore Neglected
and Rundown Orchards

Neglected and rundown orchards
can be restored, in part at least, to
normal productiveness. The method
with the condition of the trees and
soil. AS rule both the trees and
the soil need attention.
Where pruning has been neglected
the trees are usually full of wood
which must be thinned out This will
act as a stimulant to more vigorous
wood growth and the storing up of
reserve food for fruit bud formation.
The pruning should be done from Feb
ruary to April, and should not be too
severe. If large number of branches
have to be removed it is preferable to
complete the pruning the second year.
Make the cut close to the main
branches and make clean and smooth
cuts. Dressing the wounds is not nee
eSsary
The land should be plowed as early
as possible in the spring and before
blowing heavy dressing of well
rotted stable manure should be applied.
Where the orchard has been in sod for
several years the blowing should be
shallow. so as not TO tear up the small
feeding roots which always come to
the surface in sod orchards. couple
of years of clean cultivation will senG
the roots downward and there will be
no danger OF disturbing them. An or
chard that has been in sod for num-
Der of years should be kept In clean
cultivation for at least three years.
Afterward the orchard should be kept

Easy to Lead Sheep If
You Know Proper Method

Most sheep lead well If properly
handled, dSshepherds say. Even the
stubborn, fine-wool breeds will come
along If they are started right. No
real shepherd tries to drag a sheep
by the neck or wool. From the Sleeps
left side he guides it, with his left arm
around its neck, tickling the base of
the tail with his right hand. The
sheep moves-sometimes faster than
Is expected-but 1t moves.
In catching sheep, too, there is
right way to hold the strongest ram,
and wrong one; the wrong one may
let him go and will cause bruise that
takes two months to heal. Wise shep-
herds know that the skin is only light
ly attached to the flesh, and that hold
ing by the wool tears this tender skin
loose from the flesh even farther than
the hands grip; the resulting bruise
not only is painful to the sheep, but
damages the carcass for market until
1t heals.
The best of practical tips that old
shepherds pass among themselves
make up large part of the CORE
spondence course in sheep and wool
production recently included in the ex-
tension service of the state agricul-
tural college at Ithaca.
The course Is free, the only re-
quirements being residence in New
York state and a chance to work with
sheep while taking 1t.

10 Produce Winter Eggs
Give Pullets Good Care

rlnlshlng the pullets" means get

soou number of eggs and deyelop a

Ailen' extension poultry specialist, New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
Inc puliet is allowed to reach its
maximum growth before 1t is permitted
10 lay eggs. In Leghorns this Will oc-
cur when they are about five months
Ola, and with the dual purpose breeds,
such as Rhode Island Red and Ply
mouth ROCK, it will take at least a
month longer. The lighter breeds.
SUCH as the Leghorns should weigh at
ieast three pounds at time of condi-
uohlng, and the heavier breeds. like
the Rhode Island Red, should weigh
from four to four and a half pounds.
Inc ration used in conditioning a
mock consists largely Of fattening
FOODS, such as corn, wheat, oats and
their by-products, with as little animal
protein as possible. A good scratch
leed consists Of equal parts of cracked
corn and wheat. This Is fed twice
DAY, approximately six to eight pounds
per 100 birds at each feeding.
A good mash for this period Is two
parts of wheat bran, two parts of corn
meal, two parts of ground oats, two
parts of -four middlings, and one part
OF meat scrap. This mash is kept be-
fore the pullets at all times. One hun
dred growing pullets eai five to ten
pounds of 1t day.
The conditioning period takes ap-
month, two weeks on the
range and two weeks in the laying
quarters. AS soon as the pullets show
signs Of laying on the range, they are
housed, and the same feed continued
for two weeks before changing to a
laying ration.
When the pullets are housed they
need just as much green feed and ex-
arcise as If still on the range.
Oyster shells are kept where the
birds can always get them.
