made such vocal disturbance that he
was “unable to think,”and then caus-

to want to, whether it has any legal

Rationing Sheep for Market.
From a very small beginning, some
20 yearslingo, this" business of fatten-
ing sheep for the butchers has become
a gigantic'entcrprise. The most im-
iportant point in starting to feed sheep
is to buy the right kind and at the
iright price. The three important things
;in‘ feeding sheep are a dry feed lot,

MAKING AN ORCHARD.
Best Plan for Beginners Is to Select
Varieties That Have Been T‘ricd
with Succesn.
As an orchard, especially: the apple
and pear orchard, will, after it has,
madeagood growth and become estab-
lished, lost an ordinary lifetime, if
given proper care, the selection- of va-
rieties should be made very carefully.
To set out and care for an orchard
until it comes into bearing, requires
considerable labor and ‘ expense, and
to find out after workingfour or five
has been made will prove a costly ex-
perience. ' ' "
of being imposed upon byvthe nursery-

ceive them' properly labeled according
to his order only to. find out that he
has been swindled when the trees
commence to bear—too late to avoid
"the loss. _
frbm responsible .nurserymen, who
will not substitute after accepting the
order. There are plenty such so 1that
"there is not muchicx'cus'e for buying
of irresponsible dealérs. ' '
The best plan is to select- 'for the
principal dependence varieties that
already have been tried. and proved.
There. is an abundance of, these with-
out‘risking too much on untried or
unknown sorts. Because some trav—
eling agent who is interested in sell-
ing some high-sounding variety at. a
big price recommends them is not a
sufficient reason for investing.
Difference in soil and cultivation. of
growth make a. difference in the
growth and quality of the fruit. and
the only safe guide is to take old and
tried varieties for the main crop and
then if desired a few trees of fancy
sorts of unknown quality may be se-
lected to try.

supply all through, the year. Then
if more is wanted plant good winter
varieties that are strong in appear-
ance, as in a market. apple appear-

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Spraying with Crude Petroleum Has
Been Found Effective in De-
stroy‘ing‘ the Pest.
Prof. John H. Smith reports to the
association for the advancement of
science that he has found spraying
with crude petroleum to be a sure
method of destroying the San Jose
scale. He first; tried it on a Duchess
pear tree, which was badly infested.
In the early part. of January, 1898, he
painted the tree thoroughly from the
tops of the twigs to the ground. Long
before spring Opened it was easy to
see that there was not. a. living scale
remaining on the tree. As it started
well in the spring, about a dozen trees
were sprayed with a nozzle, to cover
them as completely as possible. As
they had begun rto make "leaf growth,
he found in some cases foliage ins
jured, and when an. extra. heavy dose
of oil was put on the fruit buds were
killed. The tree treated in winter
not only blossomed and bore well, but
it made a rank and vigorous growth,
and the foliage had a color that en-
abled anyone to identify it as far as
they could see it. It was as if an
application of nitrate of soda. had
been made around. it. This increase
in vigor and growth continues up to
the present time.
The next winter many trees were
treated, including apple, peach, plum
and cherry, and ~by his advice many
others tested it, so that. probably 2,000
to 3,000 trees were. treated that win-
1er. In no case has any tree been
injured, and in all cases the scale was
destroyed and the tree appeared. vig-
orous and healthy during the summer.
In one case where there were three
rows of apple trees 30 to 40 years old,
the middle row alone was sprayed,
and in June it was a sight to behold.
The other rows looked sickly by the
side of that, and on that the fruit. set
full and fair.——American Cultivator.

to the required depth, going below the
frost line, and build up a wall topping
it with brick and sloping it about six
inches to the front. A crop of lettuce
or violets may be grown in such a bed

Sodium Nitrate for Gardens.
Sodium nitrate is especially valuable
for intensive culture in gardens and
fields tributary to large cities where
quickness and abundance of'growth are
factors of prime necessity. The ready-
formed nitrate is an indispensable fer-
tilizer for flowers and gardens as well
as for fields. It performs a function
which cannot. be easily replaced by any
other form of nitrogefidils material
among field crops. The sugar beet is
especially susceptible to the influence 1
of nitrate of soda and this .is the most
economic form of nitrogenous-fertilizer

Take Care of the Plus.~
Losses. in fol-rowing and the present
apparent supply of hogs on the market
as compared with former years at the
same time, suggests that it will be well
to care for the pigs that did survive and
grow them into the best- hogs possible,
for prices can hardly fail to do better in
the fall than they have been for some
time past. In fact, it nearly always hap-
pens that reduced production follows
quickly upon a year of low prices, as
the past one has been resulting in an
advance of price. If this happens upon
general principles it is much more like-
