land when Columbus discovered it;
Americans have made of it a great

(County Farm Expert) .
If you have not already done' your
winter spraying of fruit trees, 'don't
worry" it is not yet too late.' In fact
the time to do the most effective work
along this line is stilt before you,
pecially with certain troubles. When
ever possible you would like to "kill
two birds with one stone," especially
fs this true with the' spraying of
fruit trees. Such being the case, that
opportunity still presents itself.
The ordinary winter cleanup spray
is tfho 'Lrmei Sulphur mixture one
part to ten of water. Add to this
Black Leaf 40," a tobacco spray, us
ing one gallon to 900 gallons of the
winter strength Lime Sulphur spray,
Apply just as the apple buds begin to
open and you get the aphis as well as
tho scale insects. Be thorough and
you will get (results.
The winter strength Lime Sulphur
may be used on any of the fruit trees
infested with scale, but in the case
of peaches this strength should not be
used after the .buds begin to swell.
Peach leaf curl is controlled by
spraying the Lime Sulphur one part
to fifteen of water, this application
should be applied just before the buds
begin to swell, or juBt as they begin,
but not after they begin to show
green.
Field Peas.
If you intend to grow any of this
crop and have as yet not ordered

are having some cool weather, is la

ing it to your horses, raise a little
alfalfa ihmy for the milk cows, and
then try feeding a little to the horses
occasionally. Don't forget that the
brood sow or those pigs that you
darned over winter would not foave
required as much grain if you would
have fed them some alfalfa hay. Even
the chickens like to pick over the
leaves. Then you can use the pasture
to advantage to carry the pigs on,
until time to turn them out onto the
stubble in the fall. Better give them
a little grain with the pasture, not
much, but a little will go a "long way"
toward keoping them in shape.
