j Work For Boys.
1 The man. who hopes for fruit, wheth
er he has ten trees or a thousand, must
keep the Insect war moving. Some
thing can be done now which will tell
for the saving of the fruit next sum
mer. Those who have large orchards
are prepared for spraying, but thou
sands of farmers whose fruit la only
a side Issue are not so prepared, re
marks Iowa Homestead.
But for that reason they need not
abandon the orchard entirely. They
may do much to save the crop on their
fifty or hundred trees. Have the boys go
over the trees carefully and gather all
of the worms' eggs, cocoons, etc. Ev
ery dead leaf found adhering to
limb covers a bunch of worms eggs,
and you will be surprised at the num
ber of these . when they are gathered
together. An active boy with a good
tall stepladder will gather a pocket
ful In an hour, nnd every one of them
should be carefully deposited In the
redhot kitchen stove. Do this work
carefully and persistently, and the re
sult will appear next summer to your
great delight
Cultivation of tho Currant.
' As the currant to do well must have
a good supply of moisture, cultivation
should be begun soon after planting
and the surface soil kept loose during
the summer. While the plants are
young the cultivation may be fairly
deep In the middle of the rows, but
when the roots begin to extend across
the rows cultivation should be quite
hallow, as many of the roots are quite
near tho surface. W. T. Macoun.
: Disease of the Quince.
' The quince is subject to much tho
same disease and Insects as pear and
apple. It is especially liable to injury
by the black rot, blight, rust and leaf
spot, which together almost destroy the
quince crop annually. They could be
easily prevented by a little trouble In
spraying and cutting out blight and
black rot injuries. J. B. S. Norton.

HORSE THAT PAYS.
The Drafter Money Coiner For the
Farmer Breeder.
Br RUFFS C. OBRKC1IT. University of
l.luiou experiment station.
Draft horses whose principal work
is to haul heavy loads at the walk are
divided Into three subclasses, heavy
draft, light draft and loggers, all of
which are much of the same type. The
Ideal drafter is a rugged, heavy set.
compactly built horse with great
weight and strength. Strength and en
durance are the principal qualities

A choice hvy drafter, for several years

live stock show at Chicago. Note his

ought and are best secured by the
horse throwing weight into the collar
rather than by muscular exertion of
the limbs. The drafter should be
oroaa, massive individual with sym
metry of bone and muscle, standing
from ld.3 to H2 hands high and in
good flesh weighing not less than 1,600
pounds for the lighter sorts. Since he
docs his work by throwing weight Into
the collar, the heavier the horse, other
things being equal, the more efficient
he will be. Along with weight be
should possess moderately heavy bone
with quality, indicating suflclent
strength and substance to carry his
body and not give the appearance of
being top heavy. His height should
result from depth of body rather than
length of leg. In fact as a rule, the me
dium short legged horses possess more
endurance than those with long legs.
He should be broad of chest with a
large girth and not cut up In the flank.
His legs should set well nnder bis
body, for If they are otherwise and he
is very broad he will likely be inclined
to roll, causing laborious action. The
back and coupling should bo short and
the loin broad and well muscled, this
region being the connecting link Join
ing the propellers to the weight car
riers. The hips should be rounding
and smooth, the croup long and mus
cular, the quarters deep, the thighs
broad, the gaskins and cannons rela
tively short The bead should be me
dium in size and neatly set on a neck
of good length, with crest moderately
heavy and well developed. The ideal
conformation of the draft horse will
vary somewhat according to the mar
ket nnder consideration. European
markets, especially British markets,
want a more upstanding draft horse
with a longer neck than Is demanded
by American markets. New York, be
ing a groat shipping port, demands lar
ger and more upstanding horses than

any other city in the United States.
This is because of the large wagons
used and heavy loading for the docks.
Draft horses are used by wholesale
mercantile houses, packers, brewers,
coal dealers, contractors, lumbermen
and firms having heavy teaming work.
They are in demand in all large cities.
New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel
phia and Buffalo being especially ac
tive In the trade. They are wanted for
export, but during the past few years
prices have been too high In the Unit
ed States to make exportation profit
able, and consequently but few draft
horses have been exported. The sup
ply Is much short of the demand, caus
ing sharp competition, ond consequent
ly drafters are bringing good prices on
the open market
For Corn Ground.
Nitrogen applied in the form of sta
ble manure is especially beneficial as a
dressing for corn ground. If corn Is
grown for fodder or for eating and can
ning purposes, the amount of stable
manure or nitrogenous fertilizer applied
may be increased. A. L. Knisely.
Alfalfa In the West
One of the principal reasons why al-
falfa grows so successfully over ex
tensive regions In the west is thought
to be the greater uniformity of soil;
conditions over larger areas than la'
many of the eastern and especially At-I
lantlc coast states.

Up to Date Gardening.
Three things are essential to the pro
duction of an early crop namely, early
varieties, early planting, rapid growth.
It Is as useless to attempt to beat a
competitor on the local market with
variety that Is normally ten days
later than his variety as it would be to
enter a draft horse In n speed contest
against a standard bred trotter. While
It Is true that many of the earliest varl
etles are not of as high quality as the
later sorts, when earllness Is tbe factor
which determines the profits, other
characteristics of the variety are of
secondary importance. Of course the
man who la growing vegetables for his
own table will Include In his garden
some of the later high quality sorts.
but the present attitude of most mar
kets offers little Inducement to the
commercial grower to select varieties
of high quality unless they are also
early.
Very early In the spring there are
usually a few days of warm weather
and a cessation of showers, resulting
In sufficient drying of the soil In favor
ed locations to permit the preparation
of a seed bed and the planting of cer
tain hardy vegetables. It often hap
pens that In this brief period of fa
vorable weather the soil does not quite
reach workable condition except In fa
vorable locations.
The aim, then, should be to select a
site for early vegetables which will
reach a workable condition as early as
any soil In the locality. A well drain
ed piece of land should be chosen, and
If tbe slope is to the south It will dry
out still eatller.-John W. Loyd, Illi
nois.
Nut Growing.
Nut growing In the United States
would bo a much more profitable in
dustry were It not for the Insects
which inhabit tbe kernels, rendering
them unfit for food. This la especially
true of the chestnut nnd chinquapin
and to a lesser extent of pecan, hick
ory and hazel nuts, while others, which
lncludo butternuts, walnuts and al
monds, suffer little or no Injury from
this source. Conshlerable diminution
In tho yield of many forms of nuts is
also caused by the Inroads of Insect
larvae In the growing husks. Exam
ples of the first class are the chestnut
worms or weevils, of tho second the
husk worms and walnut curcullo.
Transplanting Cabbage.
In transplanting cabbage plants for
the early crop put them In deep enough
to completely cover the stem.

SOUCITtO
The careless hired limn, even If ob
tainable at boy's wage. Is the movt
exHMiitlv proiHwlttou that a muu can
have on til farm.
It Is well to remember that, as a rule,
weeds exhaust the fertility of the soil

If the orchard Is doing business (111

It should be fertilised Just as should

While a horse trader may be honest,
there Is presumptive evidence that if
ho Is consistently so he cannot stay In
the business any great length of time.

It Is a good Idea to wage an effective

lie Is a very Inconsistent school pa
tron who buys ten dolllar rooster for
his fiock of poultry, a $-1)0 sire for his
herd of cattle and yet who kicks on
paying $40 n month for the services of
a competent teacher for the district
school.
Any farmer Is Justified In setting his
dog on the lightning rod agent, the
average fruit tree peddler, the book
agent and the small boy from town
with tho gun. It Is a debatable ques
tion perhaps whose calves out of the
bunch ought to be chewed tho harder.
For the novice In the bortlculihral
business It Is well to remember that
it is more satisfactory all around as
well as more profitable to set one or
two varieties of apple trees of recog
nized hardiness and merit as to quality
of fruit than to dabble In ten or fifteen
vnrletles. which are quite likely to be
well dcKcrllied by saying tliut thiy are

It is fair to assume flint the man or
woman who makes much of his rf her
religious profession nnd yet whose the
ories ure not put Into practice lu tho
Home lire and relations lias but a
shoddy, veneer kind of religion after

he would the cur that licked his lmots
In the street The good Lord discounts
heavily all such "counterfeit stuff as
this.
One western ' municipality that the
writer knows of has settled the tromn
problem In n very effective yet simple
manner. The aldermen of tho town
have passed nn ordinance levying a
fine on any person who feeds a tramp.
Coupled with this, strict orders have
!een given to tho residents requesting
them to ring for a patrol wogm"at
once when a tramp stops nnd asks for
food. If ho Is there on the arrival of
the patrol he Is taken to police head
quarters, where ho Is given food nnd
clothing. If necessary, but where he Is
mndo to work his board nnd lodging
out ou n city wood or stone pile. So
well does this plan work that tramps
shun the town ns tbey would a pesti
lence.
In view of the stress which tho fed
eral government and many states are
now laying on tho matter of a preser
vation of the forests of the country,
Arbor dny should take on nn added
meaning with Its Interesting nnd pa
triotic observances. Not only should
he thought of tbe dny be put Into ac
tual practice by planting trees In tho
Hchool yards to furnish shade and
make them more attractive, but there
should 1)0 instilled iuto tho hearts of
(he pupils at an early date tho Impor
tant services which these trees render
to man nnd the duty that resta upon
all of so protecting trees nnd forests
already growing and setting new trees
that In future years the lumber and
fuel supply of the courtry shall not
