"There ta do reason why our bom.
grounds should be desolate looking
five-twelfths of each year," a nursery
man whose specialty is landscape gar
dening told a reporter. "Berried shrub,
that cost lesa than half a dollar aplec
and will give fair show the second
year after planting are all that Is need
ed. "There are twenty-three or twenty
four kinds of shrubs with bright col
ored bark or berries which If planted
in the home grounds would transform
the average garden In the north from
dreariness and monotony Into ever
changing scenes of beauty and cheer
fulness. None of them Is slow grow
ing, costly or short lived In this cli
mate. "We go south In the winter and ex
claim over the fact that we see green
things in the home grounds. We sel
dom consider long enough to realise
that they are evergreens, and, although
most of the broad leaved varieties are
not to be had In the climate of the
northern states, there are many other
shrubs just as beautiful that wa
might have If we took the trouble to
plant them.. From now until the
ground freezes this planting can be
done with success, though It Is best to
get them in so that the earth will
have little time to settle about the
roots before real winter begins.
"About the best known of these ber
ried shrubs Is the snowberry, and It
Is about the least attractive of them
ail. It Is grown exclusively for Its
white glistening berries, because Its
flowers are Insignificant and its foliage
uninteresting. The berries, thoagh
beautiful and usually abundant, often
lose their fresh nesa and become an
unsightly brown In February and
March. '
"The four next best known berried
shrubs are, In my opinion, the best for
planting In the home grounds for the
sake of beautifying them during the
cold months. Tbey are the Japanese
barberry, the common or "American
barberry, the high bush cranberry and
the Rosa multiflora. Of the four the
Japaaese barberry Is my favorite.
"Don't let any one persuade yoo to
plant Rosa rugosa for Its winter ber
ries. It Is quite true that Its fruit is
as bright colored as that of the multi
flora, but the berries are coarse in com
parison and become unsightly soon aft
er the first severe spell of coid weath
er. I never expect mine to look well
after Christmas.
"The multiflora berries are not so
large as those of the high bosh cran
berry, but considerably larger than ei
ther variety of the barberry. They
grow in large clusters, a brilliant red
and extremely beautiful in the winter,
especially with a snow background or
amid glistening sleet The plant Is a
strong grower and is commonly rated
as a climber. Its single white blos
soms come in Jane and are produced
In large clusters.
"It is not troubled with garden In
sects nearly so much as other varie
ties of garden roses and is long lived
and well adapted to the climate of the
northern states. It Is one of the par
ents of the crimson rambler, and to
me its berries look as beautiful In the
winter as the blossoms of the rambler
do in the spring and summer. I con
sider it next la Importance to the bar
berries for cheering up the borne
grounds In the winter. The plants are
slightly more expensive tban those of
the common barberry, though cheap
enough to be within the reach of any
owner of a home.
"The high bush cranberry has the
largest winter red berry among the or
namental shrubs that are to be bad
for a small amount of money. The
shrub usually grows as tall as a man,
though under good conditions I have
seen It attain more than ten feet.
"It Is the single flowered form of the
old fashioned snowball and bears Its
fruit In pendent bunches of from four
to about one dozen berries each. The
fruit shrivels to some extent during
the winter, but even at that It will
measure three-eighths of an inch in
March. It is a good shrub for winter
ornamentation, and both the blossoms
and the leaves make It worth while in
even a small garden during the spring
and summer.
, "Among the small trees that give us
red berries during the winter the
mountain ash is perhaps the best be
cause, besides the beauty of Its fruit,
which grows in large clusters. It has
ornamental foliage and is entirely har
dy In the northern climate. Cockspur
ranks next to the mountain ash and
Is worthy of all the praise usually
piven It In nurserymen's catalogues
for brightening our winter landscapes.
"Besides bright berried shrubs, there
are those which have brilliantly color
ed bark during the cold months. The
Cornus alba has a brilliant scarlet
bark that will light up a dark corner
of your grounds. The stolonifera's
bark Is blood red; a mom urn, purple;
Salix vltelllna, yellow and orange,
while the Forsythia vlridissima Is a
brilliant green. Any of tbem can be
planted from now until the ground
freezes, and good specimens of the
most expensive will not cost more
tban half a dollar, while the majority
can be liad for half as much,"
PROTECTION FOR SHEEP.
Th. AtUek From Dog. I. Injuri.u. and
Detrimental In Many Ways,
An expert on the subject writes as
follows:
"While the loss from dogs Is report
ed as comparatively small, the dog
nuisance Is nevertheless a great detri
ment to the sheep tudustry In many
sections. The direct loss from severe
chasing and worrying Is often not so
great as the loss that follows. Breed
ing ewes that have been badly worried
and frightened rarely, If ever, entirely
recover. The result is usually weak
and inferior Iambs at the next lamb
ing season, with some abortions and
- T poo fboof mrt
many abnormal presentations of the
fetus. In fact many breeders of regis
tered sheep consider their breeding
flock almost ruined after having been
severely chased by dogs. Frequently
a large number of ewes will not breed
for some time after being chased and
badly frightened." "
The remedy for this nuisance Is, of
course, an efficient dog law rigidly en
forced. In the absence of this legal
protection resort may J had to dog
proof fences and like means of protec
tion. At best however, such fences
are expensive. A dog proof fence con
structed at the experiment station at
a cost of 65 cents per rod Is described
as follows:
The woven wire fence consists of
seventeen horizontal wires, the three
lower wires one and one-half inches
apart the width between wires gradu
ally increasing to Ave Inches at top.
The vertical stays are six Inches apart
The wire is fastened to poets set twenty-five
feet apart, the bottom wire be
ing three Inches from the ground.
One barbed wire Is set midway be
tween the bottom horizontal wire aad
the ground. One barbed wire Is fas
tened to the posts three inches higher
than the top wire. Two barbed wires
are attached eight Inches apart to
pieces of 2 by C scantling nailed to the
posts above the wire with twenty pen
ny nails. These pieces are set out
ward and upward with the posts.
COST OF MATERIALS.
Cents.
Red cedar posts, each 1214
Woven wire fence, per rod ............ irii
Four barbed wires, per rod IS
Total a
The 2 by 4 scantling costs about $18
per thousand and adds about a cent
per rod to cost of the fence.
Any other closely constructed fence
would answer the same purpose.
Corn Silage.
Corn silage Is about the cheapest
and most efficient to supplement the
winter ration for dairy and beef cat
tle, horses, calves and sheep. It Is
cheaper to handle the corn crop in
the form of silage than any other way.
And should there be another summer
of little rain the well stocked silo -furnishes
succulent green feed and comes
as a great relief to the husbandman.
THE DAIRYMAN
Scientists tell us that 6 cents' worth
of milk has as much nutriment in It
as 15 cents' worth of beefsteak, and It
is much easier to digest
Th. Dual PurpoM Cow.
The dual purpose cow may be all
right for some farmers, but she does
not give as much milk as the dairy
cow and eats considerably more, nor
does she produce as much beef as the
beef cow and eats Just about as much.
Value of th. Silo.
The silo Is the best method of pre
serving one of tbe best and cheapest
milk foods there Is. The man who can
grow corn successfully, whether for
beef or milk, should not fall to have
one. Then If be can grow red clover
or alfalfa well be Is doubly blessed. '
Right Uu of Separator.
Every user of a cream separator
should be careful to see that the ma
chine Is not run at too low a speed.
Instances have been found where
from this cause skimmllk has con
tained butter fat to tbe amount of 1
per cent This is a costly mistake and
one that can easily be rectified. It
has been demonstrated that tbe sepa
tor run by a small gasoline engine Is
cheaper than the one run by band. In
tbe business of dairying the small
things count a great deal.
Skimmilk I. Valuable.
A well known breeder of Guernseys,
when asked bow he reckoned the value
of skimmllk, answered as follows:
"If fed to young plgg less tban 200
pounds weight, when live pork Is
worth $5 per hundred, I count skim
mllk worth 30 cents a hundred pounds.
If fed to grade Guernsey heifer calves,
I count It worth from 50 to GO cents a
hundred. That Is, I can sell the heif
ers at ten months of age and make tbe
milk net me that per hundred. If fed
to registered calves it Is certainly
worth from fl to $2 per hundred
pounds, for I know of no other feed
that will make up for a lack of skim
mllk In securing a profitable growth
on a calf. The only trouble I ever bad
with skimmilk was a lack of It But
the way farmers, usually feed It and
handle it convinces me that tbey really
know but little of Its value."
QUARTERS FOR
THE FLOCK
To keep healthy and thrive sheep
should be provided with quarters suit
able to their needs. It to essential
that their quarters be separate from
other stock. Sheep prefer seclusion
from othvr farm animals. Tbey get
along with youug calves probably bet
ter than with any other stock. In dis
cussing this phase of flock manage
ment Frofessor Hcury say:
"Above every other animal on the
farm, the sheep to be profitable must
be kept dry as to coat and feet. In
attention to either of these essentials
will result disastrously. With dry
quarters sheep will stand a consider
able degree of cold without inconven
ience. Indeed, their quarters should
not be as warm as for other animal.
One thickness of closely matched
boards will make the barn or shed
where the sheep are confined suffi
ciently warm in the northern states
except for winter lambs. Ventilation
is of great Importance and sliould be
ample, care being taken to avoid direct
drafts.
"The amount 'of space provided for
each sheep will vary with the size of
the animal. A ewe weighing 100
pounds will require about ten square
feet of ground space, while one weigh
ing 130 pounds should have about fif
teen square feet. A space 40 by -W
feet square will therefore accommo
date about 1C0 sheep welshing 100
pounds each or 100 weighing 100
pounds each, not allowing for feed
racks. Provide fifteen Inches runuing
length of feed rack for each sheep
weighing 100 pounds and two feet for
those weighing 200 pounds."
A shed open to the south on well
drained ground and not over twenty
feet wide makes an ideal place for
sheep. It also makes a very satisfac-
A CHAMPION BAHFSHIBB RAX.
tory place to care for the lambs when
they come. Pens can easily be made
by the use of panels or hurdles.
Provide wide, shallow troughs for
feeding that can be cleaned regularly.
Don't expect tbe lambs, whether range
or native, to do well unless tbey have
clean food and clean water as well.
Bait is also valuable in getting tbe
lambs started on grain, and it should
be given throughout the feeding pe
riod and always regularly.
The most successful lamb feeder Is
the man who studies tbe needs of tbe
lambs closest In short, this requires
th&t a man love to be among tbem,
treat tbem kindly always and be ready
to give intelligent attention to their
needs at all times.
Getting tbe lambs on a grain ration
is the most critical period, and a close
watch should be kept It has been
said that lambs are tbe poor man's
friends, but this does not imply that
they can be fed and finished on a field
of weeds and an occasional feed of
grain. The better tbe grazing and tbe
more suited tbe ration tbe better price
the lambs will bring on the market.
Sheep pay for extra care expended
on tbem as well as any otber kind of
animals. They respond to feed and
good management in a way that Is
pleasing to every observing person and
thereby keep more vigorous and
healthy and produce more wool and
stronger, larger lambs.
8wist Goats.
A herd of five imported Swiss milk
goats bas Just been received at the
farm of tbe agricultural experiment
station At the University of Wisconsin
for co-operative tests on the breeding
and rearing of milk goats to determine
their usefulness, economy of milk pro
duction and relation to other classes of
live stock. This type of goats, known
as the Schwarzenburg-Guggesberger
breed. Is noted for its large milk pro
duction, tbe milk being of particular
value for infants and Invalids, since
goats are practically Immune to tuber
culosis. These goats are kept in Swit
zerland as a chief source of food for
poor people. There are very few In the
United States, and this is believed to
be tbe first time a careful test of their
usefulness has been attempted In this
country.
H.av.s Hard to Cur.
There is no cure for heaves aftef
tbe disease Is thoroughly organized.
In such cases tbe lungs are broken
down In structure, and medicine does
not repair the damage. Give half no
ounce of Fowler's solution of arsenic
night and morning. Wet ail food.
Feed grass In summer and wet oat
straw In preference to hay. Allow
double tbe usual period of rest before
working after meals.
8win. of Uniform Color.
. The herd of swine should be of uni
form color, and the lots of swine for
market should be of as near uniform
size, shape and color as possible. The
packers pay more for this kind of
hogs.
Oilmeal.
A handful of oilmeal dolly In the
horse's ration will help put a gloss
upon his coat.
SHETLAND PONIES.
Th.r. I. Good D.m.nd, and Th.y Can
B. Raistd With Much Profit.
An authority thoroughly familiar
with the Six-timid pony and Its his
tory says there is an ever Increasing
demand In this country for them. The
farmer could very well turn his atten
tion to raisin; them and realize much
profit therefrom.
Egypt was the original country, for
horses, but as they are now found In
all parts of tbe world they differ great
ly, each kind of Uorwe being adapted
to the climate and pruductlonit of the
country he Inhabits. The Shetland
pony Is Just the animal required In
Scotland, tbe Shetland Islands (from
which Its uauie is derived) and Can
ada. Its diminutive vise suits tbe
scanty vegetation of these countries,
which would not support lurg. aul
ninla, but if they were as feeble as
W tan
SHETLAND fOMY.
they are small they would be of little
service. They, however, possess Im
mense strength lu proportion to their
size and are so tougb and healthy that
they ran livi among the mountain
through king winters and survive to a
great age, even fifty or sixty years.
The pony of tbe Shetland Lslca Is, lu
fact, the offspring of circumstances,
lie Is tbe pet of tbe family, gentle as
an Arab's steed under similar training,
lie will follow his friends Indoors like
a dog and lick tbe platters or the chil
dren's faces. He bas no more kick'
In him than a rat and no more bite
tban a puppy.
lie Is a noble example of tbe com
plete suppression of those vicious pro
pensities that tome equities exhibit
when tbey are 111 treated and of tbe
intelligence and good temper that may
be develoed lu horses by kindness.
And so tbe "Sbeltle". Is lit aulwal
which for many generullons hits beet,
bred and trained under xpoolnl uud pe
culiar circumstances, and hence his
physique and genernl character, bis
hereditary Inst I net g and Intelligence,
his small size aud bis purity and fixity
of type.
It baa been demonstrated that the
Shetland Is Just as well adapted for
America as elsewhere, and there are
the best of reasons that the little fel
low should be extensively bred in our
fair land.
Hors. Lor..
Be careful how you turn out to grass
in tbe autumn a horse tbat bas been
accustomed to a dry stable.
lie is poorly prepared to stay out In
the cold rain, much less to lie on tbe
wet ground.
The exposure Is too great and can
only work harm. Lung troubles may
follow.
Nothing Improves tbe coat of a horse
so much or so quickly as a little
ground flaxseed mixed with his dally
grain ration.
Never feed or water a tired horse un
til be bas rested at least an hour.
Sponge out tbe mouth and nose with
cool water and rub tbe legs and body
well as soon as tbe stable is reached.
If water bas been withheld for a
long time, give only a few swallows
at a time.
As heavy work slackens, slacken on
tbe heavy feed. Thousands of horses
are ruined every year by overfeeding
while on light work.
It Is never well to give animals im
pure or muddy water, but the horse la
especially apt to be affected badly by
that practice. In fact, horses will not
drink such water If they can help it.
Do your best to help It.
Shoe every horse as lightly as is pos
sible for the labor he la to perform
and thus avoid needless concussion
and Jar to feet and legs.
After removing a saddle apply plen
ty of cold water with a sponge. This
closes the pores, and no Injury or
g welling will follow.
It la a good plan to girth a thick felt
separately about tbe borse under a side
saddle. This affords a surface for tbe saddle
to move on and lessens tbe danger of
chafing or bruising.
Be sure that your bridle and saddle
fit and are properly put on.
Never use a narrow bit. Buy the
largest and easiest one tbat you can
find.
Beef and Butter Fat.
An expert says it costs Just as much
to produce a pound of beef as It does
a pound of butter fat, and tbe beef
brings to the producer only 0 cents a
pound, while the fat is worth 30 cents
and better to him. We are look
ing for the time when the dairy cow
will displace the beef steer. The time
Js coming when tbe workingman will
pack a pound of cheese in bis lunch
pail the same as does tbe Britisher
when be goes to work, and tben beef
will be the luxury of the rich, as It is
all oter Europe today. This evolution
will provide labor for more people and
will go largely toward solving tbe so
cial status of the future In more ways
tban one.
Th. Dehorned Animal.
The dehorned animal Is safer to
handle and of a more peaceable dis
position. The defenseless beast bas no
particular inclination to fight when
powerless to do much barm.
