Treating Wounds of Treos.
The Ohio station reports that two
steps In pruning wound treatment of
trues may be found necessary. One Is
the sterilisation of tbe surface of
wound by the use of a torch or tbe
application of an antiseptic or spore
destroying substance. The other
tbe application of dressings to prevent
the entrance of harmful spores or bac
teria. One such dressing Is generally
sullk'lcut There are a large number
of effective germicides,' such as cor
rosive sublimate, gasollue, kerosene,
carbolic acid, petroleum, copper sul
phate and formaldehyde. The avalln
blllty of any depends largely upon the
nature of the wound. Protective
paints have usually been applied es
dressings, but, as a rule, these are very
Ineffective. Far better are prepiira
tlons of BHphultum and residual tars.
To Kill the Csnsda Thistle.
According to flu Iowa press bulletin

a good method for tlio eradication

vnto frequently during tlio summer.
After plowing the soil should be drug
ged and the roots exposed to the sun
nnd removed. It mny be found neces
sary to cut off with a hoe the stray

EXPERIENCE WITH
DUAL PURPOSE COWS
In Hie beginning of my career us a
tnilkuinu 1 thought the dual purpose
cow was Best suited for the dairyman
localise sliu gave large ipiimlltli-s of
tnllk nnd was ready lo be devoured by
carnivorous hiiIiiiiiIs of the human
family at anytime. Hut my customers
logiin to complain of the lack of.
rroniii on iu milk. Ho J purchased a
few Jerseys Willi the expectation of
sacrificing ipmiillty for quality. To
my surprise the Jerseys gave a much
milk lu the year ns the rihorlliorus and
Ited Tolls, writes K. lirown in tho Na
tional Htockman, The dual purpose
rows gave a large quantity of mux in
the first six months after freshening,
tln-ii took a lung nml much needed
rest, while the dairy breeds continue
to give full measiiros of milk and
Hoinotliticn lire hard to get dry lit all.
t'oiiipaiing the bunch of single purpose
breeds with tlio dunl breeds 1 cume
A. W. Gsrvw of Maryland says
of dual purpose cutlta: "We have a
hc-nl of pure liiecl gliorthoms which
trin dual purpusa cattle. The
rows k'vo s S"i1 uinount of milk
from nine to tun months a year
nnil rnlse culves that bring from
176 to 113. We leave the calves on
tbe cows from three to six months
and then milk thi-ia until they go
dry. After the cotrii so dry they
take on Ittwh very fast and are In
flue huiw when they calve. One of
our cow 0-nve forty pounds of milk
a day diiruiK the fourth month aft
er freshening;."
to the conclusion that the former were
the more profitable, as they consumed
less feed for tlio amount of milk pro
duced. Of course "one swallow dcs?s not
mako a summer," neither does my
opinion prove the fallacy of dualism.
However, when a man Is fanning a
rundown farm and every nickel looks
big to him be tries to get at the
source of profit.
I have great respect for Trofessor
Kliaw and like to rend his articles,
but 1 think he Is In error on this
point, as It litis lwen proved ninny
times that single purpose breeds will
produce enough prollt so the owners
cau buy their beef with the extra mon
ey over what the beef breeds would
yield.
WHEN THE FOALS COME.
Suggestion For the Prevention of Na
vel Infeotion,
Cleanliness of stables where preg
nant mares are kept must be Insisted
UMn. This 1 especially necessary
where outbreaks of navel 111 have been
known to exist Mares in the last
stages of gestation should be placed in
a box stall whlcb has previously been
cleaned amfolslnfected.
Tbe foal when dropped should be
placed ou clean bedding. In any event
the cord of the foal should be washed
in a disinfectant solution and tied at
about one and one-half Inches from
the navel with a band or string which
has previously been soaked in a dlaln
fectant solution. The navel cord 1
then severed about one-half Inch be
low the band with a sharp pair of
scissors and again disinfected. Tbe
ligature should, however, not be tight
ened until pulsation of the vessels In
the cord has ceased. The stump of
the cord is then painted with strong
carbolic acid solution, tincture of Io
dine or a mixture of equal part of
tincture of iodine and glycerin.
The stump should be washed dully
with a disinfectant and either painted
with Iodine mixture or carbolic add or
dusted with some reliable antiseptic
healing powder. The parchment like
dried stump may be cut off after five
days and the navel wound washed
with a disinfectant solution and dust
ed with powder until healed. United
State Department of Agriculture.
The Colt's Feet.
Every colt should In It weanling
form be gentled so that all of Its feet
may be picked up without any fuss.
Qet tbe colts up on the barn floor. If
the hoofs have grown long, cut away
the projecting portions with a chisel
aud mallet and then rasp the ground
contacting surface of the wall level
Keep the toes moderately short and
round off the edges with a rasp so that
thoy will not catch on uneven going
and splinter the hoof. Let tbe frog
alone nud never use the kulfe.
The Bedding Problem.
Tho problem of bedding for the farm
stock is one that Is assuming consider
able importance. One way to take
care of this Is to shred nil of the fod
dor that la not used in the silos nnd
after tho rttttle hnve eaten whut they
will put the balance under them for
bedding. It Is a good way to got tho
stalks back on the farm, and at the
same time it economizes some of the
crops that would otherwise go to
waste.

WINTER SPRAYING FOR TREES
Dormant 8praying Is the Only Method
For Destroying Certain Petts.
There Is long list of tree pests, ene
mies of fruit yields and actual destroy
ers of tin; trees, tliut should be vigor
ously fought In winter, suy a writer
In I'll rm Progress. So far tbe enly
ujetlmd discovered fur combating them
Is by winter spraying.
Late winter is the time for "annual
tiotisiK'leiiiilng" In the orchards. The
list of fiii-riiles that can be checked or
entirely wiped out by winter or dor

Illil'lt'lV.
Winn you spray, spray thoroughly.
Winter spraying is no exception to the
rule, and the spray material should be
put on with force enough to Pfieb all
(he lurking enemies. Thorough 'spray
ing brings up the question of proper
equipment All the Imrk must be wet
ted. At least 100 pounds of pressure
is iiii-iKsary, ami lu some case 1 have

lug ought to be tilde to distinguish tbe
different kinds of enemies found on
the trees In winter. lie ought to buy a
good pocket lens, costing about 75
cents, and carefully study all the para
sites, scabs find fungi be can find.
In buttling with mildew, mites,
spiders and moths all Infected tree
should be pruned aud the dead and
decaying parts removed. All wounds
should be cleaned out and the flaking,
scaling bark ought to be scraped away
from the trunks. Let this work pre
cede the spraying with lime-sulphur.
All rubbish should be burned at once.
This will expose all the hibernating
pests so the spray will reach them
easily. Every part of tbe tree ought
to be bathed in the film of spray even
to the tlulest twig. The best time for
applying sprays to the pests mentioned
Is a short time before tbe buds show
signs of swelling.
Bordeaux 6-4-50 is the spray used
most in late winter spraying, when the
lime-sulphur is deemed inadequate.
It is very effective in dealing with an
thrarnose and incipient cases of peach
leaf curl. To be really effective the
spray should be put on at a dry time,
as a fall of rain will wash off much of
the spraying material and lessen its ef
fectiveness. The one pest tbnt ought to be fought
hardest by the winter sprayer Is the
San Jose scale. Look for the round.
grayish and black, button shaped
bodies with a pimple-like elevation In
the center, This elevation is about tbe
size of a pin bead and . is often sur
rounded by a red ring. Lime-sulphur
solution properly applied will kill the
Sun Jose scale at any date between the
falling of tho leaves and tbe leafing
out lu spring.
There are three rules that I think
every man should apply In going about
spraying, whether he Is doing the work
In winter or in summer. They are:
When you spray, be sure you are do
ing It at the right time. .
If you don't know the reason why
you are spraying, don't spray at all. .
The ouly way to know the reasons
for spraying is to study up on every
insect or fungus that Is causing you
trouble now or may trouble you in
tbe near future.
Men no longer argue about the value
of spraying. That hits been settled for
nil time. The scnbless, sound and
smooth skinned fruit of the sprayed
orchard has settled that question. All
that remains for us to know is the
when and the how.
Barnyard Manure.
Barnyard mnuure Is indispensable as
a fertiliser on thin and siindy land
that is to be fanned. It supplies hu
mus us well ns nitrogen, and the effect
of the humus Is often more desirable
than the Increase of plant food, though
both nre surely needed if the lund be
thin.
