8 Farm Notes
Fruit Trees Dying in Jackson County.
There is somo little uneasiness felt
among our fruit growers, especially
among those who havo young orchards,
because of the fact that quite a number
of their trees, varying in ago from one
to four years, have died during the last
ten days or two weeks. The only rea
son, or theory, advanced for this un
usual occurence is the tew hot days wo
had a couple of weeks ago. It is thought
by many that those excessively an un
seasonable hot days rushed the sap too
quickly and too plentifully from the
roots to the body of the trees and that
the hot sun soured the sap, thus killing
the trees. From the fact that during
the three or four weeks immediately
proceeding the hot spell the weather
was decidedlv cool and during that
time the trees did not advance a parti'
cle toward bloom, this theory is made
quite plausible. Had the bark of the
trees been split with a sharp instrument
and some of the sap allowed to escape it
is thought that many of them could
have been saved. The above mentioned
theory is borne out quite conclusively
by a citizen of Medford, who had several
young lilac trees growing. During those
hot days one of these trees leaved out
and verv suddenlv thereafter the leaves
began to wither. As soon as this was
discovered the other trees were protect
ed from the sun's rays by placing bur
lapping around them. These did not
die, but the first one mentioned did.

Thlncs Worth Knowing.
We know a great many things we do
not know. That is we know things that
we know sometimes and it is the mis
sion of this article to prompt the mem
ory of those who.make the poultry busi
ness a study.
As a rule fat hens are inactive and do
not lay well. Let a hen work for all the
feed she gets and she will soon be aiding
in filling the egg basket.
Some dry tobacco leaves crumbled in
the nest will help to keep down vermin
during the incubation season. There
are other means of fighting lice, but
this is a common one and the remedy is
easily applied. As soon as a hen is tak
en off a nest the old straw should be re
moved and burned and the nest disin
fected. A hen that is laying well is difficult to
make lay on fat. Egg production is in
imical to fattening.
Sweet milk is a splendid diet for both
old and young fowls, but chicks should
not be permitted to wade in the milk
and ::t the down on their bodies wet
witn it.
It is a good plan to keep plenty of
lime scattered over the ground where
hens are confined. Disease is scarce
where lime is freely used- Lime, either
dry or in whitewash is one of the cheap
est and readiest disinfectants known to
the poultryman. It should be daubed
everywhere without stint.
There should be no such thing as neg
lecting the dust bath. Where a dust
bath is provided for the house inside
where it cannot be subjected to wet
weather an addition to tobacco stems
will be a great help. These should be
pulverized and mixed with the dust.
When grain of any kind is fed fowls
on open ground they eat to ,'rapidly for
their good, and for this reason it ie far
better to always feed whole grain in
litter so scratching will have to be in
dulged in which will combine business
with pleasure and the eating will be in
a more natural manner.
Medicine should not be necessary to
employ as feed is employed. There are
those who feel that it is necessary to
feed poultry medicine when they are
well. There is a fallacy that should be
dismissed from the mind at once. Iowa

Tonne Turtt'j s.
Just a few hints as to young turkeys
Keep them free from the dangers of in
sect manifestation; guard them ftom
this trouble and cold and damp as well.
Burn up the old dirty coops that have
been used quite too often. They may
be full of germs and vermin. Have
new, clean coops for the turkey hens,
chicken hens and their young; try hand
feeding to start the poults along that
is, take stale bread, soak it in sweet
milk, press out all the moisture, hold
this between your fingers close to the
mouth of the little poults and coax
them to eat. When taught to eat from
the hand, feed them different kinds of
food in this way. This tames them, in
duces them to eat better, grow faster and
stronger, and if neglected by the hens,
as they often are, it will not matter so
much, as they will be well fed.
Many turkey hens do not teach their
poults to eat as they should. They are
not attentive in this way as they should
be for the welfare of their poults. It is
not unusual for the turkey hens to pay
so little attention to teaching the poults
to eat as to allow them almost to starve.
They will brood them well, but often
fail to call them to eat as the chicken
hen will. Hand feeding overcomes this
danger to a very great extent and helps
the poults to grow faster and be strong
er. Feed the little poults early and
often. Their coops are email; they
grow fast, must have plenty of food,
and to have plenty should be fed quite
frequently at first and only a little at a
time. Don't overfeed, and above all,
avoid rich foods that clog digestion.
Bread soaked in milk and pressed dry,
small oat meal, some hard-boiled egg
shell and all mashed fine and mixed
with bread, one-half of each. Don't
feed the bread and egg oftener than
once a day; it is rather rich for them.
Give a change of diet, use a lot of good,
common renee along with the feeding,
don't coddle too much, and you should
do well with them.
The young chicks will demand your
attention for a while. Keep them grow
ing, keep them away from the wet,
damp and cold, give them a comfortable
box coop to live in, feed them dry foods,
not sloppy or wet food, and they should
do well. Table scraps cut fine and
mixed with meal and boiled milk is
good for them. But bo sure to have
this crumbly and dry, not wet like
mush or soup. More harm is done the
chicks by feeding sloppy food than can
be told in a year; remember the young
chick grinds all its food in its gizzard.
It must have something to grind and
something to grind it with as well. The
many foods sold for feeding young chicks
grow in popularity because they aro a
mixturo or combination of all the chick
needs to eat, including grain, grit,
greens, charcoal and animal food.
In growing chickens, turkeys, geese,
ducks and squabs, steer close to nature's
lemands. Don't try to apply too many
unnatural methods; avoid too much
coddlinc; treat them as fowls ; neither
neglect their wants nor heap upon them
cares ana attentions unneeuea. nave
always in mind that if in wild state
they would roost in a clean place every
night, that they would naturally select
a drv. well-protected spot for their
abode, and not a damp, dirty, unhealthy
spot infested with vermin. They would
feed on seeds, bugs, worms, grasses,
nuts and berries, but never on slops
Thev would not select their abode for
the night where the water, if it rained,
would run in on them. Hiey would
roost on high, not low, ground. Think
of this when the coop is placed for the
mother and young. Even geese and
ducks select the high ground for the
night. Keep close to natural ways, and
better results will come than if unnat
ural methods are applied. Homestead
Hairy JSote.
Ureecliy cattle are made by poor
fences. A cow is ever ready for pas
tures new and forbidden territory and
will avail herself of every opportunity of
investigating them. So keep sates
closed and fences in repair.
A Brown Swiss cow, Fluorine, has
made a remarkable record in milk and
butter production lately at the Cornell
(New York);Experinient Station, giving
475.1 pounds of milk in seven days
which made 23.1 pounds of butter.
A German investigator made measure
ments on SO cows wherebv he divided
them into gioups. From the result ob
tained from these it was concluded that
there was unmistakable relation be
tween external form and the production
of milk and butter. Those who do not
believe there is such a thing as a dairy
type should not be too sure of their po
sition.
A Canadian farmer who kept "4 cows
and two hired men tested his cows with
the Babcock test, and found that eight
were unprofitable. He disposed of them
and let one hired man go, and at the
end of the vear found that he had made
as much money from the 10 as from th
24. Now he has got down to 1- good
cows, and exiects as much from them
as he made from twice that nuniler
Now he can increase up to hs original
number as fast as he can find or grow
good cows and increase his profits.
The cow ought to be kept cleaner than
the horse. This is difficult because of
the habits of the animal, but for this
reason the cows should receive more
care. Their Hanks should be kept free
from manure; they should be brushed,
and the bag should be wiped with a
damp cloth or sponge just before milk
ing to prevent dirt from falling into the
milk. The amount of dirt and filth that
sets into the milk from the cow is sur
prising and is one of the chief causes of
the rapid spoiling of milk. To reduce
this still further, good dairymen are be
ginning to use special pails. Rural

Scaly Leg Incubation Chicks.
In some localities poultry is largely
affected with what is known as scaly
leg. This is cansed by a little insect
that grows much after the fashion of the
coral insects in the ocean. If a hen is
made use of that is affected with this
disease for hatching and brooding a
clutch of eggs you may be certain that
all the chicks will be afflicted with the
same ailment. It is better by far never
to make use of a sittins hen to hatch
and brood a lot of chicks that are affect
ed with scaly leg. Get rid of all such
aud guard against the ailment as much
as possible. It may be cure! throngl
the constant use of kerosene oil on the
shanks; then thoroughly wash and oil
tbem. ' But you will never be certain
that you are rid of it as long as there is
the slightest of it among your poultry
Painting the roosts with liquid lice kill
er has a tendency to drive it away. The
best possible method is to prevent the
possibility of its gaining a foothold in
your flock.
The reason for turning the e?gs in the
incubator is to prevent the germ cell in
the top of the yolk from adhering to the
inner membrane of the egg. The yolk
floats about on the top of the albumen
or white of the egg. The germ cell is
always uppermost and next to the inner
membrane of the shell. If this is al
lowed to be stationary any great length
of time, the inside skin of the egg may
become fastened, which prevents the
egg from hatching. The hen continu
any Keeps uie eggs moving a little in
the nest. The practice of turning the
eggs completely over from one tray to
another in the incubator has become
tne rule, out it every one would move
the eggs about each day once or twice,
to as to be certain that no eggs were al
lowed to remain in the same position
longer than a single day, the same good
would be accomplished and more ad
vantages might be gained than can
come from turning them completely up
side down from one tray to another.
They must, however, be turned and
moved about; if this is neglected, but
very poor results can be hoped for.
The dry grain ration has become the
moet popular for growing young chicks.
The large number of chick foods offered
for sale havo como into existence in
response to the demand for a better food
for the growing of young chicks. Tho
natural food of poultry is small grain,
seeds, grasses, bugs and worms. The
combination of all these elements is ob
tained in the best chick foods, which are
therefore the beat food for growing
chicks during the close season. When
they are used, there is leas danger of
bowel trouble and like ailments that
are brought about oraggravated through
the use of wet or sloppy foods. Baked
corn bread or johnny-cake is very popuH
lar for the same reasons. If all the
clear eggs that do not hatch in the in-
bator or under the hens were saved and
used with milk for making the corn
bread or johnn-cako for the young
chicks, it would be much improved.
Next to the dry grain diet comes this
kind of cooked diet, on either of which
the young chicks seem to prosper best.
Few still believe in mixing ground meal
with cold water into a thick mash or
paste and feeding to the young cliiekB ;
people throughout the whole ronit.try
havo learned that this is the most des
tructive manner of feeding.
Do not forget tho value "f tho colony
system for growing tho young chicks.
It is verv easy to build coups that may
be placed out in tho fields for houses
and shelter for tho growing pullets that
we hope to make use of as laying hens
for the coming winter. In these colony
coons thev mav bo kept until tho cold
weather is at hand in tho fall. They do
better, grow better, are more healthy
mid vigorous for the winter work at
hand when raised in this way, rather
than when kept in warm, clor-o f-helters
that may be injurious to their constitu
tional vigor.
In preparing the coop for mother tur
key hen and tho young chicks, have it
largo enough and roomy enough for
their comfort. Many make use of a
very large-sized dry goods box, with
slats in front and n good thick coating o.
drv earth on tho inside. New boxes of
this kind are certain to bo free from
lurking vermin, and so far as the coop
itself is concerned, thero will be no
danger of an infestation of lice. These
boxes may be covered over on the out
side with tar paper, so a3 to prevent the
rain from getting into them. Hut as
soon as the young poults are old enough,
they should have their liberty. Coun

TratiMferrliitf. Colonies.
A reader of the Farmer, of St. Paul,
writes to the bee detriment of that
paper as follows: "I wish to know the
best time and way in which to transfer
two colonies from some 10-frame t-quare
hives to eight-frame hives, so as to have
all my hives like. The mijhts are not
convenient aud cannot be made ?
They are very strong co'onie with lot.
of honey. I wish to increase as lust as
I can. Had 1 better let them swarm all
they will, then transfer after swarming
season, or shall I do it earlier!"
The answer is given as follow: The
best time to transfer your bees to new
hives would be about .May 15th or when
plum and apple trees are in blossom.
But as you wish all the increase you
ca l get, in your ease I would let them
swarm twice apiece before transferrins
Thus you would have two fine swarms
which would be in hives you wit-h and
could be given supers and would both
yield a surplus. Those you v ih to
transfer can be made to swarm earlier
than others by not putting on any sup
ers, but confine them below. Then as
soon as a swarm issues, hive it, and set
it on a new stand. Then in from nine
to 13 day the same stock will chs-I a
tecond swarm, which will have a joun-j
queen. As toon as out remove the old
hive to another stand two rods or so
away, hive the second swarm in new
hive and set it just where the old hive
stood.
Let the old hive set on a new location
until the twenty-first dy from the time
the first swarm wont out of it, at which
time there will be a nicecolony of yonns
bees hatched, with a young queen ju.'t
commencing to lay. All brood egus and
larvae will now be hatched into bees
and combs will le noarlv empty of
honey. Then proceed to transfer them
first setting the old hire off its stand,
placing a new one in its place. Hai-n?
the combs one by one, shaking the bets
into the new hive. Then cut and tit the
combs to fit the new frames, leaving out
most all drone comb. Then dump and
brush all bees down in front of new Imp
when they will go in and soon build uj
to a full colony. Melt up the trimmings

SECRETS WOMEN KEEP AT THE
PRICE OF SUFFERING.
A woman usually passes through sev
eral stages on her way to that condition
of semi-iuvalidism which limits the ac
tivities of so many of her sex. For a
time she suffers in silence and ignor
ance, not able to relate her sufferings to
their proper cause womanly disease.
When, presently, she makes the discov
ery that her general health is related to
the local womanly health, she casts
about for help. She dislikes to see the
physician, she shrinks from talking to a
stranger of the intimate matters of her
woman's life, and when at last misery
drives her to the elector, her modesty is
up in arms at the faintest hint of exam
ination, aud she finds excuse to put the
matter off and goes home to endure
another period of suffering.
It would seem a strange thing if the
sacrifice of modestv were necessary to
! the restoration of wotn.-uilv health.
Such a sacrifice is not necessary. Wom
en suffering from womanly ailments in
almost all stages have found a perfect
and permanent cure by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
A FREE OFFER.
To those women who suffer from dis
ease in chronic form. Dr. Pierce offers
the privilege of free consultation by let
ter, thus avoiding the unpleasant ques
tionings, indelicate examinations and
obnoxious local treatments deemed nec
essary by some local physicians. All
correspondence held as strictlv private
anil sacredlv confidential. Address D"
R. V. Merce. lluffUlo, N. Y.
This offer of free consultation by letter
should not be confused with offers of
"free medical advice" which arc made
by persons without medical knowledge or
exjerience, anil who are barred, legally
and professionally, from the practice of
medicine. Though these people cannot
practice medicine, because the law would
be prompt to punish them, thev can of
fer free medical advice." Aiiyfody can
give advice without incurring the pen
alty of the law. It is well to rcinemter,
that the "medical" advice of an unquali
fied person, man or woman, is worse
than worthless; it is absolutely danger
ou. As chief consulting phvsician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Iierce. assisted by
his staff of nearly a score of physicians,
has, in a little more than thirty years,
