I havo often thought how pleasant it would

Indulged In two audi visits, one to friend
Drury's flno farm in this country, and ono to
frend Hpaulding's model and premium nur

,and I enjoyed it.

central parts of it thoroughly undcrdraincd,

and well grown fruit trees and miricry stock

last as possible
What magia had produced this beautiful
sight? That was precisely what I went up to
Jaam; to aco and to know. flood drained soil,
girdling, lime, salt and an army crops of MX)
young turkeys, ' perpetually on tho inarch in
their different battalions, and tlio warbling
light armed troops skipping and singing among
tho branches there toll the wholo story; they,
wero at once causo.'and guard of all, though
all these, 'the united head, heart and brain of
of tlio family selected, created and controlled,'
tho proprietor's brain by common consent,
ever licing tho leading element.
It was tho girdling in wltVsh I was most In-
tcfesUd, for siity years ago on my father's
'farm in Massachusetts, I girdled fruit trees in
the aaino way, and I havo dona It occasionally
to truant trees and vines over since. Ho when
I read in Downing's most admirable book that
girdling endangered, tlio life and health of a
tree I knew that thero, great Homer napped
for a moment, and only repeated what others
had told him, a inero hereditary dogma, for in
sixty years I never knew a branch or a tree
killed or injured by it. My recent way of
'doing It Is to tako a wido set saw and saw
circlo carefully clean down to the wood all
round tho trunk of the tree. Mr, Spauldiug
takes out from a quarter to n half an Inch in
June with a knife, which take loiupr, and I
think is no better, if as good.
,1 have pear trees and applo trees now so
c girdled a year ago, now on my place loaded
with fruit, which nover lioro a puck beore,
though somo of them were ten or twelvu
IneliM through. Hut friend Spauldiug has
'literally thousands of young trees not ten
feet high, with all the branches lending down
with tho finest fmit I havo ever seen, for
among his 14,000 trees ho girdled 3,000 lost
ivear. His experiment Is thorough demon
stratlon beyond all doubt, for in some cases
whole rows are girdled, and wbolo rows skip,
pod, in other cases only every other tree in
raoh row is Ukon of tho aamo aort of apple
Jplanted at the same time, In every case tho
young girdled trees are loaded with the finest
fruit, while tho ungirdlod ones lit the same
row or ail Joining rows have nono on them.
' Hut will not trees so treated bear them,
'selves to tleatht Certainly they will If not
austaiuodi when they have worked up into
good fruit, all the fruit food thero is iu tho
soil, be it more or leas they of course can do
io more, unless new fmit food is supplied.
Hence a young orchard should never be set
where an old one has been. Hut tho man
who sets the trees may as well use up that
amount cl fruit food which Is In the soil while
be is alivo and can eat the fruit perhaps, as to
set out the tree and leavo it to his grandchil
dren to oat the fruit. I now have agridled
Lawrence and one Winter Neliepear full of
fruit, which I have no reason to think would
havo liorn a dozen pears in ten years If they
had not been girdled, and one green Pippin
apple a foot through full r.f fruit that has not
before, lorno a peck in ten years of equally
sound frujL. lUIJes an apple tree thirty or
forty years old away up in tho air, seldom
bears any fruit worth gathering, and it coats
twice as much at least to gather it as it docs
from low young trees, and if our apple trees

are not they are not girdled this summer, or

in Juue. I think this practicowill practically
double the profit of ourorchards to theprvteut

Mr. Bpaulding has on hand a car load of
lime and and a car load of salt and proposes
to get a quantity of copperas to keep up tho
tone and vigor of his apple and pear trees
under this wholly unprecedented strain of
fruit production) but as his apples are not
only more abundant, but much larger, fairer,
higher colored, better flavored and sell moro
readily than common apples of the tame sort,
ho can very well aflbrd to feed them as he
docs his workmen on tho best the land affords.
Why cannot others aflbrd to do tho same, and
make their trees twice as profitable to them
as they ever were before. I should havo said
that Jo demontrate fully that thero is no
danger of hurtimr the trees, by girdling in
June, ho has irinlled somo at all widths, tak
ing out all round tho trco strips of bark from
one-quarter of an' inch to twclvo inches wide,
and new bark readily formed and not a single
tree among tho thousands is injured, only tho
sap is temporarily checked, compelling tho
setting and retention of tho fruit buds and

enemies or rnurr m California.
Wo take from tlio agricultural department
of tho Sacramento Record-Union, tho follow
ing editorial concerning enemies of fruit in
thst State, which will be Interesting to Oregon
fruit growers, as showing tho enemies we
may havo to encounter as wo progress,
though it is possibla that our damp climate
may bo somo protection from such enemies as
wo read of, at least in part. Tho Record
Union says i
The insects destructive to fruits in this State
aro doing greater damago this year than evor
before. Their ravages aro becoming a very
serious and alarming matter, not only to fruit
growers but fruit consumers as well. It is in
truth a matter that affect one of tho hereto
fore most promising productive industries of
tho Stato, and calls for something moro than a
passing notice. California has been looming up
for tlio past ten or fifteen years as tho wonder
of tlio world in fruit growing, and as tho
sourco from whonco largo portions of tho
world must draw their fruit supply. Until
within a few years wo wero exempt from all
tho drawbacks that had visited other fruit
producing countries) but now that tho com
mon fruit enemies have mado their appear
ance among us they aro Increasing so rapidly
and making such serious Inroads upon tho
amount of fruit produced, as to raiso serious
questions as to tho future of the business.
Large) fruit growers are talking seriously of
abandoning th'e applo altogether, to try in this
way tostarvoout tho codling moth, so that
tho pear may lie spared. This proposition is
based ipon tho theory that tho applo is nec
essary to. tho continued existence of tho moth
that white tho larvrn of the moth docs great
lamao to the pear as well as tho antU. the
Insect" would.dln If tho applo wero not found
as a breeding harbor. ' Whilo wo bolicvo tho
applo Is the, tnoro' acceptable fruit for the
worm to hatch out and live In, wo bellevo that
a mcro rooting up or destroying of the apple
would not save? the pear, but that the' whole
dostructivo energies of the Insect, would be
directed to tho pear In tho absenco of tho
apple, and thus lioth would le destroyed.
Auother proposition is to havo all tho pears
and apples stripped from tke treos by a gen
eral understanding and perhaps by a law, to
that ellect, for one year leaving tho trees to
grow one year without fruit. This proposi
tion is mado upon tho theory tlmt the apples
and pears aro a necessity to tho breeding and
propagation of the worm, and that depriving
them of food for one year would 'atarvo them
all out and got rid of them until again intro
duced. Wo havo but llttlo doubt that if all
the pears and apples in the State could bo
destroyed for any ono year that tho worms
would thereby bo greatly reduced iu numbers.
Hut does any ono know that tho worm lirveds
in and lives upon no other product besides
apples and pears?
Would it not bo better to study tho habits
of the insect a little moro closely beforo en
tering upon so great a sacrifice as the destruc
tion of all the applu trees on the one hand, or
all tho apples and pears for one year on the
other? One thing Is certain, and wo believe
all thoughtful and practical fruit growers agree
on tills, that tho worms must bo destroyed, or
they will destroy the apples and pears. Hnt
whilo the fruit producers in this section of the
State aro so absorbed iu tho destruction of
tho codling moth, iu other sections of tho
Stato they are wrestling with other equally
threatening fruit enemies. In San Jose, fur
Instance, tho apple scale insect is mining large
and valuablo orchards. M a meeting of the
fruit growers of that city a few days since.

man said he had been making experiments.
His first experiment was an unsuccessful one.
He selected one acre of infested trees and
used on them a wash composed of lime, whate
oil, ykrone and concentrated' lye, but with
out efioct. He next made a mixture of gase
line, whale oil and lye, and applied it with a
brush. His neighbors followed the example,
and wherever this wash was applied tho scales
and bugs disappeared, Tho proportions of
tho compound wero as follows) About one
can of conoentratol lye, one pint of gasoline
and one pint of oil, Tho application was
made In June, Ho said something was needed
to cat the scale, and tho gasoline did this, lof

The codling moth is an old enemy, and many
remedies have been suggested and tried with
moro or less effect, but to completely get rid
of It will provo a very difficult matter. It is
not so easily found and cannot bo so surely at
tacked and routed as tho various kinds of
scale-bugs, becauso it is in ono stage a flying
insect. It can, however, bo pretty well kept
down by adapting tho remedial work to tho
habits of tho worm, by wrapping tho stems of
orchard trees with paper-traps in tho'springof
tho year to prevent the worms from ascending,
by scraping the rough bark from the trees and
applying a wash of whale-oil, soap and sul
phur, and by destroying tho wormy fruit as it
falls from tho trees and beforo tho worms
leavo it.

Moro than forty years ogo, writes a Cnna
dlan gentlemen to tlio New York Kvculng
Post, my father's clearing, near what is now
tho city of Guclph, was surrounded for many
miles by an almost unbroken forest, whero

tho herd. Morning found tho cows near

tho oxen with them. "With many a weary
step and many a groan" has tho writer hunted
tho sly absentees and found them uiually in
somo dense thicket on the edgo of an inter
minablo swamp. On Sunday mornings they
camo home with tho cows and lay down in tho
barnyard with tho calm confidence born of a
clear consclenco and assured rest. On six
mornings in the week they almost always hid
themselves) on the soventh they returned
with tho herd, How did they know the
Chnstaln day of rest except by actual count
of the intervening days?

visit tho homo of hcr'calthood, Daisy led tho
child a weary nightwalk through (twain p and

and tho next morning waa safely landed at
the shanty of Daisy's former owner, having

Brittle Hoofs In Hones.
The quality of hoofs is transmitted a cer
tainly as the color or toxturo of the hair or
wool. Though tho Belgian or Clydesdale
horso is modified by breeding in a drier cli
matc,yet the transition is slow, and for several
generations tho large, flat foot of the first be
trays its ancestry, as do tho still compara
tively shaggy limbs of tho second. Similarly,
tho Arabian bred in Kngland, Fr,ini "
America, retains tho small, narrow, tough, iv
sis tan t foot of its Eastern ancestors, and by
no sort of external conditions can it bo trans
formed into tho conformation of tho heavy,
loosc-toxturo cart horso. Tho Arabian foot
remains a characteristic of tho breed on the
plains of Hindoitan, in tho damp meadows of
Holland, on tho heavy clays of Kngland, on
tho prairies of America, or on tho grassy
ranges of Australia. It loses something of
its nativo rloicncse of toxturo and its extra
ordinary powers of resistance, but tho form is
retained, together with a compactness anil
strength which ever characterize, tho raco.
So it is with other breeds and with families.
Thoso features of strength or weakness of tho
feet which havo doubtless originated in the
continued influenco of centuries or eras of
special conditions of soil, food, climate, etc.,
are perpetuated for centuries more, in spite of
tlio constant operation of other and diverso
influences calculated to counteract and modi
fy such fcatnrcs. And what is truo of tho
raco and family, is truo, to n largo extent, of
tho parent and offspring. It must bo within
tho experience of many readers that a siro or
dam that has suffered from inflammation of
tho feet, which has left thoin permanently
tender, ha afterward produced foals with
weak or brittle hoofs, or with n special tend
ency to founder. In comparing, therefore,
tho marvelous toughness of tho Arabian foot
with tho open tcxturo and brittlcncss of that
of tho cart horse, wo must bear in, mind that
much of tho difference is tho product of eras
of climates of two very different kinds affect
ing tho progenitors of these different stocks.
Similarly, when wo find two horses of tho
samo raco with hoofs that aro far different in
character and strength, though they may havo
hecn raised together, and though their imme
diate ancestors may havo been closely related,
or even. identical, wo must not nlways look for
tho causes of tho variation in the animals
themselves, but wo may find that a loss of
health, n lack of exercise, an impcrftct nour
ishment, or, abovo all, an inflammatory or
other discoso of tho feet, bos befallen tho siro
or dam before tho timo when it produced the
weakened progeny. (National Livo-Stock
Journal, Chicago,
i Feed Calves liberally.
Wo havo often attempted to impress upon
our readers tho fact that it is only from the
extra food that any growth can bo mule. For
if tho calf only gets food enough to support
its present condition, it must remain without
growth', and tho food it cats I wholly lost,
and perhaps worse than lost, for tho calf can
not remain stationary without Incoming un
thrifty, and this unthrifty condition will
greatly interfere with its futuro growth.
Kvcry consideration therefore requires that
calves should not bo permitted to remain sta
tionary, but should keep up a steady, thrifty
growth throughout tho seasou, This is what
some skillful, practiccl feeder mean when
they say that calves should never bo permitted
to lose their calf flesh i and if this can be pre
vented they will continue to make a profita
ble growth till fitted for mirkct. There is no
feed given to a calf during it whole life that
will pay a better profit than this extra food
wo have advised to lie given during the first
season. Tho feeder cannot afford to bo illib
eral iu feetling his calveshi only profit do
pcuds upon his liberality. Llvo-S tock Jour
