ITarm and Garden SAVING GIRDLED TREES. Bridge Grafting a Remedy For Injuri Caused by Rabbits. The Injury done by rabbits to fruit trees In many orchards Is diucuHsed by J. G. Moore of the University of Win conslo In the Country Gentlenia When the girdle is only three or four inches wide tbe tree may be saved by bridge grafting. Trees with large patches of burk removed entirely around tbe trunk cannot be successful ly treated, though those not too badly Injured may be aaved by special treat ment Bridge grafting should be done I early spring, scions from healthy trees being selected. Tbe torn edges of tb wound should be cut off smooth and a badly loosened bark removed. The scion should be cut half or three-qua ters of an Inch longer than the wound and the ends of the scion pointed. The scion may then be Inserted nn der the edge of the bark, care being taken to bare tbe cut on tbe scion made rather slanting, to give conxld - erable space for It, to unite with the bark of tbe tree. Several of these scious should be put In around the tree at Intervals of not more than one and one-half Inches. On small trees, three or four scions will be sufficient It Is a good practice to paint over the wound areas with white lead, and they WOUND f flP METHOD OF Bill DOB GRAFTING.

Care should he taken however, to see that tbe twine tlml bolds the cloth Is not so tight as to gir dle the newly set scious. After the scions have become (Irmly established the clotb may be removed. The scions will continue to Increase in size, and as tbey approach each oil) er the union of one scion to the oilier may be accomplished by shaving the sides of the scions. In time the whole girdled area may be entirely healed over In this way. In gome cases bridge grafting will not be necessary. If the Inner burk bas not been removed by the rabbits the tree may be saved by Immediately protecting the girdled area before It haw had time to dry out by wrapping wlili clotb wbleb has been treated with grafting wax. Tbe Inner bark will theu form an outer bark without serl ous Injury. Where It can be used this method ts better than bridge grafting Trees on which the bark has been re moved along the sides nnd not entire ly around tbe trunk will be benellled by paiutlug the wound Hefore this Is done, however, the rough edges of the bark should be removed so us to facilitate beallng. Cabbage Cultivation. After setting out cabbage the plants require shallow, level cultivation until the crop matures. Too iniicb culti vation cannot be given and especially after every rain should the ground be thoroughly stirred. A line tooth horse cultivator is one of the most satis factory Implements for this purpose.

' It is useless to lower tbe cream rap idly to tbe churning point just before churning. It should be there at least two hours before churning. The rea son for this Is that fat Is a slow con ductor of the heat, and, although the serum bas cooled and the thermometer reads tbe rigbt temperature, tbe fat f bas not actually reached It, and the results would be tbe same as if churn RATIONS FOR THE CALF. Feeding the Youngsters Too Early May Prove Injurious. It Is well to leave tbe calf by Itsell for at least twelve hour:' and. in case tbe calf has run with Its mother for several days, possibly twrtity-four hours. Attempts to feed the calf ear Her than this usually do the calf no good and may Injure the feeder's teni per. Such is the opinion of an an thoriry on dairy matters.' If the calf's muzzle Is held In the milk and Its mom I) pried open once so that it tastes the milk it will drink without the feed er being obi fjied to place his bund In t .

At first the whole milk should be fed three times a day-four pounds In the morning, two ouiids at noon and four pound at night nt blood temperature. In about a week or ten days the calf can be fed twice dally. During this time tbe allowance of whole milk can be gradually Increased to about twelve pounds.. This amount, depends sotne- whiil on Its anility to bundle increased quantities. The stomach of the young calf Is very delicate, and all changes should be made gradually. When about two weeks the calf. If a strong, vigorous one. can be gradually changed to skim milk. During the first day decrease the amount of whole milk one pound and add one pound of sklmtnllk. and so ou each day until the change Is com plete. Previous to this the calf should have a little grain icorn or KulUr corn meal or a little mixture of hot hi placed In Its mouth Immediately after drink Ing Its milk. In this way II gels a taste of the grain and will soon go to the feed boxes and eat with a relish. After (be change to skluimllk Is com pleted the amount may be gradually Increased as fast as the calf Is able to consume It without scouring, cure must be taken not to Increase too rap idly. The calf Is a greedy animal and will appear more hungry after drink Ing Its milk than before, and If given too much It will soon be on the sick list. The milk fed a lion Id be weighed or measured at each feeding. Our ex perlence bas been that a calf three to five weeks of age enn be fed from ten to twelve pounds dally, from seven to Ipht weeks old fourteen to sixteen pounds, and when three to five months of age can bp fed eighteen to twenty pounds of milk. The milk should al ways he fed warm nnd sweet. as coTjijii reo. wrrn tne aaraniuges. j ne cellar walls should have concrete foot ings, and the walla themselves should be laid In cement mortar.

"Uat boles may be permanently closed with a mixture of cement, sand and broken glass or sharp bits of crockery or stone. The space between the sheathing and lath to tbe height of about a foot should be filled with concrete. "Granaries, corncrlbs and poultry bouses may be made rat proof by a liberal use of concrete In the founda tions and floors. For a rat proof crib a well drained site should be chosen The outer walls, laid In cement, should be sunk about twenty Inches Into the ground. The space within the walls should be thoroughly grouted with ce ment and broken stone and (lulsht'l with rich concrete for a floor. Upon this the structure may be built.

This occurs soon after the blossoming period and when the plants are forming tubers rapidly, the Inroads made by the early blight at this time being very disastrous. This fungus docs not attack the tubers directly. however, and never causes them to rot. The appearance of the leaves affect ed by this early blight is shown In the Illustration. Irrigation Experiment With Onions. Comparative tests of the furrow and flooding methods of Irrigation ut the Texas experiment station resulted In estimated gains In yields per acre by the flooding method of 4,200 to 7,000 pounds of onions. Tbe increased yields secured from Irrigation as compared with dry culture Indicate that Irriga tion Is profitable even In seasons when the rainfall Is sufficient to produce n good crop. American Agriculturist Useful to Follow Another or Replace One That Haa Been Destroyed. When a catch crop becomes neces sary one of the first that is thought ot is millet This crop does not have a high feeding value, as it is apparently too rich in oil. At the same time It Is Very useful to follow n inn I o l ; rop oi as a catch crop to replace one lluil b.i; been destroyed It matures iui'kl. and. In coiiiliiuafloii with oilier feeds has tin undoubted value. There are ninny varieties, ntul in gen eral 'hese varieties consiliiiie one oi the uiosl important groups ot food plants, us they are the staple diet oi ilioiil one third of tile world's Iiii.iuiu lopiilaliou In Hie old world they an grown as cereals, but in Auieriia al most entirely as forage. The true mil let is sometimes called the broom corn millet. Another variety is the fox tall millet, and still others are the burn vnrd or Japanese, the African, the Chi ii esc. the Indian mid pearl or cat tail millet. The fox tail variety -includes the German and Hungarian millets which are most commonly grovu"ln this state. For several years past there seems to have been a considerable increase In interest in millet as a pasture crop in western Kansas. When sown for such a purpose about twice the usual amount of seed should be used. As It Is a heavy feeder and draws upon the nitrogen element of the soil It is said to be hard on land. .Those soils which are best adapted for Its growth are rich In humus. Swamp lands or slough lands and muck soils whi i: can be drained so as not to be too wet are best for this crop, though It may be sue cessfully grown on clay soils which do not get too dry. Clay soils arc not good for millet be cause they lack in humus. The seed must not be sown before the ground has become warm, as they will either fail to germinate or will remain In the r-round so long that the weeds gel too great a start. If the land is rather thin more seed should be sown. II can be cither broadcasted or drilled hut in rich land a smaller quantity of seed may be used, as the plants will till better. Kansas Farmer.
