Considering how easily step ladders are made, and their small cost, it is sur prising that they are not more used in leathering fruit. The habit oi climbing all through the tree, bruising and in juring Its brandies, is the direct cause of tlie numerous sap shoots that start out wherever a branch on the trunk is bruised. There was excuse in the olden time for training fruit trees high, so that cattle and horses when pastur ing the orchard should not reach uj and gather most of the fruit prema turely. But most of the orchards late ly are trained with heads so low that a step ladder set under them, and one somewhat higher set against tbe out side of the tree, will enable the orchard- 1st to gather his fruit more easily and safely than he could going through the trees according to the old fashion.

"It has been fully demonstrated,” says Capt. C.

He put so many head in one field, and fed them freely of salt; an equal number in another field, gave no salt. Tlie cattle without put on flesh more rapidly and were ready for market several days ahead of the other bunch which had been freely salted.
