Ervin, and find him in good health and perfectly fertile, and should be a good foal getter. Signed H. J. KANNAL, M. D. C. RAISE MULES. O. J. Kenton’s, of near Surrey, reputation for keeping the best individual and collective lot of stallions and jacks is well known. The best evidence of this Is the get. Mr. Kenton has the best lot of colts and young mules to be seen in Jasper county. One pair of mules, coming four years old, which had never been harnessed, sold for $425 last winter and 10 less than a year brought SI,OOO. A few more choice mares will be served this season From Kentucky Morgan 4717, a beautiful chestnut, and Richmond Squirrel, a stylish, rich brown Kentucky roadster, Marcus, a dark brown 1800 pound Belgian, James Madison No. 287 and Henry Clay a 16-hand jack, make a combination that can not be equaled any where in northern Indiana. Nothing raised on the farm can show a profit equal to Mr. Kenton’s mules, sales of which are mentioned above. Horsemen and farmers will profit by noting these facts.

FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN

BY F.E.TRIGG

Virtually the entire acreage of orange trees growing today on the Pacific slope came fron/a slip of a navel orange tree imported from Brasil some twenty years ago. The fellow who will tolerate a forty dollar sire In his herd of beef or dairy cows may be properly styled an agricultural stand patter of a very hope* less and sorry type. Scrub sires are quite likely to be found on the farm of the fellow who trusts Providence for a stand of seed corn and plants his potatoes by a certain phase of the moon. The peach crop of the country has suffered its regular annual freeze and extinction—in the columns of the dally press. Packing time will have to be relied on to give an accurate status of the situation.

Never before have oranges been so plentiful and so fine both from the standpoint of quality and size as they are this year. They have been especially enjoyed because apples have been both poor and scarce. If a field counted on for the growing of corn is considerably below standard In point of fertility It will quite likely produce a larger crop of corn from an average stand of two than from a stand of three or four kernels to the hill. ——• A treat that the family of the country resident will enjoy when they come to town Is once In awhile a dinner at the hotel or attending an interesting and wholesome play. Many take advantage of such opportunities, but many more do not Those who have kept close track of the number of field mice, gophers and rabbits devoured by the average “hen" hawk have estimated its cash value to the farmer at $lO per annum. In view of these figures there is certainly no money in killing this bird. • 4 ” Tbe department of horticulture at the University of Wisconsin has In the greenhouse a banana tree which has this year come into fruitage and borne and ripened a large bunch of bananas. This is tbe first time that this has occurred at a point so far north. In estimating the total returns from his farm during the year the owner ought not to overlook the living which he and hiWamily have had from it in the course of the year, an item which In the expense account of the fellow In town runs all tbe way from $250 to S6OO. An eastern experiment station which has tested various kinds of feed for work horses reports that one of the most effective and nutritive rations is composed of a hundred pounds of cornmeal, a hundred pounds of ground oats and fifty [founds of wheat middlings.

The verdict of those who have made a close study of the habits of the common ground mole is that tbe damage It does in ridging up the soil in garden or on lawn is more than atoned for by its destruction of the common white grub, which constitutes Its chief article of food. It Is the mice which sometimes follow In tbe burrow of the mole which do damage to the roots of plants and shrubs. \

Luxuriance of growth in the common garden flowers may be to some extent Influenced by tbe vigor and. thriftiness of the parent stock, but is quite likely to be more largely determined by the richness of the soil in which the seed is sown or the plants are set A rich soli, coupled with abundant moisture and that degree of sunshine or shade which the particular variety seems to demand, will produce ths desired results.

With a view to Increasing Its stock of game birds, Kansas is nndertaking the experiment of Introducing Hungarian partridges, ten pairs of which species having been recently turned loose on a ranch near Cottonwood Falls. These birds resemble the common quail of Kansas, but are larger, being about two-thlrds the size of prairie chickens. It is believed that the new* birds can be successfully propagated under conditions which prevail tn the state.

In some of their ways dogs are not unlike the human species. The instances are comparatively frequent where dogs that are models of propriety and good behavior In the daytime will, under cover of darkness, when the folks on the place are abed, range over the country for miles around, raiding sheep herds, chasing cattle and horses in pasture, raising the deuce generally and seemlug to show an instinctive belief in the fallaty that they are not going to lose Handing and reputation for that which they do In the dark.

A PROFITABLE TIMBER LOT.

In these days, when so much is being ■aid and written about the wisdom of the federal government’s policy of forest preservation and when farmers in the agricultural states are being urged to set out timber lots, one of the first questions that come to tbe mind of one who is debating tbe wisdom of the proposal is, “Does it pay?” With a view to citing a case which may in part answer this query we give below the figures on the returns from an acre and a quarter wood lot belonging to a friend living near by. Tbe tract In question is a piece of native timber, in which the oaks—white, black and jack —predominate. The lot in question has lately been cleared, and our friend tells us that in addition to having got twenty cords of firewood from this lot during the past seventeen years tbe clearing of the piece has yielded a total of thirty cords of wood, worth $6 per cord, or $180; eighty-one oak posts, worth on an average 15 cents, amounting to >121.20, and seven saw logs which, it is estimated, will yield 700 feet of plank, worth $35, making the total receipts from the acre $336.50. Deducting from this 1% cents for making the posts, $1 a cord for cutting the wood, $18.50 for clearing the land and $5 for sawing the plank, there is left a net return from the acre of $265.60. While the showing here given may be better than the average, it indicates what may be done with a natural wood lot when rightly managed. When the trees in the wood lot have attained a size where their development Is very slow and are at a point where the process of decline and decay has already or will soon set in, they may very properly be termed ripe and should be removed so as to make room and give light and air for smaller trees that may be growing up around them. The wood lot should be inspected every year with the above thought in mind. SPRAYING FRUIT CROPS. A co-operative spraying experiment will be carried on In the writer’s orchard this year in connection with the horticultural department of the state experiment station. The results of the spraying which has been done In the orchard during the past two years have been so pronounced that the subject of its being worth while is no longer open to debate. The writer would place tbe value of the spraying last year at close to SBOO, while the spraying materials and operations did not cost over $l4O. With both gardener and horticulturist a nice margin of profit can often be se cured above ruling market prices by raising that which Is of extra quality. This Is what spraylng does for the apple or other fruit crop. Indeed, In many markets fruit that has not been sprayed is classed as cull stuff and is not wanted at any price. Last year’s experience seems to point out one or two things that may be worth mentioning. One Is that two thorough treatments before the blossom clusters open are advisable, serving to hold the apple scab in check in very effective manner. Another Is that special pains should be taken to make the treatment which is given just after the blossoms fall as thorough as possible. It is at this time If at all that the poison contained In the spraying solution is deposited in the little calyx cup or blossom end of the apple, where it Is estimated that 80 per cent of the eggs of the codling moth are laid. The burning of the foliage which was noticed to some extent last season seems to have been due to the fact that there is too much of the arsenate In the solution or that the mixture was not kept stirred as thoroughly as it ought to have been while the spraying was being done. These are two additional points that will be watched somewhat more closely this year. THE BEST BREED. The question is often asked, “Which is the best breed of fowls?” and quite as often an attempt Is made to give a definite answer and name the “best” breed. However, if any individual instance of success with poultry were to be Investigated the fact would quite likely be developed that It was the kind of man and the care he save his flock rather than the variety of fowls kept that should really be credited with the success achieved. A first class man can make good money out of scrubs, while a scrub poultryman would have hard scratching to succeed with the best breed of fowls on earth. The best combination Is a careful man and good attention coupled with one of tbe commonly accepted “good” breeds. If’good layers are wanted the Leghorns. Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds cannot be excelled; If a general purpose fowl is desired tbe Plymouth Rock and Wyandotte are all right, while if a heavier and more easily confined breed is wanted the Brahmas or Cochins will fill the bill. WAIT TILL FROST IS OUT. A good deal of risk is involved In purchasing a farm in a section of the country with which one Is not acquainted In the winter months and especially If the ground is covered with snow. We heard of a chap not long ago who was on the point of buying a farm under just such circumstances and at a price which he considered a rare bargain. On some one’s suggestion he waited until spring, then made a final inspection of the land and found that It was but little better than a spongy bog, the native haunt of bobolinks and bullfrogs. This experience taught him a lesson, and the next time he sized his prospective purchase up when vegetation was in growth.
