5000 Sheep Killed bj Dogs.
Notwithstanding the increased
number of dogs killed in the ag
ricultural counties the slaughter
of sheep by dogs made a substan
tial increase during 1915 over the
previous year, Mad dogs also
gathered in a larger toll of hors
es, mules, cattle and swine than
the year before, according to
statistical table just prepared by
the State department of agricul
ture.
Deaths of 5,808 sheep during
1915 are attributed to dogs, the
number killed in 1914 being 5,
187. The number of injured
sheep is fixed at 4, 764 an increase
of nearly a thousand over the
year before.
The average price paid owners
for the dead sheep was $6.60 and
for injured sheep $2.87. This is
a slight reduction of the cost of
the previous year. The total
amount paid for 1915 was $53,
yby gain oi about sy.uuu over
1914. Dog tax collected for the
year was $135,278 or $12,000 less
than was collected the year be
fore. More than $3,000 was ex
pended for killing 3,384 dogs.

Everybody looks to see what
somebody has lost found, has to
sell, or wants to buy, just as a
matter of curiosity, with the re
sult that a purchaser is found
for what you have to sell, and
somebody wants what you have
no need for. It often makes a

W. EnBEATTY, 1857 N. 13th St
Philadelphia, Pa. I look with
eager anticipation each week for
the coming of the Fulton Coun
TY News. It gives me a record
of the happenings thatl would not

Dow to Tell If Froit Buds Are Good.
many persons are asking at
this time of year if the fruit buds
are injured and have appealed to
Zoologist H. A. Surface, of the
Department of Agriculture for
information. Professor Surface
says that it is an easy matter for
any interested person to answer
the question for himself accord
ing to the locality in which he
may live, as the killing of fruit
buds this year is decidedly local.
in some portions of a county
practically all of the peach buds
may be dead, and in other por
tions of the same county most of
them may be alive at the present
time. What may answer for one
region may not be true of anoth
er. By personal examination the
facts can be learned with ease.
There is a mistake in the popu
tar notion that it is possible to
tell the condition of all fruit buds
at this time of year. The poasl
bility of diagnosis applies only to
the buds of the stone fruits, or
peaches plums and cherries. Of
these varieties the fruit buds are
very large and rounded, and the
leaf buds are small and pointed.
By cutting across the large round
ana conspicuous iruit buds it is
possible to see if the centre i3
green or brown. If green; it is
certain. that the bud is all right;
but if brown, it is dead. The
proper way to do is to examine
the buds of different twigs on
the same tree, and on trees in
different portions of the orchard.
Keep a record of the number ex
amined, the number good and
the number dead. When one
hundred have been examined
these numbers are the equiva
ents of percentages, respective-
y, and a statement can safely be
based upon such an examination
and count
It will be found that peach
buds this year in elevated regions
where they kept cold during Jan
uary, are mostly alive; but where
it was warm during that month
and especially in lower ground,
they are killed. The crop in gen
eral this year will be very short
compared with that of last year.
There are several regions from
which reports have come to the
effect that they are entirely d&
stroyed, while from other locali
ties reports that there Is only a
small percentage alive.
It is not possible to diagnose
anything concerning the pros
pects for the pome fruits, or ap
pie, pear and quince, at this time
of year. Quince buds form only
on new. wood, and consequently
are not to be seen now. The on-
y thing that the apple and pear
grower can tell by an examida
tion of his buds at present is as
to whether fruit buds or good
ruit spurs were formed in abun
dance last fall. They are not
iable to be injured by winter.
freezing. It is the spring frost
about the time of blooming that
causes the trouble with these
fruits.
