DOMESTIC WATER FOWL. Raielaat at Geaa aaa Daeks, Wfcoa I ctaatiaeaiir , rr c rraau. - " . f I In bo line of poultry raising c there be more prolt taa la the handling of geese an4 ducks. They lare Terj herd aaturslry, and adept themselves to almost any condition ff elhnate, and thua give large ad vantage for thetr aucccaaful breed lag over the ordinary farmyard fowls, j A good place for keeping water fowls is oftentimes not a good place for keeping anything else in the way W poultry. A creek bottom or the ponds of a lake or artificial ponds made for fish are well adapted for .keeping ducks and geese. It Is true that ducks and geete may be raised where there is no water for them to awim in, but this is the unnatural method of raising these fowls, and they do not do so well as where they can satisfy their natural Inclinations by a bath end a swim In pond or lske. There is always a good demand in the markets for the domestic water fowl; choice young stock alwsys bring good remunerative prices. Of course, they are in a measure sea sonable, aud this is no disadvantage to the produce it gives you time to breed and grow them. Ducks are great egg producers and are profit able in this way. They also have a vahie in their feathers, which gives them a threefold value, eggs, feath ers and meat. The goose is a great feather producer, and will always be called upon to supply this product to a greater or less extent. 'When properly prepared, it is as tonishing how many ducks and geese oan be kept on a few acres of land with good water advantages. Of course, there are drawbacks to this business, if one permits them to creep in, such as allowing loss by wild animals that incline to harbor about streams, mink, muskrats, etc. These obstacles are to be found in the poultry raising business, and must be removed. In ao Una of live stock business do you f nd a olesr, open road to success. An ever watch ful eye must be kept on the flock, to see that enemies and diseaas are warded off. and success will certain ly follow intelligent, diligent efforts. Nebraska Farmer. SOME APIARY HINTS.

Trees may be grafted at almost sny age. The grafts, see figure A, are limbs of the last year's growth on the new wood obtained from any good apple tree cut above the orig inal graft Suckers from the roots won't do. They should have at least two buds on each graft. The largest end should be cut wedge-shape and generally two grafts can be secured from each cutting. Figure B shows the end of a limb split down at the top and how the graft looks when In' position. Figure C gives an idea how the limb ap pears on the tree to be grafted and also how the two grafts appear when ready for the grafting wax. Three such grafts on a tree at proper an gles from each other, if well set, would make a pretty good-looking tree in two years' growth, so that til of the old tree above the grafted limbs may be removed. Mr. Wiswell explains that the se cret of successful grafting lies large ly in having the inner bnrk of the tree and graft come together so thst the sap will flow from the tree to the graft and also that the. wax is put on In such n manner as to keep out air and water from the splice or Joint. Two grafts are usually placed In each limb, and should both lire the poorer one may be pruned out while the stronger one with three buds will make a good stand. It is not unusual to graft into a limb two Inches across and sometimes the main tree is cut off and two grafts set in, but there is less danger of failure when grafts are put into limbs and the main tree or some of its branches are left growing until the results of the grafting are ascer tained. In grafting seedlings the tree Is eut off near the ground where the graft is set, the loss of seedlings in the nursery row being of little Im portance compnred with a tree set in an orchard. Xote. The drawing was made from an alder cutting, and while being somewhat different in appearance team the apple tree, conveys the tame idea. E. F. Barry, in Ohio Farmer. HORTICULTURAL HINTS. It Is safer to protect the trees than to hunt rabbits. A lath or wire cloth net about the trunk of the tree will keep off rabbits and also prevent sun scald. This is an opportune time to scrape off the apple orchard and give It a coat of whitewash or strong lye or both giving the lye wsh first if you mean to give both. This is an excellent time to do a lit tle practical forestry work. Go through the timber and trim up the down timber, then cut out the dead trees and remove any live ones that are interfering with the growth of others. Farmers' Voice. Crowlna Fruit on the rami.
