others all of the tree inside the bark
is edible for cattle, and the branches
also are utilized in this way. We

a neighbor. Mr. linwniaii was cut
ting down a tree for the leaves, when
the t-hcep began to run after the
rhips, and so the tree was opened up
with the result, he says, that every
head of stock "went mad over i!."
Mr. liowman, .although he has no
grass, has bought DUO merino ewes
on the strength of the discovcrv.
Lambs eat it'as well as the old lice
An instance is given of a l.i-ye.i ;..
pet wether, without a tooth, growi ; ,
fat since enting the tree. Any kind
of stock will cat the wood after a
little use of it. Mr. Bowman consid
ers that it will soon be carried on
the railway at fodder rates. lie
stated that cows whruh were almost,
dry from want of condition are now
D(iluinlvjatiiil strong, but era giv
ing a good yield of milk. Bottle
trees often contnin from 80 to 10!)
tons of fodder. There are plenty of
bottle trees within easy reach of tK'
railways. Mr. How-man believes that
hundreds of stock con be saved with
it. The trees will keep for months
in the log with the bark on. The
tree is allied to the Gouty stem tree
(Adnnsonia Gregorii). being thick
ened below, tapering upwards, or
often swollen in the middle to the
extent of 30 to 40 feet in circum
ference, with an apparently small
tree growing out of its npex, so that
it has been compared to the neck
of a bottle. The gouty stem is sof-.
and porous, and contains much muci
laginous gum, which is readily ob
tained by pressure, and is used as
an article of food by the natives. It
Ii also called barrell tree.
There has always been rather a difli
rult problem in controlling increase of
bees, and also in making artificial
awai'ms or vcluuies by any method that
ill give as good returns us natural
(warms. A method that has bet n re
cently practiced to quite an extent,
seems to have come near the desired ef
fect, and swarms made on this plan
have, as a general thing, given us good
results as natural swarms. Thehonej
producer as a rule docs not want
swarms, or increase of colonies, for in
crease thus is always tit the expense
of the honey crop, writes A. II. Duff,
in Kaifeus Farmer. Hut owing to very
close attention it takes to keep down
swarming, which the apiarist has not
always time to give, especially when
he is running scvcml apiaries at dif
ferent locations, it turns out that lie
loses many good swurtus of bees in his
absence, which means a heavy loss tu
the honey crop. If he could arrange
to have all his colonies In shuiiii mi
one and the saint; day, be would not
oliject so strongly to swarms. The
plan hit upon is about the same thing.
Perhaps it isa lit t lc ahead. It is called
"shook swarms." When the hives be
come strong and Hearing 1 ho swarm
ing point, the apiarist opens thrin up
and takes out the frames and the bees
are shaken off into a new liixc, and
enough only are left in the old hive to
take care of the young brood in the
coiubs. The new liie is prepared to
receive the bees as a hive would be to
receive any swarm. The bees n re wi ll
smoked before shaking, so that tlity
are well filled with honey as in nat
ural swarming, and the colony thus
formed is composed of classes of bees
the same as a natural swarm, being
lield-workcrs, comb-builders ami nur-e
bees. They are thus left to the old
Muml to In gin work anew, and they do
it with as much t igor and in the same
businesslike manner as natural
swarms. This sat isties the bees in the
liue of swarming seemingly, the saun
as in natural swarming.

The implement dealers have organ
ized; the beef packers are following
suit; the steel producers, the sugar
milkers, the miliars, the butcher, the
baker, the candlestick maker, every
profession and every trade has its
association or its union. What are the
farmers of this country going to do
in this direction? Will they be the
last to get together for mutual pro
tection and welfare? And after every
citizen in the United States is a mem
ber of a trust, union or mutual ben
efit association, how much better off
will we be than in the old days of in
dividualism and free competition?
Let the farmers take this up before
it is too lute to do them any good ex
cept defensive. What is first needed
is a leader. Where is there a Moses?

F.xpericiicc ha demonstrated tlie
value of clover for egg producing time 1
and ngnln. Clover has jut the ina- j
terial in it to form eggshell, says the
Massachusetts riouglniian, and hence j
it becomes an essential part of every'
ration fed to the chickens. It may not
be generally understood that there are
nearly 30 pound, of lime contained in
each 1,000 pounds of clover. The chick
ens fed daily with clover will conse
quently prove belter egg-layers than
those ' tt2X''kver hay should
if I n 'ens in winter in quan
tities sJw.wUt to satisfy them, and to
make them cut more it is desirable
sometimes to prepare it ia various
ways. Cook ami chop it up, ami mix
it with meal ami other articles. This
will sometimes induce the hens to'cou
sume a great amount of clover even
day. Cut up into short lengths and
mix with warm mush ami then feed
only as fast as the chickens w ill clean
it up each tiny, in probably the must
economical way to feed t lieclovcr. Some
cut the second crop of clover and place
it in the poultry yard for the chickens
to cat and scratch over at pleasure.
This of itself is all right, but it is
rather wasteful. More than haif of
the clover will be lost, and the chicken
do not actually eat more than the
leaves. The stalks contain most of
the lime, nntl these should be prepared
SO the chickens w ill consume them. (If
nil footls that can be raised on a farm
for poultry clover is not only the best,
but probably the cheapest, and a field
of it is an essential to succi s as n
pasture field is necessary to the success
of dairying.

The outbreak of npthous fever,

the Kural New Yorker, as Uic dis

v ariii-lilo,.ilcd animals, and is known
to bi t ransuiissililc to humans under

such infection is really so rare as
not to be worth consideration. Like
mauy other plagues and pests it cam
to this country originally front
northern I'.urope. Though seldom fa
tal, apthous fever causes great loss
in reducing the llesh and vitality of
Ihe animals attacked, but particu
larly through the interference of
commerce by the rigid quarantine
needed to limit an epidemic of I hi.;
serious alTcctiou. The average los.4
of tlesli in horned cattle attacked liy
apthotiM fever is estimated at nearly
$HI each, and in dairy cnus mud
more. The disease is primarily .'.

vere about the mouth, udder ant"
feet, developing severe and extensive
blisters alumt these parts. 'Ihe
hoofs, as appendages of the skin, suf
fer great damage in neglected case-,
especially among hogs and sheep
The mo-t efficient treatment consists
mainly in the local application of an
tiseptics and should always be given
by a competent, veterinarian. The in
fiction of npthous fever appears lo
be entirely transmitted ley direct con
tact with disease products and chief
ly n fleets humans through milk from
sick animals when it may produce
dangerous irril at ion of I he intestine.
It is plain the most radical means
should be takt n lo stamp out the dis
ease on ils first appearance and lim
it outbreaks to the-smallest pos-ilile
territory, and it is in every case -fit
subject for control liy local health
boards. Apthous fever is one of :i
small group of diseases communi
cated to man by domestic animals,
among which rabies or dog madness

It Pa a to I'ae Dealra,
Every furm should have its ecalea
nnd the farmer sf ould use them. Kx
perieuce proves that in marking hay,
grain, live stocS, etc., one cannot al
ways rely on the figures he must take
from the dealer. Then, where he is
feeding stock, he is running great risk
if he does not weigh the amount of
feed put into the lot, nnd determine
the rate of gain the animals are mak
ing by weighing at leust once a week.
It pays, as many successful feeders
know, by experience, to know as soon
as a loss in the rate of gain begins. It
pays to know on what feed the ani
mals do best, nnd to figure out the
amount of profit. You cannot do this
without a pair of good scales. Mffl
luud Farmer.
Where the Prollt luuiea Ia.
If It takes 'M bushels of corn to the
acre to pay the expenses of raising a
crop, and we raise hut 20 bushels per
acre, we are not making any headway.
Hut every bushel we raise above the 20
bushel per acre is that much more to
be added to the profit side of the ledger.
And there is where the farmer or mer
chant must do his best thinking and
use hit best efforts to increase his crop

It is a matter of great importance to
know how many hens can be kept in one
pen and at a profit. There is quite a
general opinion that hens which are
allowed to roam at will or have spa
cious yards do best in flocks of 40 to 4.1.
and on being confined to winter quar
ters should have about ten square feet
for each hen. From actual tests this

has proved about right. Thry may be
confined closer, if they have a scratch
ing shed where they can run in bright
weather.
This may be made open to the son
and annexed to the hen house, and it
would be better if such shedornpurt
ment was closed with plenty of glass
on the south side. This apartment
need not be ns warm as the regular
house. Mine is of plain boards put on
up and down, and cracks battened. It
has two large windows in south, ns
ent shows, with spacious, door, which
can be left open on fine winter days,
so tho hens enjoy a good warm sun
bath. The windows should be ar
ranged with curtains to close cold
nights. Most of the feeding is done
in the scratching pens in litter of chuff
or straw. Orange Judd Farmer.
