Perhaps the best protection against irdling of fruit trees by mice and abbits is obtained by using a thin I rooden veneer wrapper which has een soaked to keep it from breaking. I hen bent around the tree and held a place by a single wire about the riddle, writes C. C. Wiggans in Mis ouri Valley Farmer. The wire stays a place better if passed through a pole near the outer edge of the veneer a Trapper. The wrapper should be t gushed down into the earth so mice annot burrow under it, or they may a e shut out by heaping soil up around g he bottom of the case and tramping it 8 trm. Coiled screen wire may be used t a much the same way, but it is more xpensive. The veneer wrappers do t tot usually cost more than half or t; hree-quarters of a cent apiece, and a an be secured from any orchard sup- b ply house. b Bunches of long grass, or split corn , talks, may give good protection a .gainst rabbits, but fail to keep mice rom doing harm. Newspapers or tar c gaper wrapped around the tree trunk , ave been successfully used by many irchardists. t Paint and washes do not give good a esults, as the rabbits sometimes seem L o attack the washed trees more than he untreated ones. Damage from mice should be avoid d by the removal of all loose, trashy aterial from the neighborhood of the ase of the tree trunk. If the ground as been fall plowed, the under furrow lice has good nesting places for mice nd the nearby trees are likely to suf er, but if the ground near the tree is lean and well compacted little dam ge will be done by these rodents. )TANDARD OR DWARF TREES lanter Will Be Governed in Selection by Object to Be Attained-Soil Also Is Factor. Strong, well-rooted, one-year-old rees are preferable to any other age, hether standard or dwarf. As to the selection of standard or lwarf trees, every planter will be gov Anjou Pear. arned by the object to be attained. If ~arly fruitfulness Is desired, dwarfs .re preferable; but It should be borne n mind that such trees are usually1 horter lived and seldom attain large t ize. For these reasons they are bet e; adapted to small Iota or to garden I rrposes. Some varieties, such, for L.1 itance, as Anjou, Angouleme, Diel, Louise Pear. .ouise, etc., do better on the quince 'oot than on the pear stock. On the other hand, if longevity of ree, larger size, and capacity fo? ro-] ucing heavier crops are desired, tandards should be planted. It is rell also to consider the character of he soil in the location selected as to idaptability of class desired.

PERIGI OF ALLI& DICKSON'S Dl 'PHONE US Favorite I HOW TO MAKE GRAFTING WAX Rosin, Beeswax and Tallow Are Nec essary Three Ingredients-Should ie Melted Slowly. There are three ingredients in the best grafting wax for use in out-door work: rosin, beeswax and tallow. The proportions (by weight) are rosin four parts, beeswax two parts, tallow -ne part; in all, seven ounces or pounds. They are to be melted slowly, in an iron vessel, putting in the rosin ten minutes or so before the beeswax and tallow. Then all.well mixed together -by much and careful stirring. When thoroughly mixed (in twenty or thirty minutes) a convenient por tion Is poured into a bucket contaiuing cold water. In a short time-rather less than a minute-it will be cool I enough to be lifted out by the hands and pulled like taffy. The hand., of course, must have been greased with tallow, to prevent sticking. When it becones light yellow by pulling it is ready to be mad.e into short rolls, three or four inches 'ang and an inch thick, and placed in another vessel of cold water, to harden. Additional portions of the melted wax can be put through the same operation until all is used up. The sticks, when sticiently hardened, can be put away until required in grafting. This wax will ifot crack on the grafts, nor will it melt and run down in the hot sunshine: In using it, if the weather is cool, it will need to lie in water that Is moderately warm, In warm weather, cool water may be necessary. In lifting it out of the -a ter it will be best to shake off as mii of the moisture as possible. BEST SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS Prepare Holes Large Enough In Plant . Ing That Roots May Spread Out Without Cramping. Have the soil deeply plowed or spaded and prepare it as soon as the plants are ordered. Have the holgs large- enough so the roots may be well spread out without any cramping or twisting. If there should be any delay be tween time of receiving plants and putting them oat, bury the roots in moist coil-the heeling-in process. Remember that if these bushes and plants are to make any returns the ground must be kept well cultivated and moist and fertilized, and the bushe3 themselves be yearly pruned; after the first year this pruning should be raf.her severe.

Everybody has a way of doing things nd this is my way of taking care of he calves. I have ten good cows which I raised iyself, and I found out that to raise ood cows you must begin at the be inning. No good results will come rom a half-starved, stunted calf. I let the calf suck the cow the first wo days. It is better for it and he mother, too, and the calf is more pt to get all the milk than I would e, thus getting it out of the cow's ag and into the calf's stomach, rhere it should be, with less trouble nd better results. At the end of this time I milk the ow and feed the calf; tie the calf rhere it cannot see its mother, and t the weather is cold I wrap some hing around it when the barn doors re open. Never allow a calf to shiver I you want it to keep well. For the first two weeks I feed new ailk as soon as milked, and then I egin to mix in separated milk by de being Groomed for Head of Dairy Herd. ;ees, adding at first a third, then a alf and when a month old I give all separated and take care to have ii !arm. Buckwheat shorts and bran are ;ood, but never put them in the milk. ave a small box nailed in a conven ent place on the manger or side of the al and fill with dry feed. The call sill soon learn to help itself. When six weeks old put clover hay rithin reach; this will aid the diges ion and increase growth. I eggs are plenty break one or twc the milk, and you will be surprised t its sleekness. TESTS OF MILK PRODUCTION ost of Feed Must Be Considered is Determining Value of Cow--Fat Content la Factor. You cannot tell by the test alone he value of a cow. It depends ai nuch on the amount of milk she gives i on the test of the milk. A cow thai 1ives 10,000 pounds of three per cen1 nilk produces 300 pounds of butterfai ad a cow that produces 6,000 pound2 f five per cent milk gives no more; me will produce as many pounds o0 mtter in a year as the other, and in tmuch as the fat content of milk is ir indication of the other milk solide resent, then the 10,000 pounds o3 ree per cent milk is worth mor' or food than the 6,000 of five per ceni nilk. Therefore one cow is as valuabli s the other from a business stand point, provided it did not cost an3 nore to keep one cow than another 1rhis third factor must therefore bi ionsidered in determining the valu( f any cow--the cost of production. aLAGE REDUCES FEED COS~i Kansas Station Conducts Test on Pro duction of Butterfat During Sum mer and Winter.
