Generally thrive best upon light, speaking, -apple to stiff clay. soil itself. ers too steep for ordinary tillage are excellent for apple orchards. deep, loamy “loess” soil along our great rivers and some of our tributa- ries and the red soils of the broken Ozark region are among the best ap- ple soils. While some of these soils are better than others, almost any farm in the state is capable of pro- ducing a good family orchard that will many times repay for the trouble und expense of growing it. Where there is opportunity’ for choice of slope, the local conditions and the varieties to be planted gov- ern somewhat the site that should be selected. Often a northern or eastern slope is to be preferred. On rocky, thin soils, the northern slopes are usually richer, and they stand the drought better than the southern slope. The buds start later on the northern slope, and are more likely to escape late spring frosts. Other things being equal, the fruit is usually higher flavored and seems to be bet- ter colored on the southern slope. Low, damp places are to be avoided. If proper attention is given to the selection of varieties, apples may be grown successfully under most any conditions, The character of the native forest trees will indicate to some extent the fitness of the land for apple trees. Where the nut trees, sugar maple, poplar, paw-paw, linn or sumac thrive apples usualy do well. The larger and finer these native trees, the bet- ter the indications for the success of apple trees. Ben Davis and Gano, two varieties that are very much alike, are the two leading commercial sorts. These two varieties are more grown in Mis- souri than all others combined. In most localities experienced growers orchard to these varieties. The trees bear heavily and the fruit ships bet: ter*than almost any other sort, and they are among the best cooking ap- ples. Their quality, however, is not the best. They are remarkably cosmo- politan, succeeding remarkably well in all parts of the state. Next to these two sorts, the Jona- than is perhaps the most popular gen- eral commercial variety. It is of the and the highest flavor. It is productive throughout the! state.

Husbandry, | University of Missouri. The care of fall lambs does not greatly differ from that of other lambs. Mother and offspring should | be kept by themselves until the lamb is strong enough to be turned with the other ewes and lambs. The ob-, ject is to grow and fatten these lambs-as rapidly as possible for the winter market, consequently they should have a grain ration as soon } as they will eat. A satisfactory grain ration consists of oats, corn and, bran, one-third each by weight, the oats be- ing crushed and the corn ground. | This should be fed by building a lamb | creep in which the grain is placed, A creep may be made by fastening | upricht boards six or eight inches | apart, as a partition between two pens, so as to admit the lambs, but not the ewes. While the lambs are on pasture dur- ing the day they will eat only a’ small amount of hay, but as soon as they are “kept up” they will consume | sonsiderable hay. This hay should | always be clean and well cured. It as a dessert fruit it is one of the best | in the state. The York is unexcelled in size, | | quality and appearance as a commer. | cial variety. In some parts of the! state it produces well. It is a splen-| did keeper and is gaining in popu-! | larity in some sections of the state. It is one of the most profitable ap- | ples to grow on the “loess” formation | along the Missouri river hills. It has the fault of .scalding somewhat if kept either too cold or too hot in storage. Grimes is an apple of fine quality, but is neither a strong grower nor a heavy bearer, except in certain local- ities. It requires a rich soil. The Mis- souri Pippin is one of the earliest to come into bearing. The fruit tends | to be small size after the first few crops. The Winesap is a variety of good color and flavor, but in some locali-, ties it lacks vigor and productiveness, The Ingram is one of the best keep- | ers and is of fair quality. It escapes | spring frosts on account of late blos- soming. It is well to bear in mind that some | of the above named varieties are; adapted to all conditions in the state, | while othérs are to be commended only for certain localities or condi- tions. Ben Davis, Gano and Jonathan are generally well adapted to all soils, slopes and conditions in the state. Winesap, Mammoth Black Twig, York and Rome Beauty succeed well on south slopes and thin land. Genet, In- gram and Rome Beauty are among the best to select for moderately low land. They blossom late and are sel- dom killed by late frosts. For a home orchard, the main plant- ing should be of the commercial vari- eties just mentioned, considering that they are usually good keepers and will supply the family needs through- | out the winter. In addition, a few trees of the earlier sorts should be included. This will give a succession of fruit from early summer until the |crops, and lambs must not be expect- | test consists of some leguminous ed to eat the coarser stems. Both | grain and hay should be changed Ire- | quently s? that no sour feed is aver | found in the troughs. | Fall lambs should never be left out of doors through the cold storms of early winter if proper gains are ex: | pected. They should be supplied with all the comforts possible in the way | of water, shelter and attention, and if these are given the results will be satisfactory and the remuneration profitable. Some farmers are harvesting only , the ears of corn and leaving the} stalks standing. In many cases these ||! stalks will be plowed under without ||! any further attention. This is. abso- ||| lute waste, and is just as bad as ||! | | throwing silver dollars into the river or lighting a fire with greenbacks, Corn fodder is valuable feed if it is properly saved, and those men who do not save it are not farming as/ profitably as they might. It is easier to keep live stock well than to doctor them ‘afterward. Good feed and careful, regular handling are large factors in the health of the ani ; mals. | Many millions of dollars are spent ; annually in reclaiming land in the | west. Missouri farmers would do well, many of them, to spend a little | energy reclaiming the waste land on their farms. Pastures grown up in |Yagweed are waste land. The strip | of weed along the fence is worse than | waste land.
