AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS ASVSE . PRUNING OF FRUIT TREES Dilize the milder days between now and spring in pruning fruit trees, is the sdvice of the county horticultural nt. There are a number of princi- ;’; which should be kept in mind, he says. Remove the dead and diseas- s wood tirst Then take out weaken- »4 and crossing branches and if the tep is still thick, take out a few more branches. The trees should carry as much wood as possible, without hav- ing the branches so thick that the fol- u..e will produce dense shade Shade | alone will kill branches, as is often seen on the lower parts of trees in 2 thick forest, he points out. Trees sheuld be kept at a moderate high in order that the spraying and pick- ing may be more conveniently done.| Apple trees, {f possible, should be kept| down to a ght of not over 18 to| 23 feet. Oftentimes this can be accom- plished by cutting out the highest part he top down to a h growing direction. the vigor Proper pruning of the tres, the size of the fruit, as well as its quality and color. In cut- ting off a hranch the rule should be to make the cut close up to the trunk or parent branch from which it grew. In no case should a stub be left, as this will dry out and decay, giving rise to a hollow trunk. Wounds two{ inches or more in diameter may well be painted to exclude the water and prevent the wood from decaying until nature has been given an opportynity to heal them over. Be careful not to overprune fruit trees, is an important caution concern- ing 2ll pruning work, No branch should be taken out unless there is a real reason for so doing. Overprun- ing tends to promote excessive vege- tative growth, delay the development of fruit buds, and delay attaining| large size and bearing capacity, FEEDING THE FLOCK THE CHEAPEST GRAINS Cofn, wheat, oats and barley are the principal grains fed to poultry; kaffir corn and buckwheat are used also, but are not so generally avail- Skin Clear Firm With Yeast Vitamon ' Concentrated Tablets Easy and Economical to Take—Results Every amazing venience You can YEAST VITAMING TABLET THE NATlONAL DRUG COMPANY NOWiCH The New Year ( wondrous health and beauty-making the vitamines in yust fresh vegetal other raw foods will concentrated yeast—Mastin's VITAMON tab- lets.

Corn and wheat are the two best grains and are about equal in value as’ poultry! better than corn, which is inclined to be fattening. Oats and barley, on ac- count of their hulls.and higher fibre content, are not so good as corn or wheat. Rye is not well relished by| fowls and is seldom fed. Wheat screen- | times may be bought to advantage, their value depending entirely upon their quality and condition, but as al rule only sound grains in good condi- tion should be fed to poultry, and moldy grains should never be used. The locally grown grains which poultry will eat freely may generally be used to the best advantage, say poultry specialists bf the United States De- partment of Agriculture. A scratch mixture, consisting of whole ar crack- ed grains made of a combination of | any two or more of those mentioned, can be fed to advantage. It is not ad- visable to feed continuously any sin- gle grain, especially corn, owing to its fattening properties. A mash made of ground grains| mill products and meat scraps should | be fed usually in addition to the! scratch mixture, Cornmeal, bran, wheat middlings, and meat scrap ! form the basis of a good mash, w! hllel corn chop, corn-andcob-meal, ground | oats and low-grade flour also may be added or substituted to advantage. Just as good results can be obtained from ! a simple mash containing three or four ground grains and meat scrap as from ; complicated mash containing | 2 products. | A large number of commercial mix- tures, both of scratch grains and of | ground grains, are prepared for poul- | try feeds, but the value of mted T r of the gr: commercial feed depends upon its com- { d in its preparation. If a poultry raiser does not produce any grain and keeps comparatively small number of fow it is oft better for him to buy commercial mixed feeds.
