Ornamental Trees.
Some Possible Combluatione-Mix-
ttres of Apple and Spruce.
e ----
Nothing adds so much to the beau-
ty, a the farm suirrountSingeoer the'
deed, to the actual value a the prop-
erty as ornamental teeea judiciously
planted and properly cared or.
The general system followed has
been to conffne planting to maple and
spruce, set out separately. Sortie
very pretty effects can, bowever, be
made by combinations. One of the
40. finest things in this line the writer
has seen was noticed a few years ago
on the front of the Jebel Robinson
homestead in West Elgin. Along the
front Spies and spruce were planted
alternately, and the contrast between
the brilliant colors of the apple blos-
soms and the dark shades of the ev-
ergreens was exceedingly striking.
Equally effective; was the contrast
in Autumn with the brilliant hues of
the, frgit on one sideiand the somber
colors of adjoining trees on the
other.
Quite as good an effect may be pro-
producedby setting out Spruce and
Maples alternately, the dark green of
the former accentuating the brilliant
Imes of leaves of the latter when
the 'first touch Of frost comes. Ma-
ples, however, as pointed out by Ru-
ral New Yorker, draw heavily on the
.tertility and moisture of the soil
required by the e,vergreens, and mois-
ture will have to be provided for
the latter in the first year after
planting. The danger of suffering
tram drought may be largely over-
come by thorough cultivation for the
first year or two. In planting spruce
arrangeinents should be made for put-
ting four to six inches of good top
soil about the roots for the young
trees to feed on; and the trees
should be set low enough in the soil
to allow the bottoin limbs to about
teuch thei ground.
An exeeedingly graceful tree which
is not planted as widely ao,it should
be, is the cut leaf birch. The writer
observed a row of these in front of
an Oxford county farni last spring
that will be a thing of beauty and
joy forever to the owner.
Crops for Sheep.
The wise shepperd in planning his
crops for the year has regard to the
needs of his flock. He recognizes the
great advantage of providing not only
a variety of foods but a suceession
of succulent crops the season through.
Bulletin No. 12, "Sheep Husbandry
in Canada," published and lissued free
by the Live Stock Branch at Ottawa,
takes up this subject in a practical
and tholough manner. Under spec-
ial crops for sheep it deals with
clover, alfalfa, vetches, rape, cabbage,
turnips, mangels, corn and the sever-
al classes of grain. Each is treated
separately in regard to method or
cultivation and manner of feeding.
Dealing with vetches the bulletin
"Vetches, or • tares as they are also
called make excellent fodder for saeep,
either as a soiling.crop or as cured
hay. This crop much resembles peas
in habit of growth and requires about
the same kind of cultivation. Its
vines are more slender than eee, vines
and stand . up better when grown
with a stiff variety of oats. Vetches
are grown extensively for sheep feed
in Great Britain, and to some extent
in Canada for the same purpose. The
writer, while raising sheep, always
grew a small area of tares .with oats
for soiling the show stock,, and In cose
of a shortage of clover, vetches were
cured for hay. The crop being fine in
vine and very leafy is much relished
by sheep and constitutes a rich
diet.
"Two varieties of vetches are
grown for fodder. The common vetch
is the ohief sort cultivated, but the
hairy variety is receiving some at-
tention. The latter produces the
heavier yield, but so far the seed
having to be imported is very expen-
sive and few care to bother •with it
"The soil for vetches should be
clean, mellow, and rich, The seed
may be sown in drills or broadcasr.
A good seeding for either soiling or
hay is about three pecks of Vetches
and four pecks of oats per
acre. The vetches are ready to feed
any time after the crop comes in-
to blossom and before the seed corn-
niehces to ripen. For soiling the
crop may be hauled to racks, or be
distributed on the sod of a pasture
field as soon as cut, or it may be al-
lowed to wilt in the swath for a
few hours. Vetch hay is made in
timothy is handled. Vetehes may he
pastured by sheep, but•this is a
much the same ena,nner as clover or
wasteful • practice, as much of the
crop is destroyed by tramping."
Sheep raisers who do not already

do well to order one from the Live
Stock Commissioner at Ottawa.
Spring Care of the tram.' Team.
Spring is at hand and it is timeto
be getting ready to put in the crops.
Among other things to think of in
this connection is the matter of get-
ting the horses into condition. The
first wotk in tbe spring is the hard-
est of the year, and the horses are
the least prepared to do heavy 'work.
To be deprived of the use ofa horse
in the spring is serious, even though
the horse is not greatly depreciated
in value or lost entirely. Young hors-
es, especially,. should be broken and
given some work during the winter
and should be fed some grain. This
will toughen their shoulders and at
the same time they will have become
accuStomed t� grain and will, there-
fore, be less liable to colic, and in
every way better able to stand the ,
work.
A sudden change of food in horses
is always dangerous, hut to start a
colt in on grain, with heavy work,
that has never had either, is almost
sure to be disastrous. .A young horse
especially cannot stand heavy pulling
all day on . soft ground, unless his
shoulders are well hardened by reg-
ular work in the collar.
Here are a few suggestions which
will be well worth remembering:
When a horse is tired he is inuch
more, subject to colic. Do not change
the feed on the horse during heavy
spring work. There is mach more
danger in feeding corn or wheat than
there is in feeding oats. Water your
horses when you first bring them in
from the field; then let them eat hay
for a half hour, and give them their
grain last. Pull their shoes oft while
doing the spring work. .
• Remember, .the horse Will have a
heavy cciat of hair, and will; there-
fore, sweat easilyand be all•the more
likely to: catch cold and get pneu-
monia. For the first week or two
bathe the, neek and :shoulders with
cold water every night and after the
day's work. is done.' See that the cors
lar fits snug and that the. hames are
buckled up tight. The shoulders ; are
less likely ..to be scalded and btu:is:el
without a pad thee with one. If the
horse gets sweenied, he will have . to
be laid off for several months. Guard
against that datigerems elisease-azo-
turia. This disease almoet invariably
comes on after the. horse his beeri
resting two or three days :during a
storm and kept on full feed. Reduce
the grain at least one-half while the
horse is not at work.
Founder' is caused by too inueh
feed, a sudden change offood, or a
drink of water when the animal is
warm. Distemper is especially liable
to attack the young horses in the
spring of the year, just .when their
services are most Valuable'. Thisdis-
ease is contageous, and • care should
be exercised against exposing the
young horses to the infection. The
most minion way that young horses
get this disease is when they, are toe
ken to to*nt and. allowed to drink
oat of public watering trcughe and
tied to hitching posts where othe
horses: have been 'tied that had the
disease.. -0..H. Glover, D.V.S., Col-

Oil Better Than Water at
Times.
The unexpected arrival of spring
before March was fifteen days old
found the watering cart still in win-
ter quarters with the roads drying
up under a June -like sky, but after
the dust had blown all over the
front street for a few days the cart
was got out and has been in service
regularly for two weeks. In Toronto
Ottawa, Galt . and London this
ere spring the freedom from dust on
oiled • macadam roadways has been
most favorably commented on.
Watering is regarded as a nuisance.
in those cities. The slight odor
attached to an oiled roadway would
scarcely count against the advanta-
ges accruing from a sprinkling of oil,
Sunday and every other day the busi-
ness district could be made dustless.
Oil preserves tnacadam and on road-
ways not as solid as those made of
erushed stone is cheaper in the end
than water, which creates mud, is de-
trimental to driving and a source of
annoyance to citizens who go to
considerable trouble to keep Hid,: ve-

A FEAT OF CONJURING,

A trick always popular with the pro.
feselotial conjurer Mal known as
the "coffee tends," though some Weti.

about Mocha," Is better for a pro-
gram. It has the ativentage, too, of
not conveying any Idea of what the
triter le to be, The trick Is as suit's

and a paper cylinder, are all that ap

Over one stalker is spresd one of the
velvet squares' and on 'top of it is
pieced a small. round metal plate. The
other stinker is covered with the sec-
ond velvet square, but without any

number of minute, scentless and col-

These are self fertilized and produce
abundant seed. The word ciel.stog-
mous expresses the fact that the

opening of the flower and hence with-
out.the agency of insects. Such never

Public expectoration is against the
commote law, against the laws of
health also. When the .throat tickles,
that's the time you need 'Watarrho-
zone": it .soothes away the irrita-
tion'cuts out the phlegm and loos-
ens the tight feeling. You'll quickly
cure that catarrh and throat trouble
with (1-atarrhozone. It4 positively pre-
vents new attacks and cures catarrh
forever and for all time to tome.
Don't take our word for it, try ca-
tarrhozone yourself. Once used yoUll
be delighted with its pleasant and
helpful influence.
