A few roots in winter and green stuff during slimmer will keep the animals in good health. ' NOTES': Although the quality and market value of frozen onions are not as great s the unfrozen stock, a grower may be able to dispose of frozen onions at advantage. When solidly frozen, and kept in such condition until a spring thaw, and then disposed of at once for immediate consumption, the quality of the stock is often little injured and the market value may be but slightli shaded. if. on the other hand, the frozen onions are allowed to thaw, again freeze and thaw, the quality may be so badly damaged as to make the stock worthless. Any surplus time at this season of the year may be profitably utilized in pruning the trees about the place. The dead wood and crowded branches, of course, must be removed. Smooth, clean wounds should be made and then smeared over with lead paint, Spongy tissue from old cavities should be cut away. The cavities should then be 'washed with creosote and filled with cerdent. The latter opera- tion had best be undastalten on one of the warm days at this time of the year. Eight tons of manure on land limed once in a five-year rotation with two of finely -ground limestone have pro- duced 33 bushels of wheat per acre at the Ohio station farm, while untreated land has yielded only 13 bushels as a 12 -year average. Clover and timothy hay following the wheat on raanured and limed land have yielded three toms per acre more then that harvested on untreated land. This hay at $10 a ton has more than paid all cotes of producing the wheat, if manure costs only the -expense of hauling and spreading on the field. The system- atic manuring and liming have been paid for in other crops ot the rotation, leaving the increase in Wheat yield as clear gain. The prieo of wheat for 1918 will be not less than $2 per bushel—it maY be higher. A bushel of wheat will buy from 100 to 150 pounds of top-dresti- ing fertilizer. With wheat at $2 it will pay big to top -dress wheat this spring. It's the last opportunity to increase your 1918 Wheat crop. Chinese Style.

This time he reports the discovery of a clump of whispering trees, The find was made far up in Los nines canyon, where the county surveyor's gang recently ran lines for a mount- ain road to connect the eashore Via this scenic canyon with the Tepanga at its junction with Garrepata. The mysterious trees tire near the bottom of the canyon, not far from the Weber ranch, At this point the wagon road is hung on the side of the can- yon, far above the trickling eta earn, Persons passing along the road at this point are invariably attracted be what sounds to them as somebody in the undergrowth were talking in a subdued voice.

Inoteceys are frsquently captured in nooses and in traps built in the shape of houses, The only entrance is a trap-door in the roof, which COMMuni- Cates with a trigger set. upon the ground. Food is spread about inside, the monkeys enter, and, skirmishing around, disturb the trigger, and the trap shuts them in. Another method for catching them is a most ludicrous one. An old hard cocoanut is taken and a small hole made in the shell. Furnished with this and a pocketful of boiled rice, the sportsman sallies Into the forest and stops beneath a tree tenanted by monkeys. Within fun sight of these inquisitive specta- tors, he fleet eats a little rice and theh puts a quantity into the cocoanut, with all the ostentatiou possible. The nut is then laid upon the geound, and the hunter retires to a convenient am- bush. No sooner is the man out Of sight than the Monkeys race eelter- skelter for the cocoanut. The first arrival peeps into it and, seeing the plentifulstore of rich rice inside squeezes 'his hand in through the small hole and clutches a handful. So paramount ia greed over every other feeling connected with monkey -nature that nothing will induce the creature to relingaish his hold. With his hand thus clamed he cannot possibly ex- tract it, but the thought that if he leaves go one of his brethren will obtain the feast it overpowering. The sportsmaa Soon appears upon the sceue. The unemcumberod monkeys fly in all directions, but the unfor- tunate brute wao still will not let the rice go is _thereby handicapped beyond hope by the possession of a cocoaput —a:state of affairs quite fatal to rapid locomotion. The sequel is that he falls an easy capture to the hunter, a victim et his own greed.—"Family Herald.' Worms cause fretfulness and rob the infant of sleep, the great nour- !slier.
