NEW APPLE DISCOVERED
The accidental discovery of nu
merous red bud sports and seedlings
of standard varieties of apples has
done much to reshape the lists of
commercial varieties in recent years.
Almost every year a new bud sport
Is introduced. In most cases these
red strains are trees or branches of
already mature and which have
been fruiting many years. Their im
portance has not been recognized
more than locally, or in some cases
not even discovered until what may
be termed the bud-sport phase of
fruit growing got under way just a
few years ago. Now most every fruit
grower is on the lookout for red
strains. While it cannot be expected
every grower will be rewarded by
the discovery of a superior sort, the
chance of success is good enough to
add zest to the more prosaic work of
growing fruit. Variation in color
which distinguishes these red strains
shows up by midsummer, and from
then until picking time the devia
tion from the standard color in
creases. These red strains not only
sell for higher prices but may in
some cases be picked earlier than
the parent variety. Red strains of a
good many of the standard varieties
are already available. The value of
none of these is more definitely es
tablished than the red strains of
Rome Beauty. Gallia Beauty and
Red Rome are seedling rather than
bud sports, and although they origi
nated in different counties are so
nearly alike that one cannot be dis
tinguished from the other. Gallia
Beauty has been somewhat more
fully tested than Red Rome, having
been grown commercially for 20
years. Like Rome Beauty, these new
varieties produce annual crops and
are very productive. They differ
from Rome Beauty only in color.
Another chance seedling under ob
servation which is similar to Gallia
Beauty in color has consistently
reached full bloom about two days
later than Rome Beauty or Gallia
Beauty. It has been demonstrated
that the late-bloominsf character is
rather easily transmitted by crossing
late-blooming sorts. This suggests
the possibility of finding a red strain
which also blooms later than the
parent variety. Every orchardist rec
ognizes the importance of late
blooming where spring fronts occur.
The possibilities of this bud-sport
and red-strain phase of fruit grow
ing are many and promising.

rLUWSHAKL IVtr 1 SHAIvr
One of the new developments in
plowing is the application of a
tungsten-cobalt-chromium alloy to
the plowshare for the purpose of
protecting the wearing surfaces of
the share, thus reducing the rate
of wear and decreasing the frequen
cy of sharpening the snares. The ap
plication of the alloy is very similar
to the process of brazing. The plow
share was sharpened in the usual
manner, after which all the surfaces
to which the alloy was applied were
ground until bright. A coating of the
alloy was then laid on by means of
the oxyacetylene torch. Care was
taken to have the share blocked in
a position on the welding table that
permitted the molten alloy to How
freely over the polished suriace. This
position had to be changed for each
operation before completing the
coating on land side, top and bot
tom. During the spring plowing sea
son, the department of agricultural
engineering at a western university
co-operated with farmers in a test
of this new method of treating plow
shares. One share of a three-bottom
tractor gang plow was treated with
one-quarter pound of the material,
which comes in the form of a weld
ing rod. The plow was used in
falouse silt loam, plowing seven to
eight inches deep and averaging 10
acres per day. During the eight-day
test period the shares, which were
identical except for the alloy treat
ment on the one, were carefully
watched for wear. Before it became
necessary to repeat the alloy treat
ment the untreated shares were
sharpened four times and their
blades were worn half an inch short
er than the blade of the treated
share. The operating record of the
alloy-treated raare and its two un
treated “plom mates" shows that
with the alloy treatment the plow
share service Is equal to that ob
tained from four regular sharpen
ings. The allow treatment cost 17
cents per acre as compared
with 50 cent* per acre when the
share every half day is followed. In
another test a three-bottom outfit
treated with the alloy plowed 60
acres in 80 hours. The soil in
which these shares were plowing
was of granit* decomposition and
provided idea) conditions for a se
vere test. Tim plows were set to
operate at a depth of seven to eight
inches, under which conditions un
treated share# have been worn out
at the end 01 20 hours of plow
ing. After tf.ta test the treated
shares did rWH require any black
smithing befor» proceeding with the
second application of the alloy,
which was made at a cost of $1.50
per share. If the time and labor
spent changing shares and taking
them to town to be sharpened are
considered along with the better
performance of the plow and the
decreased depreciation due to the
greater wear on the untreated
shares, the saving in plowing costs
is between 30 to 50 cents per acre
In favor of the alloy treatment
TWO NEW RASPBERRIES
The Viking red raspberry and the
New Logan black raspberry have
proved to be the best new rasp
berry varieties tested at a western
experiment station during recent,
years. The Viking originated at
the Vineland experiment station,
Vineland, Ontario*It is said to be a
cross between Outhbert and Marl
boro. At this station it has been a
vigorous grower, end productive.
Ttie fruit is large, lighter in color
than Cutihbert. and of veny good
quality. The plant has snown a
susceptibility to mild mosaic but
a marked resistance to leaf curl.
Like Latham, the plant seems to
have the ability to mature a crop of
IMPROVING FLOCKS
The master shepherd is one who
will look after all the details in
flock management which are so
essential for the best results. The
following are the requirements.
Maintain a healthy, uniform breed
ing flock of from twenty-five to
forty ewes, which is considered one
unit flock. Control internal and ex
ternal parasites by a systematic
program in dosing and dipping.
Flush the ewes aEout two weeks
before breeding. Observe commun
ity ram day. Breed to a good regis
tered mutton ram. Remove the ram
from the ewe flock after a period
»f six weeks. Provide adequate win
ter sh Uter. Grow a. loeume hay
fruit even when showing symptoms
of mild mosaic. Its resistance to leaf
curl is of great value, as this dis
ease has just about prevented the
extensive growing of the Cuthbert.
Considering all points, th? variety
is worthy of rather extensive field
trial. Scarcely a new black rasp
berry variety of any value has ap
peared In recent years. Of the black
varieties tested, the New Logan, has
been by lar the best. The plant is
very vigorous and productive. The
fruit, while being somewhat smaller
than Cumberland, is of good size
and of very good quality. The ber
ries also go through the canning
Erocess without crumbling. The New
ogan has been remarkably free
from the serious diseases of the
black raspberries. The disease situ
ation in the raspberry industry i*
so serious at the present time that
any .-variety indicating resistance is
worthy of careful testing.

DON'T NEGLECT SPKAY
In many sections of the country,
with the coming of August the fruit
grower feels that the season of
spraying is about past. There are
several app'ications Indicated about
this time that growers would do
well to consider. There should cer
tainly be made an application of
Bordeaux mixture on the apples
during early August; and if the
codling moth has been in evidence,
this cou.d well carry arsenate of
lead. The late summer and early
fall varieties may get by without
this spraying, but those that are
not picked before the middle of Sep
tember should ceriiinly have it,
event if they do have to be washed
or brushed before go.ng on the
market. Where the curcuko has in
fested peaches, the orchards should
be dusr.ed with lime and arsenate of
lead 30 days following the harvest
of the last variety of fruits, which
is usually the Biberla. In two weeks
this dus.ing should be repeated. Ap
plications of these a iter-harvest
dusts are not necessary unless the
curculio has been serious. In plant
ings, where the case-bearer is in
evidence, a spray of arsenate of lead
should be made sometime between
the middle of July and September
in order to hold in check the in
jury from this pest. During this
time the case-bearer is feeding on
the leaves and may be so reduced in
numbers that the injury the allow
ing spring will b? negligible. The
scab fight should also be concluded
during the first week of August by
making the final application of
monchydra.ed copper sulphate and
lime dust. Of course, this battle
should have been commenced soon
after the pistillate flowers had set
fruit, wnicn is in late April or May.

DON’T SLIGHT SPRING PIGS
Some farmers castrate, worm, dip
and wean their pigs ail at one time.
Those going to this extreme gener
ally speak of their success in rais
ing pigs as "luck.” and they are
lucky if the pigs live through the
ordeal without an unprofitable set
back. The manner in which pigs
are handled the first three months
of their lives generally determines
whether they will make a profit. A
large per cent of the spring pig crop
is weaned during the busiest sea
son of the year. Corn planting,
plowing and the early hay crops all
need attention, which often means
that the pigs are slighted. Weaning
time generally comes without the
pigs having learned to eat and to
depend on a ration containing the
necessary elements their growing
bodies need. If pigs are to go
through the weaning period with
out a setback, it is essential that
they be accustomed to a ration that
will replace the mother's milk as far
as possible. Best results are ob
tained when pigs only a few weeks
old are furnished a creep in which
are palatable feeds. What feed to
use is always a problem. Shorts,
rolled oats, buttermilk, tankage, fish
meal and linseed oil meal are feeds
that have been used successfully by
pork producers who wish to push
their pigs as fast as possible. Com
mercial pig meals with more in
gredients are widely used Of the
unmixed feeds, possibly rolled oats,
or more recently hulled oats, is the
most successful pig feed. As the pigs
advance in age, the oat feed could
be gradually replaced with corn.
Skim milk and buttermilk have their
place in pig feeding, and should be
used if they are available. Miner
als. of course, are essential. The im
portant thing is to keep the pigs
thrifty and growing, for it is at this
stage of a hog’s life that he is most
susceptible to infectious diseases
that show up in their acute form
later. Pigs must also withstand the
shock of castration and vaccina
tion. Both of these operations may
well be performed before the pigs
are weaned. Owing to the fact that
they are growing rapidly, the pigs
need many elements in their feed
not necessary during the fattening
period, and to deprive them of these
elements means a flirtation with
disease regardless of how sanitary
the surroundings may be. No pork
producer should slight his pig crop
for other crops. There is no work
on the farm that will return greater
dividends than the proper care of
pigs.
LIME CABBAGE GROUND
Clubroot of cabbage is least trou
blesome on soil that has plenty of
lime in it. There is no hard-and
fast rule as to the amount of lime
needed to prevent clubroot. Some
soils require more than others. Two
or three tons per acre will remedy
matters on most soils.
NO MONEY**IN SCRUBS
Every dairyman should try and
get it into his head it only pays to

are what knock the profit out of the

and feed it as a basic winter ration.
Feed a grain ration before and after
lambing, and some silage if avlal
able. Give the ewes with twin lambs
extra feed and attention. Dock all
lambs and castrate all ram lambs
when from one to two weeks old.
Shear the flock between the tenth
and twentieth of May, depending
upon the weather. Tie each fleece
of wool with paper wool twine, bag
and store in a clean place. Market
the lambs when approximately 150
days old. Have lambs fat and
weighing from seventy five to eighty
five pounds on the farm. Market
the lambs and wool co-operatively

August Day Eventful
in American History
August 8 lias proved to be such
an eventful date in American history
that the War department has issued
a long comment on it, incorporating
the following facts:
It began the World war, which
contributed much to American his
tory.
It marked the opening of the Pan
ama canal.
It marked the peace treaty 185
years ago between the government
and the Indians of the Northwest,
giving ua Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Michigan and western Pennsylvania.
This treaty followed one of the most
terrible and destructive Indian wars
in American history, in which George
Itogers Clark, “Mad" Anthony Wayne
and others distinguished themselves.
Early Peddlers
Elderly New Englanders living in
the rural sections like to recnll the
old tin peddlers’ carts which ap
peared at their doors every so often
with pans and kitchenware. Those
earlier day itinerants were invariably
shrewd yet kindly Yankees who gave
good values and made friends wher
ever they went.
Although generally called tin ped
dlers, they carried a large assort
ment of miscellaneous household
utilities. From door to door they
moved, collecting old magazines,
rags, lead pipe and other marketable
metals, giving from tlielr stock in ex
change. The carts opened from the
sides to display the articles carried.

The alarm is like the tinkling of
bells, and Is loud enough to prevent
one from oversleeping.
