I'rolitablo On the boundary line of two farms In an Austrian village there is a large gooseberry bush , from which the two farmers have for years gathered the product. "What grows on my side ia mine , and you may have the rest , " was the agreement. Three years ago the neighbors had a misunderstanding , and this came to a climax when the gooseberries became ripe. A lawsuit followed , and appeals were made to higher judicial bodies. The final decision has just been record ed In an Austrian paper. Each party is to have the right to pick the berries which grow on his side of the line , just as it was originally , but neither may destroy the bush. The emits are cluirged half to each litigant. Kac-h fanner had to pay two hundred and twenty-five krone. The yearly yield of the bush is worth about one- hair krone , and the judge told the ng t- h : ? farmers : "With good duck. It will take you only eight hundred years to mate the bush pay. Take good care of it" MUST HAVE HELP. Secretary "Wilson Points Out Beason for Hard Times. It has remained for Secretary of Ag riculture James Wilson to solve the true reason for high prices and the high cost of living which has been bothering the housewife and the mechanic for sev eral years past , lie sny3 the people , the labeling people , are themselves to blame. They fail to provide the neces sary help to the American farmer. In years gone by the fanner had his allies other men who came to his aid , hard ly supporting him when the burden grew too vast. lint now everywhere in mine and railroad , in factory and riox. JAMES forest the teeming millions of his neighbors have robbed him of them. To day he stands alone , striving with ti tanic courage to endure the strain ; yet seemingly doomed , in spite of his vast numbers , to sink under his toil , unless the help he needs be given. In his statement Secretary Wilson declares : "The productiveness of the United States along agricultural lines is not keeping pace with the growth of our population. Meats are dear ibecanse meat-bearing animals are falling be hind the population in relative number * . Labor is scarce on .the farm , and labor is dear on the farm , because the fac tory , the forest , the mine and the rail road are taking away the farmer's workers through wages iixed at rates the farmer can not afford to pay. The ! population of the United ( States is grow- jing both by reason of the natural in- j crease of the families domiciled in . America and by accretions through immigration - ; migration from abroad. But the iiurni- j grants do not reach to the farm. The I farmers who do come to us from for- j eigu countries do not find their way to j the farms of this country ; and the iiu- I migration laws prevent American farni- i ers from going to foreign countries and j selecting there the prospective iinmi- grants whose services could aid them. J At no period of our history has the j American farmer needed help so much as he needs it this year. There arc said to be hundreds of thousands of idle men in the United States. All of them could secure employment on the farms employment affording food , shelter and living wages. There are consequences awaiting us. The result of all this will be the bringing about of European conditions. Many of our working people to-day can not pay the prices current for meats. If we do not desire to have this condition of affairs go to greater extremes , steps should be taken to help the farmers secure a portion of the immigration that pours in upon our shores. Whatever may 'be ' the temporary effect of high prices for foodstuffs upon the prosperity of the farmer , the deprivations of one class of our population is the misfortune of all. High prices for meats and grains are not beneficial to the farmers of the Country , if the farmers can not employ the help that is requisite for the growth of grains and the production of fueats. And that is the case MOW with .lie farmers in a great many States of the Union. The United States has made remarkable growth as a manufacturing Cation because material is cheaper and better here than in any other country of the world. Our farmers are making * lie most energetic efforts to produce , rhey have the , best machinery the world of agriculture knows. They themselves vork and their families work. But the demand is greater than they can sup- \ly. " The world has its "granaries" and its vattle plains ; but the United States is not a part of that world. Its granaries vnd its plains are its own ; when they fail , there are no others to which to turn. This farmer giant last year was worth to the nation $ T 0.000,000 during every day of the crop growing season. In the single year he produced mate rial amounting in value to $7,412.000- 000. It meant that he had saved the country from a disaster far more grave than the embarrassments of the fall and winter managed to produce. The balance of trade in farm products for last year was $444,000.000 in favor of this country which meant that nearly half a billion dollars in cash was added to the riches of the nation. In all otlier products , the trade of 11)07 produced a balance in our , favor of only ? 2.00,000. Practically unaided last year , the farm er giant fed the United States and sent abroad products that brought home $1.- What might turn out to ho the begin ning of n revolution in Turkey is the re ported mutiny of 7,000 soldiers in the Moaastir District.

Ce slo\v about making promises ; then you won't have so many to 'break. ' A really good ewe will raise twin lambs better than a scrub will bring up c-e. A sheep Is not particularly brighi mentally , but will respond to kind treat ment. When feeding ground oats to young pics it is better to seive the oats and throw out the hulls. You can make lambs fat without corn. Feed them barley , alfalfa , tur nips and field peas. Watch for ticks on the lambs and at the first sign ot ! the pests dip. Ticky lambs cannot thrive. It's all right to "put your shoulder to the wheel , " but be sure the wheel is steered in the right direction. Sheep will eat weeds if very hungry , but they don't like them any better than a niau likes poor , sour bread. Putting the 'best ' foot forward means putting up a bluff. The only success ful men are those who get there with both feet. It takes courage to adopt new meth ods of farming in an old fogy neigh borhood , but success will soon change public sentiment. The man who has no bad habits , never makes mistakes and never fails to say so is too good for the company of ordinary mortals and should 'be let nlone. The main object in the first few months of a pig's life is to produce bone , muscle and growth sort of get him in shape to carry a big load of corn to market. A trap nest will pick out the poor and the good layers , giving a chance to dispose uf the drones afld thus keep the workers. Have you ever stopped to consider the matter ? Some men who boast that they go to work before daylight sometimes spend so mtch iim0 at the grocery store and ibe old fishing hole thai they lose more than the3- gain by the early bird meth ods. Gather up the leaves that shatter off the clover hay when it is thrown down from the mow. Scald them well , then mix with ground oats and bran ; make I it wet , not sloppy.

"Wounds n Treen. The following mixture Is recommend ed for wounds of any kind on trees : melt resin and warm a little crude pe troleum in separate vessels , pouring into a third vessel three parts of resin to one of petroleum. This seals the wound very effectively until grown over. It is said to not run in warm weather , nor crack in cold , and cuts covered with it will not fail to heal. A Government Old Fort Brown is now an orchard and garden , in which citrus and other fruits and a variety of semitropical plants are growing , besides the truck that is specially adapted to that soil and climate. When the excursionists if the San Antonio Business Men's Ciul : were in Brownsville a few days ago they were treated to some of "the fine melons grown in the government inelos- ure. and were gratified by the exhibi tion of the great variety of plants and vegetables illustrative of the agricul tural and horticulture pOTi''iliti : § cT the lower Rio Grande vaiiey.

What is required for the hen in winter is a snug , warm location , while in summer she should have a ccol place , says the Washington Farmer. The best material for a nest is dry earth on the bottom , with chopped hay over the earth. Then dust the nest , hen and eggs with a good insect povrCc * , and put a wmll quantity of tobacco re fuse in the nest. Should an egg be Broken , or the nest become foul , clean it thoroughly. The broken egg will cause lice quicker than anything else. But 'first see that the hen has no lice , then give her good egi's , and she will 'bring off a brood if she has u warm and comfortable nest. nest.Tho The nest should be made movable , so that it can be taken outside for clean ing , and should never be placed where any of the fowls can roost upon it , or cause it to become filthy. It should never be so lii h as to compel effort to reach it. The large breeds will prefer to lay on the ground rather than at tempt to reach a high nest , even when a footway is provided. Some hens learn to lly over a fence by first learn ing to reach a high nest. ( Never have the nest so constructed that tiie hsn must jump down into it , as broken eggs will be the consequence. Rather place the entrance so as to pre- mit her to walk in upon the eggs. Grn < le Stallion ; ; . Wisconsin horse breeding is said to be in a deplorable condition. Prof. A. S. Alexander of Wisconsin Col lege of Agrh ; ! ture , publishes statis tics of the department of horse breed ing in the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture aid : lays bare an astonishing and deplorable condi tion of affairs in horse breeding in that state , a knowledge of whicy should lead to strenuous efforts toward improvement , in a new bulletin of the experiment station entitled "The Grade Stallion Situation in Wiscon sin. " The bulletin shows that , while grade stallions are practically unused abroad some 2,000 of them are employed for breeding purposes in Wisconsin , with a result that proper progress of the horse breeding industry is prevent ed. AIL impressed feature of the bul letin is a map of the state showing the distribution of pure bred and grade bires. and another is the striking pho tographs of grade and scrap stallions , demonstrating the nondescript type and lack of quality of such horses. The disadvantages of "using grade stallions are forcibly explained , and practical suggestions are made as to the measures necessary for the eventual elimination of such undesirable sires. The bulletin closes with a statement of the hitherto unpublished fact that 52 per cent of the seventy-live agricultural fairs of the state either encourage grade and scrub stallions by classes and premiums , or have entry rules so lax that such horses are not properly ex cluded. Yet all of these fairs are an nually subsidized by the state according to law , bonus money to the amount of $ n.020.SO : having in 100G been paid to the fairs by orfler of the secretary of state. Dr. Alexander contends that no bonus is deserved or should be paid to any fair encouraging grade animals. Spray Will Kill Codling Sloth. Death and final extermination for the codling moth ! Joy and increased profits for the apple growers of Colorado rado and the orchard men of the world ! The devastating reign of this unconquerable pest is nearly at an end , thanks to Clarence C. Gillette , professor ser of zoology and entomology at the Colorado Agricultural College , Fort Collins. For more than eighteen years Pro fessor Gillette has devoted much time and energy to perfecting a spray which would successfully kill off the codling moth , and at last success has crowned his efforts. His discovery of a method to annihilate the codling moth is not exactly of recent date , but year by year he has improved upon his solution for an effective spray , and recent experiments have proved his complete success. Up to within the last fifteen years the dread codling moth has destroyed annually from 50 to 75 per cent of the yield of Colorado apple orchards , and its devastations have been pro portionately great throughout the en tire world. For the codling moth is not a native of this State. It was im ported . /here years ago , just as were other fruit parasites and plant lice , .uul probably had its origin in Asia. To estimate the damage the codling moth has done in dollars and cents to the apple orchards of Colorado vrjrh- in a quarter century reaches up ii.to the millions ; but in the future this , vill lie saved. When he first advanced the theory . > f spraying just after the blossom fell , Professor Gillette advocated the use of a mixture c imposed of p-tris green * nnd london pr.mj. That brought cer tain good re * . . .Is , but In many in stances the ars.T.ic killed the foliage. The spray he a.lvocates now is arse- uate of lead. It is almost entirely In dissoluble. A person could hold enough of it to cause der.tti in the mouth all day without beig able to dissolve enough to do any harm. But if it were eaten an.l swallowed * the gastric juices of the stomach wouki dissolve It , and death would fol low. This is how it l:51J.s the codling moth. It is sticky and will adhere to the tree all year , and no amount of rain or mui ture ran interfere with its eHiciency. but let Uic tuotii nibble os it and lia dies.
