WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW! 
If you don't see what you want , ask for it. 
1. I have not seen the Milk Exchange prices quoted 
of late and would like to see them, as I send my milk 
to a station. 2. Am X entitled to the seeds and 
plants? If so, what Is the postage? o. e. w. 
Chenango Co., N. Y. 
AXS.—1. The Milk Exchange price Is quoted from 
time to time, also the price for which the surplus 
sells on the platform. At present, tne Exchange 
price Is 3(4 cents. 2. Every subscriber who complies 
with the conditions published from time to time. 
Is entitled to all the seeds and plants offered. Bee 
Publisher's Desk, February 11, and in this number. 
The conditions must be compiled with. 
A young orchard planted six or eight years ago Is 
very thrifty; but nearly every summer one or two of 
the trees die. Examination shows that all the bark 
Is oil within three Inches of the surface of the 
ground. What Is the cause, and what Is a remedy? 
Eglon, W. Va. S. G. 
Ans.—M ice. There Is no remedy except preven¬ 
tion. All weeds and trash should be cleared away 
from the trees In the fall, and they Bhould be banked 
up with earth a foot high. This will prevent the 
trouble, tor those already girdled, there Is little 
hope. Many are apparently saved by being tied up 
with various compounds to induce a new growth of 
bark, or by having the girdled parts bridged over 
with grafts to induce a new union, but generally, 
soonor or later, the weakness manifests Itself, and 
the trees break olT when subjected to a heavy strain 
even after growing luxurlant.y for years. Hotter root 
them out and replace with new trees. 
I am thinking of sowing peas In spring ; are they a 
profitable crop In this section? About what price do 
they bring, and what Is the best place to market 
them? flow about sage and squashes ? Is there any¬ 
thing more profitable to he raised on farms? j. k. t. 
Penn Yan, N. Y. 
Ans.—A sk some one who grows them In your 
locality, and who knows the charater of your soli, 
the demands of the market, etc. We have no means 
Of knowing as to your locality. The crops mentioned 
usually prove profitable If there Is a demand for 
them in nearby markets. 
About what Is the weight of the young spring 
lambs that sell In market at about $8 to $1U per car¬ 
cass ? I have a lot from two to live weeks old and 
would like to sell as soon as they are large enough. 
Cockburn, N. Y. C. F. 8. 
Ans.—F rom 25 pounds upward, dressed. They 
should be a little heavier now than before the holl 
days, as they are more plentiful, and a little extra 
weight Is an advantage. Your oldest ones should 
soon be of proper weight. Feed them all they will 
assimilate. 
I. How much grain Is needed for feeding hens at 
night, they having soft food In the morning and 
nothing between times? 2. What beans are most 
profitable as shell beans for market? E. 8. n. 
Harwtnton, Conn. 
ANS.—1. We don’t know. No one knows. What 
breed are the hens? How old? How large? Are they 
contlned closely, or running at large? Do they pick 
up much feed, or depend entirely upon what they 
are fed? The average hen consumes about a gill u 
day of grain, or Its equivalent. Poultry should 
not go without food until night, unless running out 
where they can pick up considerable, but during the 
da> should be fed lightly on Hmall grain scattered In 
straw or other Utter. They should also get green 
stutf of some kind, ground bone, shells, etc, 2. It 
depends upon your soil and market. Marrows and 
Kidneys sell highest, but Pea and Mediums are surer 
croppers. Ask some successful grower In your 
neighborhood.

To effect Immediate Belief in Abthma, try 
Dr. Jayne’s Expectorant, which acts promptly by 
overcoming the spasmodic contraction of the wind- 
tubers, and by causing the ejection of the mucus 
which clogs them. For Whooping Cough, Croup and 
Hoarseness, this medicine Is equally beneficial; 
while for all Pulmonary and Bronchial Disorders, It 
Is both a palliative and a curative, and a sure and 
prompt remedy for alllstubbornlUoughs and Colds.—
