J. KEIFFORD hall, R. No. 1. REID’S GROVE, MD. 
ing nursery for-hedgerow plants that 
cannot be close cut or trimmed. 
With us there seems to be about four 
species of hedgerow plants that are 
far more numerous than all the others. 
But I suppose that the number and the 
species will vary greatly in different 
localities. With us, everywhere and 
always when protected frorifi grazing, 
the wild red raspberry runs riot 
although there are regions where it is 
an unusual plant. Then there is the 
so-called “red-willow,” really a dog¬ 
wood with very slender and at certain 
seasons almost brilliantly red branches. 
Then there is the humble but omni¬ 
present choke cherry; and last the elm, 
—most beautiful and distinctive of all 
our native trees and yet the greatest 
nuisance when out of place. Rasp¬ 
berry bushes can be plowed rather more 
easily than heavy alfalfa. A good, 
steady, powerful team can rip and tear 
through almost any ‘ growth of red- 
willow or choke cherry but _ it takes 
only a small elm sapling with roots 
tough and fibrous as white-leather to 
hold up anything short of a locomotive. 
So we have been wrestling with the 
destruction of this old wall which men 
once labored so hard and patiently to 
build. Where the bad habit of always 
plowing around a field and throwing 
the furrow against the fence has been 
followed it will often be found that 
there is more wall below the surface 
' than above. 
The stone we are putting to a new 
and I hope a better use' by drawing 
them to the bank of the pasture brook 
where we have made the beginings of 
an ice pond. This clearing up of walls 
and hedgerows is a job that we have 
done a good deal of within my memory. 
With us, clearing up a wall means first 
cutting down any brush that may be in 
the way, then drawing all the stone 
small enough to be readily loaded on a 
wagon. Then comes the digging around 1 
and prying up and loading on a stone ! 
boat all the big ones in sight, and then 
the use of the plow which never fails 
to reveal an astonishing crop of unseen 
stone. The plow should be accom- j 
panied by the bar and pick to 'get out i 
of the way and throw to the surface I 
all loose stone. Finally the ground ' 
shofild be harrowed and reharrowed 1 
many times and all fast roots cut off | 
and the rubbish picked up and burned. 
With the best of effort it will not be 
very nice going for two or three years 
. but ultimately you will come to forget 
where the old wall was. 
Now measured in terms of dollars 
and cents I don’t know that this work 
pays. In these days of high priced 
labon it costs tremendously to reclaim 
land in this way—far more than to go 
out and buy it by the acre. Both Prof. 
Roberts and that later authority on 
farm management. Dr. Warren, agree 
that to paint a barn is a luxury and not 
an investment. I expect that clearing 
up old walls and hedgerows falls into 
the same category. But I confess to a 
keen sense of satisfaction as I see the 
fields widen and the corn rows run 
where once in the tangle, the woodchuck 
dug his hole. I find no work quite as 
fascinating as this expensive method of 
adding acreage to the old farm. 
Famous Guernsey Cows 
France’s Bellinda of Big Spring 
farms is in seventh place in Class AA 
by producing 15,517 pounds milk and 
782.76 pounds butterfat. The remark¬ 
able part of this record is that when 
she was purchased by Harry Atwood 
of Bolton, Mass., she was on test, and 
although he had never done testing be¬ 
fore, he retained the cow on test. In 
addition to going through the moving i 
process from Campton, N. H., to the 
Langwater Farm sale, thence to Bolton, 
Mass., she dropped a calf 17 days before 
the test was completed. During all 
tl\ese changes she showed wonderful 
peace of mind and persistency in pro¬ 
duction. 
Plenty of space in your 
pocket for this compact 
model—an unusual op¬ 
portunity to use it on 
your farm.
