If they could be protected and encouraged to live there , they would eradicate many of the grubs and cut worms. Tlie great enemy of the toad Is the small boy who kills many every year of the useful animals. The boy regards this as innocent sport , not knowing that the toad is a most valua ble insect destroyer. < No one with the instinct of self-pres ervation should attempt to drive a horse without first assuring himself that the animal is under proper control , and no horse should be considered as fulfilling that condition unless he can be easily and comfortably be held with one hand. A good test of this may be made , says Suburban Life , before mounting the box by taking hold with one hand of both reins between the horse's mouth and neck , but not near enough to the bit to pinch the jaw , and trying to make him back ; if this can not be done without much effort the horse is not fit for a novice to drive ; either his mouth is too hard , or , more oroperly , he is improperly bitted. Teac-liiiif ? Hoys in Grow Alfalfa. The Farmers' institute of Brown county , Illinois , is doing a good work J > y teaching the boys how to grow al falfa. They are given the study of bul letins and books upon alfalfa written by competent authorities and are then required to pass a written examination upon their knowledge of the same. Good .prizes are offered for the best papers upon the subject. The first pre mium is the payment of all expenses in attending the short courses at the college of agriculture and other pre miums are given for second and third best papers. The Illinois Farmers' Institute lias done excellent work in teaching the farm boys how to grow corn and the broadening of the work by extending in struction to other crops is an example that might well be followed by other Htate institutions. The II : i" > e or Motor ? On the ordinary jarm the animal 5s still of greater service { ban any me chanical force.

Which kind he rlinll use must be gov erned by the conditions under whiel > I be work * . It may be Mirp/isinir to , iho.-c Hung on tiie niries of the West to learn that even oxen are still used for the work of plowing. But on hilly , stony land the ox K still valuable for a plow animal. The fact that he is slow makes him the more valuable , for when the plow is moving among vtoucs and roots it is better that it move slowly lhan rapidly. But on tlie lands of the West , say ; the Farmers' * animal is ne"d- Review , a fast-moving - ed , and the ox is outclassed. The sane variations apply to the use of plows drawn by electric motors and to greater plows driven by steam , Some experiments have recently been made in Germany to determine at just what point the steam plow is more valuable than the plow drawn by horses or oxen. The conclusion is reached that it is impossible to make an estimate. In the ivpurt the cost of power ma chinery for plowing and cultivating small farms is said to be prohibitive , but where farmers owning large areas can co-operate and buy a steam plow this is declared to be a matter of econ omy. C'uri. Xot a few farmers are of t'.ie op'.n- icn that the mold lives in the soil erin in the rubbish of the iicid. especially if the moldy ears are thrown down when found or are left in the field , and thus is carried over from year to year , says a writer in the Bloomington Pan- tagraph. Perhaps the mold is not so apparent this season as usual , because of a lack of just the kind of weather to propagate it. One of the best corn experts in the state ( II. A. Winter of Wenona ) said last year that he believed this dry rot may have been the cause of so imu'h poor seed corn. It frequently happens that an otherwise good-looking ear has a trace of mold around the tips of iln grains just next the cob , perhaps only on one side or one ( -ml , and so is over looked when ( he seed selection is made. It seems as if it would be a good time to stamp out the mold when there is a small amount of it. by destroying every ear that can be found. From what is known of this disease it certainly would be a safe and practi cal thing to make special pains to pre vent any of the moldy ears from r--- maJning in the Held or the corn crib lo contaminate sound corn. Instead of dropping a moldy ear to ground , or letting it remain in the husk on the stalk , when discovered , every such ear should be snapped and thrown into a box attached to the side of the wagon. When unloading at the crib , every ear at all affected with the mold .should be separated from the other corn , throwing it into a box or barrel provided tor the purpose. There is very little feeding value , even for pigs and chickens , in corn so damaged , and it would better be destroyed by burn ing. Ilees In "Winter. It Is not necessary to go to the ex pense of buying tlie finest grades of white granulated sugar , for a straw colored sugar will answer just as well provided it is crystallized. Molasses sugar should , however , be avoided , be cause it contains burnt or caramel sugar which is Injurious to bees. In feeding , the writer prefers to use tlie feed lukewarm if possible and late In the day so that the bees will gather tlia feed mainly by night. This helpi against robbing. The entrance to each hive should be small during feeding operations as a further precaution against robbing practices. In - wintering ing out of doors there is nothing bet ter than a double-walled hive packed with chaff , straw or paper. Roofing paper fabrics afford excel lent protection to exposed hives , says the Farmers' Voice. Some protect hives by placing them in a row and covering them as they would cabbages. Others put them in clamps. The main idea , of course , is to protect against long continued cold weather. Bees can not stand cold , at least not lower than TO degrees. But the best plan of win tering bees in most of our Northern States is by means of a dry cellar in which a temperature of oO degrees Fahrenheit can be steadily maintained. In addition , it should be dark , noiseless and well ventilated. Where there is a door to the cellar inside a building It j is best because this door to the stair way can be left open and yet no light can get in. If in addition to this there is no disturbance of the bees during their long sleep , it Is likely they will come through their Imprison ment with little loss , besides requiring very little food not more than ten pounds perhaps. A good many boos die during the winter , so many as to be quite alarm ing to a beginner. They are the old veterans , and in any case would die of old age and hard work , so do not be alarmed. Some beekeepers provide a space beneath the frames for the dead hoes to fall into and the same f-pacc' affords an excellent opportunity for the bees to cluster together some thing" like half a sphere. They are warmer than if kept separated by the combs. They leave the cluster occa sionally t. ) go after feed , but soon re turn to their comrades in the cluster.

Croii.s OH lliu Former IMaius of Canadian AVe.se. That portion of the country in West ern Canada formerly recognized as ranching country has developed into one of the best winter wheat districts in the continent. Yields are quoted running from 30 to (50 bushels to the acre , and giving a return to the farmer of from $23 to $30 per acre. These lands are now selling at from $1'J to $10 per acre , and pay well at that fig ure. 11. Howes , of Magrath , Alberta , Western Canada , had 30 acres of land in wheat , which averaged 43 bushels to the acre ; his yield of oats was ; 53 bushels. The value to him per acre of wheat was $03. J. F. Haycock of the same place says. "I had 03 acres of wheat , o3 acres of oats and 4 acres of barley. My average yield of oats to the acre was SO bushels ; wheat winter ( JO bushels and Red Fyfe . ' 53 bushels , and barley 30 bushels. The value to me per acre was wheat. $ : ! S ; oats. $ :5L : . and barley. $2-1. " J. F. Brad- shaw. of Magrath. had 1.0:50 : acres of wheat in crop that averaged : > ! ) 'j ' bush els to the acre , his oats . .2 bushels. barley 53 bushels. He threshed :51HiO : ( bushels of wheat from 340 acres. He also had 230 tons of sugar beets from 23 acres worth $3.02 V- per ton. W. S. Sherod. of Lethbridge. says. "I came to Lethbridge from Souris , North Da kota , in April , 1SJ07. having purchased DftO acres of land in this district last fall. I had 12S acres of Alberta Red Winter wheat , which was put in on breaking in the fall of 1900 , wnich yielded forty-one and a half bushels to the acre , for which I received S7V- > cents per bushel , which paid me $30.30 per acre. I had 100 acres "stubbled in ; ' ' that is , disced in on the stubble. which yielded 22 bushels to the acre at S71/- : cents per bushel , which paid me $19.23 to the acre. I also had 330 acres of strictly volunteer crop , which it was intended to prepare in the sum mer ; but when it was seen that it was a good-looking crop , it was allowed to go. From this we threshed 13 bushels to the acre , which paid us at the rate of ST1/ cents per bushel , or $13.12 per acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742 bushels of first-class wheat. Taking it as a whole , I consider that I had a ( irst-class crop all through ; and , taking into consideration the fact of part of the crop having been "stubbled in , " and part strictly volunteer ( which was never touched at all until the binder was put into it ) I consider I had a heavy crop. I might say that I was in North Dakota five years , and I never grew as heavy a crop during that time. | This is the 23th day of November , and I my teams are still ploughing , and from ! the appearance of the weather , will be | for some time yet. " R. W. Bradshaw , | of Magrath. says , "I had this year 400 i acres in crop ; viz. , 200 acres of wheat ( and 200 acres in oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bush els , and wheat 22 bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $19 and oats $17. The highest price obtained by me this year or offered me for my grain was for wheat 82 cents per busli- el aud $1.03 per hundred for oats. I also had 100 tons of hay worth $12 per ton , and will say my wheat was all volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is averaging from 30 to 00 bushels per acre on summer fallow , and on new break' ng. when the breaking was done early in vhe spring. " Writing from Spring Coulee , Alberta. W. L. Thomp son says , "I had this year 3,000 acres in crop ; viz. , 2,000 acres of wheat and 1.000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and of wheat 33 bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $27 and for oats $13.
