Famous for half a century. At all druzguU' , 25 cU. Poultry for profit demands good quarters and good feed. Stagnant water drunk by the cows Is apt to cause stingy milk. Feeding too much corn is the causa of many cak's of weakness in the hind legs. Lambs can be fattened without corn. Feed them barley , alfalfa' , turnips and field peas. Colts from a stallion that is kept in a stable , with little or no exercise , are usually inferior. Corn put into the silo will produce more feed to the acre ilru iii'-st any thing else for dairy cows. Get the cow's good will and slio will not hold up the milk. Kindness will accomplish what abuse never can. It is by trying that men become ex pert in anything. If you would under stand , your farming better keep trying. Sheep will never drink impure w.t- ter. In putting your Hock into wint"r quarters see that proper care is taken to provide adequate and dean watr supply. Heavy draft marcs will grow a grade draft colt every year that will 11 readily at from ! ? 7o to $200 when 3 years old.

The aniounr t.f protein a corn contain' ; can bi > deter mined by cutting tlu grain in tu * " crosswise with a pocket knife. The white mealy substance of the kernel 's the starch. Authorities on forestry say that sev enty-five years are required for the oak to reach maturity : and about the same length of time for the ash and elm ; and for the spruce and fir about eighty years. After this time their growth remains stationary for some year- ; , and tliou d'vnv heiir.s. Tl'.cro : ; ; v. how ever , exceptions , ' for oaks are still liv ing which are known to be over 1,000 years old. A small flock of sheep can be kept with but little expense , and , whether wool is high or low. the check their wool brings in the spring Is about clear profit , to saj * nothing of the feasts of roast lamb and mutton chops the table has held during the year. Then the Increase sold , whether as dressed meat on the local market or as live sheep to be shipped , will bring In quite a snug Bum. It Is hard for us to conceive of a farm upon which a small flock of sheep will not pay. When no water has been added to buttermilk it kas been found to have as great a feeding value as skim milk. Its composition is practically the same as th skim milk , although It varies somo- in composition. While it has been for calf feeding this must be by skillful feeders. It has its greatest use as a pig fted. In some caes it Is worth m re f r pig feed than the skim milk. Sev&ral of the stations have obtained excellent results In feeding It to pigs. To Increase Dairy Proflt.M. The dairyman is entitled t liberal compensation , as he represents the must strenuous branch of husbandry. The dairyman is confined to his work every day in the year and follows a branch of lire stock Industry that needs methodical , systematic nianagc- BfleaL The dairyman is compelled to plaoe business before pleasure or suffer serlotu losses. Regularity In feeding and milking Is one of the great secrets of success in the dairy Industry. Any branch of agriculture that involves such strenuous effort as dairy hus bandry should receive reasonable prof- Its. Tliare is no class of farming more under the control of the proprietor than dairying. It Is a branch of hus bandry that calls for the exorcise of In telligence and judgment. The mer chant and the manufacturer keep a record of their- transactions and can tell whether their business is operated nt a profit or loss. The milk producer can keep a record of his cows and weed out the unprofitable members and re place them with better performers. To keep a record of the individual pro duction of the different members of the herd will add interest to dairy hus- handry and show the proprietor how to increase his profits. Potnuli and Phosphoric Acid. Wfalle we can get all the nitrogen required in general farming from the nir and the stable manure , we can not get all of the phosphorus and- potas sium , and when they are deficient they must be restored to the soil In some way. The element most generally de ficient In most of our old cultivated Eolls Is phosphorus ; It Is taken from the soil to form the bones of every ani mal and Is used largely by grain crops. Potassium IB abundant in most clay soils , but it is in a form that is not available to the plants. In sandy , loose soils it Is deficHMit. On clay soil the potassium can be made available faster by the use of lime or land plaster. It is many times a question of whether it is cheaper to use lime or plaster or to buy poiash salts. On a farm where live stoc'k is fed the loss from these ele ments will be slow and when the deep- rooted legumes are grown In the rota tions they bring up these elements from the subsoil , a large portion of which eventually goes to promote the growth of succeeding crops in the rotation. If large amounts of purchased grain foods arc fed on the farm the amount of pot ash and phosphoric acid in the soil may be greatly Increased. Whether the supply of potassium and phosphorus will be sufficiently maintained in the cultivated soils without feeding pur chased grain foods will depend to a certain extent upon the kind of soil and su'-soil ; \\l : ( { ho xtrut to whirh tluep-ruoted plants are grown. Oil many farms where these elements are ( iiMir ! nt and incomplete fertilizer is used with success or the manure is balanced by the use of mineral fer tilisers , which arc termed lloats. Agricultural Epitisnisl. To Cure Canker in Canker sore mouth always api > ears in young pigs under six weeks old and frequently with fatal results. The symptoms are as follows : Large water blisters appear about the lips and -Miimt , rapidly succeeded by much heat and swelling of the parts , and later thick brown scabs appear , which open into deep cracks. These scabs extend over the face , head and even to the body and limbs , the joints of the latter becoming much swollen and Inflamed. Ulcers frequently form about the snout and jaws , eating the flesh from tlu bones. The pigs show dullness , a disinclination to move , often refuse to fi'-kle , cr to do so in a very half- he , irhnl nuihier. To be effective the treatment should be prompt and thorough Prepare a solution of permanganate of potash , which can be had at any drug store , using one ounce of the crystals dis solved in one gallon of water In a com mon pail. The young pigs should be dipped bend foremost into the solution and kept there for a brief time. Re peal Ibis 1\vo or thi"e times giving ; 'u p' time to catch Its breath IB the intermission. This treatment given every day for three or four days vrlll usually effect a cure If the trouble Is not of long standing. In extreme ca es where ulcers and heavy scabs have formed use two ounces of the permanganate to one gallon of water and before dipping remove all the dead a ml loose tissues that have been eaten awny. The sow's udder should be bathed freely with the solution each day. Ri ht War < o Use Siliijje. Silos have been abandoned in many cases because the milk became so bad ly tainted as to become unsalable. If the creameries and cheese factories were as particular as they should be they would condemn a great deal of the milk that is now accepted from silage-fed herds. This is not the fault of the silage ; It is the fault of the man who handles it. Silage has a very penetrative odor , which is taken up very quicldy by milk. If silage Is fed before milking the milk Is quito cer tain to become tainted. If the milk is allowed to stand a few minutes in the barn after milking and silage is fed while the cans are standing arouad the milk will bo tainted. If the staWd is not ventilated or is poorly ventilated the silage odors will linger in the stable and taint the milk. In aivunventilated stable the stable Itself will in time be come saturated or permeated with the silage odor and will taint the mllJc , no matter how the silage is handled. The corn Is frequently cut into the silo too green , which makes very sour sil age , with a strong odor. The silage Is frequently carelessly handled In the stable ; It Is scattered through the alleys and allowed to remain on the floors. In such instances the stable will be scented with the silage and the milk will be tainted. If good results are expected from silage it must be properly handled In the stable. First , silage must be fed only after milking. Second , the floors must be kept clean and no silage al lowed to accumulate in the alleys. Third , there should not be more silage fed than the stock will clean up at once. Fourth , the stable must be well ventilated. Fifth , corn should not be cut in too green. Sixth , don't feed moldly silage. From the foregoing it will be seen that silage must be more carefully handled than ordinary roughage. One cannot throw silage around as he might straw or hay and get satisfactory results. To get best results from sil age a little extra care must be exer cised all along the line , more care In filling silo , care In taking silage out care In handling silage In barn , care In ventilating stable and , withal , cleanli ness. If one Is not willing to give this extra care the silo Is best not built , for this is the price of success with silage. Silage properly put up and properly fed Is a very cheap and most excellent food ; Improperly put up and improperly fed It may be an expensive and hazardous experiment : I'\o had inarj R Rood thin ? taking ' y motor bout or.t for nn nil dm fishii < r trip.

I * to Invest In "Western Con a da. "Deep down In the nature of ever\ properly constituted man is the desire ( > own some land. " A writer in the Iowa State Register thus tersely ex- well-known truth. The proctjes a - ques tion is. Where is the best land to be had at the lowest prices ? and this thr > same writer points out in the F.ime .rtic's. Tw fact is not disguised that the writer has a personal interest in the statement of his case , and there is no hidden meaning when he refers to Western Canada as presenting greater possibilities than any other part of the American Continent to the man who is inclined to till the soil for a liveli hood and possible competence. What interests one are the arguments ad vanced by this writer , and when fair ly analyzed the conclusion is reached that no matter what personal interest the writer may have had bis reasons appear to have the quality of great Mjundness. The climatic conditions of Western Canada are fully as good as those of Minnesota , the Dakotas or Iowa , the productiveness of the soil is as great , the social conditions are on a parity , the laws are as well estab lished and as carefully observed. In addition to tbf " the price of land is Tnuch less , easier to secure. So , with these advantages , why shouldn't thi - the offer of Western Canada 'be ' em braced ? The hundreds of thousands of settlers now there , whose homos were originally in the United States , appear to be are satisfied. Once in a while complaints are heard , but the Canadians have never spoken of the country as an Eldorado , no matter what they may have thought. Thn writer happened to have at hand a f ° w letters , written by former residents of the United States , from which one H- two extracts are submitted.
