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

accomplish what abuse never can.
It is by trying that men become ex

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

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

WHY NOT OWN LAND ?
One of tli > Best IVsiys to Make
Mono ? 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. These

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills , wouldn't
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Red Banks , Miss. "Words are inadequate to express
IJydia E. Piiikluun's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I
suffered from a female disease and weakness \vLicli the doc
tors said was caused by a iibroid tumor , and I commenced to
think there was 110 help for me. JLydia IS. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound made me a Avell woman after all other means had
failed. My friends are all asking1 what has helped me so much ,
and I gladly recommend L/ydia , E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. " Mrs , Willie Edwards.
Hampstead , Maryland. - " Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound i was weak and nervous , and could not
be on my feet half a day Avithout suffering. The doctors told
me I never would be well without an operation , tout Lydia E.
Piukham's Vegetable Compound has done more for me than all
the doctors , and I hope this valuable medicine may come into
the hands of many more suffering women. " Mrs. Joseph H.

We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will

or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials , c/r that the letters are published without
their permission , or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited.
What more proof can any one ask ?
For SO years L.ydia E. Piiikham's Vegetable
