the present century, and should be
regarded as indispensable to the well

the earnings and general condition Of
the Manitoba railroad for the year
ending June 80, as published I'm the
Pioneer Press yesterday. 1t was an
ticipated that, in consequence of its
loss of much of its extensive traffic
with Manitoba and the Canadian
Pacific has adopted it's hostile policy,
and ofits large reduction of rates dur
ing the past year, the report for this
year would show large reduction of
net earnings. But while the gross
EARNINGS have been 1915, 600 less than
last year, the expenses have been so
largely reduced that the company re-
ports dividend of 81 300, 900, against
81 800, 900 last year, and balance to
income account of $1.052, 900 against
$992, 220 last year. Considering the
universal depression in the railroad
business of the country during the
past year, this is wonderful showing.
Pioneer Press.
The expressions of surprise referred
to in the above paragraph do not come
from the people living along the line
of this wonderful Manitoba road.
They have felt the burden of it's high
tariff rates and expect to see the stock
holders pocketing just such comfor-
table dividends as the one named
above. True, reductions have been
made In freight rates but they are
still exorbitantly high and should be
still farther diminished.
American Miller: We look upon
the short wheat Drop of 1885 in some
sense as q blessing. We could almost
wish it were calamity to the farmer.
And for this reason: A few repeti-
tons of this experience might teach
him to put his fertile fields into some
thing else beside wheat. What this
country needs is more diversified
agriculture. That means more corn,
rye, oats; more cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry, in word more meat, more
vegetables, more tobacco, more. tibrous
plants-and less of wheat and cotton.
Agriculture is not changing with the
changes going on in every other di-
rection of the worlds progress. And
we regret to say millers do not rotate
as much as they might with profit to
themselves, either. We need more
diversified milling; more, and better
corn milling, rye milling, oat milling
that the taste of the people may be
educated to the value of such food
products. And here is another con-
sideration, viewing the hope of such
things, in this light: We cannot ex-
pect in the future to get rid of as much
wheat and wheat flour through an ex-
port demand. Hence gradual con-
traction in the margins on wheat rails
ing and wheat milling. So it were
well to look after the rotation in
agriculture and milling as soon as
possible. It's hardly fair thing in
land like this that bread should be SO
cheap and meat SO dear,

The Glencoe Register thinks that
the farmer who threshes his wheat
from the shock this year will make q
very bad mistake. On account of the
extremely hot weather the grain has
ripened in less than half the time re-
quired to make the plump, hard ber-
ry. IF in its present condition it is
threshed from the shock, it will not
only shrink badly but it Will be next
to impossible to keep it from heating.
1t should be neatly stacked and al
lowed to go through the sweating pro-
cess. This will make No. l of most
of the present crop.

There are many cases in which farm
horses need no shoes in the summer,
and would be better without them. A
horse owned by the writer, had hard,
dry hoofs, and contracted feet, which
was caused by natural tendency, in
creased by shoeing with high calks.
For want of use, the frog had withered
away, and the horse was always lame.
The shoes were taken off, and tips
only, were used. These were thin
plates, reaching around the fore half
of the hoofs only, to protect the toes
from wearing away. The frog and
the heels thus came to the ground at
every step; the bars were able to
spread, and the proper functions of
the feet, to preserve healthful action
and growth, were given full play.
The horse soon became sound, the
frog grew BEAUTIFULLY, and the feet
were in perfect order, while the ex-
pense of shoelng was greatly reduced.

Minneapolis Journal: a Texas
lawyer has shown the well known
unreliability of public petitions by de-
delivering to the court solemn
prayer, signed by all the most promi-
nent citizens of the place, for the
hanging of a respected resident. Or
course the signers who included the
intended Victims own relatives had
not the slightest idea of the nature of
the petition, but no more do hundreds
ofother people who sign other petitions
almost as foolish every day. Perhaps
the widespread publication ofthe story
will tend to discourage somewhat this
promiscuous petition business which
is generally idiotic anyhow.

A farmer of Blue Earth county writ
lug about the chinch bug, says: "By
sowing red clover, at the rate of about
three pounds per acre, the bug did
not damage the grain where it was
sown. They like dry loose soil to work
in, and the clover tends to keep the
ground moist. We used to SOW it for
fall feed for cows. for which it more
than pays the outlay for the seed.
We continued sowing in that way and
blowing it under every fall, by which
means we greatly enriched our soil:
so YOU see we derived three benefits
from one outlay. Try it brother farm
ers you will find that you will not
lose anything by so doing"

The Rural Canadian says: A scrub
heifer bred to thoroughbred bull for
her first calf, and then repeatedly
bred to the same bull will improve in
her breeding so that each succeeding
calf will be better than the preceding
one land this to a greater extent than
ifshe had been bred to different bulls,
though equally good and of the same
blood. This rule holds good with
horses and sheep as we'll rs cattle.
Stick pin right here. If you are
breeding cattle get good bull and
keep him. If you calculate to breed
Durhams, do so; if Holsteins or any
other breed, do so; but don't breed, to
Durham bull one year and Holstein
the next. You must stick to the one
thing if you expect to breed good
grades of either, and more than this
a cow that has been once bred to a
scrub bull if bred promiscusly to diff
ferent bulls, even of the same breed,
will never produce as good calves as
she would if bred several times in
succession to the same individual bull.

There may be some advantage in
permitting weeds to grow on the stub
bles, with the intention of blowing
them in, provided they are not left
long enough to ripen their seeds. A
bare fallow, in which the soil is ex-
posed to the sun and rains, is injuri-
GUS to the land; it is far better to have
the soil covered with some kind of
vegetation, if it Is nothing but the
prevalent summer weeds. Every
crop of weeds plowed in, lessons the
stock of weed seed in the soil, and
does so much toward cleaning the
land, if care is exercised to bury the
the weeds before the seeds are formed.
An excellent method of covering the
weeds is to loop chain from the plow
beam, so that it gathers the strip of
weeds on the furrow slice, and as this
turns, drags the weeds into the furrow
where they are covered in completely,
and buried where they will soon de-
cay and enrich the soil.

The farmer, who suspects case of
abortion in his heard, should at once
isolate the COW. She should not only
be separated, but lett un-served for
nine months. To allow her to be bred
again before that period has elapsed,
might in some cases be safe, but it is
certainly safer to wait that long. A
COW, that has once aborted, is almost
sure to repeat the performance, with
all its attendant dangers to her COM
panions, if bred too soon. 1t would
no doubt, be better as a rule, to fatten
and kill such COW, as soon as can be
dried off, The quality of the milk in
questionable. For our own use, we
prefer that of healthy cows. Still the
milk is good to feed calves. Many a
cow, too valuable to kill, is thus af-
fected, and by waiting patiently, amid
healthful surroundings, is perma-
nently cured. To get such a cow in
calf, and sell her to work mischief is
the herd of the purchaser, is criminal,
and should be, if possible, prevented
by heavy specific penalties. No doubt,

see that the question of an extra
session is being agitated in our section
somewhat. I am convinced that this

at regular sessions next year?

The season of autumnal droughts
and short pasturage always brings
lots of sheep upon the market, which
their ownors conclude not to winter,
and that may often be very profitably
bought. Sheep of good constitution,
with good teeth, and healthy, may. be
safely bought, if one has feed for them
which he wishes to convert into
manure In the easiest and cheapest
way. For instance, large oat-grow-
er has straw which will, carry quite
flock through the season. If he
buys ewes that have had lambs this
year, and has them served early, by q
long-wool or Down ram though thin
now, they will rapidly pick up and
probably give him one hundred and
twenty-five per cent of lambs.
