Ono great Improvement our farmers
have made In the last ten years Is In
growing less number OF acres Of grain
and cultivatlng It better. - ONO
Farmer.
Corn should not DO the main diet OF
the farmhouse. Its effect being to fatten
at the expense Of tho muscular develop
mcnt. Corn.fcd horses have to carry
too heavy q load Of fat to do their best
As work animals. Oats form the ideal
working diet for the horse.-M r. Err

The summer and Its labors arc over

Prairie Farmer.
We have seen young stock which
were worth twelve dollars In the fall.
sold in the spring for seven or eight
dollars, after having been fed through
the winter. It Is this sort OF bad man'
agcmcnt which has no doubt given rise
TO the general complaint that farming
does not pay."-Tororto dlobe.
Much unexplained illness In country
houses is caused by keeping fruit In the
cellar. II 1t must be kept there the

A correspondent of the Rural Rorlo
SAYS that when rust gets into planta'
ton the only remedy is to dig up anc
burn the plants - soon as the disease
shows itself, and II the patch is badly
affected the best thing to do Is to mo"
oil and plow up, and plant with Other
crops for few years. planting the new
patch in an entirely new place. The
spores of this minute fungus are blown
by the winds and spread. and neither
road dust, lime, salt nor sulphur la
the least effect.
One reason for draining out low
and wet places on the farm. which
perhaps has not entered into consider
alton as IL acknowledgements secan
writer on drainage-is that tho gres'
on these wet places Is less nutnt'ouI
than that which grows on dry and well
drained land. and stock does not evcl
eat II as well. The draining not only
increases the yield Of grass,fbot make
IL more nutritious and stocF will eat |
better. For these reasons swamp,
bottom lands and hill.sidcs should b.
well draincd.-7roy Times
