Formerly it was supposed that to grow
onions successfully certain soils, special
training and much experience were re-
CURED. To-day we claim onions can be
grown on any good corn land, and by any
good farmer.
There is no denying the fact that con-
siderable more horsepower is required
to use the loader though a good team Of
draft horses will handle a ton of hay and
the machine on most meadows. If the
ground is wet it will take more power.
1t is said that only four out of one
hundred who undertake the breeding
of pure-bred hogs for profit succeed.
This may be too small an estimate, but
there are many men who give the matter
of breeding too little thought and study
to make success of it.
The New Hampshire friends of their
new agricultural college, the buildings of
which are now being completed at Dur
ham, are bringing forward their present
secretary of their board of agriculture
for president of that institution. The
move is a sound one and would give an
unmistakable agricultural tip to the in
ssitution from the start.
We realize this winter something as to
what cold costs us in the way of feed.
Do we realize it sufficiently to make the
stables, pens and shelters of all kinds
thoroughly wind, snow and rain proof?
Perhaps some of us do; the rest of us
will require another severe lesson, per-
haps two or three more-in fact, there
are some who never will learn.
The butter extractor, for which so much
was claimed a few years ago. has not
been mentioned at any of the New Eng
land dairymens meetings held the past
winter, nor have we seen it noticed in any
of the reports of similar meetings else
where. Evidently this machine has not
yet been so perfected as to bring fol- ia
product satisfactory to the operators.
They turn out some big saw logs up in
| the northwest. A raft of logs was
! brought down the Skagit river and sold
at Tacoma, Wash, recently, which
scaled an average of 20, 200 feet of lumber
to each log. 1t is said by lnmbermen to
be doubtful if larger logs were ever got
into Puget Sound. The same dealer sold
a raft last July which averaged 24,O0O
feet in each log.

In handling a stallion do not be always
fighting him or abusing him. Treat him
kindly yet strictly. Do not allow him to
do wrong act unless you let him know
he did wrong. Correct him at once, but
don't expect HIM to act like a mare or a
gelding. Consider what he is and bear
with his uneasiness. If stations were
handled more quietly and corrected
mildly, you would find fewer of them
ugly.

merly believed that these teeth caused
blindness, was induced to examine the
mouths of large number of horses to

ion of the veterinary profession, founded
on many years of experience, should
