that no living man can affirm or denv

be determined without extraordinary
OUTLAWS that would include a vast num-
Der OF horses for years Of time. When
corn Is shown for months of time to
maintain the weight of horses better
than oats; when the horses themselves
appear to be IN as vigorous and
healthy condition; when digestion ex-
psriments show corn to be nearly n
third more digestible than oats; when
The heat or energy producing power Of
corn is shown to be for its available
parts per one hundred pounds one
third greater than oats, and when it is
remembered that energy is what we
desire to get out of food, is it not fair
to assume pound for pound corn is at
least as valuable as oats for horses for
the productions of work? Under such
conditions is it wise, on the mere opin-
ion of an observer, to feed a more cost
ly ration day by day for years, in the
vague expectation that in the end the
horses will have either longer life or
period of more vigorous action? For
ourselves, we answer the question in
favor of corn, using part ration of it
only. Our horses are worked substan-
TALLY all the time.-Rural World.

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The Old Fashioned Gobbler Gives Place to
Medium-Sized Bird.

The Old Fashioned Gobbler Gives Place to
Medium-Sized Bird.
All commission merchants agree that
it is the medium-sized turkeys that sell
the most readily and are the most
profitable. The birds should dress
eight, ten or twelve pounds according
to the proportion of toms and hens,
they say, and should look plump and
clean. These birds are the first Sc
lected, and the others go off more
slowly. At over fourteen pounds re-
duction in the price is demanded, while
birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are
almost unstable at greatly reduced
rates.
OF course there is some demand for
large turkeys for hotels and boarding
houses, but the private family will
have none of them, for two excellent
reasons: First, the oven in the average
city house is too small to accommodate
such lordly bird, and, secondly, the
size of the family not being in proper
ton, It's members would rebel at the
turkeys too frequent appearance at
meals. 1t would be well for the tur-
key raiser to keep both these points In
view and regulate the size Of his birds
accordingly. He will save In feed and
get better returns for his flock. The

Absorptiva Power of Soils.

The greater prevalence of droughts
as the country grows older is partly
owing to the fact that soils long Guilt
waited do not hold water as they do
when full of vegetable matter. This
is especially true where the soil is
heavy and has at some time been
worked while wet 1t often requires
years of cultivation with winter freez-
ing and thawing to fully break up the
clods made by blowing when the
ground is saturated with water. The
pillow presses particles of clay soil to-
gether instead of pulverizing them. If
they are narrowed while wet the clay
sticks to the harrow and but little
good is done. If the soil is undrained
these clods will remain for years, as
the saturated soil freezes solid at the
surface and thus prevents the deep
freezing needed for pulverization. Fall
blowing is beneficial for land in this
condition. World.

are especially fitted up for cattle,
horses, pigs and poultry. and all of
these are well stocked There is a
dairy equipped with the modern APP
pliances for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes seed-test-
ing and propagation house and Q con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated In other parts of Canada, and
these carry on experiments In agricul-
ture, horticulture and arboriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated so as to render them as
helpful as possible to the most thickly-
populated districts, and In their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff of workers at the central
experimental farm includes director,
an agriculturist, horticulturist, a
botanist, an entomologist and chem
list. There are also poultry manager,
q foreman of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members of the
staff. The work IS varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Cam
ada. The adaptability and merits of
various varieties of wheat are, for ex-
ample, the subject Of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature of the diseases of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages Of
insects. Various varieties of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive value with different soils and crops.
The study of the care of animals is a
very important interest, and the value
of different breeds of stock and their
adaptability to various climates and
other conditions are carefully investi-
gated. These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides of butter
and cheese making. Experiments are
carried on to determine the best meta
DDS of planting and pruning trees for
fruit raising or for shelter or timber.
The information gained in all this
work Is carefully recorded and pub
lished for general distribution.-Scien

NATURAL INCUBATION.
How to Treat the Hens During the Period
OF Matching.

How to Treat the Hens During the PerioC
OF Matching.
If you wish to use hens to do the In
cubating it is good plan to have a
room separate from the main house
with not too much light Make an
effort to set as many hens at a time as
possible 1t will require but little more
time and care to look after six hens
than it will one. Two or three days is
none too long for the hen to sit on
china or nest eggs before giving the
ones yoa wish her to hatch. She will
have become accustomed to the place,
will have shaped the nest to her notion,
and will have it nice and warm. Give
each hen as many eggs as she can con,
veniently cover Watch them care
fullyStor two or three days to see that
there'are no eggs left to get cold. Dur
ing the first As hours the hen should
sit perfectly quiet, says poultryman,
as it takes just that time to start the
embryo chick on its life voyage. We no.
tice the hen seldom leaves the nest or
turns the egg during this time. After
they have sat quietly for four or five
days, prepare yourself with more fresh
eggs, and go in the evening with a
good light and tester and test each egg.
A little practice will soon enable you
to pick out the infertile ones When
you have completed your work, give
each hen the number you wish her to
cover Fair sized hens should have IL,
never more than Is. On the average,
hens will hatch more vigorous chicks
from II eggs than any higher number.
We might go on through the 81 days
and describe the eggs as we have
broken them and seen the spider-like
little animal, and noticed the pulsa-
tiqn of the heart, etc., but we will
leave this for the incubator people.
Finally on the Goth day the impris-
oned chick has drawn Its last nutri-
ton from the egg, Its vital heat and
circulating blood have absorbed every
particle of the substance of the egg,
and there remains only the vigorous
little animal anxious to get out. Its
prison cell is punctured by thousands
OF pores that always break first at the
bigger end of the egg, because 1t Is al
ways less moist and more brittle at
that end. There, too, the head of the
little chick Is turned for air, and the
beak breaks through the rotten wall,
finds more fresh air, presses hard in
that direction, and soon breaks away
from all feeble resistance, and thus
ends the period of It's incubation.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

HoT meals are stimulus to poultry.
They warm them up.
KEROSENE applied to the legs is a
good remedy for scaly legs
OLD mortar, gravel or granulated
bone are preventives Of soft-shelled
eggs.
UNLESS there is some variety of food
the appetites of the hens will not be
maintained In the best vigor.
To MAKE the poultry business pay
largely It must be carried on on large
scale. One hundred or 200 hens will
not make anybody rich.
TIE first cause of canker Is general
ly cold, but II taken In time can be
easily cured by removing the hard,
cheesy substance with stick or any
thing that will not cut, then applying
sub-sulphate of iron to the parts af-
fected. 4 nm sReilssAssss w. ~

GOOD THING TO HAVE,
Poultry House for Large Flock, wit
Underneath Rum.

Poultry House for Large Fleck, with
Underneath Run.
The design is to show house that
may be extended to 200 feet or more.
The fowls are given the upper story
for roosting, the lower portion being a
scratching-place.
The house should be IL feet wide, 8
feet high for the lower story and s
feet for the upper story.
The object is to permit OF blowing
the ground floor of the lower story
with one-horse pillow, for an extended
building. The idea may be novel one,
but the plan will save much labor. OF
course, such house Is more expensive
than some others, but IL affords COM
plete protection from storms in the
winter and gives shade IN summer, the
blowing turning the filth and drop
pings under.
Inclined steps leading to the upper
portion are not shown, but can be ar
ranged according to preference, ~ may
