LIVE STOCK MARKET

Northern and Eastern Beef Cattle
Ihe supply consisted Of a few beef cows.
one buyer was looking for a few hea 4
suitable for shipment, but left ea rIy,
without making a purchase. The few
Deef COWS offered were taken by local
sIaughterers. No quotations.
Mich Cows and Springers-The sup
ply was large and the demand SLOW.
Drovers are looking for lower prices
The difficulty is that too many poar
COWS are coming in. Good cows are SELL
ing so slowly that buyers will hardly
look at the inferior ones.
Veal Calves-Under heavier supplies
the market was much easier. Buyers
wanted calves and took all offered. but
at a price fully nc lower than they paid
last week. The high values of last week
made drovers anxious to get all the
calves they could to market They
brought too many and the result was
lower prices.
Sheep and Lambs-The supply was
larger than for some time, but all offer
1ngs were taken at steady prices. Nice
choice lambs seem to be wanted and are
making good prices but sheep move
slowly. Prices range 4h@5%c
Western Beef Cattle-The western
markets are holding steady. Good choice
l4OO-Ib beeVeS are much wanted and any
offerlng are commanding good prices.
The receipts were almost wholly for
Slaughterers, none being offered for sale
SWine-NOrthern and eastern hogs are
coming IN more freely, but there is a good
demand and prices are rather better
AZ @5c being the range, with the outside

THE POETIC aPROVINCES.n

The popularity of sthe Provinces
is ntly on the increase, and in
terest in them on the part of intend
| ing tourists is by no means confined
| to the east. Indeed, many people are
| nowadays journeying from the central
and far W western portions of the Unit
ed States to Nova Scotia, New Bruins
wick and Prince Edward Island, there
to find sweet relief from the heat and
monotony of the interior, as well as
to revel in conditions of social life,
climate and scenery entirely different
from those they have been accustom-
ed to.
Even in the case Of New Englanders
thousands of whom make their sum-
mer headquarters in the Maritime
Provinces-the change in these re-
spects is marked one, and largely
explains the popularity of this favor
ed part Of the continent with our own
people. There is potent attraction
about this delightfully."- cool invigorat-
ing and romantic region, especially in
that part of it known as sthe land of
Evangeline," that invariably makes
one visit to it the precursor of dozens
more.
August and September are two of
the best months in which to make
trip to tt e provinces. The season is
trif1e later than, in New England,
and the rock grit British possessions
are then in the height of their cIimat
ic glory. A tour by rail to st. John,
River, across the Bay of Fundy to
Digby, the Annapolis Valley, the
"Evangeline" country, Halifax, and,
if possible, to Cape Breton and Prince
Edward Island-this trip, or any part
of it, will prove most delightful and
instructive vacation experience to
any sincere lover Of ut-door life. ~
The expenditure of a two cent pos
tage stamp is all that is necessary in
order to possess ones self of any de-
sired information respecting these
provincial tours, their cost, duration,
etc. The passenger department of
the Boston & Maine Railroad, Union
Station, Boston, will make prompt
and full reply to any such inquiries;
and it is scarcely necessary to, add
that the facilities for ''getting there"
offered this season by the Boston &
Maine represent the acme Of comfort
and CELEBRITY.

In no other way do farm horses sui
fer so much as from being inadequate
" watered. They are compelled to
work steadily for five full hours each
half day in the boiling sun with no
water. The farmer is very careful
when he goes to the field to see that
his jug of drinking water is not left
behind and he drinks often if the day
is hot, but it never enters his head
that his horse is a sweating animal
and in proportion to his body has
smaller stomach than himself and
needs to drink as often. Not only is
it humane to provide water for horses
but it pays. The sweating process IS
a cooling one. This is natures way
of counteracting the heat and when
water is given in sufficient quantity
to sustain the sweat the horse can do
more work with safety. It is but little
trouble to give drink two or three
times each half day and any man who
will try the experiment will never
abandon it.

OUR FARMERS.
FARM NOTES.

Every animal on the farm should be
made to pay his own bills and part
of it's owners If it does not, it should
be got rid of, unless it is kept for fun.
Turn your milk cans upside down
only long enough to allow them to
drain; then leave them right side up
or on their sides in the fresh air, and
you will have clean, sweet cans.
When a shortage in cattle is establ-
ished it cannot be overcome III a
single season. It will be wise to keep
some stock growing, and SO be pre-
pared to take advantage OF the better
prices when they do come.
No other possesses to such degree
as does stable manure the power to
restore worn soil to productiveness,
and vet. Notwithstanding it's value, It's
waste through carelessness is so com
mon as to hardly cause comment.
Put off until tomorrow what you
can not do well today. Drive your
work, and do not let it drive you, but
do no more than you can do we'll. Ii
your neighbor puts in twenty acres OF
corn roughly, you would better put in
ten properly.
If but a small crop of strawberries
has been produced from vigorous
vines. and the beds are kept free
from weeds grass, then the second
year. and even the third year, may
be profitable, depending Of course, on
season, fertility, cultivation, etc.
Successful farming includes dorl-
culture and horticulture. The man
who confines his work solely to the
production of the coarser products of
the earth may succeed in making
money, but he will never get that
complete satisfaction which is OBJ
tainable from his occupation.
It is not so much question as to
whether it will pay to NOV the fence
rows, as to whether you can afford to
let that part of the farm become I'M
kempt and the weeds go to seed.
Now it twice if you have time; other
wise, NOW it once, later on than this
season of the year.

1t seems not very difficult to draw
the line in this matter of farm i'm
proyements between those that al
ford the farmer pleasure and those
that yield profit. The farmer who
is dependent upon his yearly income
for support will need to adopt the lat
ter class, while he who has sufficient
capital to do things without regard to
an immediate financial return Will be
able to make more extensive i'm
