Wild COllies.

The dog has not hitherto been classed
among the wild animals of Canada but
it would not be altogether wrong to
put him into that category. A Mani
toba paper, the Western Prairie,
vouches and accounts for the presence
of wild dogs in Canada. They live in
the great woods of the Turtle Noun
tains. and are collies that are wonder
fully fleet and wild and watchful, and
are fast increasing in numbers. They
belonged at one time to the half-breed
population, but have renounced even
that measure of civilization and be-
come quite wild. They live by catch
ing and devouring rabbits, and protect
themselves from the cold by burrow-
ing in the ground, just as wolves do,
generally selecting situation protect
ed by brushwood or fallen timber. Set
tiers are in the habit of capturing the
young puppies, when den can be
found. The pups are easily tanned, and
prove superior dogs, as they combine
the qualities Of civilized and wild dog
nature. They possess amazing swift
ness, energy and intelligence, and are
obedient and self-reliant.

Il has been shown by experience that
the time to cut cereals for hay Is about
midway between the milk and the
dough-that means, that the milk
which is found on squeezing the young
kernel must be considerably thickened,
and at the same time not thick enough
so that the substance which issues by
the same pressure is like dough, says
Pacific Rural Press. There is naturally
some difference Of opinion among
growers on this subject, because it is
a matter which may not be definitely
settled by description, but must be de-
termined by judgment and experience.
Probably the people you have consult
ed differ rather in their description
than in their conception of the state
or condition which they wish to de-
scribe. If the grain is cut too early
that is, when the kernel contains moth
ing but milk-part of the nutritive sub
stance is lost. because the straw has
not reached sufficient maturity; on the
other hand. if it is left until the kernel
becomes like dough. too much of the
nutriment has gone to the grain. The
secret of success lies in taking it just
midway between these two extremes
that is, when the plant has taken all
that it can from the soil and at the
same time has not transferred the nu-
triment to the kernel and hardened the
tissue Of the straw. 1t is unquestion-
ably true that most hay is cut little
too late; and that greater weight and
greater amount of nutriment can be
obtained by cutting little earlier than
is usually done. In the case Of barley
it is also desirable to cut a little ear
lier than wheat. because as the plant
natures the boards become sitter and
more likely to injure stock in feeding.

E. G. Lodeman in Department of Ag-

Medoc espalier or the low horizontal
system of Bordeaux, France, is one
which gives excellent results upon GER
tain light soils Of that famous region.
The stem of the vine is not more than
ten or twelve inches in height (see IL
lustration), and at its summit are two
short arms with spurs. The canes are
cut back each year to one or two buds.
and the shoots which grow from these
are trained horizontally, one or two
on each side of the stem, to a strip of
wood or to a wire which extends along
the rows at a distance of only 10 or Is
inches from the ground. A post is or
dinarily placed midway between the
adjoining vines of the same row, and
the horizontal supports are fastened to
them. When the shoots have grown
30 long that they reach these posts.
the growing tips are pinched off; this
forces many Of the axillary buds OF
the shoots into growth. and when these
iaterals have grown about foot they

Early Marketed sheep.

AS it is no objection against lambs
sent to market under a year that they
have not been castrated, there is no
reason why this operation should be
performed on them, says an exchange.
1t is even a question whether it would
not be best to market all the male
sheep. while lambs, and under year
old. and so get rid of this extra work
and risk. a two-year-Old wether is not
so profitable as ten-month- old lamb.
Under present conditions of the live
stock business, the earlier any animal
goes to market the more money it
brings to the seller for the expense
of rearing it. The wether is now
thing Of the past, if we are to consider
the profit of it after having been fed
two winters. The most profitable sheep
now is that which has never known
what winters snow or cold is. and
goes to market the same year it is
born. If horned cattle are the most
salable at two or three years old,
sheep should be the same under one
year of age. Then we may no longer
run the risks, or go to the labor of cas-
trating the male lambs.

Rich Soil Of Cuba.-The state de-
partment has just issued a timely and
interesting report from our late con-
sui at Santiago de Cuba. The islands
crea. he says, about equals the state
Of Pennsylvania. and its productive
soil, mineral wealth and climatic con-
ditions entitle it to rank among the
foremost communities of the world.
fhe soil is marvel of richness. and
fertilizers are seldom used, unless in
the growth of tobacco, even though the
same crops are grown on the same
land for hundred years. as has hap
pened in some of the old sugar cane
falds. The mountains are of coral for

to be composed largely of fossils of sea
matter from prehistoric times, and is

right standing laterals. In the Medoc
espalier the grapes are borne near the
ground, and this is supposed to have
beneficial effect upon the quality of
the fruit; the temperature surrounding
the berries is said to he higher. both
in the daytime and at night, thar. is
the case with grapes borne upon high
or trellises. Some of the finest and
most expensive wines of Europe are
produced from grapes grown in this
careful and painstaking manner, for
the yields per acre from such vines are
not very large. This system is also
employed upon soils which require
larger trellises, but the general plan
remains the same.
The Annis System. Probably the
kystem which is adopted in Annia,
Lower Charentc France, brings the
shoots nearer to the ground than re-
suits from any other horizontal train
ing. The canes are each year cut back
severely, and as they are borne upon
branches that rest almost upon the sur
face Of the soil the new growths start
from a very low elevation. These
shoots are not tied upright, but they
spread out horizontally, occupying a
circular area which may be from to
feet il diameter. As a rule they are
not supported so as to keep the foliage
and fruit above the surface of the soil;
and they have, therefore. sprawlcd in
treatment is followed by serious injury

suited. The system has Ii,tIe to rec
ommend it. except the almost total alb

Whitewash Spray-A farmer in
Iowa tried the plan of spraying his
peach trees in the winter with common
whitewash, to save the buds, as was
advised by the Missouri Experiment
Station. Having eight trees in a
bunch, he sprayed four of them as di.
rected, four times each. Two were
sprayed twice and two were not spray
ed at all. He now reports to a Missouri
paper that the four are bouquets of
bloom. The two sprayed but twice are
not as full, and those not sprayed at
all have scarcely bloom on them He
says he will spray them all hereafter.
We think he may find that those spray
ed twice will set as much fruit as he
should allow them to bear, but it is
better to have to thin out some than
not to have any. "A surplus is easier
to handle than deficit" said a former
mayor of New York city.-Ex.

American Corn in English Bread -

fact that the maize meal, though for
the most part not quoted either by
milling or baking journals, has a very
large and steady s@le, a fact, too, that
many mills have been adapting their
machinery to grinding it. The first

Poisoning Grasshoppers and Lo-
custs.-The United States consul in
Erzerum calls the attention of farmers
in the United States to some expert
Natal in poisoning the locusts which
so often devastate those regions. The
preparation is made by mixing one
pound of caustic potash with boiling
water, and as soon as the soda is dis
solved adding one pound of arsenic.
Care must be taken that the fumes he
not inhaled. Half a gallon of this is
then mixed with four gallons of water
and ten pounds Of sugar. The stuff is
then spashed by use of white-wash
brush on any herbage visited by the
locugts. The insects cat the poisonous
compound and die.

Gradually we are shaking of the
yoke of superstition We have regard
ed it as almost sinful to eat the flesh
of the horse, but we cat the flesh of tho
hog without thought. The food OF this
horse is always clean grain and hay.
food clean enough to put into our OWN
mouths could we but digest it, willis
the food of the hog is swill and scav-
enger food quite generally. There is
no reason why We should not make 4
practice Of shipping horse flesh to for
eign countries if they desire it, and de-
sire it they do. If we could work off {"
few hundred thousand poorly bred
horses in this way it would be goot
thing for the American farmer, even
if he had to sell them without profit.
,,ot much financial gain could be ex"
pected. but to dispose of them for
something would be better than shoot
ing them and leaving them to the
crows 1t has been a frequent occur
renee to shoot even young horses when
they could not be sold. We remember
Of one man that a few years ago ship
ped a carload of horses to the Kansas
City market. They did not bring the
freight and he was lamenting that he
had not taken them out into the back
lot and shot and buried them Poorly
bred horses should be disposed of at
the first opportunity.

Sailing Cows Regularly.-Now that
COWS are turned out to pasture. care
should be taken to give them regular
supplies Of salt. The best way is to
place some rock salt in sheltered
place where they can lick it at will.
Some salt is found by analysis in milk.
1t is curious fact that SO long as the
calf's food is chiefly milk it has no
craving for salt, This craving begins
when the calf begins to eat grass and
other vegetables, all of which REQUIRE
some salt to aid in their Digestion
Cows that are salted only irreguarly
give less milk than they should. r.l
what they do give furnishes cream
