of farming. The great extent and
original eheapness OF ouf farming lands
have been a detfinent to us agsieul-

S125 an acre, and even less, added to the
original claim as rapidly as possible,
and engaged in farming "all out doors"
Almost necessarily such farming is
loosely done. When there are but few
acres under cultivation, they must be
made to produce what we need, and
they can be with less expenditure of
time and effort. The English farmer
compels his few acres to yield as much
of our many acres do, because his sys-
tenn is more perfect. The farms of the
future will be smaller. The time will
come-after we are gone-when herds
will not rove over great fields, but will
be soiled; when the wheat and corn
crops will be made to more than double
the present average yield, and when
farming will be less irksome beca use it's
operation will be more contracted in
every respect. If these things will be
profitable and desirable then, why
would they not be profitable and de-

REMEDY FOR GAPES
1t IL Always Effective and Can BE
Applied Without Danger to the
Youngest Birds,

There are several remedies for
gapes, but the difficulty is that some
times the chicks must be handled. The
difficulty occurs mostly on farms upon
which fowls have been kept for years.
1t is caused by collection of small,
threadlike worms in the windpipe of
the chicken. 70 kill these worms and
not injure the chicken is laborious.
Take glass tube with a small rubber
bulb (Which apothecaries sell for a
"medlcine-dropper''), half fill it with
camphorated oil, and inserting the tip
in the windpipe, discharge the oil. A
small oil can used for sewing machines
may serve in place of the medicine
dropper. Operate as follows: Place the
chicken back down between your knees
and hold it gently; open the bill and
draw the tongue. Seize the lower man
dible and tongue thus drawn out be-
tween the forefnger and thumbnail of
the left hand. This will bring into view
the opening into the windpipe at the
base OF the tongue, into which gently
insert the tube and discharge the oil.
using about one drop. Close the bill
and hold the head still for a few seq
onds~ Then let the chicken go, and it
will cough, spattering some of the oil
out, but enough remains to destroy The,
worms, and they will be coughed uty
and swallowed The gapes continue for
some time after the treatment, but the,
remedy will be eifectual i'm every case

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

It is rarely safe to risk going
through the summer without good
forage crop.
If you like greens, use the young
beets, tops and all, taken out in thin
ming the crop.
If the clover that is expected to
make seed is being pastured care must
be taken not to Craze down too close.
Having the soil fine and mellow and
stirring frequently will aid materially
in retaining the moisture in the soil.
The sugar corn will ear better If not
too much crowded. 1t needs sun and
air around it to grow it to perfection.
With nearly all crops the later the
seed is planted the deeper it should be
covered, especially if the ground is dry.
All reasonable care should be taken
to have the cultivated crops in the best
condition possible before harvesting
begins.
Some weeds seem to hold possession
of the land persistently, but when they
are kept down by frequently cutting off
the tops it is but matter of time be-
fore they will die, as every cutting
causes exhaustion.-Western Plowman.

Coppee's Unplayed Play

It was some 25 years after the Com.
mune had reigned in France that Fran
co.'s Coppee suffered the greatest disap-
pointment of his life. His play, called
"The Pater," was submitted to the
readers for the Comedie Francaise, and
accepted; it had successfully passed
through the various ordeals through
which play must go before it finally
appears at the famous theater, and the
preparation for its production had
been completed, even to the final re
hearsals of the artists, when the gov
ernment interfered and interdicted it.
The French were still so sensitive on
the. subject of the Commune that the
authorities refused to allow the pro.
duction of play dealing with an inc,.
dent of that time. The managers Of the
theater were enraged, the artists in de-
spair, and everyone was in panic over
the affair except Coppee, who admitted
that he was thunderstruck. and that
the failure to have his play produced at
the Comedie Franchise dashed one OF
the ambitions Of his life. He assumed
disdainful air. however, was sarcastic
at the expense Of government tha,
was afraid OF . one-act drama, and an.

order the play was forbid dden, expected
that the author would plead fora -

way, should be light and small in guam

WHEN TO CUT Hay.
No Rule Can De Laid Down That Might
Not Re Subject to Important
M0difica tiOns.

As a general proposition it is best
to cut hay just as it is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifca-
tions according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock. For horses it is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that lone strong objection that
works against the early cutting of hay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper of livery stable,
because, as he would say, he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
laxative quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through a
process of sweating, which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay
is at the time it is put in the barn, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the NOW. By October the
process is completed, so that the hay
is fit for use, provided it was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
of hay made from young grass, as
rowen, for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since it is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
stumble.''
Such is the opinion of Storer How
far it is borne out in the experience of
western farmers is rather difficult to
say.-Farmers' Review.

Oats for Young Lambs.

A healthy, thrifty lamb will very soon
require more food than the limited
amount which it's dam furnishes, and
when not more than week old will
begin to pick at hay or clover as it sees
it's dam doing. This is an indication
that it needs additional food. Clover
hay is excellent, but it should be sup
plemented by feed of half a gill of oats
given morning and night. There is no
better nutrition for growing animals
than oats. It will enable them to eat
and digest other food and put them in
the way of being thrifty all the rest of
their lives, until their teeth are too
much worn by use to masticate we'll.

The Value of Warmth.

Both adults and chicks love warmth.
The hens will select the sunny spots,
especially if protected against the
winds Oh damp or cold days, while
even on the warmest days of July the
chicks will nestle under the hen. Should
heavy shower suddenly come up, and
the chicks appear dead, place them near
stove, or in an oven of moderate heat,
and notice how quickly the apparently
dead chicks will come to life again.
Heat is the great ife-giving element.
Should disease of any kind appear al
ways provide a dry and warm place.
There is no remedy for roup that equals
warmth, not that warmth will cure it.
but warmth invigorates the fowl and
enables it to withstand the ordeal
