He Found Him in Such .
Position.

This young fellow is engaged to pretty
Detroit girl, but they don't care to publish
the bans until after Lent. This disturbs
an irascible old uncle of hers, who has
a daughter of his own, too much after his
own style to be favorite. He took it upon
himself to send for the young man the 9th
er day.
Are you going to marry that niece Of
mine?" he asked, sternly, when they were
alone in the inner Office.
Pardon me, sir, but must decline to
answer. She has father and mother,
and I'm on good terms with them. I fail
to see that it is your affair

A man and wife enter the theater. As
soon as they are seated and she digs around
for the hat pins and removes her hat they
look at each other smilingly and seem, to
onlookers, to be carrying on an animated
conversation. Here's what they're really
saying:
Husband-Your hairs crushed and plas-
tered down in front like a dago BARRIERS.
Can't you give it swipe that'll-
Wife-Unreasonable thing! How can you
expect me to have my hair all fluffy and

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town 60
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. w.
Dreamer, one of the municipalities
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1850 acres.
In common with many others of
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market IA
cilities. In no wise daunted, by en-
ergy, industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success, and is known through
out the district as one aof it's preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy; 800 acres
of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off crop of
500 acres of wheat and 200 of other
grains. Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Dreamer is, as has been
stated, mixed farmer of no mean
proportions, having at the present
time 40 horses, go head of cattle and
so pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being a barn IS
81 ln%
containing stabling for 16 horses and
large number of cattle. The loft
is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary, in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house, pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions, in connection with it is
wood shed. The water supply is I'M
excelled; besides house supply there
is we'll in the stables and a never
failing spring situate in bluff, which
never freezes. Surrounded by thick
bluff of poplars, extending in semi
circle to the west, north and east,
the winter storms are broken and ac-
emulation of snow unknown. Added
to his farming operations, Mr.. Cream
er conducts threshing outfit for the
season. His success is only one in
stance of what can be accomplished
in Western Canada-Baldur (Man.)
Gazette, Nov. 10th, $780,.
Thousands are going to Western
Canada this year to take advantage of
the free homestead laws that are be-
ing offered by the government.

MULCHING ORCHARDS
The Only Mulch They Should Receive
II That Made by the Harrow
and CultivatOr,

It is common thing for the farmer
with a surplus of straw to be at loss
what TO do with it, and for him to
conclude that the orchard is the best
place to haul and spread it. He ar
CUES that it will act as a mulch and
conserve moisture for his trees, and
ultimately be converted into humus
which will improve the land.
In this he makes three mistakes:
First, straw, which is given the the
oretical value of three dollars a ton
when used as fertilizer, is worth little
when spread out thinly and allowed
to decay slowly as in the orchard. 1t
loses it's nitrogen. Second, it fur
nishes excellent hiding places for
mice, rats and other pests, which may
cause great damage by gnawing the
trees. This is particularly noticeable
in young orchards. Third, and most
important, it does act as mulch, but
in such way that the surface layer
of the soil is kept moist at just the
time of year it should not be, namely,
the early growing season. This en-
courages the growth of roots close to
the surface, place that is dangerous
to the life of the tree, because in a
very dry spell there are insufficient
deep growing roots to supply the tree
with moisture, and the surface has no
moisture in it. It would be better to
sell the straw at loss. This would
not rnean the loss of the orchard as
we'll as the straw. if used as men
toned above. But some extra stock
may be utilized to eat up or trample
down the straw, and thus make ex-
ira manure and litter. This will save
the straw, the orchard and the ma
nure The only mulch that the Or
char,l should receive is one made by
the harrow or gang pillow and cult
yator. This will make the roots go
deep and thus fit them to withstand
a dry time.-M. G. Kains, in National
Rnra1

Advantaxea of the Silo.

One of the great advantages of hav-
ing silage is that uniform supply of
feed can be kept on hand throughout
the year. The experience OF good feed.
ers has demonstrated that silage can
be kept for more than year and be
identical in feeding value with silage
of but few months in age. One feed
er says that when he has silage left
in the bottom of his silo, and fills in
on top of it with new silage, at time
of feeding there is no difference be.
tween the two. This fact being estab.
lished, it becomes possible for the
feeder to make provision for the years
of small corn crops, if he have abun-
dant silo room. A big supply of silage
in a year when feed is scarce means
an increased income.-Farmers' Re-

TROUBLES IN THE DAIRY:
How to Overcome or Avoid Some o.
the Most Vexing AnnOyances
iE Butter Making.

A very annoying experience on the
farm dairy is to have the butter refuse
to come. A very fertile cause of this
annoyance, especially on the average
farm where only few cows are kept
and there is only sufficient cream for
churning once or at most twice week,
is the mixing of sweet and sour cream.
1t is not an uncommon practice to skim
each days cream into crock, and then
some morning when it is convenient,
the housewife concludes to churn. She
warns the cream to the proper churn-
ing point and then proceeds with the
churning and finds that it takes an I'M
reasonable length of time for the but
ter Ito come" she wonders what the
trouble is. Investigation has shown
that ripened cream, that's, sour cream,
fore. when the churning contains a
mixture of cream that is three, four
or more days old, together with that
which is still sweet, we have condi-
ton which makes not only slow churn-
ing but wasteful churning, the sweet
H.
keeps the other butter from coming
In addition to this trouble, we find that
when the mixed cream is churned, the
particles of butter in the ripened cream
finally gather first. The butter-maker
discovers that the butter has come and
stops her churning. Were she to test
the buttermilk with the Babcock test
er, she would find that a goodly por-
ton of the butter was still in the but
termilk, this being from the sweet
cream which was added the same morn
ing and if the churning had continued
long enough it might have been got
ten out. Most everyone has seen q
pail of buttermilk, which has been left
standing for some time, and which
shows a layer of cream on the surface.
When this condition exists the loss of
fat in the buttermilk is considerable,
as the tester will show. To secure
thoroughness of churning in a reason
able length of time, the cream should
be kept as sweet as possible, by keep
ing it cold until IS to "a hours before
the time to churn it. It should be
stirred thoroughly as each new lot
is added. Having decided when you are
to churn, the cream, if still sweet or
nearly so, should be warmed up to a
temperature of 65 or 70 degrees to
ripen. The temperature at which it
is set to ripen depends on the
length of time it must stand before
you are able to churn, also on the con-
dition of the cream whether it is sweet
or beginning to sour. The higher the
temperature at which the cream is set,
the more rapidly it will ripen. When
ready to churn, the cream should be
thick and have smooth, velvety ap-
pearance, thatis, free from Jumps, and
have a pleasant sour taste. This is a
condition which is difficult to describe
on paper, but will come from expert
ence.-Prairie Farmer.

LIVELY AGITATION.
Conversational Appropriation Bill to
BE Doomed by the League of
American Wheelmen.

The national assembly of the League
of American Wheelmen strongly in
dorsed the bill presented to congress.
calling for an appropriation of $780,
600 for highway improvements in the
various states. The bill is framed in
the interests of farmers, wheelmen and
the public generally, and the league re-
quested in its resolutions that all class
es support the bill by communication
with their representatives in congress.
asking them to vote for the measure.
In the debate which followed the intro
duction of the resolution many strong
reasons for its passage were brought
out. Among them was the fact that con-
gress annually appropriates millions
of dollars for river and harbor I'M
provement; that subsidies have been
given for railroad building and for
steamships. All of these, it was stated.
are forms of highways, yet the nation
al government has done nothing for
half century for better road highways,
which would directly benefit the farm
crs and Indirectly be of untold value to
the commerce of the entire country.
The action taken by the assembly
calls for united action by all the divi-
sions of the L. A. w. and the farmers
associations in all sections will be
called upon to assist in getting the
measure through. The L. A. W. expects
that if this bill is favorably acted upon:
the building of roads under the appro-
priation will prove such an object les
son there will be no resisting future re-
quests for congressional approPria-
tions. This bill will be supplemented
by the usual state bills, and altogether
the l.. A. W. will have very active sea-
son in it's good roads work.

the dairy in debt. The percentage of
cream which each cows milk affords
ought to be known to the dairyman.
He can gain the information by the
Babcock test, or approximately by
by setting quart of the milk in a
straight-sided vessel and noting the
proportion of cream to the whole
depth. Then with record of the
amount of milk given by each cow, the
value of her weekly and monthly prod
uct becomes instantly known. Have a
