AGRICULTURAL.
Notes..

Turkeys shrink bout one-third in
dressing.
Cruelty to an animal is always an ex-
pensive business.
Ducks and geese should be kept |
separate from the other poultry.
Many diseases Of the horses feet are
due to wearing shoes too long.
AS fast as the garden truck is har
vested clear up the rubbish and burn
it.
The profits from raising poultry de-
pend on attention to the small things
Apply lime whitewash to your stables.
1t will keep them clean and sweet.
AS rule you will find that the poor
est farmer generally has the most dogs.
Do not be afraid to plant apple trees.
The foreign demand for this fruit is in
creasing year by year.
When thrashing take good care of
the straw. Bright, clear straw is bet
ter for bedding as well as feeding.
If you are going to plant Winter
wheat prepare the land well. The Ia
Dor thus spent always brings in big re-
turns.
When training your colt teach him
to have a quick walk. Fast walking
horses always bring extra money in a
isale.
Brood sows require food, rich in the
elements of bone and muscle; corn is
not suitable, as it contains an excess OF
fat.
So many of the diseases of the pigs
are contagious that it is safe plan to
separate a sick pig out the first time it
is noticed.
Hogs are nearer self sustaining, and
will do more foraging than any other
animal and there is less labor in pre-.
pairing food for them.
There's big difference between the
farmers who gather at the saloons and
those who attend the institute and talk
over matters.
A permanent pasture, if fed close and
late, ought to have some other fertil.
izer thar the droppings of the animals
that feed on it.
Among the many advantages of Fal
ploughing is that it puts the farmer
ahead with his Spring work. This is {
good point to bear in mind.
The land is exactly like bank. Yo,
cannot draw without depositing fertil
izer.
ii Winter dairying is claimed by SOM
to be more profitable than Summe
Idairying, as the farmer has more tim
. at his disposal to care for his cows.
Whenever it is possible, attend farm
ers' clubs, stock meetings, etc., ant
learn by the experiences of others. l
is considerably cheaper in the lonI
run.
Next month will be the agriculture
fair month. 1t is not bit too early t,
prepare for it. and the head of the fam
lily should see that every one has rea
good, enjoyable time. Enjoyable par
ties, such as we have during fair time
are the things that make life enjoyabl
; on the farm.
If you desire to know what to fee
your flock of hens when they are shu
up just watch them when they ar
gathering food for themselves an
henceforth you will not deprive ther
of green food, gravel, etc. They pic
up many bits of coal, broken earthe
ware, and in fact, variety of every
thing lying around loose.
