Will you allow ME space in your columns
to correct a report that is being circulated
against me of a very damaging nature to
the effect that have taken advantage of
my fellow mans misfortune and have
been guilty of charging one dollar per
bushel for cotton seed This emphatic
ally deny. I have exchanged several
hundred bushels Of cotton seed for meal
at the rate of one hundred bushels of seed
for one ton of meal, and where they could
not obtain the meal they also have been
supplied without one single copper, and

The enrolment of members was then
gone into, and number Of names were

farmers all over the county, requesting

Mr.. F. w. Hodson, former superin-
tendent of Farmers Institutes for On
tario, in the course of an address be-
fore the Live Stock Associations of
Ontario, said: A serious fact which
you should consider is that the av-
erage quality Of Ontario horses, cattle
and sheep are not as good as they
were twenty years ago. Why Is this?
One reason, and an important one, is
tat Canadian farmers are not tena-
cious enough nor persistent enough.
Let me illustrate. A farmer will buy
a Cotswold ram and perhaps a eve
or two, and will call himself a Cots
void breeder for period. Some other
breed will become popular, we will
say Shropshires. He will float out
with the tide and buy Shropshire
ram and produce some very good cross
breeds. and he will be loud In tho
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-04-25

praise of shropshlres, Soon, however,
the early lambs produced by the Dorset
Horn breeder will attract his atten-
tion; he will as likely as not forsaks
the Shropshlres and breed Dorset
Horns for time, yet never owning
any one sort long enough to make any
profit for himself or to do the country
any good. II IL not difficult, even
among the Canadian lovers of Inn

have at one time or another bred

shles, EIampshires and southdowns,

Tapeworms sometimes infest poultry
to such an extent that they become
very troublesome. No less than nine
varieties are known to infest fowls,
and when fowls are so infested they
become distinctly Improbable, both
for egg production and for fattening.
One medical authority advises the use
of one teaspoonful of powdered pome-
granate root bark for every fifty fowls.
1t is, however, easier to prevent than
to cure such troubles, and the neces-
sity for greater cleanliness is appar-
ent. The same ground should not be
used for conAnlng fowls year after

Butter will be used extensively in
the topics II some means can be found
Of keeping 1t in perfect condition dur
ing time OF transit. Up to the present
time tins and heat have been the prin-
cipal factors In Its keeping power. An
English paper says that "for very
many years France had practically the
monopoly Of supplying the demand
from warm climates, and, because a
considerable proportion Of this butter
underwent a special process Of heating,
the words "beurre fondu" became a
regular trade term, which, however is
to be translated literally, so as to in
dicate the faworite household product
which we call melted butter" BY
means of heat, the butter Is purified"
