DIED ON c. A. r. PARADE.
Colonel John p. Pryor succumbed TO
Exhaustion Mt Boston.

BOSTON, Aug. II. If anything
were needed to prove that the Grand
Army of the Republic is still in fact
n mighty host, it was to be found
when, with half million civilians
looking on. 10000 survivors of the
Union forces of the civil war assem-
bled here from all sections of the
United States marched through the
streets of Boston. Five and half
hours were required for the parade to
pass n given point, and it was Il severe
strain on the old soldiers-One Of the
hardest battles ever they had entered
to stand and walk on the hot crowded
streets-but generally they bore the
hardship ms true heroes, More than
three score Of them dropped from the
ranks from exhaustion and heat pros
tration and were tenderly cared for
at the field and civic hospitals.
The death Of one soldier marred an
otherwise happy day Colonel John
p. Pryor, member Of John y. Dix
Post No. 1875 of New York, died from
heart failure induced by exhaustion.
At least $50 spectators mostly wo-
men. tainted during the parade, and
many persons were slightly injured
and had dresses torn in the crush of
the crowds.

Two Ideas Of Farminn.

In the United States there are two
opposite ideas Of farming, One is to
farm on the extensive scale. The 9th
er Is 10 farm on the intensive scale.
me western idea of farming is to
own great tracts of land, and this idea
oecomes more extensive as one goes
west. Even in Western Canada a
farmer thinks himself poor unless he
owns several sections of land. The
ioea Is one that had its birth in the
days when land was cheap. IL has
nVed on in spite of the changed con
uitions. In the day of cheap land
the great farm was necessity, as
intensive operations were not pos
siole. Labor was scarce and live
STOCK abundant, and the animals could
'oe made to do most OF the gathering
OF the crops, eating them as they
gathered them.
with the increase of population the
interests OF the country lie in the
possession of small farms. Reduce
the size or the farms and young men
VIII find 1t possible to purchase them
AL present prices it is practically i'm.
possible for young man to buy a
'arm OF average size. The old proc
esses of thin farming still remain on
the big farms and are likely to remain
as the price Of land goes up, on &C.
count OF the ever-increasing price of
,abor.
In the eastern part of the country
the intensive farming idea is in the
ascandency! AS result the farms
are largely owned without mortgages.
me intensive idea Is making itself
telt TO some extent in the West, but ii
is yet slight, except near the great
cities, where farming takes on the
character more of gardening. Could
we but induce the men that own more
land than they can cultivate to sell
what they have little use for the ben
ent would be threefold The man that
sold the land would be benefited,
the iandless man that purchased it
would be benefited: and the general
public would be benefited.
We are coming to the time when
our farmers Will realize the fact that
1t is possible to farm downwards as
well as laterally. They will ind that
II IS not necessary to pay taxes on
thousand acres of land farmed three
inches deep when they can get the
same results from five hundred acres
farmed six inches deep. They will
also md that smaller farms mean a
better @TiaI condition of the people

More Milk for the Hens.

Too little care is taken in seeing
that the hens have good supply of
milk. The hens are made to drink
mostly water, and now and then a pan
of milk is taken out to them. Some.
times the busy housewife fOrgets to
do this and sometimes it is a week or
month between drinks. The skim.
milk will not be given regularly unless
some arrangement is made to that
effect. 1t is best to have the fowls
consume as much milk as possible. for
the reason that on most of our farms
corn Is the great grain feed AMI the
milk is good balancer for this. The
milk is rich in protein and the corn
in Carbohy The two offset each
other When more sour milk accumu.
lates than can be disposed of in any
way while 1t Is in bulk, 1t should be
made into soft curd and given the
hens in that way. The fowls will rot
then be compelled to consume large
amount Of water to get little casein
The testimony of those that have fed
milk largely is that IT has stimulated
laying, especially in the winter when
the fowls are generally shut up to
corn ration. In the summer when
green grass and other vegetables and
insects are obtainable the milk IS very
much less of a factor than in tho win
ter time.
On very many of our farms skim.
milk is very abunadnt, and could be
fed to the fowls daily so far as the
material itself is concerned. The only
question is that of labor. Skimmilk
freezes, and this makes it necessary
to renew the supply often in the cold.
est weather. There is no other way
of doing than to warm the milk to
about 100 degrees. AT that tempera.
ture it will not be too hot for the
fowls to drink, but will be some time
IN cooling of. II should, Of course, be
removC to the houRe before it con.
geals, as it is 1eteriorated by the
process of freezing.

Hairy vetch.

One OF the best cover crons known
is hairy vetch. lt"has. however, been
little used on account of the high
price OF the seed, much of which had
to be imported from abroad. There
seems no satisfactory reason, however.
why this seed should not be raised
on this side of the water in sufficient
quantities to supply all demands. The
Ontario station imported seed from
Germany, and. sown In the fall It
produced the next year Sc bushels OF
seed. Seed produced from this crop
was sown side by side with new seed
from Germany and gave "a yield of
ga bushels above that OF the German
seed. AS the price of seed is Ave
dollars per bushel. this was a fairly
good return for the acre planted to
vetch. or course the price can be
reduced by number of farmers grow
ing the seed. but even then the re.
turns will be better than from some
of the cereals.
For sweet potatoes the ground
should be plowed shallow. There
should be a hard bottom under the
ridges in which the sweet potato tn.
bers grow, that the tubers may grow
short and stout.

Cheap Seed.

From now on till planting time In
the spring farmers will be purchasing
seeds for their various crops next
year. 1t Is iamentable fact that the
ordinary farmer does not purchase
the best seed he can obtain, but
chooses low grade seed at a low
price. 1t would be false economy to
use poor seed even If it were a gift
Worse still Is it to take chances on
old seed, that which was left over
from last year. Some of this loses
its terminating power very quickly.
1t is claimed that the amount of
imperfe city cleaned seed on the mar.
ket is very great. and this proportion
is very much greater than usual after
bad years. Not only is the question
OF germinability at stake, but, what is
worse, the presence of weed seeds
,aat, once sown, will cost the farmer
dearly in the efforts he must put forth
to get rid of them. II will pay the
farmer to scrutinize his seed pur.
chased very closely.
