Americans who are coming to Eng
land this year and intend visiting Can
terbury will be disappointed to hear
that builders have just begun to sur
round the central tower of the IA
nous cathedral with a huge scaffold-
ing by which its beauties will be COM
pletely hidden for probably many
months to come. The temporary dis
figurement is necessitated by the I'M
sound condition of this portion of the
structure, which has made its restora-
ton imperative lest the tower should
share the fate of Venices Campanile.
Historically known as the BELL
Harry" tower, this browning achieve
ment of Canterbury's architect is COM
monty regarded as the finest example
of the perpendicular style of church
architecture in England, although the
name of its designer has not been
handed down to posterity. Its con-
struction was begun in 1472, and 1t
replaced a former tower called the
angel Steeple," name bestowed on
it because of the gilded cherubim who
was perched on the pinnacle. 1t is 235
feet high and 80 feet in diameter, but
such is the dignity and stateliness Of
the design that it conveys the impress
sion of much larger dimensions.
After Westminster abbey and st.
Paul's, Canterbury cathedral is the
most highly priced of England's
churches, both for it's architectural
beauty and it's historic associations.
1t originated, it is said, in a church
formerly used by the Roman Chris
tians, and which st. Augustine conse-
Grated under the name of Christ's
church when he became archbishop of
Canterbury in 597. Enlarged some
$50 years later by Archbishop Odo,
it was totally destroyed by fire in
1867 Archbishop Lanfranc rebuilt it,
but the choir was again wholly
burned down in liza, and to rebuild it
a number of French and English arti-
ficers were summoned. Among the
former was one William of Sens, who
turned out to be man of real genius,
and to him the work was intrusted.
He died, however, in 1778, before the
work was finished, but worthy sue
cessor was found in another William,
this time an Englishman, and to him

New York. DR.. Davidson will attend
the sesquicentennial jubilee exercises,
to be held on Morningside Heights
next October, and in all likelihood the
primate will deliver an address.
DR.. Davidson was the bishop of
Winchester when appointed by King
Edward in 1903 to succeed DR.. Tenn
pie, as primate of all England. At that
time he had been bishop for II
years, first occupying the see of Roch-
ester, from which he was transferred
to Winchester in 1895. For many
years he has been a prominent figure
in ecclesiastical life in England, part
ly through the personal appreciation
of his capacity shown by Queen Vic
toria, who had him appointed dean Of
Windsor in 1888. DR.. Davidson's
views on the chief matters of contro-
versy in the English church are well
known. In the house Of lords he has
gained a high place among the Epis-
copal statesmen, especially in regard
to social movements, and his zeal in
educational matters has often been
proved.

Pasturage Not Enough for Fattenln0
Cheen

FaStura9e NOT Enough TOT Fasse""S
Sheep.
The attempt has good many times
been made OF giving sheep nothing
but pasturage when they were being
prepared for market. II this Is ever
successful it is under exceptional con-
ditions. The well-fnished sheep has
to have something more than half
dry grass on which to build up juicy
flesh. This Is the more the case as
this fattening has to be done In the
fall of the year when pastures are
not at their best. At the South Da'
kota station an experiment was made
to determine to what extent the sheep
would improve on pasturage In the
fall Of the year. The time OF pastur-
ing was from September to Novem'
Der 2. Sixty ewes were used in the
experiment, and these were divided
into lots of ten ewes each. Each lot
was allowed to run on two acres OF
native prairie grass, but it was In I'M
usually good condition, as it had not
been pastured for the entire season,
nor had it been cut for hay. or the
six lots only one was fed entirely on
this native pasturage The other lots
had some kind of grain in addition
The trial would indicate what we
have said above that it is unadvisable
|. to attempt to fatten sheep without
grain. The lot that had no grain not
only did not increase in weight, but
lost over five pounds each in weight,
the loss for the ten being So pounds.
All the other lots made substantial
gains. This trial was only another
proof that it does not pay to try to get
something for nothing. This pasture,
1t may be noted, was much better
than is the average pasture on our
farms, as the sheep were really put
onto pasture where they could eat
in two months the pasturage that Is
generally available during six.

lambs in the Stockyards.

Lambs do not receive very much
consideration in the stockyards,
whether they be intended for slaugh-
ter or for reshipping to farmers that
are to feed them. The men that do
the handling at the stockyards are
not the most tender that can be
found, and the kind of attention given
is not what the lambs have been ac-
customed to, If they have been under
the care of an intelligent shepherd.
The careless dipping Of sheep and
lambs has resulted repeatedly in the
loss of many Of the lambs, and some
times as many as twenty dead lambs
have been found in single car after
that ordeal. 1t is supposed that chill
ing resulted. 1t may be too that
some of the dips are too strong for
tender lambs. The farmers that have
lambs to ship will do well to see to It
that the lambs receive the best Of at
tention at this irving time.

The Modern Hog.

The modern hog is the product OF
hundreds of swine generations Of Sc
lection and high feeding. Much has
been gained in the quality Of hog meat
and in the ability of the hogs to make
the most out of the feed they receive.
While this has been gained, something
has been lost, and that something is
stamina. The problem Is now present
ing itself how to so feed and select
breeding animals as to restore the old
stamina that was in the hog when 1t
roamed over the mountains aud
through the woods and dug its food
from the ground or gathered it from
the growing heritage. The breeder Of
the modern hog has found that he is
producing an animal too weak in bone
and that this must be remedied. But
that this can and will be cured is GER
tain. The modern hog, with all of his
good qualities, could have been pro-
duced without the loss Of the desirable
qualities that have been parted with
II the right course of feeding had been
followed.

RAISING White Holland Turkeys.


My method Of raising White Hol-
land turkeys is about as follows: In
the start l select about eight or ten
early-hstched, strong and healthy pull
lets, with plenty of bone and fine
style. Then I want an extra large,
vigorous, healthy yearling or two-year-
old tom that is not akin to the pulletS
I do not want pullet Weighing less
than fifteen pounds nor tom that
weighs less than twenty-five pounds.
The feathering of both must be prac-
tically clear white or pinkish white.
The mature tom should not weigh less
than thirty-three pounds and the hens
not less than twenty-three pounds. To
do we'll, turkeys must have free range.
Ours have unlimited range. Their
roosts are constructed by placing forks
in the ground and putting poles or
rails on them, and this arrangement
does for both summer and winter. The
first layings of turkey eggs are set
under chickens and we break up the
turkey hen the first time she begins
to sit. The next time she wants to

give them unlimited range and let
them roost out on the nigh roost with
the old ones. 1t pays while they are
young to grease the tops of their
heads lightly, and also at the roots
of their wing feathers. using common
lard. l do this about every week or at
least every ten days till they are two
months old, and this keeps lice from
bothering them. After the poults are
three months old feed a liberal al

Improving the Common Fowls.

Improving the Common Fowls.
II farmers would adopt some gen
eral method of breeding up, 1t would be
possible to eliminate the scrub fowl
In very few years. This can be done
with very little outlay, the main cost
being that for new male birds each
year. In four or five years the farmer
would have flock of practically pure
breds of far more value than his
present collection of birds, both for
the production of eggs and of flesh.
thus have birds half pure, at the end
of the second year birds three-fourths
pure, and at the end of the third year
birds seven-eighths pure; at the end
OF five years ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
pure. Beyond this, selection may do
the work, though it would be advis.
able to purchase pure-bred males for
heading the flock after that.
For work OF this kind only strong,
vigorous, propotent males should he
selected. This will be found to be OF
considerable Importance, as such
birds impress their individuality more
noticeably on their progeny than do
weaker birds. When a vigorous male
is used with lot of females of mixed
breeding and color, the uniformity fire.
quently developed in the progeny Is
remarkable. Many flock has become
we'll colored after the male at the
close of one year. In some ways birds
from such matings are the most de-
sirable for the farm, having the hardi-
ness sometimes lacked by pure breds.
But it is a mistake to breed with
pure-bred male at the head of the
flock one year and the next take some
member of his progeny to head the
same flock. There is frequently
temptation to do this, and some peo-
pie find the temptation irresistible.
The result is that the breeding oper-
alton ceases then and there. No mat
ter how long the process is carried on
the outcome will be lot of mongrels.
The farmer must make up his mind
in the beginning to spend a small
amount of money each year for the
best males he can get and then stick
to his resolution.
The progress of the grading-up proc
ess can be accelerated by choosing
the females that are to produce the
eggs for Matching purposes. After
the end of the first year there will be
found certain females, the progeny
of the first year, that bear strong
resemblance to the male parent. Such
should be selected the second year
for mating with the new male of the
same breed as that begun with.
Breeds should not be changed, as by
so doing much time and effort are
lost. If this process is continued
during the three or five years referred
to, at the end Of that time the progeny
will bear all the characteristics OF
pure-breds. In the breeding up, 1t Is
best to use only mature fowls, as the
chicks of such have more vigor than
the chicks of pullets. To continually
breed from immature stock Is to final
ly weaken the vigor Of the flock. The
bird at the head of these mature hens,
however, may be cockerel. If pullets
are used, a mature male should be
used with them. Never use cockerels
and pullets together.
