The Repubiie of Canada.

Twenty years ago 90 per cent Of the
people of Canada would have wei
coined the annexation OF the Domin-
ion to the United States. Ten years
ago only 10 per cent Of the men who
think thought seriously OF such d
move, and to-day no one ever men
tions the matter at all.
Twenty years ago only few dream
ers dreamed of the Republic Of Cana
da. Ten years later 10 per cent OF
the people Were in favor OF it, and to-
day twenty out of every hundred Ca
nadians would welcome the news that
Canada had cast off the cable that
moors her to the Motherland and had
blossomed out as n nation.
The relations between the people OF
the United States and of Canada Will
grow more friendly and pleasant as
the years go by, because of the whole
sale swapping OF citizens now going
on Millions of Canadians have gone
TO the States, and In the next decade
millions of Americans will have cross
ed into Canada. We shall like each
other better us we see each other
more. for we North Americans are the
people-all of us.-Cy Warman, IN

Making Draft Horses.

There is one thing that the man who
is trying to raise big horses should
not overlook--and that Is plenty OF
food for the colts a draft-bred colt
that has not enough to eat will not
make draft horse-he will be
chunk of some grade. not heavy
enough for draft horse. Some peo-
pie claim that draft colts will not re-
QuIre any more feed than colts OF q
lighter breed. That is an error. They
do require more, but not so much In
proportion to their size as does the
light horse, because they are of n
quiet disposition and put more of their
feed into growth and less into exer-
else or nervous fretting than the light
horse. But no big horse will be pro-
duced If the feed Is lacking. Give the
colts enough to keep them growing,
and they will pay good price for all
they eat when the time comes to sell
them. At sale In Ohio last week
draft geldings coming years old sold
to feeders at 500 to $2S5 head. When
feeders can afford to pay such prices
for horses to fatten for market there
Is nothing wrong with the draft horse
business. But there were no stunted
colts in the bunch that sold for these
figures.

Geese ON LoWIands.

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low-lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture is best suited to their re-
quirements, as they crop the grass
very short. and would likely destroy
the roots of newly sewn grass. They
must be afforded liberty and lots OF
grassy range. They are very coarse
feeders and will eat nearly anything
In the shape of green food. Although
it is desirable to hatch early, 1t Is not
always advisable. rs 1t depends upon
the climate and location. Goslings
need grass, and do not thrive unless
green food is supplied when they can
not get range.

Crops I'm a Young Orchard.

One crop that should never be
planted In young orchard is corn. 1t
will overshadow the trees and rob
them of moisture. If you are skepti-
cal and do not believe it Is injurious
to the young trees, you need only to
plant part of the orchard to pota-
toes and part to corn and note the
difference in the appearance of the
trees at the end OF the summer. Oats
or any of the other grains have no
place in Il young orchard They will
rob the trees of moisture and stunt
their growth.

foot In ground and four feet apart one

wise on top of stringers and build
straw pile over all, leaving hole in one
end big enough for hog to enter.

This house will always be dry and

heated argument with the hired man
about cleaning out and bedding the
hogs. Hogs can be fed out of doors,
or board feeding room may be built
at one end OF stack with door be-

burn straw hoghouse, haul out refuse
and build new each year. Then you
will have healthy hogs, avoid mango

Removing Warts from Horses.

Removing warts from hOrses.
Take about four leaves Of strong
cured tobacco, place them in vessel,
pour about one-half gallon of water
over them, place on the fire, letting 1t
boil down to a strong juice, and apply
to the wart Always pick the wart so
as to make it bleed before the appli-
cation, that it may strike into the fun
gous growth. A few applications will
soon do the work; gradually the en-
largement will decrease and disappear
as il by magic. AS an evidence of Its
efficacy, some years ago a horse that
we drove had bleeding wart on his
back that the lines kept continually
bleeding. 1t was about the size of
walnut, with neck about the size OF
ones index finger. l would OCCASION
ally sprinkle few crumbs of tobacco
on it from my pocket, and the wart
went away. l have removed warts as
large as a pint cup from horses legs
by taking the tobacco leaves, dipping
them in hot water and binding them
TO the affected part. Try it and you
will be rewarded for your trouble. -

There has been great trade in can

of canned eggs are bought by confec-

manufacture of linen. Several coun-
tries supply eggs for such purposes.
but the supply is not equal to the de-
mand. Large importations of canned
eggs come from Russia, Germany and

room for more improvement.
Feeding Oats i'm the Sheaf.
One OF the first things ! learned
when boy was that feeding shear
oats to horses was wasteful. However.
had to Go it last fall and now wish
| had saved a portion of my thrash
ing bill that way. Several years ago
read of certain farmer condemning
COW because she leaked her milk,
while he had other cows that did not
pay their keep, although they did not
leak their milk, while the first COW
paid well in spite Of her leakage. Now,
in the case Of my horses, / have
known them to pass oats with their
manure in so perfect state that they
would grow, and no scheme of driv-
ing nails In the bottom OF their FEED
boxes, putting in stones or having
their teeth fiatted by horse doctor
had any effect on them. But, 10! when
fed them sheaf oats, not the first
vestige of an oat could be seen In
their manure. Now, what difference
does 1t make where or how the oats
are wasted? And If few pigs could
have access to the stable when the
horses were out in the field, 1t seems
to me that sheaf oats would have
the best end of the argument.-Farm.
