Farm Paragraphs

Comfort in the stables means SER
vice in the fields.
Individual experience is the first
requisite in good horse
Sore shoulders are the cause of
many horses becoming balky.
Put little blankets of flannel on the
lambs if the weather is very cold.
Water is as important as food and
should be supplied clean and fresh.
Gravel should always be supplied to
fowls being fattened in confinement.
Animals that are uniform in age
and size will feed and fatten more
easily.
Chickens should never be allowed
to go on the roosts until ten or twelve
weeks old.
Before the planting is finished, the
manure should all be gathered up and
hauled out.
So far as is possible, feed the chick
ems early in the morning and late in
the evening.
When the hens are laying abundant
ly, lime should be kept before them
at all times.
1t is a good plan to feed wheat as
the grain food at this time as corn is
too fattening.
Lime is purifier and should be
used often as wash to coops, perches
and nest boxes.
Chickens are the most profitable
animals on the farm, but they general
ly receive the least attention.
In marketing fruit, it should always
be the rule to prepare it and place it
upon the market in the neatest and
incest condition possible.
Excess of salt is not good for fowls;
when they can get to it they some
times eat it in fatal quantities; but
little salt, as for instance, in their
food, is beneficial.

The Hardy PerenniaIs.

The hardy perennials appeal strong
ly to the farmers wife, as they are SO
easily cared for and once established
will last for years. To real flower
lovers it is a good deal Of satisfaction
to feel that when frost comes and de-
spoils our garden of its beauty, it is
only for few months; after the win
ters rest they will awaken to new life
and beauty without any further effort
on our part.
Whether the season is favorable or
otherwise, the perennials and smaller
shrubs may be depended upon to pro-
duce a wealth of bloom, while the an
nuals require a favorable season and
especial care to give best results.
While shrubs require spacious sur
roundings for best display the peren-
malls are we'll adapted to small gar
dens, although in planning for the
hardy border one should allow as
much space as possible, as in a few
years a single specimen of some vari-
cites will form good-sized clump
Instead of buying as many varieties
as ones means will allow, it is. advis-
able to plant several roots of a kind,
although perhaps different varieties of
the same species. The massing to-
gether of several plants of a kind
makes the border more harmonious
and pleasing to the eye than a miscel-
laneous collection of plants. Of course
the taller kinds must be planted in
the background; do not plant in
straight rows, however, but group the
plants as naturally as possible. The
first two or three seasons the space
between the plants may be filled with
low-growing ANIMALS.
One may begin with a few plants
adding to them from time to time un-
til in few years the result is choice
collection of plants that will not only
add to the beauty of the home but to
its value as well.-Ella L. Layson, in
the Epitomist.

SAVING Manure Fertility.

Many farmers throw the manure up
into a great loose pile, where it fer
ments so rapidly that it becomes fire
fanged, and those materials that go to
form humus in the soil are destroyed.
The right way is to first see that
the ground is Level, or followed out
so that there is a slope from the out
side towards the centre; cover this
with straw, or other absorbent, and
spread the stable droppings over it;
keeping the heap broad and fiat, and
tramping soldly each day as a fresh
supply is added This may be done
by the cattle when they are turned
out for az little exercise each day. BY
placing a couple of rubbing posts on
the top of the pile they will soon be
induced to aid in keeping the heap in
solid condition, thereby preventing
excessive heating and consequent loss
Of ammonia.
The object in doing this is to pre-
vent the air penetrating the manure, it
being one of the essentials necessary
to fermentation. Heat and moisture
also assist, but may be largely coun-
teracted, and reduced to a minimum
IL some form of a shelter has been pro-
vided, and liberal supply of suitable
absorbents is used.-J. H. McKenney,
Corinth, Ont.

Reducing Cost Of Production.

At one of the Illinois meetings Prof.
Curtis, of the Iowa station, in the
course of his remarks said: 1--WE all
know that, valuable as corn is, it is
not a complete ration, and if we expect
to produce the best results in growing
animals, and in dairy stock, and in de-
veloping horses, and in maintaining
the breeding qualities of our animals,
we must have a variety of feed stuffs
We must have the constituents that go
to build up the bone and muscle and
properly develop the animal in the
highest form and highest state of ex-
cellence. These things are absolutely
essential; never so much as today, in
view of the high-priced land that we
have, in view of the quicker returns
that we must get from these animals,
and the higher excellence that we must
produce in the finished product. In
the fact that we have higher-priced
feed products the problem presented
Is, how we may cheaper the produc-
ton of these animals by the rations
we use, or the methods we employ in
growing and producing them on our
farms, and produce the finished pro-
duct at comparatively lower cost
and without sacrificing any of the ex-
cellence. l believe that the grass crop
affords today the lsurest and most
practical means of accomplishing
cheaper production.

Morality and Price Of Whisky.

Raising the price of whisky seems
to have brought about a wave of
moral REFORM remarked a police
official to the Toronto Globe. Only
two prisoners charged with being
drunk appeared before Magistrate
Denison. They were two old-timers.
The price OF whisky was raised by the
hotel men, and the reports from the
different police stations Yesterday
morning disclosed the fact that fewer
arrests for being drunk were made on
Monday than for some time past. In
spector William Davis of the Court
street division stated that his divis-
ion had a clean slate, not one drunk
being chronicled This is the first
time in the history of No. l division
that l have never seen at least one
prisoner arrested for being drunk, ;"
said Inspector Davis, "and have been
attached to the division for several
years"

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
puN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Reports for May Show Large Gains
Over Last Years Figures
-Crop Situation.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Current distribution Of merchan-
disc is largely dependent upon the
weather, which varies widely, accord
ing to locality On the whole the
weeks results were encouraging, and
monthly reports for May show
splendid gains over last years figures.
Prices of commodities rose to the
highest point in 20 years, S106,794 on
June /, comparing with $106, ,059 a
month previous and $98,759 year
ago. Railway earnings in May were
11.2 per cent heavier than in 1905,
and foreign commerce at New York
City for the last week showed a gain
of 1916, $50 in exports and a loss Of
s11 sos in imports, as compared with
the corresponding week last year.
In the iron and steel industry there
is not only little idle machinery at
the present time, but little prospect
of any shutdown in the near future,
unless repairs necessitate such ac-
ton. Official and other indications Of
a large cotton crop and the further
decline in prices. of that staple pro-
duced no definite effect upon the
primary markets for manufactured
goods. The outlook for their absorp-
ton is far from uncertain. Footwear
factories receive only fair volume
of new fall business. Leather is
steady at the recent advance. Hides
are nominally unchanged, yet an
easier tone is in evidence.
Failures in the United States are
2O6, against ia last week, 1888 the
preceding week, and 216 the cores
ponding week last year. Failures in
Canada number 1S. against 13 last
week, s the preceding week and 20
last year.
Bradstreet's say: Grain crop re-
turns become more irregular as the
season progresses, but that fact has
not deferred purchasers TO any ex-
tent. AS whole the situation is
equal to year ago.

Feeding the Land.

After the home resources in the
enrichment of the soil have been ex-
hausted it is time to turn to CONNER
cial fertilizers to supply deficiencies.
It is a very simple matter to spread
around the trees each year the con-
tents of few fertilizer bags. This is
much easier than spreading several
loads of manure or sowing and plow-
Ing under green manure crop. 1t
takes less time and less worry. Hence,
many people who own a few fruit
trees come to rely upon commercial
sources Of fertility that have been
mentioned This is a great mistake.
The home fruit grower should use com
mercial fertilizers to Supplementary
to replace-tillage, green manures and
barnyard manures. Some fruit gar
dens, like some farms, are fertilizer
sick. They have been dosed with
large quantities of high-grade fertili-
zers, but the humus content of the soil
has not been kept up. If fertilizers
let them be in conjunction with man
uring. The purchaser of commercial
fertilizers is in the way of many pit
falls, for some fertilizers, like many
breakfast foods, are not as nourishing
as the advertisement suggests, and
they are very frequently used with
out definite knowledge of what the
soil needs or what they contains.

This is no time for snap judgments.
That the President is in earnest Is
certain, observes the Boston Trans
cript. That he has taken almost un-
precedented pains to secure reliable
data for his conclusions is evident,
and he has mistaken confidence In
the correctness of those conclusions,
but the correlations of the main ques-
tion are so vast and involved that
there may be openings for mistakes
even under the most acute and

The Neglected Farmers Garden.

A farmers garden is often neglected
until the last thing, and then the wives
and children have the most of the
work to do. While would say moth
ing against their working in the gar
den, at least they ought to have all
the advantages that a carefully
thought-out plan and proper prepara-
ton will give. With but very little
trouble or expense, says Farming, you
can have fruit the year round in con-
nection with your garden. In my own
family we could do without it. At
one side of the garden, or some con-
venient place, have a bed of asparagus,
strawberry bed and blackberry,
raspberry, currant and gooseberry
bushels enough to supply all the fresh
fruit you can use during the season,
WITH some for putting up in winterk
with some for putting Up for winter.

experience in the preparation for prof

get both the school training and expe-

entific information on soils, crops,
breeding, feeding and an awakening
to the value of improved breeds of
