Canadian farmers have come to the
conclusion as the result of long expert,
ence that they can produce their pork
more cheaply on imported American
corn than on their home grown peas
and barley. This fact is likely to ere
ate an active demand for American
corn from that country.

that it is to good variety of foods
rather than to any specific combination
Of them that best results in feeding are
due. The following list shows the

is more often determined by the num-

GOVERNMENT HORSE BREEDING.

GOVERNMENT HORSE BREEDING,
In order to provide suitable mounts
for the cavalry branch of the army
the French government assumed con-
troll Of the horse breeding interests of
the country number Of years ago.
This official supervision has resulted in
producing the best type of horses to be
found in the world. During recent
session Of our own congress bill was
passed allowing $4,000 for the pur-
chase OF pure bred horses of approved
type, which are to be used as the nu-
cleus Of horse breeding station which
Is to be established in Colorado. While
the purpose Of the work proposed is
not the same as that of the French
government, 1t will serve just as useful
a purpose, being to improve the stand
ard Of the American draft horse under
careful government direction and ST.
pervision. The same results are now
being attained In many portions Of the
country, though In a less systematic
way, by the use Of only first class and
pure bred sires, as the high prices that
eastern buyers are always willing to
pay for grades from such sires will
amply testify. 1t has been proved be-
yond question that 1t costs just as
much to raise scrub as it does a pure
bred and that such horse will only
fetch about half as much when ready
for market.

Lean bacon contains as much protein
and about twice as much digestible
fat as other meats, which makes it at
even higher price per pound a more
economical ration. Bacon is easily .di-
gested and when combined with other
foods seems to exert a favorable action
on the digestive process.

The bordeaux mixture will prevent
the ravages OF the early and late pota-
to blight. 1t should be applied the first
time when the plants are about eight
or ten inches high and again in Au-
gust If the late blight appears. The
solution in question is made by dissolv-
ing five pounds of copper sulphate in
fifty gallons of water and adding five
pounds Of stone lime. If the beetles
are in evidence at the time Of either
spraying, MORE likely the first, half a
pound Of paris green added to the
bordeaux mixture will put them out
Of business.

A factor which will contribute much
toward increasing the milk flow OF the
dairy cows next August is a good sized
patch of sweet corn planted near your
feed lot or barnyard. This will tide
the cows over the dry spell and keep
up the milk flow until the September
rains restore the pastures. While this
is precaution that is easily taken, 1t
is often neglected and results in
greatly lessened milk or cream check
for the time being and n reduced yield
of milk throughout the fall and winter
following,

The settlers along the Missouri river
slope make practice of tapping the
soft maple trees which grow there
abundantly and from the sap make an
excellent quality of sugar and strip.
While the sap from this tree is not as
sweet as that OF the hard maple, it
makes product that is greatly supe-
rior to the ordinary commercial article.
II you think you must have a quick
growing deciduous tree there is moth
ing better in the whole list than the
soft maple or sycamore. 1t will grow
almost as fast as the cottonwood or the
willow, is free from insect pests and
furnishes quality Of wood for fuel
purposes easily worked up and every
way superior to most OF the soft woods.

The best remedy we know of for hog
cholera may be summed up thus:
Breed only from well matured parents
and keep corn away from the pigs un-
til they are year old, then finish them
for market. There may be no money
in raising hogs after this rule; still we
believe it would pay better than main
tanning hog cemetery on nearly every
farm in the country.

DELAYED AT ISMALIA.

Capt. Hosley. commanding the squadron
which is conveying the drydock Dewey
to the Philippines, has cabled the Navy
Department that the tug Potomac and the
Dewey have been slightly delayed 1t
Ismalia on account OF wind. Ismalia is
about forty-one miles from Port Said, and
lacks four miles of being half way through
the canal, although 1t is generally spoken
or as the halfway place. There Is q large
lake at Ismalia that affords a good stop
ping place. The Dewey has now passed
through the longest cut in the canal, and
the remainder of the passage will be
easier. Between Ismalia and the southern
end of the waterway are two lakes which
will make good stopping places for the big
dock.
