shady Watering Trough,

The writer may be a crank on the
summer care of animals, but at least
he knows that it pays well to look out
for their comfort during the heated
spell. Knowing the luxury of drink
of cool water in warm weather an in
telligent man realizes that an animal
will enjoy its water much more il It
is in a shady place where it Is cool
and where also there may be littls
shade for the animal while it is drink
ing. Only in some sections do we find
the, old-time drinking trough heWn
from a log than which nothing better
has ever been devised.
On most farms it will not be at all
hard to find corner shaded by trees
or vines where this trough may be 10

serve as hitching post near the

Continuous Corn Culture.

In the spring Of 1894, at the Rhode
Island experiment station, Professors
G. E. Adams and H. J. Wheeler began
the study of the continuous culture of
corn on an acre of soil that is partly
a silt loan and partly a light sandy
loan. In the first two years only chem
icaI fertilizers were used. the main
tenancn of soil humus being placed
upon the corn stubble remaining upon
the field. The following two years
half of the area was sown with Grim
son clover at the time of the last cul-
tiyation of corn and half to rye, in
order to compare the merits Of a legu-
minous and nonleguminous crop as a
means of maintaining soil humus.
Beginning with 1898, after the ex-
pertinent was in progress four years
the first quarter of the acre plat was
sown to crimson clover and the third
quarter to winter rye at the time Of
the last cultivation of the corn, while
the second and fourth quarter acre re-
ceived no clover crop In 1899 the
land was lined to secure the success of
clover
A summary of the results during the
twelve years the experiment has been
conducted shows the gain from using
clover as a cover crop, after deducting
the cost of the seed, was 5000, or an
average of S4.19 per acre annually,
compared with $4.2S, or an average of
SO cents an acre annually from using
rye

Alfalfa Seed Testing.

Directions are given by the Texas
station for testing the purity of alfalfa
seed and the weed seeds frequently
found in it, together with seeds some
times used as its adulterants, such as
bur clover and sweet clover, are de-
scribed.
In 1905 the station tested thirty
two samples of alfalfa seed obtained
from the wholesale houses of the
State. In these samples thirty differ
ent weed seeds were found. The per-
centage of sand. trash and broken seed
varied from 0 to 90 per cent. Testing
the vitality of the seed is also describ-
ed. The results secured with the thir-
ty-two samples showed their vitality
or terminating power to vary from
49, to 96.5 per cent, the greater num-
Der having vitality of over so per
cent. The actual values of the seed
samples in percentages varied from
1916 to 96. The results in detail are
given in a table

Breeding Sows.

Breeds Of swine have been injured to
certain degree by using animals for
breeding purposes that We're not fully
matured. Experiments made with ma
tured sows and young sows show that
the cost of raising pigs from matured
sows is much less than from younger
dams, while the losses Of pigs were
also much greater when the dams
were young. 1t has been claimed that
liability TO swine cholera and other
diseases is likewise caused by the use
of immature animals for breeding pur-
poses.

sired. 1t is now considered indispensa-
Bile to all who keep sheep, but, as it is
also relished by other stock, it will be
found serviceable in providing a sue
culent food late in the season after

Fruit Growing,

Fruit sometimes sells at a low price
and does not pay, but the same may be
said of all crops. The farmes how
ever, is not usually a fruit grower Tex
cept of apples), and strawberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries are seldom
cultivated on some farms. Whether
grown for market or not, such fruit
should be produced on every farm by
way of variety and for home use. The
luxuries can be produced more easily
b. farmers than can the regular crops
Of grain. 1t takes two or three acres
of wheat to buy the produce that can
be derived from a quarter of an acre

COMMENCED IN WEST.
ERN CANADA.
The Prospects for Il Large Acrca sc
to Be SoYvn in Wheat.

to Be Sown in Wheat.
st. Paul, April 24, 1907-Word has
been received at the office of the Cana
dian Government in st. Paul that seed
ing has commenced at various points
throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding operations.
The fine weather of the past few days
has taken much of the frost out of the
ground, and during next week there
will scarcely be a district in which the
seeder is not being operated. The most
optimistic conditions exist, and in all
districts the farmers are busy getting
things in shape. There will be Il very
large acreage Sown in spring wheat,
oats and barley. At many points
throughout the three provinces the
newcomers are busy unloading their
stock and effects, working night and
day in order to get on their farms and
become active agencies in the effort to
make the year 1907 the banner year in
grain-producing in Western Canada.
As compared with districts many hun
dred miles further south than this. it
Will be seen that Western Canada
ranks amongst the first in the line of
seeding operations for the present year
1t is safe to say that farmers, who get
i'll their crop before the Goth or 24th of
May, Will receive magnificent returns.
y number of those coming in this
spring, who had not their land pre-
pared last fall, will break up enough
land to get in a crop of oats and barley
and probably some flax. This. together
with the vegetables they will plant
will give them ample food for them
selves and stock during the coming
summer and winter. These early seed
ing operations are not confined to one
district, but are spread over a country
900 miles long by 400 miles in width
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are busy
giving information regarding the many

able for settlers. Low railway rates

The Early Fruits and Vegetables.

Ground intended for onions should
be plowed as early as the weather will
permit, as the onion crop is the first to
go in. One method of producing onions
is to SOW the seeds in hotbeds and
transplant the small bulbs later. The
seeds may be sown in the hotbeds in
January or February. By thus grow
ing them there is saving of time and
less difficulty with weeds. If prefer

no less than JOG 100000 head of sheep.
That was III 1891.
Prolonged drouGhts were the cause of
the destruction of many millions of Aus

been an annual gain. Yet these sheep
were not Indigenous to Australia. They
were first introduced in 1891. being of
