FARM FACTS.

Don't be dead one. Get out of the
rut.
The proper handling of farm calls
for thought as we'll as work. It pays
to study every field and crop.
The waste of the farm will pay the
interest on the mortgage if handled
right. Weeds may be turned into
seven-cent lambs and mutton.
Half the money spent each year for
wagons could be saved if better care
was taken of the old ones. Make it a
rule not to leave the old wagon out of
doors over night.
The farmer who raises some grain
and keeps few COWS will find that
a flock of 100 to 900 fowls can be
made very valuable. The skim milk
and the grain will be well paid for fed
to good fowls

STUDYING THE SOIL.
The Successful Farmer Must Know
Nature Of His Land.

To be successful in it's cultivation,
the farmer must study his SOIL If he
expects to hold and increase the soils
fertility, rendering it fit for cultiva-
ton, it is necessary that he should
know of what it is made. knowing
that he can intelligently add to or
subtract from the ingredients in which
it is deficient, or with which it super
abOunds.
A fertile soil is one of apparently
good texture, or peats, containing sui
plate of iron, or any acid matter; and
yet such a soil can be remedied by a
top dressing with lime, which converts
the sulphate into manure. BY the ap.
plication of sand or clay, says the
Epitomist, a soil in which there is an
excess of limey matter can be i'm.
proved. A dressing of clay, mari or
vegetable matter will likewise benefit
soil that is too abundant in sand
Peat will improve light soils and peat
will be improved by a dressing of
sand, though the former in the course
of nature is but a temporary improve
ment.
Soils which are loose in their tex.
ture, neither so light as to become
readily dry, nor SO heavy that they
will get too wet in rainy weather, are
the most fertile. The amount of nitro
gen in the soil largely determines its
fertility. This nitrogen is stored up
only by previous generations of plants.
The most fertile field can sooner or
later be brought to state of exhaus.
ton by severe cropping, in which
more nitrogen is removed from the
soil in the crop than is formed and
stored up in the soil during the same
period.

the loop in the staple seven inches so
as to allow plenty of sliding space for
the gate board. The legs of the staple
are left about six or eight inches long
so that when two holes are bored into
the posts, quartering as shown in the

quartering is obvious, inasmuch as it
is necessary to secure sufficient space
to open and swing the gate to one

Corn and Oats as Food for Horses.

Corn and Oats as Food for Horses.
Corn is an excellent addition to the
horses feed when hard worked in cool
weather, but not as suitable as oats in
hot weather. It is incomplete as re-.
CARDS mineral matter needed for bone
and sinew-making, ingredients in
which oats are rich. Yet, if properly
fed, corn is an excellent food, but does
not take the place of oats if the grain
is old and sound. Oats make muscle
and at the same time supply vim and
vigor, some heat and much force.
while a surplus is capable of being
stored up in the tissues as fat and
heterogeneous matter to be drawn upon
under extra stress. Corn, on the other
hand, is in the animal economy mainly
for the generation of heat and the sur.
plus all goes to form heat fat. The
work horse needs food that is not only
concentrated but nutritious.

England and America and the only
difference l can see is that the I'M
employed in America for a short time
after losing work, are better dressed,
they do not spend so much money on
drink as do our fellow countrymen."
These words spoken the other day
by Mr.. John Burns, the famous labor
member of parliament are very apt to
prove his political undoing, for the
workmen of England are furious
against him and claim that few
years of political success and recent
royal favor has made him turn traitor
to the cause of labor.
Other labor leaders have not been
slow in discovering which way the
wind blows and have hurried to get on
record as strongly opposed to the
views held by Mr.. Burns. Mr.. John
Hodge also a labor member of par

Steel Workers Union and visited
America last year declared that while
drunkenness is increasing in the Unit
ed States it is rapidly decreasing in
England.
