OF the Well-lnformed of the World has

efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark.

When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
In selecting breeding stock it is an
item to know they are from a family
noted for fertility, as this is an inner
tied quality.
To secure the best results care should
be taken to feed the hogs according to
age, conditions and time of marketing.
When an all-corn ration is fed to
growing pigs the muscles of the body
do not develop to their normal size.
Desirable breeding qualities in a
herd are fixed by a long line of care
full selection and breeding.
The swine breeder is responsible not
only for the conditions he provides but
for those he permits.
The boy and the pig, generally speak
ing, are the important factors on the
American stock farm.

Prof. Fraser Of the Illinois Expert
ment Station says that a complete
knowledge and mastery of the dairy
business cannot be secured without
testing each COW. Many farmers and
dairymen think this testing of the cows
is too much trouble, and do not want
to fuss around with it, but if they
considered the profits to be realized
from a herd of really good COWS as
compared with one of poor COWS, or
even a mixed herd, they would soon see
that it really pays to fuss around
with the scales and BabcOck test
Where one COW Will give good returns
for her feed and care there may be
another in the stall next to her that is
not paying her board. but is eating up
the profits from the paying cow But
how is the owner to know this if he
does not test them? \ pair Of scales
and Il tester 10 not cost much. but they
pay big profits on the investment.

CAPTURING AN ENGINE.
How Plucky Engineer Overlook &
Runaway on English Railway.

One of the finest stories in the history
Of the railways centers round a runaway
engine on the Stockton and Darlington
line.
The engine was observed by the driver
Of another and more powerful one. See
ing the fugitive speeding in the direction
of Darlington he uncoupled his own en-
CINE, crossed the points and set out in
pursuit on the same line. 1t was a long
chase, but the pursuer, driven at top
speed, gradually overhauled the run
away.
At last it came near enough for the
driver to crawl to the front of his en-
CINE and drop a stout chain over the ten
der hook of the other. He returned to
his fOotplate shut off steam and screwed
down his brake.
This steaded the one in front and so
retarded its pace that the driver was
able now to creep from his own engine
on to the runaway, but on the brake, and
bring it to a standstill, almost in the
crowded Darlington station. = London

Seven Lean Years.

Brugsch Bey, the Psychologist, says
that it is no longer difficult to understand
the origin of the ''seven lean years. mar
rative in the book of Genesis. The hier-
oglyphic inscriptions translated by him
show that 100 years before tie Chris
tan era the Nile for seven consecutive
years did not overflow and famine, pesti-
lence and misery followed. I'VE know, -
says he, that the date of the seven years
of fruitlessness mentioned in Genesis
was 100 B. c.. and thus what has been
looked upon as a fancy has through these
hieroglyphics become a matter of history.

Grating Methods.


Apple trees are usually propagated
III the nursery either by budding or
root grating two-yearold seedlings.
Larger seedlings may be taken up and
the roots cut into a great number of
sections five or six inches long. Upon
these the Scions of the desired varie-
ties should be grated by means of the
whip and tongue method of grating,
as shown in the accompanying illus
tratiOns. This grating does not re-
quire any wax, the parts being simply
held together by binding with Irvine OF
raffia. Root grating of this kind is
usually done during the winter time,
and the CRAFTS stored in moist sand or
soil until the ground is fit for plant
ing them outside in the spring. They
should then be planted i'll nursery rows,
and i'll two or three years should make
trees large enough to transplant to per
manent positions.
Top grating is usually done by the
cleft method, as shown i'll the illus
tratiOnS. IN this method the sciOnS
are cut wedge-shaped and fitted firmly
into the cleft made in the stock, which
is usually cut off Squarely where the
branches are from one to two inches
i'll diameter, two scions being placed in
each stock. In this, as in all methods
of grating, great care must be taken
to get the cambium layer or inner
bark, of the stock and scion in contact
i'll at least one side, for it is at this
point that union takes place, and any
failure to connect the cambium layers
Of stock and scion is sure to result in
failure of the sciOns. IN top graft
ing, the wounded surfaces should be
covered with grating wax. A good
formula for this is: -Four parts of res
in, two of beeSwaX and one of tallow,
by weight, melted together. Top graft
ing should be done early in the spring,
before growth commences.
In all this propagation work great
care should be taken to select scions
from trees bearing the very best type
of the varieties intended for propa-

80 BUSHELS OF OATS TO THE
ACRE.
W hat Mr.. kaItenbrunner Has to
Say About His Grain Crops in
Central Canada,

What Mr.. KaItenbrunner Has to
Say About His Grain Crops in
Central Canada.
Writing from Regina, Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A Kalten-
Drummer writes:
Some years ago l took up q home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Greek is a low,
level and heavy land. We put in 70
acres of wheat in stubble, which went
20 bushels TO the acre, and 80 acres of
summer fallow, which went % bushels
to the acre. All the wheat we harvest
ed this year is No. / hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first class seed,
for there is no doubt if you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class cats out Of $50 acres; 80 acres
has been fall blowing, which yielded 90
bushels per acre, and so acres stubble,
which went 80 bushels to the acre.
These oats are the best kind that can
be raised. We have shipped three car
loads Of them, and got 53 cents per
buShei clear All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of Au-
gust before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself l feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions. -
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta may be had on application
to any Canadian Government Agent,
whose advertisement appears elsewhere.
He will give you information as to the
best route and what it will cost you
to reach these lands for purposes of
inspection.

But don't neglect the old sheep. Feed
them at the right time and in the right
place.
There is that sheep with hair in
place of wool. Get her out of the flock.
Wool is what we are after, not hair.
As soon as the ewes have all been
served get the ram out He will only
be a nuisance from that time on.
1t is a good plan to have a little yard
with a trough made on purpose for the
lambs just outside the lot where the
sheep are kept.
1t isn't much trouble to count the
sheep every day. Better do it and be
sure that all of them are all right.
The hog has the credit of being the

Poultry Tins,

Eggs need to be turned in the incu-
bator. Don't neglect 1t.
Don't expect prize stock from cheap
eggs.
Make the nests handy not only to
clean out but to gather the eggs from.
The wet grass is no place for the
young chicks to run unless they are ex-
pected TO die Of cram.1s.
A bushel of grain year for each
laying hen is said to be the proper
amount to count on in estimating the
cost of keeping poultry.
Fowls like green food as well as any
other class of stock. They need it in
their business. SO it is good policy to
keep them supplied.
