Shredded Corn.

When corn is husked and the slower
shredded at very slight increase in
cost liver that of husking by hand, the
practice must commend itself to every
farmer on account of the greater con-
venience with which the material may
be handled and fed, and the ability to
preserve the material from damage by
rains, etc, says Director II. J. Waters,
Missouri experiment station. Not only
so, but the greatest single objection to
the present method of handling stover
Is the difficulty of getting 1t out of the
field during the winter and early spring
months without injury to the land and
the growing wheat crop, which is often
sown in the corn in autumn.
Moreover, shredding undoubtedly re-
lieves the farmer of one of the most
disagreeable tasks on the farm-the
handling of the coarse stalks in bad
weather, and relief from the necessity
of digging this material out OF the snow
In winter Likewise, 1t also makes 1t
possible TO feed the material under a
shed or In the barn. using the portion
refused by stock for bedding. and still
have the manure In a condition to be
handled easily by manure spreader.

growing our dominant characteristics
If they are then let us not be sur
prised if we find ourselves unpopular.
Our friends are only obeying the sound
advice of st. Paul. Beeause-and 1t Is
in all charity grumblers are, if posi-
Bile, to be severely let alone It is abso-
lutely necessary for our own peace of
mind that we escape from the atmos-
phere Of their querulous complalnings.
No one can associate with those who
are chronic grumblers, chronic fault
finders, chronic sneerers and belittlers
of other men and women without ac-
quiring some of their unhappy charac-
teristics. We can see this to perfection
in Sheridan's wonderful comedy of
''The School for Scandal" A young
girl from the country quickly sinking
to the level of My Lady Sneerwell or
My Lady Backblte, a truly choice col
lection of GROWERS who bark, snap and
yelp against the reputation of every
one of their negihbors.
What will save us from becoming
chronic grumblers? Surely we have the
answer in the prayer Of the Psalmist:
Create in me a clean heart and re-
new a right spirit within me-" Change
my disposition, o God, so that 1 shall
not grieve and wound my friends by
sneers, innuendoes and petty cavilings,
and grant that as long as l live 1 may
never be a growing and snarling dog,
but a human soul that believes in sym
pathy, in kindness and in following
closely the footsteps of the Carpenter
of Nazareth.
One of the horrible ways of killing
the early Christians was to dress them
in the skins of wild animals and then
set pack of savage dogs upon them to
tear them in pieces. Those hard old
Romans loved to behold human suffer
ing in every conceivable form, and
lot of helpless men and women worried
to death on the sands of the arena was
a rare spectacle to the mob of the I'm
perial City. and also formed no doubt
many a jest to their masters as they
rolled home in their chariots along the
Appian Way. And yet are we to-day
very different in cruelty when we grum-
BILE and snarl all day long, poisoning
the lives of those about us, breaking
their hearts by our i'll humor and driv-
ing them at last to despair by our
chronic nagging?

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Talking about the road to heaven is
not tie same as walking in 1t.
Many a cloud that we call sorrow is
but the shadow of our own selfishness.
Perfection is a good deal more than
the power of picking faults in other
people.
You may know by its warmth and
cheer whether a mans light comes from
heaven.
1t never has been explained why TIE
Sunday drizzle looks wetter than a
Monday downpour.
What a paradise this world would be
If every man was as good as he would
have the rest of us to be!
1t is a good deal easier to say
"brother" in a smooth way than to
spend time smoothing your brothers
way.
Some Christians faithfully obey the
Injunction to watch; but they wear out
their eyes watching for faults in their
neighbors.

DoNT's FOR cHURcHMEN.

Don't be afraid of duty. The fearful
are always faithless.
Don't yield to little temptations even.
1t takes a clean heart to keep a clear
head.
Don't seek prominence in church
work. The love of greatness generally
prevents a desire for goodness.
Don't plead lack of time for religious
duties. The man who makes such ex-
cuse is inspired by the devil.
Don't praise God with your lips, I'M
less your praise springs from your
heart The man who does so is a liar
in the sight of the Almighty.
Don't think that the preachers ser
mons will relieve you from responsible
iy to your fellow men. The most eff.
fective sermons are those on two legs.
Don't think that your praying to
God viii be heard SO long as you are
preying on your fellows. The man
heard by God is the one who tries to
obey his commandments
Don't think you can cause sinners TO
repent by exposing them When you
hold a sinful man up to the gaze OF the
world, you invariably make him an
enemy TO you, to your religion. and to
God. Follow Christ's example II you
would do good.

specIxs in Butter.

The white specks in butter may be
caused by one or two things. Some
times when the cream is set In shallow
pans or If the cow does not give very
rich milk and the scum of cream is
thin, little particles of cream on the
top of the scum will dry and do not
churn into the butter, but will remain
in their hard state and either show
specks in the butter or come to the top
Of the water In washing The trouble
can be hindered by straining the cream
before churning
The other way is caused from leav-
ing the cream stand too long before
churning. If a little of the milk is
skinned off each time with the cream
this will, of course, settle to the bot
tom. There 1t gets oyerripe and forms
a curd that will Re so hard that ii will
not break up In the churning, but
makes white specks In the butter
This can be hindered by a closer skim.
ming and by not allowing the cream
to stand as long before churning.
Straining the cream is also beneficial
in this case.

FertiIining the orchard.

Experience everywhere teaches that
an orchard will live longer, bear better
and be more profitable for being well
cultivated and enriched. The expert.
ment stations have tried both methods
and have collected opinions from the
best fruit growers in their sections,
and the verdict in almost every case is
that cultivation is necessary for
healthy trees and first-class fruit.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly af-
ter they come into bearing. Potash may
be had in wood ashes and muriate of
potash. 1t is most commonly used in
the latter form. An unusual applica-
ton of potash should be made upon
bearing orchards, 500 pounds to the
acre.

U. s. Farmers Are Recognizing
Splendid Opportunities offered
by Western Canada.
st. Paul, Mimi, February.-Present
indications are that the Canadian
Northwest viii draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to re-
alize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads have
awakened TO the fact and are offering
rates to the Canadian Northwest which
are exceptionally favorable.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offer
ing homeseekers' rates to the Cana
dian Northwest this year which are
on parity with those in existence to
the southwest for couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, who viii be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest In
ducements to settlers. The wca her
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January Goth, says:
This winter up to January 25th,
was nothing short of a marvel, in fact,
1t was the finest anyone can remem-
Der for twenty-five years, though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Oyercoats and
gloves, ETC., were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was so
little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trou-.
BILE after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start
Amongst the reports of the yield
last year the following extracts are
taken:
II, Howe, Of Magrath, Alta, writing
on November, 1907, says: 81 have 10
acres in crop, 80 acres of wheat and
Z acres of oats. My average yield Of
oats was 80 bushels to the acre, and of
wheat As bushels. Tie value to me
was $35 per acre."
J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
In November: Il had 65 acres In win
ter wheat which went so bushels to the
acre; oats averaged so bushels. l also
had II tons of hay worth $40 per ton.
1 got 600 bushels of potatoes from
acres of land; l got tons per acre
from acres Of sugar beets."
j. L. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1000 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 1914 bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats.
S11.20, and barley $2515.

1t Is no easy task to place a barrel

Inserted. The following simple expe-
dent will make it easier: First stand
the barrel on end. Bore the hole for
the faucet in the usual way and then
plug 1t with cork. Shave the cork
off close to the barrel. Having placed
the barrel in position, put the end OF
the faucet squarely and firmly on the
cork. Drive 1t into the barrel, forcing
the cork ahead. A turn or so of the
faucet makes it tight.

Unto joy or sorrow grown;

Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest! grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home;

All that doth offend that day;
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
