border of Caesars northern conquest.
Cologne is an interesting city. like
rany cities in Germany progressive,
having taken down the old wall, filled
the moat, made a boulevard that circles
the city, bordered with trees and mod

entered the cathedral, said to be the
largest Gothic building ever constructed
and was eight centuries from laying
the conner stone to the completion IN
1881. We walked down the nave to
the chancel and greatly admired the
beautiful windows: and listened TO the
loud volume of music from the organ.
While the cathedral will hold forty
thousand people, less than hundred
attended the mass. This cathedral mas

CULTIVATE THE HEN.

The farmers of the Big Bend
are now in the midst of planting
the 1909 crop, upon which rests
the prosperity Of this part Of the
country. The weather being warm
and dry, the industrious farmer
is afforded an excellent oppOr-
tunity to finish that part Of his
labor which shapes his future and
the result of which he will look
upon week after week with anx-
iety and hope. The absence of
the usual spring rains allows the
work of seeding to go on un1nter-
rupted and gives the assurance
that the moisture will come when
most needed to mature the grain.
The sprouting, growth and ripen-
ing of the wheat crop depends al
most entirely on the weather
something over which we have no
control, it's success being a risk.
Our farmers should have learned
by experience and market prices
that the revenue from poultry car
ries as large per cent Of net
profit as any branch of farming,
Knowing this, we would urge
them to give a little more atten-
ton to the raising Of the best
laying breeds of chickens.
The price Of eggs each winter
reaches a figure that makes their
use almost an eXtravagant luxury.
An enormous amount of money is
paid to the outside world each
year by the people Of eastern
Washington for eggs. Let us
plan to supply our needs with the
products Of our country as much
as possible, then will our wealth
increase to the extent of every
dollar that we save by such
methods.
Don't discourage the hen when
she wants to set, or forget to
spend few dollars for an incu-
bator as well as for a pillow and
drill. These are revenues that
are less affected by the weather
than wheat fields.-Davenport
Tribune.

Bulbs should be planted not later
than the middle of October, as they
will require six weeks to two months

succeed best in fiye-inch pots, or if

pieces of broken pot or charcoal in

fill the pot with soil and shake 1t
down by striking the bottom of the pot

down the soil before planting. as In
that way the roots will force the bulb

within half an inch Of the top of the

SHORT AND LONG
KEEP FEEDERS
BY Prof. Day, Ontario AgrtcuI.
turaI College,

At the Ontario Agricultural college
we have conducted several expert.
ments along these lines. but so many
things enter into the problem that il
is impossible to draw definite concu.
sions from the work that we have
accomplished so far 1t is our inten.
ton to carry the work further, and at
tempt to reach something like salts.
factory conclusions A peculiar feat.
ure of the case is that the lone.keen
steers have always produced cbeaper
gains than the short-keop steers. 1t
Is impossible, however, TO produce q
pound of gain in live weight at the
price per pound for which live ami.
mails are sold There is. therefore
loss on every pound of increase
which steer makes, and the more
pounds OF increase which he is re
quired to make before he is At for
market, the greater the loss will be.
thus a steer which requires to gain
only 200 pounds before he is fit for
market, will give a smaller loss than
the steer which requires to gain 800
pounds before he is finished 1t Is
true, as mentioned before. that the
long-keep steer can be made, with
careful feeding, to produce pound
OF gain at a less cost than the short.
keep steer; but this difference in ia.
vor of the long keep steer is not sufi-
cient to counterbalance the disadvan-
tage in having to put on greater
number of pounds The only chance
of profit that the feeder has is in max
ing the carcass which he purchased
worth so much that it will wipe out
the loss incurred in producing the gain
in weight, This being the case, il fol
lows that a person can afford to pay
more per pound for heshy steer
which can be finished in a short time
than for a thin steer which requires
to make larger gain, and consequent
ly calls for a longer period of feeding
How much this difference may amount
to depends upon a number of Circum-
stances, such as the price at which
the steers are sold the cost of the
foods used. and other considerations.
It is seldom that the difference is less
than % cents per hundred pounds in
favor of the short-keep steer, aud it
may run as high as + hts per hun
dred, or perhaps even o. 20 under Ger.
tain conditions. So far hoWeyer, it is
impossible to give exaC Eures, and
indeed, it may never b assible to
do so. At the same time, however,
the feeder may rest assured that he
can usually afford to pay from so to
rs cents per hundred more for good
steers than for inferior ones.

PROTECTING
FRUIT TREES
BY Charles Young, Ontario.

Winter protection Of the trunk and
lower portion of the top is necessary
for some years. | find the advice to
use a thin veneer of little use. The
veneer, at most, protects only the
trunk and leaves the collar exposed,
and this is the vital part of the tree.
If not severely scalded the trunk viii
get all right again; but, if the collar
of the tree is injured to the same eX-
tent, the tree is killed unless a new
head is formed below the injured por
ton.
have tried many different protect
ors, such as barrel slaves, Eastwood
bark, building paper etc. but have
found nothing more effective than a
strip of burlap or any old sacking
wound round the trunk and lower por
ton of the top. This entails a good
deal of work when there are many
trees to go over, and a simpler and
possibly just as effective method is
to make up some lime whitewash,
have it about the consistency Of plas-
terer's putty, when it is run off
Throw a handful or two OF fine sand
or wood ashes into the pail, stir it up
and apply with an old broom or white
wash brush Lay it on good and thick
about the collar OF the tree. have
found this a perfect protection from
sun scald, besides being of benefit to
the tree otherwise.
